The number of rows are fixed. You can use empty rows set with zeroes, so you can use "datatable find" tool to get last row with valid data.

Check on help files, searching battery back-up. There´s a topic explaining this behavior

OPLC: V570 Visilogic: 9.7.47 Hello all. I want to show a small pop-up window for START/STOP buttons in such way I have a single place to control several motors. Such pop-up window must be hidden all time except when a singular motor is selected on HMI and close it again when operator pushes any button. I´ve tried using frames and buttons inside it, but cannot find a way to hide the frame. By now, I´m using Bitmap object as lower layer acting as a frame; Range of Text Images to show motor name, acting as frame title; and a couple of buttons, all above objects with hide bit. Any other idea or suggestion?

Cara, I prefer Modbus either over RS485 or Ethernet, also UniCAN for remote I/O. I would like having Ethernet/IP in Unitronics products

So, Why two wire connection is shown in V200-18-E3XB manual if is not supported?

To wire several EX-RC1 and a Vision controller, it should be a "daisy chain" or may I use a star topology?. In last case, which modules should be terminated?

As the PLC doesn´t run ladder simultaneously, you may use a single subroutine to execute common task passing variables to it as needed and then returning results from it. I´ve used indirect addressing to do so. As Joe mentioned, there is such useful tool to search/replace. In previous visilogic versions, it did not replace operands inside some FB, but guess it´s fixed on current version.

I´ve used UDP instead of TCP. This way I only need one single socket and connect/disconnect has not to be performed.

It looks appropriate to me. I´m uncertain about then best VR choice, I would choose at least 3 times source voltage.

You mentioned 2 MIs are whole number, so you must convert those 2 MI to one ML. You may use COPY MEMORY or STRUCT functions.

After some testing, I found the problem. Both IN parameters (Start of vector and Max vector length) must be ML. Previously I used MI for max vector length and ML for start of vector.

I am having trouble creating CSV file containing ML values. All values greater than 65535 are truncated to just the lower word, e.g 150000 (hex 249F0) is saved as 18928 (hex 49F0). Any idea, or is a normal behaviour?

Alexander, I just update firmware and now mask work as you mentioned. Original: O/S 3.6 (14), BOOT 2.2 (09), BinLib 1-1.10 (01), Factory Boot 1.3 (07) New: O/S 3.8 (02), BOOT 2.2 (11), BinLib 1-1.10 (01), Factory Boot 1.3 (07)

I have one V570 on my desk, so doing tests directly with it.

It´s not working for my application as you described (V570, Visilogic 9.6.0). I do not notice any difference checking or unchecking this option

In numeric variable, What "mask entry" is used for? A couple of suggestions for creators, regarding numeric variables: 1. An option to "group" digits for display purposes. Large numbers may be difficult to read without such option,i.e 9876543.21 displayed as 9,876,543.21 2. Option to show entry limits in keypad, so the user is aware about them.

Use "Load HMI display" function (Under Utils|HMI) connected to SB2.

Matteo, as it is UDP instead of TCP, does not need connect block to stablish comms. If Yaskawa specifically needs TCP, so you need connect to remote IP and port (Checking Ethernet card and socket are initialized) prior trying to get info from slave using any of modbus ip functions. Did you tried modbus ip master example included in Visilogic?

See attached file. It´s the way I communicate with MODBUS IP slaves to get data from them MODBUS_IP_YASKAWA.vlp

You could try MODBUS IP function read/write from/to data tables

Double check: - Net ID config on both sides: OPLC (Using power-up bit to set ID) and EX-RC1 via switches. - Comms parameters: comm port, baudrate and so on, both sides too. - Make sure address switch is firmly selected. I had a similar problem long time ago, just moved switches back and forth, and everything worked fine.

I´ve used GF Signet flowmeter with Jazz and used K factor multiplied by 100 or 1000. For instance, if meter gives 15.43 pulses/litre, I use 1543. This way I obtain a value in litre x 100.

I have had similar issue writing files from SD Card Explorer while PLC (V1210) is writing csv files or sending email. So, I disable that portion of logic on PLC prior writing files from PC.

R16, R16-V, R16L, all of them appear in documentation files and clearly defines analog input differences, however I only see R16 in webpage. Suggestion for web administrators: Update web page information, as well as comparison tables. I use to get info from there to define which device fits my requirements

Have you checked if string contains spaces at the end? Extra spaces cause string being displayed left justified instead of centered.
