I am setting up a system to monitor the efficiency of our welding robots. We are using an AD 205/260 PLC to gather inputs from the robots and then output result to an LED display board. I am having a little trouble with the VPRINT and PRINTV instructions while attempting to write ASCII out to the display. Does anyone have a piece of example code of something similar to this that they would be willing to share? Or, could anyone point me in the right direction. All I have to go on is the 205 user’s manual, which gives an example with little detail. Thanks Brad Trotter
