    I am not sure what you mean by your question. The Image Register exists for all the X, Y, WX, WY, but the GUI itself, in terms of emulating discrete inputs and outputs, and analog inputs and outputs, are fixed in the GUI.

     

    What exactly are you wanting to do?

    You caught the point. The GUI restricts to 16 X,Y. Is there a way (command line ) that allows me more IO's? Please, point me to the tutorials on that.

    Rather than trying to expand the Simulator GUI use Data Tables in the main programming package. In the header of the simulator under SIM uncheck 'Enable Inputs'. Then your data table of inputs can be used to turn them On/Off. This also allows you to target inputs as outputs in your program.

     

    To use this feature I set up a subroutine which turned the inputs On/Off based on current outputs and other appropriate logic to simulate machine operations. Of course this is removed or disabled when running the program on an actual CPU..

    Thank you for guidance. It really helped!!

    • HOST_franji1 (HOST Engineering)

      How did it help? Let us know what you are wanting to do and we can probably help more!

    Ok. I was heating the ceiling in the GUI of 16 Xs. With the Data View, this ceiling is lifted.

    • HOST_franji1 (HOST Engineering)

      Yes, since there is no "module" for X16 and higher, you can actually set them via Data View (or any other mechanism, even logic).

    Please elaborate: (or any other mechanism, even logic).!!

     

    I didn't know of other mechanism including logic. Point me to their tutorials. Thanks

      Communications in general.

       

      An HMI (C-more) could write to X16. Another Do-more PLC can have a WX - Do-more Network Write instruction to write to your Do-more PLC and write a value to X16. Normally you do not write to X bits, but definitely C bits.

    If simulating your machine is not needed then ignore the second paragraph of my reply.
