Fill MB Vector issue

[Kieran B]

Hi all

I have made a few projects now on the Jazz units and really like them, now I am trying some more adventurous stuff

So I made a program to activate a certain number of MBs based on number of pumps required but the fill vector doesn't appear to be working.

I have attached the program I have made so far

I am wondering if its me or a problem in the Jazz

 

Your help will be appreciated

Hello Kieran,

 

Storing a "1" into SI141 will not work with the MB vector fill.  You must use a set coil, or a reset coil, linked to SB141.

 

Hope this helps.

Hi Shane

Thanks for taking the time to reply but now I am really confused,

in the help information it said SI141 was to set the start of the vector now you are saying to use a set coil on SB141 instead

Could you possibly write out the fill MB vector logic so I can learn from it?

 

The way I was thinking and hoping it work from the beginning and reading the help info

SI141 1st MB to use

SI142 length of vector(number of MB to activate) Set by value MI20

SI143 Value to store (a 1 to set MB to on)

SI140 function #36 MB vector fill

Never mind

Through trial and error - my favourite way of learning I have figured it out, remembered I had seen it done similarly somewhere before... in the standard linearization nets

Thanks

Hello Kieran,

 

Glad to hear you figured it out!  I apologize for the confusion; you would replace storing a 1 into SI141 with a set coil linked to SB141.

 

We are updating the help files to reflect this information.

Great thanks again

for anyone interested in the working example I a have attached it
