Title: H0-CTRIO(2) in DL-06 - example to change PLS values
Post by: go1 on August 27, 2015, 04:43:03 PM

I am looking for any examples that may exist of how to change the values in PLS tables for a CTRIO(2) via ladder in a DL-06.

I have successfully setup the CTRIO(2) to work with a Quadrature encder, but need to be able to have the user adjust the limit values in the PLS tables for each output.

Anyone have any examples of how to do this via RLL?

Thanks

In the CTRIO manual - chapter 6 - read the section titled 'Runtime Changes to CTRIO Configured Preset Tables'

When done that load the Directsoft program CTREDPT_ex1 from the 'Examples' folder in your 'Projects' directory under the  Directsoft5 folder in you C drive. It uses IBox commands to achieve the changes. In the instruction the CTRIO number and Output number will be fixed but the other parameters can be variable V registers.

Well gee, I just learned something new. I was 4 versions behind in CTRIO WB 2. That explains why I had no idea what go1 was talking about.

Why is there no typical way to find the version number from within CTRIO WB I wonder? Then again, I have a mess with HAPtools in that I have multiple copies of some of them showing up in start menu and in DS5 Tools menu and that includes WB and WB2 and WB2 and not just the different combos. I think not always letting it install to the default location contributed.

Nice answer Mr. Carlton.
