Hi! I was thinking about (when i broke one of those ENC28J60 ethernet controllers) that could the initialize macro have some kind of timeout so the program doesn't jam when it cannot initialize the ENC28J60 if controller has blown? Now it seems to wait for answer until worlds end... :D (12V serial l...

Hi! Hardware uart channel 1 seems to be messed up, when trying to compile for hardware uart, demands remapping of pins (they are hw channel in C6, C7) and the log returns errors.

Hi! There is something weird on the patch distribution... When i open page from flowcode, i get notification that i have to download the whole program: update1.PNG And from http://www.matrixtsl.com/flowcode/download/ i can get the smaller patch file for 7.2.1.4: update2.PNG Which one should be used?...

Hi Nasim!



When attaching a attachment, you have to remeber to click on the add file button on the upload attachment tab.

Heres another file that has same behavior. When step into (F8) or simulate (F5) is pressed, FC7 crashes. If target is changed to 16F877 it works fine. So it seems the 16F8877 is messed up somehow?

Have you set up the register counts for coils and analog?
FC 7 is smart and the code will answer "Illegal data adress" if it has no corresponding registers set up on components properties for that function code.
4x registers are Holding registers.

Hi!

Just edited the first post a bit.

After a further look into this, seems that the 16F18877 target is somehow messed up (when change target to 16F877A, works fine)?

EDIT: Any news on this?

Take a look at this for v6: http://www.matrixtsl.com/wiki/index.php ... ra_Control

Or this for v7: http://www.matrixtsl.com/wikiv7/index.p ... ra_Control

I use Norton and have not noticed this behavior, but i can keep eye on my system if i find similar symptoms.
My computer might be too beefy so haven't noticed

Do you happen to have the compress files active on C drive? That could cause problems... (The ratio text tells that it might be a case)

Hi! I was having some ideastorming going on and when i tried to simulate following, Flowcode just crashed... Visual Studio just in time debugger tolds me that an unhandled win32 exeption happened... Heres a whole debug session output dump when starting FC7 with VisualStudio Community 2015 debugger.....

I personally have changed my mind and moved to Altium CircuitStudio after Autodesk announced that they have aquired Eagle. Im not just happy about the new licensing system and as i was middle of need to change my licenses to be commerial, i bought Altium... Altium support team has been pretty easy t...

HI! Are you trying to program directly using the .fcfx file on the dataman or the .hex file? In the file you attached i see you load dataman with the Flowcode fcfx file....?

If the framer could be set on the fly, the speed could also be set on the fly maybe?

If you have lots of variables to watch on simulation, and list does not fit the screen: the list seems to be not scrollable, even though it is (there is no indication or scroll arrows). Dont know about you but i mostly use touchpad and i hate the scroll wheel, so on screen button to use would be cle...

Sorry for the late reply I thought I had already given the feedback.

Hi, for some reason your earlier message was not showing up on waiting for moderation. Sorry for inconvience it might have caused.

Oh it could be the timeout when no correct answer is received, on some systems those are very long... Hope Matrix gets the response fixed asap so you can get it working correctly!

What kind of diagnostics the plc runs on serial line? Does it do modbus diagnostic command to your DIY modbus display or does it use some kind of REPORT-SLAVE-ID (command 17) as diagnostics??

Hi! Sorry, did not notice you had allready shown that the response is wrong! It seems that the modbus slave is answering in wrong format to the master... I built your system in eblocs friendly way to my desk and tested out with RS485 using modbus poll program: I write 0x0032 to register 40007 and 0x...

Is the slave answering right ?

Hi!
This new one has problems when trying to create new project with it:

Oh, it was older version on that specific computer...
BUT: The 16F18877 seems to be messed up in chip view? (It has 40 pins, Flowcode shows it with 31 pins?)

This bothers me as datasheet states that the LIN is included in Comms pack A... I'll double check this when i get to my computer if nobody else is faster...

Hi! Can the programs created to the 16F877 be loaded to the 16F18877 replacement or has anyone here tried it? Is there maybe support upcoming to the Flowcode for the 16F18xxx range? The 16F877/877A is now NRFND... Just making sure the path is it okay to put those pin-to-pin compatible ones there at ...
