Denford Triac Carousel ATC

[cncsnw]

For each numeric value you want to substitute (each variable following the quoted string), you need to include a "%f" token in the quoted string. The "%f" gets replaced with the numeric value.

Code: Select all

#155 = FIX[6*9/13]*10+[6*9]%13
#100 = 0
M225 #100 "The calculated value in 155 is %f" #155

Thanks. I saw similar but couldnt work out the format.

In terms of the Macro, it now basically works for FWD. I had to get the tool count / geneva wheel debounce timing spot on.

I still don't know how to use the Eth1616 outputs via a Macro and frankly, I regret suggesting Centroid for this retrofit as its taken me longer to get the ATC working than doing the rest of the retrofit and now we have a board basically not being used (I had assumed we needed more inputs / outputs) and it might be useful for other purposes (probes etc) but a waste.

Ill paste the code when done so others can a)use it if needed and b)take a laugh at the ghetto method of doing it.

;ETH1616 OUTPUTS 1-16
IF M94M95111_SV THEN (M94M95111)
IF M94M95112_SV THEN (M94M95112)
IF M94M95113_SV THEN (M94M95113)
.....

M94 /111 turns Output 1 on the 1616 on, M95 /111 off ect...

Thanks. That gets defined in the .src or M6 Macro file itself?

[suntravel]

First part is from your PLC, the 1616 is there already defined.

M94 /111 will work in MDI or in a macro.

Thanks. Ill try that again. Im sure I had tried it before and didnt get output.

Hi, tried this. No outputs turn on. Any ideas?

[cncsnw]

Impossible to say without seeing your current Report.

I use only the outputs from my 1616 and none off the acorn. Here is my mfunc6 and wizard list. Example M94 /62 turns on output2 (not to be confused with OUT2)

Greg, what tells you his outputs are already mapped?

I have not seen a report from him since June 19th, at which time he did not have any of the "M94M951xx" tokens assigned to any of the outputs.
