<s>[INST] Component PanelView to VFD I was told the Component PanelView can only communicate directly to a PowerFlex 4XX, no other drive. Has any one tried communicating directly to a drive with any luck? [/INST] I'm semi-successfully sending integers through modbus rtu via RS485 to Emerson Epsilon-P drives. Semi-successfully, because the Emerson drives can only receive data over the RS485. This causes the Panelview Component screen to report a communication error, even though the data successfully arrived at the Emerson drives. I'm using a PvC 300, which does not have an ethernet port. If I'd been able to use PvC 600, I could have used ethernet to connect the Emerson drives to the PvC600, used modbus TCP, and have MUCH more information, and have it flow both ways. \n </s>

<s>[INST] Dialogic DNA 3.3? Where can I get ahold of this software? I can't find it on the dialogic site, but this KB article says I need it. Suggested installation procedure for the Dialogic D/4PCI voice card. [/INST] Hey Justin, I've tried a deep search about it, but no way to find it out. The Support link at Dialogic is now changed (the one in the technote is broken), but also there there isn't a way to get the DNA....I think this is pretty old software (maybe obsolete, it was for Win NT / 2000 ?!) and the only way I see is to contact them directly to ask for it... :smileysurprised: Afraid not to be able to help you more... :smileysad: - fuzzy logic What an ordeal. I'll post this here so if somebody else has probelms with this very popular card ( 15 years ago) they may get through it. Dialogic no longer hosts or supports DNA 3.3; good luck getting the software from them. They did tell me that their newer DIVA software will not work with the card, so if you've downloaded and installed it, get rid of it because it will interfere with the card. I found the DNA software here: ftp.oaisys.com under the /pub/downloads/dialogic/legacy directory, just by manually combing their FTP site once I saw a link to the v5.1 software on their webpage. Lucky find. Once you download and install the v3.3 and 3.3sp1, you just need to run the diagnostics to make sure the card is good, and start the service. I ALSO had to get the Microsoft DAO 3.5 package, which is just as much a pain to find, as I was having this issue: KB 4518 Rockwell can't distribute this and I don't think it's included with RSView32. I was finally able to track it down on a 3rd party site. If you have or have heard of these cards, you might want to get this software and bank it. I've uploaded a torrent of the software; I'll seed it as long as my computer remains intact (not always that long, I tend to experiment too much). http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4949922 Well, TPB seems to be having technical difficulties. You can just get it from my FTP then - reaper.selfip.net, username: RAUser As a good and legitimate use for The Pirate Bay!

<s>[INST] 1768-M04SE KINETICS 6000 Has anyone ever heard of Kinetics 6000 losing its Home position which happens everyday ???? [/INST] Rodney, take a look to the following technotes, that may help to check the right configuration for your drive homing (KB notes are related to other motion sercos card... but it is the same principle also for your card) Aid 21590Aid 21828Aid 31045 Hope this helps... :smileywink: - fuzzy logic Hi Rodney Can you describe the problem you are facing in more detail? What is your axis configuration? - Linear - Rotary There are several explanations for this including hardware and software setup. First of all, what type of encoder did you order with your motors? There is an S type encoder which is a single-turn absolute encoder. Most people only use this encoder to achieve the high resolution feedback that it provides. The M type encoder is the multi-turn absolute encoder. Most people use this to be able to permanently hold a home position in software unless there is a mechanical change in the motor shaft to coupling. As far as software goes, you have to correctly choose the type of MAH (Motion Axis Home) configuration that you want to use. There is an absolute homing configuration that will store the encoder counts from the M type encoder in the drive so that whenever power is lost to the system, when the unit powers back up it will remember its home position. \n </s>

