gruntstripe Posted March 29, 2006 Report Posted March 29, 2006 Hello, Thanks for the replies to my previous post. I wonder if anybody could shed any light on the following: Can I go on-line via a FX-232ADP module connected to a FX-128 base unit. If so how. Also how do I use the transparent mode via a MAC50? Is it necessary have to have the MAC programming software installed - is it mpp and is it possible to get a free copy anywhere do you know? We presently use FXGP_WIN for programming. Quote
navillusi Posted March 29, 2006 Report Posted March 29, 2006 To use transparent mode on the MAC 50 it must be enabled in the HMI project. For this you will need the programming software (yes this is MPP) which I still believe that you have to pay for. If you have the patience, you can program the HMI from the keypad, you do not need the software for this. Make sure that the communication parameters are set the same for the PLC, HMI and transparent mode. Connect to the HMI using the standard CAB5 HMI lead (or make one up) and ensure that transparent mode is selected in GX developer. Quote
