Dear Sur:

I download PackMLV4.zip, but can not find " Copy of PackML_State_Chart.lvsc"

, PackML.test.vi and ...

The errors seen in loading the project have been fixed - this was due to some un-used VI's referenced in the project.

Version 4.1 of the code has been uploaded:

The OMAC Packaging Machine Language V3.0 Mode & States Definition Document contains a description of the state machine you define in your reference application.

It states in Table 1 that the Resetting state establishes the initial state of the machine. Your controller starts in the Idle wait state and could result in a machine operating before it is safe to do so.

Is there something in the full specification that contradicts this interpretation?

[MarcoPolo5]

I agree that the starting state should be "Resetting" - ensuring that the machine is in a stafe state on startup.

A simple modification of the statechart corrects this (see red circle) - this will make the initial state the Resetting state vs the Idle state:

Thank-you for pointing out this oversight

I will try to include this in the next version of the code

There seems to be no files in the compressed "packml_v5_1.zip " file. Can someone please fix this.

Thanks

Hey,

I just tried the download and it worked for me.  Do you have a firewall or something that might strip .zip files?
