Hi, i'm trying to control a DC fan which needs a 25 kHz control signal. The control line is connected through the NPN output of an EX-D16A3-TO16 expansion module which is connected to a V1210. But one thing isn't clear to me at the moment: The expansion module can send a frequency of 1Hz - 32 kHz. So a MI should be enough for the job. But when I look in the help file under "Configuring a High-speed Output (PWM) > Frequency (F)", it says that the Software Units of a V1210 are 0.1Hz (500Hz = 5,000). This would mean that an MI would not be enough because a value of 32,000 would mean I only send a frequency of 3,200 Hz, instead of 32,000 Hz. I cannot select an other operand than a MI, so can I not use this expansion module for sending out an 25kHz signal to my fan? -
Hi All I purchased a new V1210 for a customer and have been developing a chunky bit of code to drive 64 pumps in various modes. The date time is becoming reset to 1st Jan '06 It also only happens on power cycle, not on reset or when downloading new code. I've checked all the obvious stuff: 1. Put in a new battery 2. Checked the battery status bit is fine (in fact I've built in a small piece of code that checks it if is set and the plc starts beeping and a battery icon flashes) until the user presesses confrm at which point I do a reset. Either I hadnt noticed or it has only started happening recently (about a month into development) - I reckon its the first option though; I have just started working on the shcedule bit that triggers on time so ony now am I paying attention to the time. Any thoughts anyone? Could I somehow be inadvertently triggering some state that resets the date/time? Many thanks Mal -
Hi all, I would like to know how to send a value of a MI trough email. I'm using v1210 PLC. I tried to send this value using the option "Indirect mail content" but an strange icon appears. Can I send more than only one value in the same email? Thank you! -
HI All - I seem to have all the quirky ones (see my clock issue So this issue: I have a V1210 + Expansion Module + 2xTO16 - all was working fine for client; I recently recovered the set up to develop and implement new features. On returning the setup today I (for the first time) connected everything up only to find that the expansion module is not communciating with the PLC. : 1. On startup there are some brief flashes on teh comms LED 2. the TO16 just keep flashing. I loaded my empty test programme which is set up for same hardware config. No change until I did an Iniatlise/Reset (Thanks Ausman) and behold evryting was talking again. I reloaded my client's software and nope, it will not see the perpheral devices. Tried Initailise reset - still no joy. I have checked and rechecked the hardware config and it is correct. Is it possible to somehow disable hardware in code? The only thing I can think of is that I did update tle PLC OS on Joe's advice (relating to the clock issue); If I update the OS do I need to do something else to ensure compatibility? Man this PLC is jinxed ! (see my clock issue) Many thanks in advance of any ideas on this. Cheers mal

Hello all ! I'm trying to get data from a V1210 using DataXport. When i try to get OPLC information i got this message : "Communications could not be established due to failure to open port. Port maybe in use by another application or device." Or this port seems to work perfectly and is not used by other application... Can somebody help me ? Regards, Gaël. -
Hi everybody. I need some help because I have an issue, trying to use a Beckhoff BK5120 | CANopen Bus Coupler with a V1210 PLC https://www.beckhoff.com/BK5110/ with the next configuration 4 KL1114 DIGITAL INPUT (4 SINKING) 2 KL1408 DIGITAL INPUT (8 SINKING) 1 KL2134 DIGITAL OUTPUT (4 SOURCING) 2 KL2408 DIGITAL OUTPUT (8 SOURCING) 1 KL3061 ANALOG (0-10V) INPUT https://download.beckhoff.com/download/Document/Catalog/Main_Catalog/english/separate-pages/Bus_Terminal/KL3061.pdf The issue that I have is that I've never used a Beckhoff KL3061 ANALOG (0-10V) INPUT and I don't know how to set up the Unitronics V1210 PLC CANopen configuration in the VisiLogic Software. Also, I'd like to know which function can I use to read the analog input. Does anybody did that before? I'll appreciate your help. Thank you. -
Hello, I am currently checking an installation of a Flow meter model: Hoffer HIT-2A. I would like to calculate in my PLC the Volume flowing at real time. This kind of valve has 2 outputs, 4-20 mA for the Flow Meter and a Pulse with 62.5 msec signal. Should I create a High speed input or can I use the next structure for the Volume Calculation in real time. Any suggestion? Thanks in advance -

