adressing
« on: July 02, 2014, 10:33:16 AM »
Hey guys,

I am completely new to PLC in the last few months. I am trying to setup this HMI and having some issues.

I am using a micrologix 1100 and rslogix 500.

I have some inputs I am trying to make into buttons on the HMI.

I have an e-stop and a power on switch. how would I enter the addresses for these into the HMI?

Is there a manual for this?

your help is very appreciated, and if you need any more info from me I will provide it!

You will not be able to change input addresses with the HMI. You will need to use bit addresses such as B3/0. If you try to use a address such as I:0/0, then HMI will write to it, but the scan of the PLC will quickly over write the value based on the state of the physical input.

Ron Beaufort explains this very will in his video series. If you search YouTube for PLC Training, you will find his videos.
