If I have to go and manually assign memory addresses for all of those "labels", I can do that, but I would rather not. Most importantly, is there a way to import the labels from the PLC program? All I found for which "device" to use is physical addresses in the controller. I have drawn most of the screens I need to run the machine, though there are some things I haven't figured out yet. Or you can set up the "Refresh Parameters" to assign them to a memory location automatically. If the network is setup correctly you should be able to access the remote devices via buffer memory with FROM/TO commands. See where the CC Link fits in and set its start I/O no. You can check it with the "Acknowledge XY Assignment" button. If you haven't already, set up your XY assignment in PC Parameters.
It should tell you that in the manual (if you can find where hehe). The XY assignment is divided into channels of 16bits e.g. 10 is channel 1 (x10~x1f), 20 is ch2 (x20~2f) etc. needs to match up with where your network card actually sits on the base unit (your XY assignment). If you go into to the CC IE tab, you can set the network settings as per your requirements. The Q series network setup is under Parameter, Network Parameters in the navigation tree.
It feels like the information you need is dispersed across 10 documents, sometimes the programming examples don't work and don't explain how to actually input the command. I really understand where you're coming from with the Mitsubishi manuals. I am starting to get nervous about setting up the HMI, which is usually just busy work. I am sure the Mitsubishi PLCs are just as reliable as the VFDs which we have used for 20 years, but the documentation for the programming is making me crazy. If there is a resource that explains how labels are used in GX Works and an easy way to enter logic other than contact and coil in plain English, I would really appreciate help finding it. But when I started entering the most basic instructions (contacts direct to coils) it seemed to take the labels I had entered without physical addresses. The examples in the stuff I have read are using straight X and Y and T and never use a "label" at all.
Is this just the physical address for that "label", like T0 or D0? Or does it mean something else? I have tried reading the Help and Basic Programming Manuals and I am no less confused. The device column in the "global label" window is confusing me. I am not even sure I understand if the "labels" are documentation for physical addresses like RSLogix 500 and older Step 7 or dynamic tags like RSLogix 5000 and TIA Portal. I can't even find a simple way to enter a timer, much less have the setting be an adjustable tag. I am looking for simple things like having a timer based on an input and having the setting for the timer be a tag that can be adjusted from the HMI. I think there has to be just terminology translation I am missing, but the manuals are not really helping much. We are using a Q03 PLC, GT25 HMI and A800 VFDs. I am struggling to figure out how to do basic things in GX Works 2. This machine has run on designs from A-B (CompactLogix or ControlLogix per customer), Siemens (S7-300 or S7-1500) and also a smaller manufacturer that is more industry specific. + Download MC-WORX 9.2 Mitsubishi SCADA Software.I am working with a machine maker on a control system to use a Mitsubishi PLC and HMI.
