Great

[@ScantimeAutomationTraining]

Thanks

[@leebeavers6912]

Thanks for the help getting started. Can you create a short video to show the easiest or best way to get into an existing program, find a device, then edit that rung to add a device? Thanks again!

[@ScantimeAutomationTraining]

Great suggestion! We actually cover this more on our hands-on training courses :)

[@mabredayoub9157]

love your videos can you do more videos about gxworks2 and use more languages especialy ethrnet connection communication

[@ScantimeAutomationTraining]

We'll look to create more videos on GxWorks 2!

[@rafaelmachado4089]

Thanks for this video. It was the best explanation of this software I've seen in many videos I searched. It help me so much! Only one question, in mine gxworks2, when I start typing, it don't show all the label options I created with this start name. Do you know why? My version is 1.77F. It works only in st loggic

[@ScantimeAutomationTraining]

You're very welcome! I would personally need to see what you are seeing to check if there is anything missing in terms of the setting up.

[@bertdresselaers6113]

Tnx for a clear explanation in proper English. I do have a problem with registering the System label information . I compiled and saved, but I keep getting the error message.

[@ScantimeAutomationTraining]

Have a look at the error message, this will usually give you some indication.

[@musanajohn3743]

HELLO FROM UGANDA

[@ScantimeAutomationTraining]

HI!

[@sukumaranrajendran9078]

Hello, Excellent explanation. Very much simple and understandable to beginners. In my FX3U compact PLC the TON instruction doesn't work. The PLC goes into Error when run. This is applicable to all IEC function blocks. Program compiles without error or warning, offline simulation runs well. What is the possible reason?

[@ScantimeAutomationTraining]

You are welcome! We would have to check your code unfortunately to see what may have gone wrong.

[@firashamdan4175]

good

[@ScantimeAutomationTraining]

Thanks

[@rho35100]

Apart from yours. Can you recomend any web or youtube channel with project examples? Specially one with stepper motors

[@ScantimeAutomationTraining]

Hi Charles, unfortunately, we can't make any recommendations unless we have personally used their courses or videos etc., which we haven't

[@amanimlay6183]

hello good man

[@ScantimeAutomationTraining]

Hello

[@shaungrenfell189]

I have a few plc’s. Mitsubishi fx1s10. Fx3s10. Omron CP1E . Crouzet millennium 3. I also have an old GOT 1000 HMI. I have CXDevelopper, omron cx1 and crouzet free software. I want to end up with just one brand. What do you suggest I keep?

[@ScantimeAutomationTraining]

Keep them all! But if we were to recommend one, Omron is a great starting tool! We also have an online course called the PLC Programming for Industry course which is perfect for beginners and uses Omron as the learning platform due to its ease of use.

[@LouisXP100]

Hello teacher, do you know how I can add another ladder program sheet in a program of an original FX3G or FX3U PLC in a new project? It doesn't let me when it's a new project, but yesterday I loaded a program from an original FX3U PLC and it did have several sheets. I can add leaves to that program but not to mine. Greetings

[@ScantimeAutomationTraining]

Are you referring to POU's for program sheets?

[@merzouguiyahia3989]

HI; would you please help me with programming a pid instruction to controle speed of FAN ( analog out is from 0 TO 10V) plc is AMX FX3U 26MR AND SOFTWARE IS GX WORKS2. I HAVE TRIED BUT THE PID OUTPUT NOT WORKING

[@ScantimeAutomationTraining]

Will have a look at PID

[@javasyndicate713]

where can I get the GX work2 software ?

[@ScantimeAutomationTraining]

You can purchase this from Mitsubishi

[@punitsahu9880]

[@SkeletonManlover125]

Why are my global labels not working i wonder i followed along. it wont turn pink

[@ScantimeAutomationTraining]

I'm not sure unfortunately, but make sure they are named correctly and are set up as the correct data type

[@felixsigei7132]

Is it possible to simulate without plc.

[@ScantimeAutomationTraining]

Yes, it certainly is!

[@filricarcillas941]

How i will get the gx developer application

[@ScantimeAutomationTraining]

You can try and get it from Mitsubishi!
