ABB Word mapping

2 years ago • updated 2 years ago • 2

Hello,

A small time ago we had a conversation about adding bytes into the device mapping of ABB, now i needs words (16bits).

We are trying to get the Word option to work as well, we have changed the code to the following:

Only thing we are not sure about is the line with accessor.Write(posheader, (byte) 10).

Is this correct or should we change it?

Sorry for the formatting, couldn't find the code button.

if (signal.OriginDataType.ToUpper() == "BYTE")

{

if (signal.GetType() == typeof(PLCInputInt) || signal.GetType() == typeof(PLCOutputInt))

{

if (lastbit)

posmemory = posmemory + 1;

bit = 0;

shm.bit = 0;

lastbit = false;

signal.Comment = $"M{posmemory}";

accessor.Write(posheader, (byte) 8);

shm.type = SIGNALTYPE.BYTE;

posmemory = posmemory + 1;

}

else if (signal.OriginDataType.ToUpper() == "WORD")

{

if (signal.GetType() == typeof(PLCInputInt) || signal.GetType() == typeof(PLCOutputInt))

{

if (lastbit)

posmemory = posmemory + 1;

bit = 0;

shm.bit = 0;

lastbit = false;

signal.Comment = $"M{posmemory}";

accessor.Write(posheader, (byte) 10);

shm.type = SIGNALTYPE.WORD;

posmemory = posmemory + 2;

}

else

{ if (signal.GetType() == typeof(PLCInputInt) || signal.GetType() == typeof(PLCOutputInt))

{

if (lastbit)

posmemory = posmemory + 1;

bit = 0;

shm.bit = 0;

lastbit = false;

signal.Comment = $"M{posmemory}";

accessor.Write(posheader, (byte) 10);

shm.type = SIGNALTYPE.INT;

posmemory = posmemory + 4;

}

}

Sorry if you saw my answer on the last message, but i thought it would be good to make a new topic!

I will add this in one of the next release. For Words you need to write a 9 as Type ID.

I Change Global functions "public static List GetGroups()" and "GetAllWithGroup(string group)" But, In corpasion it was witout differences.

I tried to build with differed API settings .NET 2.0 ant .NET 4.x

Probably there is probably problem with PREspective.dll, that doesn't properly connected to Unity, but I am not sure.

Do anybody has an idea ? thank you all.

You have PREspective in your project (Prespective is another Digital Twin product). It is not a part of Game4Automation which is causing your problems. Please delete everything of Prespective or start with an empty project.

Device Mapping in ABB

2 years ago • updated 2 years ago • 14

Hello,

I am working on connecting ABB robotstudio to game4automation, and I have a question about the device mapping. I have device mappings that go to +-120, How can I make this in robotstudio? I can only see it go up to 9 and then it becomes 1,1, 1,2 etc, does this count as 11,12 etc?

Another question, Do I have to create empties in robotstudio for every missing device map? I saw the page but didnt understand why you had to create that much empties.

Please try do do this. I am not able to test because currently I have not an ABB Robotstudio with your configuration. Hope it works.

Add Byte to Origin Data Type

and replace Line 167 following in ABBRobotStudioInterface by this:

if (signal.OriginDataType.ToUpper() != "BYTE")
{
    if (signal.GetType() == typeof(PLCInputInt) || signal.GetType() == typeof(PLCOutputInt))
    {
        if (lastbit)
            posmemory = posmemory + 1;
        bit = 0;
        shm.bit = 0;
        lastbit = false;
        signal.Comment = $"MD{posmemory}";
        accessor.Write(posheader, (byte) 10);
        shm.type = SIGNALTYPE.INT;
        posmemory = posmemory + 4;
    }
}
else
{ if (signal.GetType() == typeof(PLCInputInt) || signal.GetType() == typeof(PLCOutputInt))
    {
        if (lastbit)
            posmemory = posmemory + 1;
        bit = 0;
        shm.bit = 0;
        lastbit = false;
        signal.Comment = $"M{posmemory}";
        accessor.Write(posheader, (byte) 8);
        shm.type = SIGNALTYPE.BYTE;
        posmemory = posmemory + 1;
    }

game4automation Starter Edition Questions

2 years ago • updated by 2 years ago • 1

Hi Thomas, I'm having a problem with game4automation Starter Edition. After I connect to the S7-1200 and import the .sdf file, but the connection icon is gray, not colored as in the video, but I am following the video, is the starter version supporting the communication of the S7-1200? And how do I complete the communication, I have been worried about this for several days.I would very much like to have your help.

Hard to say what your problem is. Yes for sure, Starter is supporting S7 interface.

Is it an input or an output what you would like to use. Please make sure, that both are well outside the existing hardware IO adresses, otherwise the hardware status could overwrite the signals from the G4A S7 interface. Do you get any error messages in the console log. Please also check that your PLC is configured like described here:

Runtime UI

I love this asset, it's awesome, however, I want to show the number range slider in the runtime inspector. I have seen that the Runtime Inspector & Hierarchy has updated and it can show the number range slider in the inspector, so could you update the runtime UI?

You could youse PLCSIM Advanced or PLCSIM with NetToPLCSim (https://mirror-networking.com/docs/).

Second solution should work but it is not officially supported.

PLCSIM interface

3 years ago • updated 3 years ago • 7

It is normal that the connection between PLCSIM interface and PLCSIM advanced is hard to connect?

The first connection work each time when I click play in Unity. However the next connection is realy random and most of the time it is not easy to connect. I have to restrat Unity or the PC.

Yes, Just checked the PLCSIM Advanced interface intensively yesterday and I was not able to see any connection problems. If you still have problems, please send us your PLCSIMAdvanced memory card content, the TIA Portal project and the full Unity project and I will check on my computer.
