Need Help!- System Variables for Interface Signals

[JMS4287]

Hello all, I'm trying to figure out how to read a pmc address from a program on a 21iTB control..from looking through the operator's manual I think variables #1000-#1015 & #1032 are for this, but I'm not sure how it works...It says for detailed info refer to connections manual B-62523EN-1, which of course I don't have and can't find anywhere...Does anybody know how to do this...I'm trying to read to state of G1217.0 or relay R0031.0...Thanks.

I don’t think you are going to be able to read those addresses thru the system variables. The #1000 and #1032 ranges read input and output signals typically setup by the MTB for various uses. You are going to need the experts jump in and explain in detail if you can read the G and R stuff.

You would need to tie these to one of the custom macro variables as you have said.

you would need a line in your ladder some thing like:-

R0031.0.......G54.0
---| |----------O-
Relay1........UI000

This would write 1 to #1000 when R0031.0 is on

I have attached the relevant documentation.

I am unsure if the variable will revert back to 0 when R0031.0 goes off, this needs to be tested. (I would expect it to.)

Thanks MysticMonkey, That looks like everything I need...time to have some fun playing with the ladder...

Fordav11, your right...I typed it wrong..that's probably why I couldn't find it anywhere...
