I would take a look at the program and see if there are ways it could be written better. Things like creating function blocks and then calling them multiple times can make a major difference in the program size. -
FBD is one of the 5 IEC 61131-3 programming languages. There should be hundreds of books and tutorials on the Internet on this standard programming language. I know for a fact that www.plcacademy.com and www.realpars.com have information. And there's a few hundred YouTube videos.

Hello Friends In the Plant We have several safety PLCs. Checking a machine for a program change, I notice that the memory is almost full. For example, i have attached some images. What could I do? Change the CPU for a one with more capacity? A nonvolatile memory could help o this one is just for store the program? In the General Tab the controller can not be changed. Thanks in advance. -
i want to learn fbd programming kindly someone guide me or send manuals or tutorials links to study this language -
I found that a little confusing as well. You would think they would describe it as it "IS" represented, not how it should be. @zhuchi, Nice job on the PIDAT. Understanding the rudiment data types is important when working with PLCs. No reason to be ashamed. Math is easy until we encounter limitations. -
Might need to change to "You save the data to the ..... Rockwell SD card Siemens SD card And let's pay $$$ per Gb -
My only guess as to why the module setup is displayed like this would be that "Omron" would expect a user to use a Multiply by 0.1, 0.01 etc to scale correctly rather than a Divide by 10, 100 due to the speed the instructions process. Multiplies being faster than divides.

Hello group, Has anyone done any work in using the ActiveX Chart object in their HMI projects? I got some information from Rockwell, which has proven to be marginally useful, but the chart I'm trying to create isn't displaying the actual data points. What I'm trying to mimic is the chart you can open up in Studio 5000 for the Motion Calculate Cam Position (MCCP) blocks. As shown in the attached picture, the chart will display a selected axis, as well as other associated axes that are being used in the project. I've also attached a PDF of the logic I put together, based off what I got from Rockwell. When selecting a certain axis, it will load the Master and Slave data points into the data arrays and then what I thought was going to happen is it was going to draw lines based off the data points but all I get is the chart/graph and that's it. Any ideas would be appreciated! ChartLogic.pdf -

So at least ONE manufacturer has thought of front-panel data transfer. My focus on the SD slot in particular is that the PLCs and HMIs I've come across only load/save 'recipes' to their SD slot, they don't allow that function to directly access the USB stick, nor do they allow data recording directly to USB. I've been thinking of ways to make the technicians' lives easier, and giving a procedure of "You save the data to the SD card inside the machine, then use this file transfer routine to copy it from the card to the USB stick" feels like a bit of a kludge. Sometimes it's a matter of learning the right question to ask. So I will need to amend my original query: Do any HMIs have an SD card on their front face -OR- Do any HMIs allow for recipe loading/saving directly to a USB stick? (Extending a USB port to the panel enclosure is child's play, so the HMI doesn't even need a front-face USB-A socket, the rear socket will work just fine.) -
Error 87 is the stop input on the servo drive. Likely the parameters were changed in the old drive to not have this signal wired. You need to update the parameters in the new one to match.
