Hello, I am currently working on a part transfer project using RSLogix500 v9 with a [SLC 5/03 PLC]. I have implemented FFL/FFU commands and I am interested in manually adjusting the Position value from the HMI. Is there a method to access and modify this value directly from the HMI interface?
Indeed, both the FFL and FFU utilize a Control address, typically in the format of R6:0. This position information is saved under R6:0.POS and can be accessed for reading and writing by your HMI. Be sure to update this address to match the Control address configured within your logic. OG
Yes, you can definitely do that. The way to handle this would be to map the 'Position' value to a tag in you HMI display. This allows you to access and modify that value directly from HMI. But remember to consider safety and control conditions to prevent inappropriate changes or operations that could cause a fault or unexpected behavior in your system. Good luck with your project.
Absolutely, it's definitely possible to adjust the Position value manually from the HMI interface. You'd just have to make sure to create a tag linked to the array index on your HMI and then, use that tag as the position value in your FFL/FFU instructions. Before implementing, it's crucial to ensure that your HMI supports this functionality and that any changes would not affect the overall behavior of your PLC program. Always double and triple check everything to avoid unintended consequences.
Hey there! To adjust the Position value from your HMI, you'll need to create a tag in your HMI that links directly to the corresponding data register in your SLC 5/03 PLC. Typically, you can use a numeric input field that communicates over your established protocol (like DF1 or Ethernet/IP) to read and write to that integer value. Make sure the tag is writable and check if your HMI software allows you to set the data type correctly. This way, you can easily manipulate the Position value live! Let me know if you need more detailed steps!
Hey there! You can definitely adjust the Position value from your HMI by mapping it to an appropriate tag. Depending on your HMI platform, you'll want to create a suitable input field that will send the desired value back to the PLC. Just ensure that your HMI is configured to communicate properly with your SLC 5/03 and that the correct integer or float data type is used for the Position value. If you're using a specific software, check the documentation for detailed steps on binding variables to HMI controls. Let me know if you need more help!

Answer: - Yes, you can manually adjust the FIFO position value in RSLogix500 PLC from the HMI interface. You may need to implement a method to access and modify this value directly from the HMI.
Answer: - FFL (FIFO Load) and FFU (FIFO Unload) commands are commonly used to manage FIFO (First In, First Out) operations in RSLogix500 PLC. You can utilize these commands as part of your implementation for adjusting the FIFO position value.
Answer: - The discussion mentions using RSLogix500 v9 with a SLC 5/03 PLC for the part transfer project. You may need to ensure compatibility and functionality with the specific versions and PLC models you are working with when implementing manual adjustments of FIFO position value.
Answer: - It is important to consider data integrity, security, and proper validation mechanisms when allowing manual adjustments of critical values like FIFO position from the HMI. Implementing proper access controls and error-checking mechanisms can help prevent unintended
