I am currently looking to use a RS485 comms interface on one of my projects using the MODBUS RTU Protocol. Has ony one dabbled with this and had success ? as there is a wealth of infomation out there and i am a bit confused now and looking for some advice. The master side of things is ok as we have ...

Sorry if this is in the incorrect section as i cannot find the original post. Somebody wanted a negative voltage rail this little ic is superb and it's less than a quid RS and farnell sell it it only neads two external 10uf caps to work ( Max input volts 9Vdc tho ) http://www.national.com/mpf/LM/LMC...

hi, its called the road runner system from farnells RS sell one too Give you the RS ones as fanell site not working well today Pen :- http://uk.rs-online.com/web/search/searchBrowseAction.html?method=getProduct&R=1054626 Wire :- http://uk.rs-online.com/web/search/searchBrowseAction.html?method=getPr...

thanks for that ,
Got proper pics now
thats how i was doing it but i got confused adc(0) is AN12 and not AN0

working now

steve

RS Strike again !

Inside the bag are the wrong chips Lable on bag PIC 16F877 I/P
inside PIC16F877A I/P

Speaking to them today to try and sort it out

Ok have tried to do that if i right click on my slider ie AN12 and click on conections i get a drop down list of ADC0 - ADC7 so how and where do i connect my 9th analougue input (AN7) ? see attached screen dumps on the properties part of the adc bits i get a list of the 9 ADC channels i cannot apear...

all is working again now , haven't changed anything all is as before
so while it's working i am leaving it as is

thanks for your help guys

I have just installed flowcode v4.2 and the update to v4.3 onto my pc (new) having some problems with the programmer options if someone can point me the right direction when the installer ran i ticked use e-blocks programmer after the install i didn't get the driver instaler wizzard for some reason ...

Hi, Just read the above seams a very interesting project and would like to know how you get on. one comment if i may on your voltage module - ( Based upon uk regs ) UNDER NO Circumstances must your generator and mains supply be in paralell at any time you have to seek permission to do this and have ...

Thanks for that will pass that info on,

I informed you incorrectley on the Adams unit, Each thermocouple in fact has an address
which is accessed via modbus , Each card of 7 thermocouples is then downloaded in one go from the
assigned registers and sorted from there a card at a time

Steve

Hi Benj, yes look up tables are used in that system , I have just passed details of your MIAC Controller to our development manager , It looks good for a possible up coming project that is in the pipe line. The only drawback is that we may need 9 analog inputs Are the MIAC Controllers available sepe...

Hi Benj,

I have seen your MIAC device and it looks good,
but the the adams units offer more analoge inputs
we are using 2x at the moment with 127 thermocouple inputs on them . . . eeek


steve

Thanks for that will try that later, and let you know how i got on .
got pc issues at moment so might be back end of week

Thanks

steve

Thanks for that will try that later this week , if i do that and plug in my programmer how will flowcode know that i have plugged it in ?
as windows shouldn't do any thing

if nothing happens where do i go from there ?

was thinking about reinstalling VB and flowcode

steve

screen dumps show how i have them set up
an12 is conected to adc(12) so would that be ADC(0) in Flowcode ?

attached is my flowcode program . it may look nonsense but it's
a test program as i have made my own e block

its a PLC that is used for data logging applications and Industrial Automation

steve

i am using multiple Analog inputs on the above chip,
but when i go into " Call Component Macro " i can only see ADC(0) - ADC(8)
I am using ADC 9,10,11,12,13 see attached screen dump

Can somebody please advise

Just looking a the data sheet for the PIC16F887
at chapter 13.0 page 179 also table 3 on page 7

To use the master synchronous serial port (MSSP)
Are all the pins required ? I.E (NOT SS) ,SCK/SCL, SDI/SDA, SDO

As these conections are across two ports which makes things worse
