May I install more than one message display to every plc?
If that is possible, how can I program it.

Technical support / ADC OR ENCODERS?
« on: October 13, 2002, 12:02:32 PM »
I need to control the position of three part in a machine (Angle, Head and Table).
Those positions need to have a small variation (less than 1/16).
Right now, that machine has a system with a motor, a shaft, a small reduction gear and a potenciometer (10k ohms) for every part ( Angle, Head and Table) and uses a lot of boards (very expensive) to control and adjust the speed of every motor according with the position.
The relation among the gears, shafts and potenciometers is arround 13 ohms by every 1/16" of movement.
I have two posibilities:
1. I don't know if I can use the same potenciometers and read every one throught the ADC inputs.
2. Use three encoders to read the positions. If I can use the encoders,
what kind of encoders ?
What and how many PLC's?.
What configuration ?
do I need to use.
If none of those are good choose, I'm glad to recive the best one.
Thanks for all.

Technical support / OPTIC FIBER, LCD AND BARCODE SCANNERS
« on: November 06, 2002, 05:47:30 AM »
TO EVERYBODY.
I'M CONNECTING A T100-MD888 AS A MASTER WITH 2 T40H AS SLAVES, THE MASTER PLC IS AT THE SERVER'S ROOM 400' FROM THE PLANT, AND IT WILL RECIEVE THE PRODUCTION'S INFORMATION.
I'M SENDING THE COMMUNICATION TROUGHT THE 400' BETWEEN THE BUILDINGS USING OPTIC FIBER.
I'M USING TWO RS485 TO OPTIC FIBER CONVERTER, ONE AT THE PLANT SIDE AND TH OTHER AT THE SERVER'S ROOM. THE CONVERTERS WERE TESTED BY TRIANGLE REASERCH TECHNICAL SUPPORT AND IT WORKS FINE.
AS MY PROYECT WILL BE DONE ?I LET YOU KNOW.
THE TQUESTION IS,
AS I AM USING T40H PLCS
MAY I CONNECT SOME LCD420 DIRECT TO THE NETWORK SO THE LCD DISPLAYED THE INFORMATION SENDED FROM THE MASTER PLC?
USING A AUTO-485, MAY I CONNECT A SCANNER AT ANY PLACE TO SEND INFORMATION TO THE MASTER PLC?
IF THESE IS POSSIBLE, HOW CAN I PROGRAM AND CONNECT THEM?

Hi, I need to overwrite a program in a T100Md, using Trilogi5.12 but when I try to connect to that Plc, it need a Password and I don't know what it is. I read at the manual and it shows me how to erase a password using trilogi 4.1 but I don't have the same menu at the trilogi 5.12. How can I erase the password?

If you are using a t100md and it is connected to any computer or server, try to use the PRINT funtion. If you use this funtion, the plc will send any caracters to a txt file. so you going to have the register of any stop or run time.
I'm using these dcusF
#1 will be activated when the machine stop
A$= STR$(TIME[1])+":"+STR$(TIME[2])
H$= STR$(DATE[2])+" "+STR$(DATE[3])+" "+STR$(DATE[1])
PRINT #1 "<APPEND"+H$+".txt>"
PRINT #1 "RUNNING FROM: ";B$;" TO ";A$
PRINT #1 "</>"
#2 will be activated when the machine start
B$=STR$(TIME[1])+":"+STR$(TIME[2])
H$= STR$(DATE[2])+" "+STR$(DATE[3])+" "+STR$(DATE[1])
PRINT #1 "<APPEND"+H$+".txt>"
PRINT #1 "STOPPED FROM: ";A$;" TO ";B$
PRINT #1 "</>"
The H$ is to save the date, so every day the plc will open a new file according to the date.
Start with that and you can save a lot of information such as reason of the stop, and so on; using that format.

I think, i found the problem.
DM[102]= VAL(MID$(I$,1,4))
I change the VAL(MID$(I$,6,4))
since it was reading from the first caracter insted the sixth caracter. Is that right?

Ok, I changed the funtion to:
I$= NETCMD$(3,"@02RU0C") 'Read SPEED-COUNTER (#13) preset value
DM[102]= VAL(MID$(I$,1,4)) 'Keep the value temporarily
J$= NETCMD$(3,"@02RU0D") 'Read SPEED-COUNTER (#14) preset value
DM[103]= VAL(MID$(J$,1,4)) 'Keep the value temporarily
K$= NETCMD$(3,"@02RU0E") 'Read SPEED-COUNTER (#15) preset value
DM[104]= VAL(MID$(K$,1,4)) 'Keep the value temporarily
just to read the value, without the return, every counter with a diferent variable (I$,J$,K$) and also I am extracting 4 caracters from the variable.
When I monitor online the value of every variable(I$,J$,K$), the values change every minute. These are some value that i copied.
I$=@02RU027747* J$=@02RU00694A* K$=@02RU027545*
I$=@02RU030741* J$=@02RU007547* K$=@02RU030442*
I$=@02RU01914C* J$=@02RU000346* K$=@02RU018844*
however, the value of the DM's (102,103,104) didn't change. They always show 0.

Technical support / READING A COUNTER
« on: January 08, 2003, 08:43:40 AM »
I'm trying to read the value of a counter. The Master is a T100MD and the slave is a T40. I set the counter to 400.
1. Are the T40's counters only decremental counters?
2. I want to read the value of the counter every minute and save the value in a variable or DM, and after a read, send a comand to reset the value of the counter (400 ).
I use a dCusF with a 1min contact.
B$ = NETCMD$(3,"@02RU0C") ' Read SPEED-COUNTER (#13) preset value
IF LEN(B$) = 0 RETURN: ENDIF ' Not getting response
DM[102] = HEXVAL(MID$(B$,6,2))
C$= NETCMD$(3,"@02WU0C0000") ' CLEAR SPEED COUNTER PRESET VALUE
where is the problem if that is posible.

Hi,
I want to print caracters, so I am looking for printer to do it. However, I'd like to send different ASCII caracters with a T100MD via RS485 to every printer. I need to know the specification should have the printers. Do they need IP address? How the PLC difference every printer?
