mshaver Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Can I set the value of Gate1.Chan[j].{ElementName} from the IDE? Or just from programs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 You can set these elements both from within a program/plc as well as from the terminal. Just remember to set Sys.WpKey to $aaaaaaaa prior to writing to the elements. Regards, Felix Can I set the value of Gate1.Chan[j].{ElementName} from the IDE? Or just from programs?

mshaver Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 OK, I should have asked the question differently. I know that I can write to these variables using the IDE as a terminal just as I can from a Telnet session. I'm asking a different question. I can set up motors, coord systems, etc., in the IDE by clicking on Delta Tau > Configure > Setup Variables. I'm asking if there is a similar utility for setting values for the sundry Gate1.Chan[j].{ElementName} items from the IDE and then downloading them? Is this what system setup does?

steve.milici Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 The "System Setup" tool is the typical method used. There are some gate structures that are outside the scope of that tool and these would be setup manually through the terminal or through a configuration download.

Omron Forums Support Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 The Setup Variables screen should be able to modify Gate1 parameters also. I am not sure, but this might be a feature only of the newest IDE (1.6). Note that settings Sys.WpKey=$AAAAAAAA is only necessary for changing Gate3 parameters, not Gate1, Gate2, or GateIo.
