Good days Mr. Izquierdo,
I hope you are doing well.
It has been over a year since last time I contacted you for technical support.
I am trying to run the 14 Assembly Factory just as normal like all the previous machines.
The 14 Assembly Factory might be the most difficult of all the machines to program a code to make it run.
I am having two issues with this:
I can not find a control panel to start and stop the machines (push buttons) inside the 14 Assembly Factory. ( unless I have to add them in the Factory1 Editor section of the EasyPLC software).
When configuring the number of IO (digital inputs, outputs, analog inputs, analog outputs) I get the following message:
This machine uses more Digital/Analog I/O number than configured in your system.
Your setup
Digital inputs number: 256 Digital Outputs number: 128
Analog Input number: 16 Analog Outputs number: 16
The selected machine:
Digital inputs number: 150 Digital Outputs number: 124
Analog Input number: 14 Analog Outputs number: 10
Please increase the I/O number in order this machine can work properly!
I believe the location to set up the I/O number is in IO drivers button located in the bottom, then Driver name: EasyPlc, and finally machine simulator IO number.
Here I can not select exactly the number of IO needed to run the machine. It is either more or less, not exactly the amount needed.
Thank you a lot for taking the time in helping solving this issue.
Best regards,
Elvis Amparo
Hi Eamparo,
Relating to the push buttons this machine doesn't include it, but you can add it in machine using the editor, in fact you can edit each of the machines available.
The error message appears due you have not configured the neccessaty digital and analog I/O signals.
Each Machines could need different number of I/O, and in order to save resources and not to use a large number of I/O's, which may affect the communication speed between the PLC and MS, you could need to increase or decrease the I/O number.
In the Machine Simulator Instruction guide.pdf is explained how to do it, you must to enter in the Editor and in the Upper Tool Menu select:
Settings: From this menu, you can configure the number of digital and analog Inputs and outputs used by Machines Simulator. Also in order to simulate machine errors, you can disable I/O signals.
Set IO Number: Set the digital and analog Input and Outputs number available for the system. Also, here you can disable/enable the digital I/O in order to simulate I/O failures.
Regards.
