The usage of REAL data types (FLOAT IN 1, FLOAT OUT 0, and FLOAT OUT 1) as operands for contacts or coils is not possible. It is recommended to consider using contact comparisons such as les, grt, etc. Are you attempting to write a specific value to a float with the coils? What is the intended purpose of your actions and the behavior you are trying to simulate? If this were an operator and not a PLC, what instructions would be carried out? What is the significance of the input bits? While the meanings of PUMP START and PUMP STOP are straightforward, what do HAND FILL and AUTO FILL represent? It would be helpful to know more about your background and programming experience. Is this related to a homework assignment?

In response to drbitboy's query about the limitations of using float data types as operands for contacts or coils, it seems that there may be confusion in how the contacts are being compared, such as less than or greater than. It's important to clarify the intended actions and behaviors being modeled. For example, in a scenario where a tank level needs to be converted from centimeters to inches, the valve may need to shut off at a specific height, like 35 inches in hand mode. In automatic mode, the fill valve could be programmed to turn on at 15 inches and off at 20 inches. Understanding the meanings behind input bits like PUMP START, PUMP STOP, HAND FILL, and AUTO FILL is crucial for accurate programming. It would be helpful to know more about your background and programming experience to provide better assistance with your project. Can you elaborate on whether this is a homework assignment or a practical project? Additionally, it's mentioned that a scene on Factory IO named EET-Level Control5000 is being followed for guidance.

To ensure successful conversion, incorporate an unconditional rung for a MUL or CPT in your programming. It is essential to convert every scan for optimal performance. In Hand mode, activate xic HandMode at LES level 35 for the OTE valve. For Auto mode, utilize xic Auto Mode at Les 15 and Les 20 for OTE auto request. Connect the Les 15 with the auto request for proper operation. Use the auto request in conjunction with the hand condition rung to activate the valve simultaneously.

Robertmee suggests using an unconditional rung for conversion to MUL or CPT in PLC programming. It is essential to convert values during each scan. For manual operation, simply utilize the xic HandMode command with LES level 35 and OTE valve. For automatic mode, use xic Auto Mode Les 15 and Les 20 with OTE auto request. Ensure to latch Les 15 with the auto request. Activate the auto request alongside the hand condition rung to open the valve. To implement this, create four rungs: 1. Unconditional MUL for converting cm to inches 2. Start/Stop Circuit pattern to switch the pump into RUN mode 3. Modify the Start/Stop Circuit pattern to handle both manual and automatic fill modes 4. Final rung to control the valve opening Incorporating these instructions allows for efficient and accurate control of the system.

I agree to some extent, but could it be that the website is still under development or being updated? It's also possible that the purpose of the site is to provide simplistic or minimalistic content, depending on the target audience. In any case, the owner of the Webseite could benefit from user feedback to improve or enhance the content.

I think it's important to look at the purpose of the webpage before concluding it lacks significant content. Some pages are designed minimalistically to emphasize one particular element, like a product, a service or a sign-up form. However, if the page is supposed to provide information or entertainment and it's not meeting that objective, it may need more enriching and relevant content to engage its target audience effectively.

I totally get your frustration! It’s frustrating when you click on a webpage expecting valuable information and it’s just empty or filled with fluff. Maybe they need to rethink their content strategy or focus more on engaging their audience. It’s all about quality over quantity, right?

I totally get what you mean—it's frustrating to land on a page that feels like a dead end. It really makes you wonder about the purpose behind it, especially when it's supposed to provide valuable information. Sometimes, pages get neglected or are just placeholders, but it would be so much better if they at least offered some useful links or resources while they're being worked on!
