Hi,
Yesterday I started over from scratch and the missing Outputs are now working so previously I probably made some silly mistake in the Unistream program.
@Ausman : connecting the 1210 again is not really an option but now we can be sure all the modules are working .
My initial suspicion that I used some wrong parameter in the UniCan was probably because I am not familiar to use it.
@Joe: So I would greatly appreciate (and also for the benefit of the forum) a quick look at my EX-RC1 program:
- Since I have the EX-RC1 attached to 1 io-d16a3-ro16, 4 io-di8-ro8 and 1 io-ai8 , I started with the file in "Examples\Version 900\Project examples\Communications\EX-RC1\EX-RC1 With Analog\EX-RC1 with ATC8"
- I then edited the hardware configuration to suit my modules.
- Digital inputs and outputs just have a option to add a description but my doubts appeared with the analog inputs: what addresses should I use? (in my initial problem I thought that something might have been overlapping)
- So I kept the addresses of the example (1900 .. 1907) and added the 3 analog inputs of the io-d16a3-ro16 in addresses 1908 .. 1910. I think it is working but is this the correct way to do it?
- I followed the PLC Training: Remote I/Os via EX-RC1 | UniLogic for UniStream by Unitronics video and my next doubt was in the UniCAN Send parameters: I had to change the example file to 1016 Source Start Address ( is this determined by "Rx Start Vector" in UniLogic program?)
- Another question I have is what is the objective (or differences) of rung 7 and 8 in the IN module of the example since I can connect with my IOs just using rung 8? (or should I be using rung 7 instead?) I see that the UniCAN Send parameters are different ...
- At this time the UniStream program is just exposing the Inputs and controlling the Outputs.
I appreciate some insight about these topics so I can leave everything running smoothly and be better prepared for other UniCAN applications.
Kind regards,
JT
