Hi, I need to work with the Block for my potentiometer in Twincat. Please make a Video about it?

[@electricalautomation]

Please view kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6q6n3t5gJeCa6M, for the analog scaling

Is the syntax of AT %I* identical for all PLC vendors using structure text to link variables to hardware module signals?

[@electricalautomation]

Not really, e.g. Rockwell studio and Siemens TIA Portal they are not. As I know the develop platform has CODESYS core use "AT %.. " as syntax

[@mohamedhafez1641]

@@electricalautomation Thus, any software based on CODESYS, like Automation Builder of ABB, will have the same syntax right?

[@electricalautomation]

@@mohamedhafez1641 Should be, but I recommend you check the ABB program manuals for a confirmation.

I connected my i/o cards and uploaded the code to the plc, but I get an k-BUS error. Do you have any Idea how to fix?

[@electricalautomation]

I recommend adding the module one by one. Configure and download the pure CPU only at first, then add one module and configure and download. Then you will find which module have a problem. BTW, the modules at right side of the CPU should be E-Bus, as I used. If they are K-Bus, likely you need a coupler module e.g. BK1250

I have project about communication with el6001 (RS232 interface). Can you help me?

[@electricalautomation]

Hi, I did not use EL6001 before and I don't have this modal in hand. But I did a search and i found the link may help you. Beckhoff supply the sample program from infosys.beckhoff.com/english.php?content=../content/1033/tc3_plc_intro/63050394919300235.html&id= Good luck!

@@electricalautomation can I use that module to communicate with other controllers? Like arduino

[@electricalautomation]

@@muhammadtriza3251For simple mount of data would be fine. The Arduino side needs a TTL-RS232 interface module. You could use serial communication software to test Arduino and EL6100 each side, then connect them together test ptp communication.

Hello Sir, Can you please tell me how to change the input and output address of EL1008 and EL2008? Anyway thank you once again for your wonderful effort.

[@electricalautomation]

Not quite understand what do you mean "Change address" do you mean rename? Right click the variable and select refactoring

[@ghosthunter9897]

@@electricalautomation for example I have a 8 bit input card. It’s first bit starts from 4.0 but I must change it to 20.0. How can I do it? Thanks in advance!

[@electricalautomation]

@@ghosthunter9897 You can refactor your variable, or just relink a new variable
