Hello All, I apologize for the VERY basic questions I am about to ask but I am new to using a PLC to control a stepper motor. I have the drive and motor. I read the information included in Visilogic. I am still confused. I hate to ask but can someone please provide me with basic program to control the stepper drive. I want to provide an RPM and FWD/REV bit. I will answer any questions and will be monitoring this thread constantly over the next few days. Thank you in advance. Again, I apologize for such basic information but once I have a decent example I should be able to pick it apart and understand things.

Basically I have the Function keys set to quick information display screens (for example F1 shows motor info, F2 shows reservoir level, etc, etc ..). Also, in my program, the ESC button is basically a 'back' button like one on a current smartphone. I want the user to be able to pull up one of the quick info screens and get right back to what they were doing before. I'm sure my explanation is horrible. My real question is... how do I exclude a group of HMIs from the "Load Last HMI Display" list on a V350?

Using a V350. Quick scenario: F1 jumps to HMI 100 F2 jumps to HMI 101 F3 jumps to HMI 102 F4 jumps to HMI 103 ESC jumps to previous screen/HMI You are the user. You are viewing HMI 5. You press F1 and go to HMI 100. You press F2 and go to HMI 101. You press F3 and go to HMI 102. Now from here, I want pressing ESC and go back to HMI 5. I want HMI 100, 101, 102 and 103 to be completely ignored in the screen load order list. How do I go about doing this?

Need Project Help

I am using a V130 and my scan time says 2mS so I am just recording every scan. I am hoping to catch a pressure increase as the flight of a screw rotates in front of an injection port, which at 60rpm looks to be around 100mS so we are hoping to catch some good numbers "over time" which is why we want to grab so many samples. -
I am trying to create a project and I am running into a few roadblocks. I need to record a pressure every 2mS and record it to the SD card. I have a 16GB card so I should be able to record a ton of data, all I need to record is a 4-digit MI value. My problem is writing the data to the SD card. What is the best way to do this? Currently I am trying to do it in pulses. Step 1) for the first 5sec I record my value every 2mS with an indirect store. Step 2) for the next 25sec I want to write this vector of values to the SD card. Step 3) Rinse and repeat. What would be the best way to record tthe vector to the SD card?

I am using a V570 with a V200-18-E3XB and I have an analog input that is constantly reading 32767. 1) The hardware configuration is set in the program to 0-20mA 2) The jumpers are set to Current input 3) I check the input to the PLC and I see .9-24mA What am I doing wrong, where should I be looking to solve this problem?
