Tim said:What value do you have when you turn on M215?
Good question that I can't answer... I won't have access to the PLC 'til I get to the customer...
Sounds like you may have a point though... The manual mentions that bit 15 is used for the sign.
Thanks for bringing it up. That would have driven me nuts!...
I'm going to use Peter's method, but it would be nice to verify this anyway. Anyone here got an FX they can test this on?
By the way Tim, you were asking about the operator panel...
It's just a simple canned message display I've used before. See THIS LINK. I don't like these new EZ-Text units as much as the old Optimates, but the Optimates don't have the Mitsubishi protocol...
These are really simple to use... You specify a D register for each text line, then just stick the message number you want to display in the register. For US$200 (including cable), you can't beat it...