<s>[INST] factory talk local directory How can I load a different factory talk local directory without having to restore an application? We have several different machines with different user names and passwords. If I don't do a restore first then the old local directory writes over any project I open up. Is it possible to just restore the local directory? [/INST] Using FactoryTalk Administration Console tool. Open it w/ Local option -> under system folder in Explorer, right-click Backup... (make sure you have proper user/password). -> save this *.bak file Copy this bak file to other machines, open FT admin console, under Local(root) folder in Explorer ->right-click Restore... -> select the *.bak which mentioned above. -> click Next and Finished. After restored, it will prompt to enter User name and Password. Isn't this just another way of restoring an application without having to use the application manager? I was hoping there was something simpler that maybe I was missing. A button that would let you just use the username and passwords from the project when you opened it up without having to restore the project if you have worked on something else. This way is only able to restore the system folder of FactoryTalk directory. No need to use Application Manager. you'd better know the username and passwords of FT which you are going to restore.. My bad, when I hit backup I was on the project name in the explorer tree and not the system folder. This worked, thanks. I am able to log on using the same logon for windows. I don't have to remember the usernames and passwords in the project it seems. Is this correct? Sure, it supports the windows Anonymous Loggon.:smileyhappy: \n </s>

<s>[INST] RSView32 Reporting Utility We have been using the RSView32 Reporting Utility that was available in Technote A1927 for several years. We use it to generate simple log reports to capture process readings with a time stamp. It has worked great with Ver. 7.0 of RSView32. I searched for the technote and it is no longer in the knowledgebase. I was hoping it may have been updated. I am in the process of installing programs on a new laptop and am reluctant to install the latest version of RSView32 for fear the reporting utility may not work. The reporting utility was created using VB and Crystal Reports and I actually bought a copy of Crystal Reports so I could do some customization of the forms. Anyone else ever used this or perhaps have a better alternative for creating reports? [/INST] This one was fun to track down ... :) First, it looks like A1927 was changed to A9239 in the old Knowledge Base many MANY years ago. (The date codes from a backup of the old KB show this was done sometime prior to May 2001.) Then, I searched the new KB for A9239 ... it had been marked internal only because the product group decided it wasn't the best solution for that problem and started a new technote with a new procedure. Unfortunately, no one ever *finished* the new one. The upshot of this is that I re-released the old one and you can find it by searching for AID 9239 (or click directly on the link). Good luck,JHutch Thanks for the info. Would be nice if they could finish the better solution. :smileyhappy: Do you know if the utility will work with current version (7.4 I think) of RSView32? Sorry, that I don't know. If you create a case through the Ask a Question link in the Knowledge Base, the system will route it to the RSView32 support folks automatically and they should be able to tell you. When Ask a Question asks for the part number or description, put in RSView32 for the description and it should pop up a selection of RSView32 products. Any of them will work for routing it to the right folks. JHutch We are in the process of converting our system from RSView32 to FactoryTalk View 5.0. Is there any way to generate reports in FTV similar to the ones generated in this utility for RSV32? I've been most successful doing reports by logging to an ODBC database and embedding a query into an Excel spreadsheet. There is a tech note on this - see 29789. I once saw someone use a SQL Server reporting option to generate a web-based report. I haven't done it myself, but if the report was visible there, you could use a Web Browser ActiveX control in your clients to view the report data. For details on that part, see tech note 55526. Thanks for the info. I tried to use the method in tech note 39707 which shows how to configure an Access ODBC database. I tried to get it to work with my existing RSView32 project just as a test but have not been successful. When I stop my project I have a message that says Unable to access ODBC data source. (Attempt to connect to datasource failed) Does the database have to be running on Windows Server or will it work with XP Pro? I'm just trying to get it to work on my machine which is running XP. A co-worker said he had set up an ODBC database using SQL Server Express and it runs fine on XP. After several tries I finally got it to work. Is it possible to do a query on string tags? I tried that but so far only float tags are showing up in my database. I tried this here and the RSView LogViewer appears to only treat strings as numeric. It would still be possible to query these tags out of an ODBC database, but not with anything in RSView32 - would need to be an external program such as Excel with an embedded query or custom VB code. \n </s>

