Hello All, I have 6 V130 's as slaves connected Modbus IP reporting to a C-more HMI as the master. Each V130 sends a vector of 6 MI's to the HMI reporting temperatures from T/C's on heaters. This is working flawless. My next step is to also send some Data from MB's. I am uncertain of best way to do this. Would it be wise to add one more MI to my vector and use Store Direct for the desired MB as a BCD value? How do I convert the MB's to MI's for Modbus IP?

Thanks for the unambiguous feedback Joe T. I downloaded and ran the attached still dont see SB 149 active for the connection. I've done an initialize and reset command and even placed TCP/IP initialize FB for the sockets 0 and 3 in case of overlap from my previous edits and still no connection. The IP Address of the C-More is 192.168.0.10 and I entered this in the Modbus Config FB in the column where the slaves are listed. Unsure if this is correct? I understand that the C-more acts as the master in this scheme . Can you take a look and see where else may be causing connection issues? OrSolder36_Dial_G1_DutyCycleModbusIP_JT.vlp

Before I attempt to transmit data from the V130 to the C-More HMI, I need to establish communication between the two. TCP/IP is a hand shake protocol . Now using socket 3 ,P 502 and only being concerned with the TCP/IP Connect FB, I've taken out the configure TCP/IP FB. I am not able to to get SB150 to be active. I'm thinking that it may have to do with the PLC slave number. I have tried 0, 1 and even 255 as illustrated in the screen shot above. Looking at Automation Directs customer forum I see there are issues with C-more and Modicon Modbus TCP/IP protocol . Can anyone tell me how to determine the V130 slave number aside from guessing? I see the Set network ID FB is there a set slave ID type of FB?

Hello, After 2 days of researching an trying , with no success, to setup a communication with a V130 and a C-More HMI via Modbus TCP/IP , Its time I ask for help. Eventually I will need to connect 6 V130's to the HMI but I can't seem to get the first V130 to communicate. As I read in some other topics , I will use to this Socket 3 ,port 502 as the C-More is a 3rd party device. I am using Socket 1 for the PC Programming port and it is communicating. Not sure to use The V130 as a slave or a master. I tried both ways to no avail. Attached is a copy of the project. I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Also, I am pasting a screen shot of the C-more Com setup. OrSolder36_Dial_G1_DutyCycleModbusIP.vlp

I need to have some safeguards in place for the case of an open TC. When the Thermocouple is unplugged the HSO is driven 100%. I see an red indicator appear on the IO-ATC8 . Is this reported to the control in a SB or do I need to write a net and do a range comparison with upper and lower limits?

Thanks for the tips. I unknowingly downloaded this BETA version. I recently upgraded my laptop and the IT department here where I work loaded the program. I will now request the non BETA version. I realize that I do not need to run an auto-tune on every startup. The Auto tune did a good calculation for parameters to run at 300 degree F but when i raised to the desired 800 F It needs to be re-tuned. The A tune wont seem to help for the higher temp. The temperature overshoots 10- 17 degrees. What is the best method for correcting overshoot on a PID loop? any thoughts?

I see that you are able to view all the HSO settings. I am using V 9.8.79 Build 0 BETA. Should I try the last not beta version ? What version is the one from in the screen shot above.? I cant move scroll bar any lower. See pic.

For troubleshooting I find it most convenient to have all the PID configuration blocks all tied together on top of the main Ladder routine. I am unable to view the HSO in hardware configuration for beyond Output5. The spin button does not cycle this low. The only way I was able to enter the values was to start at O5 and enter the data moving toward O1- O0. Is there another window to maximize the entry fields? I think I may have doubled some MI's. Other than this I am having success, i was able to perform an Atune on one of my loops now I am trying to set the program up to run all 6 loops at startup and also have an option to one a separate A-tune as needed.

"first scan" I was referring to SB2 for the config blocks. I am writing the program now and am sure to have more questions as I get further along. Thanks for the input.

I have an application where I will run 6 separate PID Heating loops with a Vision series V130-33-T2 controller. I have watched and understand the tutorial listed for setting up the PID parameters in regard to Autotune FB's. My question, what is the best practice for running A-tune on multiple loops? Should each have its own sub program? How can be accomplished on the first scan? I have searched and found only single loop examples. Can someone please point me in the right direction.

I have successfully created a shift register using the suggested Si87, SI88 and SB87, SB88 method after the MB to MI conversion. For now I am only using 16 bits for the shift. My next question is . How can I synchronize my Bit Sift (MB's) with ( MI's)? I have a revolving 36 station tester and I would like to record how many times each station has a reject. I will assign each station to a MI. This will allow me to flag stations that have excessive rejects. At this point I have assigned an MI for the current station.

The bit shift is going to be used to track cans that are conveyed at a speed of 150 cans a minute. At that rate using the suggested method may not be accurate. Does the Jazz support vector copy instruction? If not, which OPLC would be suitable for this application? I plan to populate the bit shift register with cans that fail an inspection and point to the bit with a sensor at the reject chute to verify the can was discarded.
