    PLC Programming Changes

    Hello, How are values changed in a PLC (GE Fanuc 64 micro) where the changes would automatically be accepted into the program without having to stop the PLC, and not have to download the new data and restart the PLC. I just want to change a value of a position sensor or value on a move...

    Analog I/O

    Hello everyone, I am now in the process of progaming my injection press and with some success. All moving members are working and i can set speeds and pressures for them. I see now how the raw values will be much too large to deal with once I get the initial programming done. I have been...

    Analog I/O

    Thanks amptrap, I'm learing alot here. So far I'm ok with just seeing the raw values but will change them into eng units, most likely inches. Linear positioning is what I'm dealing with now. I'm using a GE micro 64 with a analog expansion unit. Changes will be made on a laptop designated to...

    Analog I/O

    Thanks for the input. As I am looking at the AI values represented at the logic elements I see that they are in fact 0-32,676 for 0-10v inputs respectivly. The scaling is all internally done. Thanks dV8r... Anyway, I just programmed my first few rungs of analog I/O and actually achieved...

    Analog I/O

    Thanks everyone for your response. I would like to elaborate further. The AI's will receive signals from 4 separate linear transducers on the machine. This is a Injection mold machine. One for the clamp position, injection unit, screw position and ejector position. As far as I understand, The...

    Analog I/O

    I am new to programing analog input and output modules. I have installed a mixed 4in/2out GE analog expansion module as part of the control on a machine I am rebuilding. Can someone help me understand what type of function blocks I can use to give a specific analog output to a volume card? This...
