spif Posted December 10, 2019 Report Posted December 10, 2019 This is my first time around with a Mitsubishi PLC, and I'm using GX Works2 software to write code for a Q series PLC. I'm setting up some timers in my program and I noticed it won't let me grab any address for a timer, I have to use the next unused value. For example I want to create T200, but I have to use T48 because 48 is the next available address. Is there a way around that? Also, how many timers can I create? I'm not trying to go for the world record of timers used, but in my program I was hoping to use timers 1-100 for one process, 101-200 for another process, and so on. According to the Device/Label Automatic Assign Setting, the max is 2047. Is that correct?
Gambit Posted December 11, 2019 Report Posted December 11, 2019 (edited) you can use any Timer you would like. I would use labels and not care which used but.... In your PLC parameters devices TAB you can create more if needed. The Device/Label Automatic Assign Setting labels are those used for the compiler. So those are the ones you cannot use yourself. But you can change the settings if you like Edited December 11, 2019 by Gambit
