I am new to the PLC world. Though ladder diagrams are not new to me, the last time I did them I used real 115V hard wired relays.
Our only PLC designer left for another job and I inherited it. Ive done everything from circuit design to programming in assemebly, basic, fortran and C and I do VHDL on ocassion, but this stuff is totally different with a language all its own and I am not finding it real intuitive.
Enough of the whining, let me get to the point.
The original design was done on an FP1 C14TD and I had to translate it to an FP-X C14TD. All this does is wait for a switch closure, run a stepper motor at a constant speed and pulse an output at a selected duty cycle.
The biggest change was the pulse output which on the FP1 was the "F164 SPD0". I had to change that to a "F172 PLSH". It compiled fine and loaded OK but when I went to switch to "RUN" mode I get the error in the Status Display "[45] Operation Error Occured". I have looked at the help in FPWIN GR and I went to the Panasonic site and read the FAQs there. I have found nothing useful.
If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it.
If necessay I will try and reproduce the ladder diagram here (looks painful to do), or perhps there is a place here to put an ".fp" file.
Thanks,
