  1. Hi,

    I now have my Remote I/O module connected and communicating correctly but I now have an issue with the Analog Input module. I have some 4-20mA transmitters wired up to the inputs but the LEDs are all blinking. The manual suggests that it is because the field power is no connected. This is correct as the device is powered from another 24V supply.

    Any ideas? Any helps is greatly appreciated.

    Cheers,

    Adam

  2. Hi Cam,

    you have cracked it. Thanks for your help. Here are all the answers in case this helps someone else.

    1. I did it from the cmd prompt with all 4 packets received. Just tried there with the uniapps and got a tick so I guess that was successful?

    2. I had the panel IP and and CPU IP set the same. Changed this and all green lights and status 6.

    3. It is an isolated network.

    4. I set the IP using the BOOTP server in unilogic with the no.9 dip switch.

  3. I removed and replaced the module with no luck. I am fairly sure that they are in correctly.

    In the URB Remote I/O Adaptor structure the Operational State is 0 so I guess that is where the problem lies. The only variable that is a 1, is the Enable bit.

    Communication Error Code is 0, IP address is as expected.

    I looked through the help file on the Operational State but couldn't find anything to help resolve it.

  4. Hi,

    I have recently installed a URB-TCP expansion module into an existing system. My issue is that the MOD light is FLASHING RED and my IOS light is FULL RED.

    Connected, I have a DO08CH URD-0008CH in slot 1 and a  AI08O URA-0800O 8 Analog Current Inputs, 10 RTB in slot 2. The AI08O has all 8 LEDs flashing green.

    I can ping the module so I think it is communicating  OK.

    Any help or info would be great. Let me know if you need any more information.

     

    Cheers,

    No. Disabled rungs are not compiled. 

     

    You seem uncertain. There is a search function to make sure.

    I am aware of the search function. I did not have the software in front of me at the time of the post.

    I can now confirm that there are no other instances of the "float_start_command" and got it working by changing the contacts back to regular ones as opposed to the transition contacts.

    Not sure why it wasn't working in the UDFB but I will play around with it and see if I can figure out what was going wrong now that I have something that works.

     

    Thanks for your help.

    Yes, that is correct.

     

    Moved, or copied? Make sure that coil does not exist anywhere else in the program.

    Copied it then changed the tags and deleted the copied function in/out and local tags it created. Does this not work? I don't believe that there are any other instances of the "float_start_command" tag except for what you have in the screen shot but will confirm tonight.

    Good advice Flex. If the "float_start_command" bit has a reset coil somewhere else in the program it will interfere. One instance of a coil (RLO or S&R) per tag, per program! 

    Is there any special reason you put float switch latching logic into a UDFB? Is it something you are reusing in the program for multiple tanks? I was not aware function in tags would not allow transitional contacts. 

    As above I will confirm they are the only instances but I am fairly certain they are.

    Yes, the UDFBs don't allow transition contacts for some reason. Thee is no special reason for putting it in a UDFB as I only use it once. But I thought I may use it again in the future and it makes the code a bit neater. 

  7. Hi guys,

    Thanks for the response. I couldn't set them as transition contacts as they are "function in" tags. I moved it to the main ladder and still doesn't seem to work. the set coil will not go high now? I don't quite understand how the set/reset coils work. the documentation states: 

    "Set Coil separates the coil from the action or condition that energized the coil. Once energized, a set coil's result is no longer dependent on the action that energized it."

    Surely only the reset coil can unlatch it?

    Also, the networks are back on separate rungs. Was just trying everything to get it to work.

    It is working for me.

    I've set From and To year to be 2017, and I've set 1 on the correct month (You can set 1 for several months and Days. It is a boolean map which returns true if nothing is set, or when something is set and it matches the day/month).

     

    Thanks for the reply.

    That is what I have I think. Can I upload something to show you what I have? Or can you send me the working example so I can see what going wrong?

  9. Hi,
    What I want to do set and on and off time and date (which are on different dates) but can only get it to work with the time, not the date.

    I can get it to work using the "From Hour" and "To Hour" tags but I cant get it to work with the "Month" or "Day of the "Month" tags. I'm not sure of the format, I have been trying to write to them from a RTC Date variable using the array functions and a Date input from the HMI which seems to be working but the "Schedule" function doesn't seem to use the information.

    I have "2017" written to the "From Year" and "To Year".

    Any help would be great.