<s>[INST] 1794-IRT8 CJC 1794-6.5.12 – November 1997 “Thermocouple/ RTD/ Millivolt Input Module User Manual” described that “Terminals 37, 38 and 39 and 46, 47 and 48 are for cold junction compensation (with 38 and 47 chassis GND). Connect CJC1 to terminal 5 or 21; CJC2 to terminal 12 or 29.” However, 1794-IN050J-EN-P - January 2009 “FLEX I/O Thermocouple/RTD Input Analog Module Installation Instructions” described that “Connect the tail of CJC1 to terminal 5 and CJC2 to terminal 12 if channels 0…3 or 0…7 are configured for thermocouples. Connect the tail of CJC1 to terminal 22 and CJC2 to 29 if channels 4…7 are configured for thermocouples.” Is the description incorrect in the former document? For the description in the later document: “…if channels 0…3 or 0…7 are…”, does it mean “any” or “all” channel(s)? If it is “any”, then “channel 0~3 or 0~7” has no difference; if it is “all”, then “Example of RTD and Thermocouple Wiring to a 1794-TB3G Terminal Base Unit” in the later document seems incorrect, since not all channel 0~3 or 0~7 are configured for thermocouples. What is the truth anyway? [/INST] I think there is an error in the newest manual.They mean: “Connect the tail of CJC1 to terminal 5 and CJC2 to terminal 12 if channels 0…3 are configured for thermocouples. Connect the tail of CJC1 to terminal 22 and CJC2 to 29 if channels 4…7 are configured for thermocouples.”Channels 4 to 7 are on the B row (terminals 16 to 33) so it's obvious to me that they use terminal 22 and 29 for the Cold Juntions. Hi guys, I see NO errors in the manual... :smileysurprised: Here my *reading* of the matter: 1. If you configure ONLY channels 0 to 3 to use thermocouples, then CJC1 go to terminal 5 and CJC2 go to terminal 122. If you configure ONLY channels 4 to 7 to use thermocouples, then CJC1 go to terminal 22 and CJC2 go to terminal 293. If you configure BOTH groups of channels (that means channels 0 to 7) to use thermocouples, then CJC1 go to terminal 5 and CJC2 go to terminal 12 So, the statement :Connect the tail of CJC1 to terminal 5 and CJC2 to terminal 12 if channels 0…3 or 0…7 are configured for thermocouples. is correct due to the above last case. Simply, in the old manual the second possibility is omitted, the newest manual is more detailed on that. :smileytongue: - fuzzy logic That could be right fuzzy :smileytongue:But I still don't understand why they shifted the terminal to 22... The older manual states 21 for CJC1.I'm getting really confused, or maybe I'm too long in the Rockwell office :smileyvery-happy: That *IS* right Jamy ! :smileywink: :smileytongue: About the terminal, it is explained in the following statement: The terminal you attach the pig-tail to does not matter because the pig-tail portion of the CJC is not an electrical connection. The pig-tail end contains a thermocouple whose function is to sample the temperature of that portion of the terminal block to which it is connected. Once understood it doesn't matter, I may guess they just do this to create a similitude between the two rows of the Terminal Base... I mean: CJC1 is on terminal labelled H of the second channel in that row.CJC2 is on the terminal labelled + of the last channel in that row. Again, it isn't important, you may connect it indifferently either to terminal 21 or 22. ...go out get some fresh air ! (obviously I'm joking, Jamy ! :smileytongue: ) - fuzzy logic What is the element for the pig-tail? An RTD? or Thermocouple? or somthing else? fuzzy logic wrote:...The pig-tail end contains a thermocouple ... - fuzzy logic Looks like he needs a break too :smileyvery-happy: :smileyvery-happy::smileyvery-happy::smileyvery-happy: - fuzzy logic \n </s>

