Title: Direct Soft 6 programming
Post by: ortiz.edward on July 29, 2015, 03:57:27 PM

Hello!

Some brief information: I am working with a DL205 and a DL250-1 CPU with an ECOM100 Module. My project requires for me to read a register number of 40063 then write to a DCS. The register is a 16 bit register and utilizes bits 0-10. How do I set bit 0-10 in the program? I am having difficulty trying to solve this problem. If you need any more information please let me know

I do not know how far you have made it on this project, but there are a few things that you will have to do.

1) Set up your IP addresses for your connected devices in the Peer-to-Peer table.
This can be done using NetEdit found in the DS6 launcher under utilities.
Look under the 'ECOM Settings' tab at the bottom.

2) Insert a ECOM100 Ibox at the very top of your ladder program.

3) Insert a ECRX Ibox in your ladder program, and set it to read from V76 (This address is derived using this (http://support.automationdirect.com/docs/modbus_conversion.xls) spreadsheet from AD).

4) Post back here with any more questions and include either a zipped version of your file, or screenshots of what you've done.
