  1. Filling batches and reseting batches

    in Vision & Samba PLC + HMI Controllers & VisiLogic Software

    Posted

    So I have wrote a program  that we use on our conveyor for sorting tubing.  We get a good/bad signal from a gauge, then use this to tell the conveyor when to blow a part into the conveyor.  So the program works well for what we need, but I have found an issue when we started using it.  I want to fill batch 1, then start to fill batch 2.  When I am filling batch 2 I pull the parts and reset the part count on batch 1 to 0, well when I do this is starts counting again in batch 1.  looking at my program this is exactly how I wrote it.  I went to solve this issue today,  and I cant seem to come up with how to get it to fill batch 1 until its full, switch to batch 2 and not stop filling on batch 2 until it's full.  Then when its full it goes back to see if batch 1 if full still, if not then it will start filling that again.  its coming clearer now that I try to explain it here.  

     

    Thanks

  3. Cant save a file without visilogic crashing

    in Vision & Samba PLC + HMI Controllers & VisiLogic Software

    Posted

    So this started the other day, I tried to upload a file that I had saved, to this forum.  When I tried to open the folder the file was in, it just closed the entire my documents folder and exited to the desktop.  Then I tried to save the program to another location and when I hit save as, it would open the file explores, circles while waiting about 10 seconds, and then close visilogic and exit to desktop.  This was with .79.  So I uninstalled .79, and reloaded .65, its been twice now.  I still cannot save a file.  I can start a new project, do one line of code, go to save and it closes visilogic and exits to desktop.  I need this to work on this computer, it did and now it wont.

     

    any help is appreciated.

  4. Time Delay not-correct

    Ausman,  I don't know about installing as admin, but I think I need to know.  I have uninstalled twice and it still just closes visilogic and exits to windows every time I try to save.  This is .65.  Any help is appreciated.

     

    Ok found the admin, still does it.  this is terrible, cant even use the PLCs I got.  Maybe I need to reboot the computer, but man that's a lot to figure out why this is crashing.

     

    ill let you know and hopefully post a program sometime.

     

    thanks

    ausman, Flex727.  It got it working using SB15, pulse on rise.  Exactly what I needed.  I would post the file, but it shuts downs visilogic everytime I try to save,  Soon as it brings up the file folder it shuts down.  I was able to download to my PLC and try it, but cant save it.  I think it may be my laptop.  I also uninstalled .79 and installed .65.  Hopefully I can get it posted.

     

    thanks again

    That a bummer.  I am getting a little upset with Visilogic night, besides what you wrote.  I made a folder to save my files in on my documents and I cannot even open the folder anymore,  When I try to save my program with save as, it crashes the filed folder.  And now you tell me this, upsetting.  here is the photos of what I got.  If need be,  I will delete this and reload the over version if I can.  I don't have anything worth keeping.

     

    Thanks much

    So I posted before and was completely green, now I am a shade different green.  So I am writing a program to control my conveyor.  It takes a good part signal from the puller, then I want it to wait a certain time that the user inputs and then activate a digital output so that it will then fire a blow off via relay and blow my tubes into a catch tray.  I got everything working pretty good for my first program, and I could probably rig this to make the blow off work as I want, but I want to know why its not counting at the 100mS rate I think it should be counting at per the SB.  Please, I am very new at this, very new, so there is probably a much better way to do this, but  this is how I got it working.  Any suggestions for making this better, let me know.  I am loving this stuff.  The other items in the program are for setting a batch limit and then when the blow off hits that limit, it will stop blowing.  Eventually gonna add a second blow off for another position, but you gotta roll over before you crawl.

  11. Testing plug in I/O

    in Vision & Samba PLC + HMI Controllers & VisiLogic Software

    Posted

    So I am completely new to PLCs and HMI, but I am engineer, so I think I should be able to figure this out.  So either I have completely missed something or the snap in I/O I bought is not good.

    I am using 570 with V200-18-E3XB.  All I want to do it put a analog voltage out to V0 and read it on my volt meter.  

    I would post the 3 lines of codeI have, but don't know how.  So I have AO 0 as 0-10V with tag MI0 on the snap in setup.  I then linearize a 0-10000 scale to 0-4095 bits and label this as MI0.  On the HMI i have output bit and voltage scaled and displayed correctly, but then there is nothing actually at AO0 and AO com.  Shouldn't I have voltage here.  hopefully I missed something and this snap in is not broken.

     

    Thanks
