["Invalid procedure or argument" when I try to communicate with JZ20-R31]

Good news from Microsoft!
 

 

Thank you! Was loosing my mind trying to figure this out.

Not really a solution to the problem, but perhaps a workable patch - you can initialize the values for power-up in the MI. Instead of running the function of restoring defaults, it'll load them up automatically. Will not help if the data is overwritten, but if that is the case, you'll have additional information to troubleshoot with and know it's not power issue.

One more thing to note, trivial but might get overlooked - check what port the PC has recognized the connection as and then select the same port in the "Controller" menu and "Operating system" For me it is usually 8, 9 or 6. Then click at the bottom to check O/S to verify communication. Cheers!

One more thing that I was surprised to uncover is just how much memory HMI variables with lists of texts take. If your project has something akin to page of alarms history, you might want to really reduce the number of possible line entries. I had a machine with status text line on main screen and 8 more lines in history screen. Measly 30 lines of ~35 symbols each. Had to go down to 5 in the history screen for project to fit in memory (specifically in HMI variables allocated memory, by project memory usage map).

Also, if you are changing resolutions and have to resize images, stock or imported, change them after resizing to any other image and back to the original image. I found this helpful, otherwise the scaled image looks really bad.

Interesting! Have you confirmed the STL is correctly encoded for this type of structure?

I haven't done any digging into internal encoding, just decided I needed lots of conditions in parallel while sequential inverses in series wouldn't work and tried this layout. It has been compiling without errors and I have been using this structure for about a year over about 20 machines or so I programmed, so apparent functionality might (?) be confirmation enough...

I do realize that apparent functionality might be a temporary phenomenon, if it was due to a coincidence and coincidental base changes.

Added my most common use for this structure - detecting pistons in motion.

Great news, but twice as tall (or 50% taller) is what I need more. I have regular need for 12 contacts in parallel and constantly breaking them into two sets of six is a pain. 

If those are just single contacts and not really complex structures of them, I use this type of ordering them:

You can easily combine several contacts in one parallel rung, but it does get fairly messy fairly quick...

Good luck!

[Extracting items from "List of texts by pointer"]

Greetings!

I am very interested in a way to extract to buffer or export to any text file type of the contents of this type of variable.

I have a very long list of texts and though I know I can click on each line of it in turn --> select all in the tiny text edit window --> right-click --> copy

to then paste into wherever I want, I would like to find a more bulk approach to save really significant amount of time.

There is an option to export to Excell from "Strings Library", but in my case this is stored as "Constant String"...

Currently on V1210, but same question applies to V700

Regards,

E.C.

 

P.S. What does "open IME" option do if I right-click on the text editor window? I can open and close it, but see no effect.
