TIMER PROGRAMMING DIRECTSOFT6 32 BIT
That loads the accumulator with the 32 bit Real constant 100.0, correct?Īlso, in some places the original programmer is putting some real values in addresses in V memory locations that begin with even numbers, but in at least one place he is using an odd number. It would sure be nice if the Data View would show the contents of the memory locations for working offline. And I am sure if I had started out with A/D I would be nearly as lost in Logix-land. I am finding it a lot more time consuming than RSLogix, but that is why they get the big bucks I suppose. Having some of my new comments showing up in the ladder view is helpful. Since the flowmeter signal I am most concerned with is coming from an orifice DP transmitter with SQRTR involved and a bunch of interim storage locations, there is a bunch of extra math I need to nail down. Once I get some of the instruction mnemonics memorized, I can speed this up a bit. It is a bit cumbersome, but being the only customer using A/D, I can live with it.

I'll follow this thread and give as much help as I can. Note that we haven't moved to Directsoft 6 (from 5) yet but this should all still apply.

Double clicking on a location reference in the XRef view will move the ladder to that point. If you have 'View' - 'Cross Reference View' open then clicking on an element in the ladder will move the XRef view to that item.

You can use 'Tools' - 'Memory Editor' to observe sections of data tables but they don't update in real time. If you enter one location you can enter those which sequentially follow by clicking CTRL-Enter starting from the first one. Yes you will have to set up the Data Views. Go to 'PLC' - 'Setup' - 'PID' for setup and control of the loops. The PID loops themselves do not appear as instructions.
TIMER PROGRAMMING DIRECTSOFT6 MANUAL
Special system V registers are detailed starting on page 3-29.Ĭhapter 8 of the manual provides the introduction and methods of controls for PID. Special system bit locations are detailed in Appendix D of the DL06 manual. While the analog cards do occupy X and Y I/O points the DL06 system, after initialization of some memory locations (grab the analog manual), automatically processes the data from V registers to analog outputs and from analog inputs to V memory registers. I have found the data view windows, but do I have to fill in the blanks? Is there some easier way to set up my work space so I can quickly jump between a data point in an instruction to a window with a cross reference? Can I see the values stored in those locations when offline? I am pretty sure there is a PID block in at least one of these projects, but how do I see it, and can I see it when offline?Ĥ)Data tables. I did find Bernie Carlton's web page on the subject and found it quite useful in general.ġ) How do I track down the I/O data points (including an add on analog module) in the PLC memory/data tables? I understand that the discrete points are X and Y, but what about analog add on cards?Ģ)Where is a list of "special registers" that I can refer to for e DL06? Apparently there are a lot of SP contacts that mean something, but what?ģ) PID. So, I need to figure out everything from nothing which has been easy for me with Allen Bradey PLCs, but I am having a hard time with DirectSoft. Of course there is no documentation, no electrical diagrams, no nothing. I have uploaded and saved two programs from a customer site. I am trying to get around in a DL06 project using DirectSoft 6. I am lost in DirectSOFT land, and starting to get a little frustrated. I have been chuggin' along pretty quick with the A/B systems I have encountered, but today. It is not like my other jobs where I could walk back and forth between my work place and my machinery when I ran into missing info.

I am going to be spending a lot of hours in "tug test" mode following wires all over the place. I have found about 1 in 10 customers in the water industry with any existing wiring diagrams or documented programs. This not going to be as easy as I had thought.
