Hello So far I am getting on well with a small project, and have an FX3 with analogue module connected to a small monochrome GOT 2000. What I want to do, is adjust a counter K value from the HMI, and display the K number. I have figured out how to create the screen, and add bit numbers etc, but not yet sussed out this bit. I have an up and down key and numeric display on the screen, but cant figure out the rest. Still a lot to learn! Can anybody point me in the right direction? We have GXworks 2 BTW. Kind Regards Spud

Thanks. This has helped a lot. Just have to figure out the GOT programming now.

Hello The PLC is an FX3S20M with FX3G-2AD-BD module. I am used to ladder programming, as opposed to function block, if that makes any difference. Kind Regards Spud

Hello everyone, I am a new member from England! I am hoping to learn from this forum, and indeed contribute (eventually). I am not new to general simple programming, but analogue is a new one for me, and I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I have looked at a few youtube videos, but these dont always explain fully, or have no explanation at all! What I am trying to do, is get an analogue input (0-10V) to operate an internal relay, a bit like a trip amp. This is for a weighing application, and the threshold will eventually be adjustable with a GOT screen. Basically, I want to have the analogue value of , let's say 7 volts, energise M5. Anything below 7 volts and M5 de-energises, but anything above 7 volts, and M5 stays energised. I hope this makes sense! The PLC is an brand new FX, with an analogue module, and I understand I need a device number from the analogue module instruction manual. This is probably relatively simple, but me being a bit of a newbie, I am getting a bit bogged down with it all. Some of the online videos show the analogue ladder instruction preceded by an M8000 (or similar) instruction. What is the purpose of this? Thanks in advance.
