Beijers E100 HMI E100 showing and adjusting counters

[ecca]

I'm looking for help...... How can I show and adjust counters using an E 100 HMI ? Plc is a Mitsubishi FX1N 30. I'm OK with using the function buttons to reset the count and general button functions like pulling realys in but how do I specifically increment/decrement counters and show it happenning ? Cheers Eric Thacker

Just use a analog numeric value and enter the correct Counter nr (C25). If it's an high speed counter make sure defined as 32 bits Don't forget to set the enable operator input if ouy want to use the buttons to increase or decrease the value Edited May 25, 2007 by Gambit

OK....... I can show the relevant analogue object.......... say D0. I can set 2 function buttons to increment/decrement analogue objects. How do I set the function buttons to work ... say.... on D0 ?

Try this. F1 increments C25 by 1 F2 decrements C25 by 1 F3 increments D0 by 1 F4 decrements D0 by 1 Pressing the Enter key with the cursor on one of the objects will allow you to enter a specific value. Hope it helps inc_dec.zip Edited May 26, 2007 by Paul Ked

Thanks Paul, is that as simple as the macro gets ? inc C25, dec25 etc ? Is that all I call it ? Seems too good to be true. Thank you, great stuff, Eric Thacker

It should be, although (as I'm at home) I haven't tried it. I would normally pulse a flag from the HMI to inc/dec in the PLC. Best of luck Paul Ked
