Title: GX and GY with KEP
Post by: mhw on November 10, 2016, 01:28:54 PM

If I create GX and a GY memory blocks in my domore will KEP read this using the DL driver?

Sorry, no.

The DL protocol implementation within Do-more only supports the DirectLOGIC elements X, Y, C, and V, which correspond to the Do-more blocks DLX, DLY, DLC, and DLV.  It does not understand the DirectLOGIC bit areas GX or GY (or S or T or CT or SP or ...).

You can expand the size of your DLX, DLY, DLC, and DLV to much larger than their default sizes in Do-more.  This can be done by the Memory Configuration settings within the System Configuration.  Not sure if the issue was needing more bits, or if you actually needed native GX/GY support.

I assumed that was the answer, but I had my fingers crossed. My goal was to simplify an upgrade from a 260 to DoMore. All of the discrete bits in the HMI are GX and GY.

What are the chances of getting you to add DLGX (GX) and DLGY (GY) to the domore memory addresses?

That is actually not a bad idea.  I have seen G memory used quite a bit on DL type CPU's, especially on machines from Japan.  I have used the memory areas for separating out I/O going to the HMI on my 260 projects.  It might make migrations easier. Not a must have, but something to put a wish list.

I won't dedicate built-in memory for it, but it probably wouldn't be super hard to add a configuration option to map one or both to block(s) that you manually create.
