Nice explanation Tim. My first PLC was an Allen Bradly processor called "PLC" in 1984. Then to PLC-2, then SLC-500, PLC-5, and now Control Logix. This little Micro 800 is neater than spit! Keep em coming ang I' think of some more questions. Thank you! Greg Myers
Thanx thats what I needed to do today. So I used this in my project. I actually needed to change the elapsed time to a later time when a button on HMI is pressed. Still not sure how to do it. I have a TON timer preset to 5min. and continuously running and resetting itself. But when a button on HMI is pressed I need to set the timer to 4:55, so that the timer will have only 5 sec left before an event triggers. So its basically to fast forward the timer so an event can be triggered quickly. Marinus
Hi Tim, your content has been very helpful, best yet. I am trying to set up a RTC to control a pump exercise. I have a Micro 850 and want to to run a fire pump for 5 minutes once a month on the 1st day of the month, do you have any videos on this code? Thanks again for a great tutorial.
Hello Tim. Thank you for all the hard work you put into these instructions they are amazingly helpful. I have run into an issue that I can't find an answer to. When I use an hmi timer setup like you have demonstrated when I loose power I loose all settings made through the hmi. Can you point me to the right direction to solve this?
Hi Tim thanx a lot for your videos sure helps a lot on ccw. This videos helps a lot with the next steps to become a plc programmer. im new to studio 5000 and ccw. and hmi programming. How dou you give that numeric entry a name on the hmi. for example motor run time or mixer run time. it might be a stupid question
@@TimWilborne Thanx a lot Tim. to update the timer from the hmi is it only possible in seconds or can it be done in minuts on hmi as well ? Realy enjoy your videos and it helps a lot. i want to do plc lessons but im a little bit far from us.
good morning Mr. Tim Wilborne, I need help reading Modbus data from a "Novus fieldlogger", for temperature zone control; how do i read data from this novus in modbus tcp ethernet? Rondineli santos
Tim Wilborne If i remember correctly, the major drawback was not being able to make changes online, and the simulator’s capabilities being limited. Lastly, just to be sure, does the standard edition impose any restrictions on the configuration and programming of PanelView HMIs?
Thanks for the video Tim! Can't access .PT (pre) same as RSLOGIX5000 (directly). Pre must be a variable, duh. Help files don't explain this (that I've found).
Hey Tim. I'm having a scaling issue with CCW. Some of the text gets cut off and it makes it hard to navigate. I tried unistalling and reinstalling. Any ideas ?
Hi Justin. Yes, I've had that issue as well. Right click your CCW icon and go to properties. Then go to the Compatibility tab and find the DPI button. Play with the settings on it. One of those fixes it. I should do a video on that.
@@TimWilborne thank you Tim! I played around with the DPI settings and turned off and auto a DPI setting and now it works. Thank God. I couldn't configure my PV800 because of the scaling issue. Also want to let you know your videos changed my life. I just got the job offer to be the control specialist for Hershey, and I learned most of my knowledge through your videos and literature I bought. I also bought a bunch of equipment to practice on but it was all worth it. I passed a 200 question PLC assessment test to get the job offer, once again. Thank you for everything you do.
@@justinpuzak2558 That is great news Justin. Hershey probably has a training budget, if you get the opportunity, let's see if we can get you into one of our classes. twcontrols.com/plc-lab
@@TimWilborne they do and I will definitely push the idea of joining one of your classes. I haven't got to work with studio 5000. Do you have a class for it ?
Hi Tim, I'm here again! I made this example, and every time I turn off the PLC and HMI, I need to put the value again! Am I doing it wrong or do I need another configuration? Thank you one more time!
Hi, I have a proble using micro 820, Power flex 525 and ihm panelview. I need access a parameter At inverter using IHM and Clp. But it is parameter step logic específic. Can you give me your Mail? Maybe you can make a vídeo to inscribes. Tks a Lot. Yours vídeos are exccelent

I may get a hold of a "PLC" just to hang on the wall 😁

Sounds like you need to set the ET elapsed time, the process would be the same, just point your tag to it on the Panelview.
This is great Tim, are you able to display the ET on the HMI?
Yes, you would do it the same way

Have a look at the RTC_READ and RTC_SET

When I use an hmi timer setup like you have demonstrated when I loose power I loose all settings made through the hmi. Can you point me to the right direction to solve this?
You need to check the retained column for the variables you want to remember during a power cycle. I have a video coming about that.
@@TimWilborne thank you I'll have to check the videos I haven't watched yet. It is in the ccw Playlist or a different one. Thank you again
@@thebeansayshello5192 There isn't currently one specifically addressing that. I do mention it in several videos but I don't remember which ones.
Great video, very helpful, thank you
You are welcome Ben!
Hi Tim, great video. What about changing a counter value thru the HMI?
The counter preset and count are both DINTs so just assign you data type accordingly. I'll put that on the list to make a video about.
I tried using a variable tag for a CTU preset and it didn't work. Can't set a value??
Thanks a lot Tim
You are very welcome

Not a stupid question Henry. Add a separate text box and place it above or beside it.

Very good it helped me a lot
That's great to hear!
you should be compensated by AB you are really good.
Gad you think so!
Yet again, Tim Wilborne FTW!

What license type are you using CCW developer edition? Also in your opinion, which one is the most cost effective for occasional projects?
For an occasional project, the free Standard version of Connected Components Workbench will work just fine.

No restrictions on HMI programming. I only recently installed a developer licenses, mainly because I'm getting ready to do some online edit videos.

What PLC are you using?
@@TimWilborne Micro 850, and HMI PV 800
Hi Tim! It was a matter of inserting the TAG also in the tag indicator. Thank you very much for your attention!
Glad to hear you found it!
to visualize the real elapsed value how can I do it I hope you can help me thanks
Same way, just select the ET.
Is it possible to configure IFM IO-Link Master with Micro850 ?
I haven't ever worked with that combination.

Make a program I.e single push button on off a motor.