<s>[INST] PanelView Plus 1000 Touchscreen- slow to update I have a P.V. + 1000 that is very slow to update some of the values from several PLC's on Ethernet. This is on a 128 MB touchscreen, without keypad. One particular screen takes 30-50 seconds to update. Also, sometimes alarm indicators do not ever update, but if I cycle power to the P.V. then they will update. There is about 140 screens. We have monitored RAM usage live and have seen a maximun of around 23MB total. I have tried connecting only 1plc and this P.V. to an unmanaged switch and the problem is the same. [/INST] 128 meg and 140 screens besides each screen having a memory overhead dependant on static or updating data.. there are overall PV+ operating system memory requirements... as a ballpark think 40 meg housekeeping... plus 2 meg a screen just as unsupported examples... the more memory you can get base... the better off you will be.. unmanaged switch can also tack on network access time since it sends to every port it can see... Doesn't sound like a memory problem this time. Sounds like a comms overhead issue. (And the unmanaged switch is fine in the test scenario you described). The question is how much data do you have flying around? You mentioned alarms. How many alarm tags? If they are a lot of alarm tags, look into changing the way they work. A single alarm tag can be used to trigger thousands of alarm messages via bit triggering, for instance. Remember, 100 alarm trigger tags means the PV+ has to ask for 100 alarm tag values every comms cycle. That's a lot of data. But 1 alarm tag with a length of 3 gives you 96 alarm messages (96 bits in 3 DINT words). That's 1/100th of the comms overhead in savings there. Also, if you have ON TOP displays instead of REPLACE displays, the other screens are still open, just behind the current screen. Which means they are still updating all their tags, too. That could be contributing to the lag. Last thing to look at is how many tags/objects on the slow screen. You have to remember that the CPU in a PV+ is a wimpy little thing by a modern computer's standards. You might be asking more out of it than it can keep up with. Splitting complicated screens into multiple sub screens can help a lot in those situations. Good luck,JHutch \n </s>

<s>[INST] PF40 Fault Masking Hi all, The Application is a Fire System in a Hotel where in the PowerFlex 40 is used to drive the Exhaust Fan, Now below is the scenario.During Power switch over from main supply to Genset the time elapsed may vary from 5 to 15 seconds, if the switch over is 15 or more there is no problem for the drive since it was totally off.But if the switch over is within the time when the drive Display a Under Voltage Fault and the Power resume, the fault will remain and the drive cannot run. Then this will be the problem, since this is now an emergency situation.Is there any feature of the Power Flex 40 which we can mask this particular Fault. Or Any recommendation pleased help. [/INST] This is a known behavior, and you may proceed either: 1. Manually Reset with the stop button on the drive2. Reset via a Digital Input / comm card3. Remove the power long enough to let the drive going completely off.4. Automatically clear the fault through the AutoRestart parameter ... you will need to setup parameter A092 (Auto Rstrt Tries) to a value other than 0 and parameter A093 (Auto Rstrt Delay) to 0. This will attempt to reset any resettable fault immediately. See User Manual - page 3-29 for further details... Hope this helps, - fuzzy logic \n </s>

<s>[INST] Unespected Movement of Kinetix 6000 Hi, I'm new on Kinetix 6000 Systems I have a Kinetix 6000 with Controllogix PLC. When there is a energy shut down (Power lost) and it come on, there is and unespected movement of Kinetix 6000 servo. It seems that Kinetix take and save last instruction and when power come on it execute last instruction. When unespected movement occurs the controllogix PLC is on restarting process Do you know what may be the problem? Thanks [/INST] I can't see the logic you're running but it sounds like the code in your controller is set to act when the drive is ready to go. So when the drive powers up and gets the ready signal, the code is immediately acting on that information. It is best to program servos using a state machine so you can directly control how the code moves through its different phases. I've had many issues come up when I forgot that a piece of reset logic or run logic was triggered of a no-faults bit that I had set. \n </s>

<s>[INST] Improt tags Hi 2 questions regarding importing tags Can import tag from a remote computer on a distributed FTViewSE system ? Can you import tag if FTViewSE Studio is not installed ? THX a lot [/INST] Hi Joe. Your first question is a definite no. You must be local to the HMI server that you are importing/exporting. And I strongly suspect that it is not possible to import/export tags if Studio is not installed, though I haven't tried it myself. On Every SE HMI server I configure, I always install Studio, for exactly these cases. You do need to license it, but only have it installed on the machine. You can always remove the shortcuts to Studio if you are worrying about someone opening it up and kicking it into 7 day grace mode (which would only affect Studio). \n </s>

