    Take a look at using the jumps found under the jumps and links tab on your HMI

    If you are connecting directly to a PC are you using a cross over cable?? Typically you need a patch or straight thru cable to go between the PLC and AP. Not knowing which AP you a using I can't really comment on how they function, but yes it is possible to do what you want. I always prefer a wired connection for industrial applications or industrial Wi-Fi access points. There's always noise and if your using home or business APs they can get lost.

    Two things to try. 1) With your project open Project -> System Images Change an image and then click on Restore all to defaults Download the project. 2)If the system images don't fix it then Add a font into the font handler and download your project again.

    Peter in your hardware config did you set the High Speed Inputs up as a shaft encoder?

    Or if you have made lots of program changes with multiple down loads try downloading a blank program into the unit, reboot it and then put your program back in.

    You should be able to sonlong as the con port itself isn’t damaged in any way. The programming cable should allow you to communicate on either port 1 or port 2 on the plc with out changing a setting on the PC just simply unplug from port 2 and plug into port 1(so long as the rs 232 com settings are the same)

    As Flex said the ASCII is store with to characters per MI, To test go online and change the data type to HEX and insert 3333 in to MI120 and 3636 in to MI 121 You should see 3366 on the display If you dont check the String pattern and make sure it's long enough to display what your trying to show.

    Did you us a direct coil more than once for that output? Or is the output ina subroutine which is not being called?

    Is there a space on the end of one of the names?

    Look at the pwm output in the help file. Frewquncy and duty cycle can be controlled by push buttons you adding on the HMI

    Check with your local distributor, however most often the screen is not replaceable and you will have to replace the PLC.

    I've seen it a couple of times. Clean the log files out and remove them, the error will go away but I've never been able to find a root cause. I suspect a memory leak in windows but have never had the time to track it down.

    For some HTL outputs external diodes are required in order to make them operate and replace a NPN or PNP output. Also worth noting that your output voltage is typically your min supply voltage -3V are you still meeting the min voltage for a logical high?

    Why not run 2 timers using the socket connected SB? Timer 1 monitors how long a socket is connected for if it becomes to long close the connection and re-initialize the socket Timer 2 monitors how long between connections if it times out re-initialize the socket. I'm not sure you need to re-boot the PLC just re-initializing the socket should clear up the issue.

    Joe's solution is better than mine.

    When selecting keypad entry on a numeric variable you can select the key board type displayed here. If you click on the magnifying glass you can get a preview. I don't believe you can access the info mode keypad on a variable entry.

    I had to do this a few years ago and couldn't find a way to do with the string. I finally added and extra column into the data table which was a MI and searched for it. 0 Meant that it had an empty string field 1 meant that the string field had data in it. You'll have to make sure that when you get a new PLC you write a blank DT into it as often there is garbage in the DT which will mess with the above solution.

    1) I can't think of a way to do this 2) You 'd have to separate the string in to MI's as separate ASCII characters and then recompile it back together with out the spaces.

    LOL.

    Take a look at the following you may require some extra diodes to make it function. https://www.posital.com/en/products/communication-interface/incremental/incremental-encoders.php

    To clarify the part number for the Ethernet card is V200-18-ET2 or V100-17-ET
  22. Cam
    Which Model Samba do you have some of the don't have a native RS232 port (only the SM35 does) the SM43 and SM70 program via USB and the serial port is an additional card which must be added. If you already have an Ethernet card installed you aren't able to add the serial port. GSM-KIT-17J-3G would be the kit required for a Samba. The 16J kit was for UniStream only I believe, and I don't believe it's available any more.
  23. Cam
    Yes you will require a SIM card. If you have an Ethernet card already installed why not send emails rather than text msgs?
  24. Cam
    You should also break you bet 19 and 20 up so that 19 becomes 2 nets and 20 becomes 3 separate nets
  25. Cam
    the 3.5" samba has a native rs232 port it doesn't have RS485 though. You would have to add the v100-17-RS4 to get that. The SM43 and SM70. Do not have a native com port so you would have to add the RS4 in order to have either RS232 Or RS485.
