I've been watching all of your Beckhoff videos.
They are very helpful!! Very good instruction and your English is very good!
Could you do a video on setting up an Alarm Banner and an Alarm management screen in TF1800?
I know they have tools in TE2000 but I don't see an easy way to handle alarms in TF1800.
Thanks!!

[@electricalautomation]

Glad you like them! The 'alarm message, banner, management' are complex in the PLC HMI. That idea is similar as LEGO, means that the 'message' is the string you have to use your logic to write and do FIFO, it is so tough for the new leaner. That is one of the key reason I don't have plan to show it. Unless you can find some existing projects or template from some vendors. Staring from the scratch is difficult. If you are doing a project rather than a signal standalone machine, I would recommend you consider TwinCAT HMI (not this TF1800 PLC HMI) or other brand panel HMI.

Hi thank you so much for your videos. Any idea on how to browse an NC file instead of write the NC file's name manually in a text input ? (gcode execution using Twincat NCI need an NC file as input). Thanks !

[@electricalautomation]

The TwinCAT can automatically show the full name when you type in the variable names. Or you could use variable assistant.

Hello sir are you have any experience for showing eventlogger in plc hmi or create alarm history tablet in plchmi?

[@electricalautomation]

It is not easy to use eventlogger, you'd better contact Beckhoff support

[@luiggitello8546]

You are great! Any shortcuts to change the format of the date from YEAR-MONTH-DAY to DAY-MONTH-YEAR?

[@electricalautomation]

I can not remember at top of head. May be check the online help of Beckhoff Infosys.

How to show visualization in full screen in twincat 3? I have done in twincat 2.

[@electricalautomation]

The file Tc3PlcHmi.exe works for the full size screen if you are using TF1800 license and using Visualization manager. For the specific screen, you can set the 'size mode' to 'Specified' at the 'Visualization '. More details, I can not remember clearly, you need to do some search in the manual Beckhoff online support.

I have problems with my System (PRG) to go online. Do you know what could be the cause?

[@electricalautomation]

You need to use your MAIN PRG to call your own PRG

Of course! I got it solved now. Thank you!

[@baihaocai3320]

Hello Sir, I don’t know why but I got 1970-01-01 as system date and not the current date. Do you have a idea? Thanks

[@electricalautomation]

Please check your TwinCAT computer, if your computer time is 1970-01-01 after cycle power or power down, may be your computer BIOS battery is dead.
