Do-more CPUs and Do-more Designer Software / Issue with analog output during power on sequence before going into run mode

« Last post by opburg89 on June 11, 2026, 05:08:30 PM »

Hi,
Having an issue with the BRX analog output configured for +-10vdc during an initial power on sequence.
The analog output controls a hydraulic proportional valve to move a cylinder into position. We are using the BX-DM1E-10ED23-D plc with local onboard analog
input and outputs. I have a 4-20ma LVDT connected to the analog input and a +-10vdc proportional valve connected to the analog output with 0vdc being no motion. Everything works properly
after unit is in run mode with LED run light solid. If the Run/Term/Prog switch is placed in program mode prior to removing plc power, the cylinder will not move during the initial startup sequence.
After the PLC goes through its startup sequence and the PWR light is illuminated solid, the switch can be placed into run and the hydraulic cylinder will not move. If the mode switch is left in run
or terminal position and power is cycled to plc then when power is re-applied and prior to the PLC going into run mode with the PWR light flashing the proportional valve will receive a -10vdc signal from the onboard analog
output, moving the cylinder in a negative direction until the plc fully boots up into run mode and run light is illuminated. Is there any way to disable the analog output during initial startup? I looked
within the Do-more software and online tech support without success. Could this be hardware/firmware related? Thanks for help or direction!

Do-more CPUs and Do-more Designer Software / Re: Variable velocity jogging with AXJOG?

Looks like maybe I need to use AXVEL to achieve this, with the .TargetVelocity dynamically update from the scaled analog value, as log as the instruction is active?

Do-more CPUs and Do-more Designer Software / Variable velocity jogging with AXJOG?

« Last post by JasonO on June 11, 2026, 12:45:35 PM »

I'm retrofitting a control that includes 2 servo axes, which I will control with step and direction outputs from a BRX. I need to be able to move the axes to preset positions, which is easy enough. I also need to be able to jog them manually with analog joystick, with the target velocity scaled from the analog input. In other words, the axis velocity needs to be dynamically updated based on the analog input signal, while the jog is in process. I don't think I've ever done this particular sort of thing before, so I wanted to see if someone can verify that this can work, and how.

Thanks!

Yes, the password field would be sufficient, and I understand leaving the username as it is trivial.
Thank you for the consideration!

MQTT Username/Password Obfuscation
I would like to see the obfuscation of the password field in the MQTT broker password field.

We can do this for all the password fields in the System Configuration dialog boxes.  Not sure if it is helpful to do it for the user name?  That could create a lot of frustration for most customers when it's not working.  People understand hiding the password field contents - that's probably enough?

I mentioned this in another thread, but thought it would be appropriate to put it here. 

MQTT Username/Password Obfuscation
I would like to see the obfuscation of the password field in the MQTT broker password field.  In the scenario where multiple techs have access to a plc configuration, it is not always the case that the techs that set up the PLC should be able to see the password for the MQTT broker that is not a part of the PLC, but is another system all together.  Attached is an image of what I would prefer to see.

Are you able to share any information on any new features/abilities? or even a timeline?

CTRIO and CTRIO2 / CTRIO WB error

« Last post by brock on June 04, 2026, 12:38:19 PM »

I'm getting an error when I run CTRIO WB and it tries to connect to the EBC module. First time user with this utility and we have a custom setup running PC software to connect to the EBC100 module via Ethernet. Our program successfully communicates with the EBC100. I'm trying to configure the CTRIO with the WB software, but can't do that because of the error.

Is the DM2 CPU still in the works?
Thanks!

Yes.
