Modbus more Inputs? was created by Aciera
I've got a machine panel connected via modbus to classicladder where I have used up all binary variables %B0 to %B14. Is there a way to add more variables?

Thanks

this seams to be on HEX limitation
as modbus is a simple serial why dont you write a COMP for your panel that you can set all pins in HAL
or even as a PYthon file a given advance you can have as many halpins to your comp as you need
and can easy connect as a standard HAL command with IO logic

linuxcnc.org/docs/2.7/html/ladder/classi...dder.html#_variables

There are actually 20 bits be default, but you can change that when you load the realtime component of classicladder.

I'll add that unfortunately the status window only shows 15 bits even if there are more.

I'm still a beginner here. So I have no clue what a comp is...
