We're On Line !!

Thanks to a user (Pea Ell Sea) on the Siemens support forum I've found that the value for parameter #5010  needs to be 00000100. This value of 4  brings up "PLC-Prog" on the Sinumerik 820T input screen and the STEP5 program goes 'online' and reports PLC Type as S5 135 PLC.

One hurdle surmounted after days of trying  :ddb:

The next mountain to climb is to learn more about STEP5, so that I can have a look at the PLC program and hopefully see things in real time.

Decided not to plough on immediately in case I break something - take the dogs for a walk and have a good think then lots of  :coffee:

OH, happy day!

Very good. S5-135 CPU was breifly pretty familiar to me. We had to use because it had some math functions for I/O that cheper models were lacking. If I remember right, there were few versions of it. Ladder and all that is all standard, fun starts with time-base functions and math, it was very feasible to have some programs on short time base and then push some longer loop.

Oh EXCELLENT Pekka, I now appoint you the official resident expert - can I down load your brain please  :lol:

PekkaNF:
Uuh...if I remember anything. I'm trying to learn how to weld. This should sort it out.

awemawson:
I hope you're not using that Single Malt for weld preparation  :lol:
