Hi EduMarg, Thanks for reply. I tried to find in the manual how to convert the vectors of the MB to MI. It is something as MB1=1 -> MI1=00000001 or MB2=0 -> MI2=00000000 ? Could be a silly question, but I am not sure about Visilogic philosophy ... Cheers, Marius

Hi guys, I tried to do a logic for some MBs such us: If MB01=1 AND MB02=1 then MB03=1 Else MB03=0 End If I've found the AND, OR and XOR gates in the Logic menu, but looks like these gates don't accepts as input the MBs (just MI, XI, ML, etc). There is a reason for not accepting MBs as inputs? There is any option to have these gates for MBs? Cheers for help, Marius

Hi guys, I need a little help with the email configuration. What I have done: - Initialised a TCP/IP socket 3 when the PLC starts: SB2-Power-up bit>PLCName:V1210>TCP/IPCardInit (with a local IP address)>TCP/IP Socket Init (Socket 3, Protocol: TCP, Local Port D#-20256) - Used a MB100 (Connect to server) to try to connect to the remote server. The net looks like: MB100 ON>SB142 (Ethernet Card Initialised) ON > SB151 (Ethernet Status Link) ON > SB146 (Ethernet Socket Initialised) ON > SB150 (Ethernet Socket 3 Connected) OFF The TCP/IP: TCP Connect function block is configured as follows: - Socket : Socket 3 - Remote IP: 203.12.160.34 (my email server IP) - Remote Port: 25 If I am connecting through telnet to 203.12.160.34 (telnet 203.12.160.34 25 in cmd) I get the following message: 220 mail.tpg.com.au ESMTP (mail15) Sendmail ready. Not sure why in Visilogic the SB150 is OFF, telling me that there is no connection to the remote server (203.12.160.34:25), but I can go to this address via telnet. Any idea would be much appreciated Cheers, Marius

Hi cantcliff, Thank you very much, works perfectly. Appreciate your help. Marius

Hi Eyal, Thanks for reply. It is working perfectly. Cheers, Marius

Hi cantcliff, Thanks for reply. I am not too familiar with ladder. Could you please put a small example? Cheers, Marius

Hi Eyal, Thanks for reply. The SB3 is doing exactly what I need. But still I have an issue. I need something like: If O1=1 Then MB1 = SB3 End If and in the HMI I can assign the image (that I want to blink) to the MB1 (which will blink when O1=1) Not sure how to transfer this from structured text to ladder ... Thanks for help, Marius

Hi, There is any option to have a timer showed on the HMI? Basically I need to see for example TD1 (which is 3 minutes) on the HMI decreasing to 0. Cheers, Marius

Hi, There is any option in Visilogic to have a image blinking when an MB is 1? Basically I need to have a led that blinks when an operation is running. Cheers, Marius

Hi Arnie, Do you have any drawings on how to do the housing ? I would like to build one for myself as I looked after a housing on market and I did not find any decent one. Please could you post them here, or send my email to marcus.bratu@gmail.com? Thanks, and appreciate your help, Marius

I am trying to make a comparison between an analogue input value (MI) and a constant (10) using the "Greater than" function block. So, normally if the MI > than 10 then a MB become true. Looks like the comparison function block works (became red) in the Online test, but is not passing the value to the MB (the MB value stays black). I am using the function block as it is described in the Visilogic - Ladder Programming manual (attached the section from the manual). What I am doing wrong? Cheers

All right. The issue is solved. Issue: How to "pulse" an Output Oxx by pressing/releasing a Button on the HMI. Solution: The steps are as follow: - create a Button on the HMI - assign a MBxx to the Button - create the logic in the ladder: a direct contact assigned to MBxx linked to a Coil assigned to the Output Oxx (the output that you want to "pulse"). That's it. Works. Thanks guys for your help !

Hi mate, I tried your program, unfortunately without my expected results (to pulse the physical output from IO-D16A3-T016 module). Attached is a sample of the program in which I have used your advice and has inside some comments. This is exactly what I need: Quote: "the pulse to be generated when the button is pressed and released" I tried this (from your program) without success. Any help is greatly appreciated. pulse_output.vlp

Hi guys, I need a button on the HMI display which will "pulse" an output (from an IO-D16A3-TO16 module) when is pressed/released. I know that it is possible by assigning a MB to that button, continue with a set coil, and after that a reset coil assigned to the output, but I could not find how to proper program the ladder. There is any example showed somewhere? I looked after a solution on forum, but I could not find something that could suit my need. If it is explained somewhere, I would kindly ask to post the link here. Any help would be greatly appreciated (and if is explained for dummies would be wonderful). Thanks

Thanks for your answer. Is exactly what I was thinking, but my issue is that I am not able to put this expression in a ladder. I tried to put a button on HMI, I assigned a (mouse click) MB30, I continued in the net with a timer (Store>Load TimerCounter Preset), and finished with a coil (for Output), but nothing. There is a tool somewhere to debug the code line by line? Basically to see the output for the ladder ... As I said in my previous post, with the Toggle option, I can assert the Output, but I have to press again the button to deassert the output, which is not exactly what I need. Any help is much appreciated. Cheers, Marius

Hi guys, I understood how can I latch an output. It is very easy with the Toggle option in VIsilogic. Now, my issue is on how to "pulse" an output. Using the toggle option I can not reset the latch ... Basically I need a button on the HMI display which will "pulse" an output when is pressed for 100ms. I know that it is possible by using a set coil after that a timer(100ms) and after that a reset coil for the output, but I could not find how to proper program the ladder. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi guys, I am trying to show the system time (V1210) on the HMI screen. I tried the example from the VisiLogic (V120_RTC_real_time_clock_ASCII.vlp) but does not work. There is any sample that I can use to show the PLC time (such as: System Time: 09:10:00, System Date: 31 July 2014) on the screen? Cheers, Marius