Hi, Would someone explain me how can I send correctly variables type REAL (MF`s) over Modbus-TCP? I am working with a PLC V1210 with Internet card V200-19-ET2, it talks to an Anybus X-gateway ( AB7629-F) which is Profibus-Master and Modbus Slave then the Anybus will send the data to a Nachi Robot CFD controller. I already set the comms between all devices and I can send/receive data to each other. My problem starts when I try to send the variable with decimal point (i.e 1.5) to the robot. But let me explain where I have got so far. Before send it to the robot I get the MF0 and copied to a DW0 variable with COPY MEMORY function with the following parameters: COPY MEMORY FUNCTION MF0 = A 0 = B DW0 = C 0 = D 4 = E When I store the value 1 to MF0 my DW0 displays the value 16256 and the Robot gets the same value 16256. However when I start to change the values into MF0 the robot starts receive different values. I have tried many things but I believe I have missed some information in terms how to convert these variables type. Obs: The robot program side gets block of 32 bits and then convert to a DINT variable and after that /100 and store the result into a variable type REAL with decimal point. If there is anyone who could give me a explanation how to deal with this problem would be great. Thanks for now and this is my first topic. I already set the comms between all devices and I can send/receive data to each other. -
Hi, A subroutine in my program uses a few timers. However, when the first timer starts it then stops after only 0.15 seconds have elapsed - the preset value is 10s - and the program flow does not progress beyond that ladder net. Attached is a screenshot showing the relevant part of the ladder during runtime. Sorry if the solution to resolving this is really obvious, but please could someone suggest how to correct this? Many thanks in advance. - James -
Machine has 4 load cells (30klb each, 2mV/V) into a Summing Box, then the single output from the summing box going into LC2 on an I/O LC3. The Load Cells are measuring clamping force of a bolted joint and, as such, there is no real way to put a reasonable known weight onto the LC's and hit "Calibrate." Eventually we'll have a calibrator come out with a through-hole Load Cell to dial it in, but we need to get it in the ballpark to get started. In this application, relative values are more critical than accuracy so if we're off 5% no big deal. I used some simple math to determine that it should take 111,000 or so pounds to reach 80mV/V output which is the top of the scale. Question is, if I use Edit Calibration Point and fake in a Zero and a Full-Scale Output point, will that get me reasonably close to accurate? I thought it seemed workable - theoretically 0.8mV (80mV/V * 10V Excitation) should end up at a Raw value of 8,388,607. But, when I was looking at data the Raw values were about 1/8th of the pounds I was expecting to see, so that kind of shot my theory up a bit. Anyway, hopefully this makes some sense and someone can shed some light! -
good fellow, I present below a video (in Spanish) of the application made in cúcuta / Colombia. a counter tile production system where, thanks to a network of sensors installed you can post all production was implemented. part of this is calculated among other things: machine cycles lost time effectiveness square meter format produced break caused ton consumed in production lifespan of punches, dies Spaces within the furnace mimico of production in the end visualize all this is possible through web server sms OPLC email and scada done by my using dde excel and vba successes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObB3oenmYFQ&feature=share&list=UUIDHP3ZVEBlfVoyINIjvqJw

Hello! I'm using V1210 to control and monitor a container datacenter. The monitoring protocol used by the client is snmp. But there's a problem, the PLC responds only 5 variables per request. If prompted more than 5 variables, the PLC crashes. Is there any way to improve it? It is possible to use the memory card to increase the response buffering snmp? -
Hello, I am working on a project that requires recording the trending data from 4 separate trends to the SD Card. They want to record the data "no less than once every 5 minutes". I based my code off of the program in the examples file in the help menu and was able to get a single trend screen to record (I did it on the v570 for testing) based on a series of timers. The code worked fine however when I used the identicle code for the v1210 (setting up a single trend screen for recording) my start->trend SD Status message reads 256 which I assume is "failed to open file". Does anybody have any pointers on getting the trends to record to the SD card for a v1210? I would export the subroutine and attach it to this post but it won't let me export due to "elements that refernce Named Constants" -
