Possible errors in the example

Top  Previous  Next

 

Nothing happens:

         Did you consider the notification of changes at the address table?

         Did you start the simulation? (green LED in the lower left)

         Did you transmit the program into the PLC)

         Did you create the program as described?

         If you have found and fixed an error in the PLC-program, then you have to retransmit the program!

 

The HotSpot of the linear mover is moving but the box does not move:

 You did not fix the box to linear mover.

 Open the element tree and move the box with the mouse onto the linear mover

 

A box cannot reach a limit switch:

 Stop the simulation by clicking the symbol or

 click anywhere on the white of the window with the right mouse button.

 Catch the limit switch with the mouse (keep pressing the left mouse button) and move it to the desired position.

 

A limit switch moves together with the box and so it can never be reached:

 You have fixed the limit switch to the box or the linear mover by accident.

 Open the edit mask of the limit switch, and choose the origin as Father,

 so the limit switch is fixed to the origin, which cannot be moved per definition.

 

The box covers a limit switch, but this one does not turn red:

 The limit switch does not know that it shall be activated by the box;

 open the edit mask of the limit switch and select the box out of the selection list

 which will appear if you click the arrow next to the field Master.

 

The box covers a limit switch, this one turns red, but the box does not turn back:

 Probably you made a mistake in the program. Check:

 A 0.0 is set from E 0.2 or E 0.4
 A 0.0 is reset from E 0.3
 A 0.1 is set from E 0.3
 A 0.1 is reset von E 0.2

 If you have found and fixed an error in the PLC-program, then you have to retransmit the program!
