MVP 2023 Ausman Posted May 1, 2021 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 Hi all, thought I'd start a new topic where anyone can post a small snippet of a method they use and are happy to share. Just initially a screenshot or link that will get the brain cells of forum participants working hard as to what it might be used for. If it ultimately gets lots of different things submitted, it might become a little clunky and need "linked numbering" here in the first post. To this end I suggest that the time turnaround is a maximum of 4 days between submission and telling the answer, unless it is already figured out by someone. The answer is then given and a new one submitted. We'll see how it evolves. I'll start the ball rolling with the next post, which I think is an easy one. 🤔 cheers, Aus 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MVP 2023 kratmel Posted May 1, 2021 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 Answer ON-OFF-ON-OFF day by day... 1010101010101010101010101010101 Maybe it used for control flowers watering? Or for make correct rise and fall signal at 00.00 everyday. But what with 30 to 1 or 31 to 1 update... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2023 Ausman Posted May 1, 2021 Author MVP 2023 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 Kratmel wins! It is the trigger method for Lead Lag on multiple HVAC compressors that run 24/7. Single run lead lag on compressors is not very good for them if you only give them one run and then switch over. Better to let them work a day as the Primary, cycling as necessary and I then use other algorithms to change them over when not called and time of day, load blah blah is more suited. As to the 30/31 issue, I'm prepared to live with that. The output is used on a whole host of other things as well that are not critical but need to change each day.....most of the time! cheers, Aus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MVP 2023 Ausman Posted May 2, 2021 Author MVP 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 I think I need to have a new rule! We need some vague reference to what type of machine etc the piece of code is in. To me, this is some constantly revolving reference to an amount to trigger actions. Maybe it's a speed controller run by increments/decrements from the MBs, but it could apply to all sorts of things. cheers, Aus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2023 kratmel Posted May 3, 2021 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 Ausman's answer is very close to the solution. Therefore, we consider Number 2 solved. After all, thanks to his tips, I found a way to solve this Sometimes, even in simple task with the encoder, you need to show on the screen that the movement is right - left, or up - down. It is also important to know when the object stopped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isakovic Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 Number 3 Vague reference - this controller controls other machines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2023 Ausman Posted May 8, 2021 Author MVP 2023 Report Share Posted May 8, 2021 Isakovic, please leave this unanswered for a few more days. Views aren't that much, and I know that forum members often don't cruise further down the forum list from the main topmost items, so perhaps it hasn't yet caught all the attention I thought it would. I'll give the topic a mention in those places if things don't pick up. cheers, Aus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2023 kratmel Posted May 9, 2021 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 Hi, i try to decode Isakovich Enigma code Then answer for Number 3: Code do sorting numbers placed in MI13, MI14, MI15, M16, MI17 ....... (If we change first Block in row 5 from > to < code change sorting direction). If we change numbers in first row - we change MI used for sorting in this code. Something like C++ for Visilogic.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(If we change first Block in row 5 from > to < code change sorting direction). That is right. N3 is solved. It is used in compressor control to sort working hours. On that project I learned you'll need to use loops when doing optimization problems, I avoided them before. Whole program is a heap of loops. 8 hours ago, kratmel said: Something like C++ for Visilogic.... Code like this written in ladder gets hard to follow even for simple stuff, bunch of indirect addressing. This program was written some time ago, if I needed to do it now I would try with UniLogic and C scripts, never used UL C functions to run actual machine, only for testing.
