The menus number 3, 4 and 5 are not critic for a very basic configuration. It's seems complicated but once you have done one the rest is easy. The F9 key allows you to visualize the hardware catalog with the associated code for each card type. You have to enter a code number at every position you have a card. In this one you have to describe the cards you have in your rack. More important is the 3-Inputs/outputs menu.
in 4 select is you want to use sfc language or just ladder language Once you've done this choices the software will ask you have to validate your configuration by pressing F9 key Then you can go out this menu and go to 1-Application, in this menu all you have to do is to give a name to your program. you can not use 32 bits memory cartridge with this range of plcs. This cartridge must be labelled 8-8, 16-8 or 32-8 the first figure is the one you select in the software (memory size), the second figure (8) means you work with a 8 bits processor (TSX 27, 47 or 47-20). 1 Create a project 2 Open this project and create a new station by chosing tsx27-47 as type 3 Open PL7-2, go to 1-Configuration, the software must tell you the memory is not executable 4 Go to 0-Initialization memory, in 0 choose 47 processor by F2 key in 1 choose your processor version with F1 key, this version should be on the processor label in 2 choose your memory size, this point is very important cause you must have a cartridge memory into the processor. Here are the steps to create a project with a TSX 4712, I assume you work with XTEL V6 under OS/2 Warp. So as I said before, if the mem led is lighted that means your processor is empty so there's no need to erase the memory. Hi, Sorry for the delay but I've been busy.
