D0-06&C-more

A little update,
I have been going through the ladder and had to make sooooo many changes that I just started over for the most part. But thanks to B. Carlton I am on the right track, so my hat's off to you Mr. Carlton, thank you.
I do have one question though about the Cmore, When you power off and return power, my values that are entered on the display (Cmore) disapear. Is there a setting for the Cmore to retain them, or is it through the PLC ladder?

The retention of values is in the PLC. Go to PLC - Setup - Retentive Ranges to make sure that your numbers are coverd by the ranges. If not either move your numbers, adjust the ranges or both.

GRRRR! Something went wrong, went to the setup and set the retention value and that worked. Added another timer, T6 used V2006, for the Cmore tag changed it T6 and now it won't work, tired going to bed.

Your c-more tag needs to reference V2006 to change the preset.

Well after work tonight I went back to do some tweaking and trying to figure out what I did to it. Finaly,( before I seen plcnut's post) I figured out what I did, when I changed the V locations for the timers, I forgot to change them in the Cmore....go ahead laugh, I did, had to look at it with a set of fresh eyes. So now the timers work with the Cmore and with the 06 in run mode I can see changes and the timers are staying on (retintative) the display after power is removed, energized again, so I feel better about it now. Man, what mind boggler this has been. I still have to do some work with the Cmore on the indicators, buttons, and screens matching again.
Could not have done it with you guys giving advice though, I'd still be freaking out and sending e-mails to ADC, forwarding them to my home mail, so a big thanks to you guys.

BTW, Who at Host is the one that writes the information on the instruction browsers? When I was writing the code for this ladder and I selected a coil icon, select coil class, RLL Plus, and select the JMP in the instruction browser down at the very bottom I find this (JUMP! For my love... JUMP! Bla bla bla bla... ) I thought it to be funny and was wondering who it was that did this. This is not something you find every day in the professional world, bunch of stiffs normaly. Just curious that's all.

That would be me. When I developed the browser, I needed some text to test with, so I stuck that in. When we added the real content, somebody thought it was cute to leave it in. We have had several people find it over the years, so we leave it in for kicks.

Ha Ha good one BoBo, I have not had a chance to do anything here lately, had 2 vehicles down, my turned out to be the trucks computer and my son's truck had a bad water leak, done and done. Now I have to turn my attention his truck, my son, no heat to the cab and it's getting cooler, well , cold today as some of already know around these parts.

I did however get to work on my project a bit and had to make a lot of changes, at least the timers on the c-more and the d-06 are playing well with each other(thanks guys). I'm at a poit now that I'll have to hook it up to the machine and see what's going to happen and make changes as I work out the bugs. I'll keep you all posted on this thread as I go through it all. Later after it's all complete and I can I will post a link to you tube so you guys can see just what it's all for.

What's going on,
Not much to tell, thought I would have more to show and tell by now. C-more mounted in panel, 06 mounted in panel, and some wires hooked up. I was informed that I will have to be moved to one of the other plants bceause we are "centralizing" maintenance to one plant. On the other side of the coin, I will now get some assistance that I have not had in 6+ years so trying to update/updrage equipment might come sooner than I had previously conceived. I was also told that they would like to see some more "automation" where it can be done. For now my project is on hold till the move is made and things are calmer before I can pick up where I left off, how long will that take, not sure because there are 4 plants total and 3 mainteance personale.
