PLUS+1 GUIDE / Re: Switching and connecting 2 analog signals
« Last post by Daan on Today at 10:06:37 AM »
Thank you for the information G30RG3 and FLuidPowerTom!

I understand the comparison with the supply voltage, but I don't understand how and with what it is connected to the scaling? You talk about a certain switch but I don't really know what component you mean by this. I have only recently started programming in PLUS+1 GUIDE, so I have not mastered the program very well. Would it be possible to show an example of the components or tell me where to find them?

Thanks in advance for all your time and help!

As G3 was mentioning you could use a comparison on the source voltage.  For most controllers that'll be C1P2.voltage, and you could just check to see if it's greater than 20V to determine which voltage source you've got.

No, you can't connect the signals as you've done in that image.  You will want to use either a Boolean Switch or a couple of Value Connect components along with that comparison that I mentioned.

Compare the source voltage to a fixed value, the output from that compare can be used to (binary) switch the right result from your scaling operation.
Or if needed compare the source voltage to a few fixed values to switch between the scaled outputs and in a "in between source voltage" give a fixed voltage that is "out of range" to provoke an error

If you put a checkpoint on the PI loop output is that reading steady?  If not then I guess post your PI loop logic here.

If so then are the repetition times and timeout time settings for your I/O module all set to default, or might something be off?  See attached for the default settings.

PLUS+1 GUIDE / Switching and connecting 2 analog signals
« Last post by Daan on March 20, 2023, 01:32:56 PM »
Hello everyone!

I have a problem and I hope you can help me with it.

I have an analog signal that can vary from 0-12V as well as 0-24V. How can I ensure that depending on whether the supply voltage is 12 or 24V, the correct analog signal is scaled?

Is it possible to connect these 2 analog signals to 1 analog output without this giving an error?

Thanks in advance for all the help!

Hi Tor ,Guys,

Tagging onto this post, does the annual professional renewal (111795524) also rehost to the second machine?

Thanks.

Hi,

Try using a 2B or 2F in the write command.

I/O Modules / IOX024 Pulsing/Flashing Outputs
« Last post by Lukey on March 18, 2023, 04:05:35 PM »
Heyllo I am having issues with Pulsing/Flashing outputs in my application.

Hardware comprises of a DM430E and IOX024.

I have a simple PI loop circuit, a 0.5-4.5V pressure switch on C1p10 is functioning correctly, the signal input is reading steady.
But my PWM output C2p03 to the coil is turning on and off at approximately 3hZ.

I have checked my code to ensure no funny business, changes the PWM frequency on the group from my desired 160 back to 4000hZ but nothing.

I've even tested all the other outputs as PWM and/or Digital Outs in all possible PinConfigs and I am getting the same on and off at 3hZ.

CAN comms issue I have checked that and no errors there, I believe I can rule that out.

Does anyone have any ideas? I assume this hardware config (DM430E and IOX024 is proven/compatible)?

I fixed this, I overlooked that I needed to Get Array Element prior to using Right-Shift, followed by the Bitwise AND.

Attached for future reference if anyone needs it.
