  1. Thankyou for your replies, I have started trying to figure out how Im going to code this. I dont program every day so its a continual relarning process when I do. Does anybody know of an exaple program somewhere with similar functionality that I could refer to? I looked through the included exaples but I didnt really see anything that fit the bill. Thanks
  2. I am using a V570 with a V200-18-E3/4XB snap in and a pt100 rtd on analog input 0. It is up in running, but I would like to make a config screen with the user option of selecting celcius or farenheit for all of the temperature functions. I noticed on the hardware config screen there is a dropdown in the mode field to select C or F, but how would I go about making this selectable from the touchscreen while its running? Thanks
  3. Thanks! That did the trick, I have never needed to do that before, I wonder what made this situation different? Steve
  4. Hello, I seem to be having problems viewing one of my screens using Remote Operator, as well as remote access. I don't have any compilation errors, but it seems to have something to do with my "range of images" variable. Everything works great on the PLC just not remotely. I built a similar machine about a year ago with out issue, Ive compared the code and I don't see where I'm missing it? Ive tried different images out of the images library with the same results. Also when the variable changes color on the PLC screen, there is no change remotely. I'm a noob at this so hopefully its something obvious. Below is a screenshot Thanks
  5. Ive started adding this function to my program using the sample you gave me as a template, but I have a question about MB 4000, I noticed that you have it linked to the save button, but when in live mode, as I change the ip address on the plc screen it instantly chages in wichever MI I happen to be entering, when I turn off the 570 and turn it back on the values haven't changed. Is a save button really necessary? I guess I am unclear as to what MB 4000 is actually doing. Thanks
  6. What I am trying to do is make a config screen within my program to allow an end user to change the IP, Sub-net and Gateway settings. Up until now I have all of that set on the first rung using the plc name and tcp/ip init FB and I just enter the customer supplied parameters. This is great if the customer never wants to change things on their network but becomes a pain if they do. I noticed that there is an option under ip,sub and gateway to pull the parameter from a MI location, My question is, what HMI module do I use to enter ip, sub,and gateway? Is there any additional ladder code involved? Thanks
  7. I need to communicate with a V570 via scada software (DAQ Factory) I have tried using Uniopc and am able to connect to the server from the client, but I can see and data. I have read that modbus is a common way to communicate between plcs and scada software, but are they used simultaneously? I know very little about this so please be merciful.
