Boss and I were talking and we have a customer that may want to use a plc as both a master to a temperature controller and a slave to another display/plc. Hypothetical at this point, but can I use a vision plc as both master and a slave? Desire would be to do RTU (RS485) at this point but IP might be possible. Thanx Allan

Ok, I can see that I might be going down a dead end here, maybe someone can help. I can see where if I use the function load DTI from file, I can load am indexed DT table. Assuming the operator does not know what the list of files that the management has given him, how can I get a list of udtf files that are on the SD card for him to choose from ? I see the File Selector Browser, but it returns all files in the DT directory for selection. If I use the Store DTI to File, I must use a 1 for Parameter F creating all files. Then the operator will get csv, et al. listed in his file sel

Thank you for responding. Can you be a little more specific for the recipe example. I am trying to use the Data Tables Recipes function in the Solution Explorer. I can see where it creates recipes from xls files. However what I am stuck on is the ladder function Load DTI from Recipe File. There seem to be 2 issues that I am having: If I put that behind a P transition contact, without triggering it, the status seems to gravitate to a -35. Triggering the Contact in front of it seems to do nothing. Parameter C of the Load DTI from Recipe File is a fixed value. In order to have

Is there an example or tutorial somewhere on how to use the Recipe Function. I'm trying to setup a bench test to understand it and I'm currently lost. Thanx Allan

Ok I was finally able to send email to my local exchange server account using my local exchange server. Without getting into details, my problem was in the settings that I used in specifying the Account. A logfile would have saved me a lot of effort. The following link was instrumental in digging out the answers: Microsoft : Use Telnet to test SMTP communication on Exchange Servers Yea!

OK Fixed my problem with the DNS Resolver by replacing the #"microsoft.com" with a string tagname. I now can resolve the host name to an ip address using both my local dns server and google. Cannot yet get emails to work though. arrggh. Allan

OK So the plot thickens. I put a DNS Resolver ladder function in front of the Send Email function and no matter what hostname I put in, I tried remote.icsxxxxx.com and microsoft.com, I get a response of 9 no reply from server. For DNS Settings I have: 192.168.16.4 (from my pc) 8.8.8.8 I assume the no reply from server is from the DNS server, so if I can communicate to the panel via ftp, etc... why can I not talk to a DNS server. Allan

Ok so the panel is hooked up on my in-house network I assigned a static address of 192.168.16.99. I can ping the panel. I configured the Panel as a FTP server and I can use command line FTP and FileZilla to access the files. I configured the Panel as a VNC Server and loaded Real VNC Viewer on my pc and I can view the panel.... However ... When I try to configure email I get a -1 status back. I tried 2 accounts, one using my inhouse exchange server and 1 using gmail and I cannot send any email using either accounts to my local email address. Are there any log files or any debugging informa

Trying to use a wildcard in SD Delete function (Timer1.udtf.*) . I can correctly delete the specific files(Timer1.udtf.sig) , but once I add on an * for a wild card, I get an illegal filename. How can I use a wildcard in the filename ? Thanx Allan
