Great video! Only comment I can think of is the Tag Names, instead of removing the space between words, simply put an underscore. In this video, STARTBUTTON would be START_BUTTON. I like the tagging as I find it easier to keep up with chaos. Great video as always.
Hey! great videos thanks for the help: Quick/long question, have you ever been in this situation below? HMI NV2 HG1F that is connected by RS232 one day just fails diagnostics when trying to do the comms testing on port Serial 1 which is literally connected directly to IDEC PLC FC5A-C24R2X using an original cable rs232 to mini din 8 pin (FC4A-KC1CA-12) I think that the serial port in HMI went bad, when we plug a tester in the Serial 1 port, lights in rs232 tester show very very dimmed out. Was thinking... what if I just get the RS285 Version of HMI NV2 HG1F and also get the adapter IDEC FC4A-PC3 to put in in the PLC and then either re-design the HMI screen from scratch or try to upload HMI project from busted RS232 HMI kind, and then download it to the HMI RS285 Kind but change the settings in the communication so i can download it into the replacement HMI, because the back up from the upload would retain the settings of the RS232 HMI kind and its comms settings. Also, not sure if PLC would get pissed about having a different port that connects to HMI etc... and now the program doesn’t work or something. HMI normally tells PLC ON/OFF and Remote ON. Those are the main buttons to press.
Sorry friend, there is something that is not clear to me, can I establish communication between windLDR and NV4 without having physical equipment to check the operation of the PLC program and the HMI program?
Don't suppose you're still answering questions regarding the IDEC HMI Web Editor? Me and my coworkers are a little stumped by it. You've clearly had some experience and we could use some help.
@@huntxtrm so the short version goes like this. We are trying to use the FC6A Series with an HMI module at a clients pump station. We used the WindLDR software to build the ladder logic and used its Web Page Editor to create a simple interface for them to use on a browser. We can run a Simulation, open the Viewer on the computers browser, and see that all the data on the HMI synchs with the ladder logic. Our issue is that when we click "Monitor" the data doesn't synch like it does in the simulation and we can't figure out why. You seem to know how at least from the videos me and my team have watched, when IDEC doesn't even have any thorough info out there on it. So just 2 questions: 1 - How do we get data to transfer in Monitor Mode? and 2 - Can we control the HMI from a browser on a computer that doesn't have the software installed. Any info you've got beats what IDEC can supply us with so we appreciate anything even if it's a guess.
@@landonmckinley1502 first, sorry it has taken so long to reply been realy busy starting up an electrical contracting company. You should be able to access via the ip address. You will need to set up port forwarding in the LAN the HMI is connected on. Shoot me an email, and I will try and help sort it out. Time permitting of course. RTriggs@SolarTechElectricServices.com.
Am using NV4 I want to know how can I program NUMBER on the screen it's like indicator number I done the program on the PLC but I want to know how can I do that on NV4 I know how to use Nv4 the Number change on the screen from 1 to 10 by the interial of the plc I already done the Plc program it's for the elevator screen floor level screen indicator
You could use text over the button. Use the "trigger condition" of the text to make it visible when a certain condition is met. So, if say you are at the floor level 2 sensor, that condition is met, an the "2" is visible over the indicator light. If thats not what you are trying to do, please explain more. Thanks for watching.

@@huntxtrm we were able to finally pull the info out of someone from IDEC thankfully, but we appreciate the help regardless.

I am making a quick video for you, If this is not what you are wanting let me know. It will be labeled "Trigger Conditions"
@@huntxtrm thx very much for your help
