Using the DP 610 TM

[bgtwuk]

Hi Gents

Has anyone been successful loading an Old 610 program into the new TM series...

Using the lg file...

Looking for pointers....

Thanks up front

It's easy.  You need to change the hardware to the TM hardware for your Display in Guide and then recompile the program.

Thanx

I tried that but had to reload all my screen pages , etc.

My can messages to display seemed to not show up at my enable areas page.

DP610TM is much faster than DP610.
So control the loop time.
If it was 1ms at DP610, it is not really 1ms, perhaps it is 20 or 30ms.
So it is better to set loop time to 30ms for example, to make DP610TM as slow as the old DP610.

Thanks for that, but where do I find it?

Not on config page.

Inputs/OS/ExecTimeOut

Loop-Time is a very, very important parameter!!!
I suggest, to set it bigger than the maximem ExecTime.

If Loop Time is too small , you risk unexpected behavior.
10ms is very fast,
Loop Time of DP610TM is in our application 50ms - fast enough.

You can measure max. loop time on this way:
(see picture)

bgtwuk, loop time is set with the hardware OS.ExecTimeOut parameter.  Have a look at page 10 of the DP610TM API doc, then set up the Service Tool to monitor ExecTime, ExecTimeWork, ExecTimeAppl, and ExecTimeGraph.  It will give you a good understanding of what the screen is busy doing.  You may be surprised to find how much time is spent updating the screen versus any i/o, which is important if you connected any expansion i/o to the display.

I usually make a NV parameter for setting the ExecTimeOut, and put it in the OS Outputs page, as shown in the attached image.

Play with ExecTimeOut and watch what happens with the measured Exec* parameters.

Now that I have the hardware, (DP610 TM, 1115 3502) it seems that I do not have a file (v100) to use for it.

The read me files suggest it is included but does not load it into hardware folder..

DP6xxTMDOC_70150180v100.hwd
DP610LX_70059414v180.HWD
DP610LX_lg_70060406v180.HWD

DP610TM not DP610LX you need!

You find it here:

DP610TM HWD Files (.PAC 12.0 MB)

[bgtwuk]

Yes that is the one I was using.

Are you sure?

It is "TM" not "LX" and the version is v120, not v100 !!!

I think, you have clicked the false files for download. Please download the TM-files!
