output register (1040) over Modbus and VB

[emulein]

Hi all,

it´s my first post on the Forum, up to now I had in each case along-read.
To my person, I am German and am very bad with my English.
I am 36 years old and my hobby am cnc and electric.
I use a self-built modboard for mach3mill (of base the Homannboard) and have there a problem.
If I want to use the digital ones of digital-out´s  in a macro, I make with e.g. “aktivateSignal (output1)”
Then is in the address 1040 (Peter´s Protocol) bits 3 set (low byte of the integer Variable).
It possible also the upper bits (8-15) in the address is to be used 1040?.
I have it with aktivateSignal (output10) tried however without success.
I need this to use more as 8 LED on my MPG.
Is this possible, if how??

I hope it know which I write here and can help me.

thanks many !!!!

Are you using the ModIO plugin? Or are you doing this in VB?

Hi Brian,

I have with VB (macropump.m1s) tried.
The LCD output (20x4) the MPG and
the lower 8 Bit´s of the Adress 1040
are working correctly. The Macrocode for
the LCD is from the ModIO script (Peter´s Board)

thanks for helping

I think you would be better off to use the plugin that John P did.. Pete H should have a copy, John did a GREAT job on it!

Hi Brain,

with the Modbus Plugin too heavy for me, no function.
there is a documentation there ?
there is to make no possibility over VB?, is better for me.

John P. did a macro pump on the wiki to run a modio... did you have a look at that?

To get the plugIn you will have to mail Peter H. ... I don't have a copy, I just know there was one done.