Is there any tools to help determine which system would fit best? We were thinking to incorporate a Micrologix 1500, as we have a not-used unit here. We need a number of inputs/outputs. We need to send / receive data from a camera that will be reading an LCD screen. (DVT 530)We need to read 12VDC +/-0.5V (output from UUT)we also need to read 0.85V +/- 0.8V (output from UUT)and 230Vac+/-10 (60Hz) (output from UUT) [/INST] Take a look to the following web site: http://www.rockwellautomation.com/en/e-tools/ Unfortunately the PLC family selector isn't available right now, this is the tool you're searching for.Other Tools are available there, like ProposalWorks or Integrated Architectur Builder, those may help you to select the correct hardware and define your architecture. The Micrologix Selection Guide could also help on that. - fuzzy logic well the 1500 can have expansion modules added so thats a plus... It depends on the base you have as to what may need to be added... camera talk depends on what its sending and if its comm properties can be manipulated... ascii string... charecters... control codes...etcsome bases have analog capability..dc tho..230 vac may be a problem ( they have 120 vac input but not analog) they have no analog input cards of that value... may have to feed it to a resistor network to reduce it but your local distributor should have someone that can visit and review your options with you. \n </s>

<s>[INST] (2) 1756 ENBT/A's with same subnet in same rack... Any reason why you couldn't put (2) 1756-ENBT/A's in the same CLogix chassis with the same subnet? (Example - Slot 1 has a module with IP address of 192.168.5.90/24 and Slot 2 has a module with an IP address of 192.168.5.190/24). Both modules are physically connected to seperate switches, which in turn connect to seperate networks. [/INST] Gregory, No problem. In fact, if the networks are truly isolated from each other (no IP routing path from one to the other), the ENBTs could have the same IP address. Ethernet protocol never makes it onto the chassis. Routing on the chassis side (from the chassis connector on) is done via CIP by a (port,node;port,node...) relative routing. You could even have two ENBTs with different IPs but on the same subnet (as you have yours) on the same switch. They are just two independent nodes on the same subnet as far as the Ethernet side is concerned. Where you'll run into trouble is if the separate networks find a path to each other -- two independent subnets with identical subnet number (192.168.5.x mask 255.255.255.0) will mess up the routing on the network in between that finds a path betwen them. Long story short: It'll work, but you better truly not have a path between these independent subnets! Best of luck! Dale, W8ABZ \n </s>

