Simulation on Trilogic problems

[sid80555]

When i simulate my circuit on Trilogic it works fine without any errors but sometimes the timers i use in the circuit stop working and the entire circuit stops responding. The number of rungs are 61, is it because there are 2 many rungs in my circuit?

The number of rungs should not affect the timer running. Are you able to close the simulator windows when this happen or do you need to force end the software? The Java may have crashed or operating system is in unstable state when running your program. Try to restart Windows and run the program again.

It seems to happen only sometimes.
But i have bigger problem now, the ladder logic executes perfectly as  i want it when i simulate it in tri-logic 6.3.But when i write the program to the FMD88-10 plc and connect it to the HMI keypad and LCD and try to execute the ladder logic it does not seem to work at all. I have used plently of input,outputs and timers in my program.Would you be able to run the ladder program in your PLC and tell me if it runs fine?

[sid80555]

I have used inputs from No1 to No256, Outputs from 1 to 256 and timers from 1 to 64. I feel my inputs 106,107 (which i set in the ladder diagram at some point)do not seem to function when i transfer it to the PLC and whereas during simulation it seems to execute fine.

I am using the FMD 88-10..Would i be able to send you the Ladder logic circuit for you to run it on your plc and check? Please let me know since this is a little urgent..thanks

Yes, please send to support@tri-plc.com

How many EXP4040 are you using with the FMD88-10?

[sid80555]

I sent it from my gmail ID, i am not using any expansion module since the inputs and the outputs are just being used in my programs and not to turn on/off physically any device.

when you run the program in the first step you need to enter 123(password) and press enter, F4 for next option in the menu and F3 for Previous Option in the menu.

If you are not using EXP4040 but connects the MD-HMI directly to the PLC's expansion board, then your PLC DOES NOT HAVE INPUT from #33 - 256 and DOES NOT HAVE OUTPUT from #25 to 256.  So obviously your program cannot work. In the simulator it is assumed you have all the inputs and output space but on the PLC the actual number of I/Os depends on how many expansion board you have.

We have downloaded your program to our PLC with 2 EXP4040 and 1 MD-HMI. When the MD-HMI key is pressed the input #97 to #112 will light up when we watch on the online monitoring screen. We put a test program and it recognizes these inputs so there is no problem with the MD-HMI connected to the higher address space