<s>[INST] Msg.DN bit always on after the msg instruvtion executed Hi all, Please advise if we have to reset the message done bit after the message instruction complete successfully? As my message done bit was on and I was doing multiple msg instructions, and unable to run the msg instruction repetitively unless I reset the done bit. Thank you [/INST] Do not set or reset the /DN bit; it is for indication and status only. The /DN bit comes on when the MSG is complete, and does not turn off again until the MSG is re-enabled. You'll have to post your cascading message logic if you want comments on it. You should not have to manually change the state of the /DN bit. Dear Mr Ken, Please advise on my attached program. Thank you Just put an unlatch over the MSG instructions.In rung 1 an OTU (unlatch) of Msg_Group.0 and in rung 2 an OTU of Msg_Group.1 And delete rung 3 and 4 because they are crappy :smileywink: In this way you will trigger the MSG instruction whenever you trigger the 2 bits. Dear Mr Ken, Thank you for your advice, as we have to monitor the msg done/ error status before proceeding to the next msg instruction, currently, this is only a small portion of my test code, actually going to have around 60 over msg instructions and will assign each message group to trigger 6 msg instructions. e.g. message grp 0 trigger msg_0 to msg_5, upon completion goto message grp 1, trigger msg_6 to msg_11. I saw this example program from the manual: logix5000 conrollers messages Thank you Oh, I see, you're the same guy asking about messaging to the PowerMonitor 3000, which has quite a lot of Assemblies. I don't have the time to dedicate to this right now. Maybe somebody else has some iterative logic they would like to post. Do you have to execute only 1 message at a time? Depending on your PLC, you can do multiple messages at a time. You may be able to execute 1 at a time within each of the 10 groups, therefore, executing 10 messages at a time. Is what your messaging time critical? If so, doing multiple MSGs at a time will help. What is different within the MSG instruction between each MSG? For example, if you are only changing the Path or the Attribute, you could accomplish this by using one MSG instruction and when no longer .ENabled, load MSG with new parameters and execute. Hi, I'm sort of executing 3 msgs at a time to read the parameters L1,2 and 3 current from the E3plus module,as the 4 Devicenet input assemblies have been all assigned. Total about 24 E3 plus modules, hence assigned two E3 plus modules to a group - 1 group running 6 msgs. After group 0 finished executing, move on to group 1, then 2 ..... untill finished goes back to Group 0. As I'm new in programming, please advise if I'm going the wrong direction. Thank you All, Grouping the messages and sequencing the groups is the right way to go. However, you need to be aware of how Logix handles Message instructions, especially regarding caching and unconnected buffers. A search of the KnowledgeBase using the phrase unconnected buffers will be most helpful. I found what looks to be a very useful article with sample code for sequencing messages, KB #39998. I don't have time right this minute, but a search of message cache would probably net other articles of interest. Good luck!Dale, W8ABZ \n </s>

(Maybe it's remote OPC....) If the OPC topic configuration stuff doesn't appear in your copy of RSLinx, look at the title bar. If it says RSLinx Classic LITE, that's the reason. I think you need Gateway, or maybe OEM level license. Another way to get data out of the controller is to use the 1756-EWEB module and have it serve the data as web pages. The manual for this module is on the online Literature Library. Online Development Inc. (OLDI) makes modules for the 1756 chassis (and others, I assume) that will pull data into SQL-type transactions for use with your favorite relational database. Best of Luck!Dale, W8ABZ \n </s>

<s>[INST] Where is CompactLogix Selection Guide? I was in the process of specifying a Compact Logix system and wanted to see if there was a newer version of the selection guide, Pub. 1769-SG001H-EN-P. I searched for 1769-SG and nothing showed up in the literature library. My guess is that Rockwell has merged this guide and the I/O guide into another one but I have no way of knowing. Anyone know where this info is located now? [/INST] I've recently downloaded a new one, pub # 1769-sg001i-en-p dated March 2009... so I suppose there isn't a newer released neither it is merged inside other pubs...just I think something broken with the link in the Literature website... :smileysurprised: I suggest to wait a couple of days, maybe they will repair the link.... :smileytongue: - fuzzy logic Well since my original post I did a little more investigating and I found a link to 1769-SG001H-EN-P dated July 2008. However I did not find it in the literature library. I discovered it in the CompactLogix overview section at ab.com under the Additional Resources tab. It's kinda hard to believe that links to both the CompactLogix selection guide and the Compact I/O selection would be broken. Maybe they are in the process of updating them. Yeah, maybe you're right... :smileytongue: this merged solution has been just realized for ControlLogix Selection Guide in the last release,,,Strange is that they have just release a new Selection Guide (-sg001i) I have on my PC just for the Controllers with short infos about I/O as previous released guides...

<s>[INST] 5/05 upgrade is slower? I have a system that uses 3 versa views, and a SLC 5/05, 16k memory and 10 Mbps all tied together through the Ethernet switch we got from IT a few months back. Our communication has always been a little bit “laggy” but working. Recently we tried to upgrade the system by putting in a 32k, 100 Mbps processor. But the communication rate did not get any better, in fact it has gotten significantly worse! Where it used to take just a few seconds to save online now gives plenty of time to get a cup of coffee. Any ideas on how we can increase our communication speeds? I know that when I look in the diagnostics for our Ethernet it says we are sending & receiving about 8-10 packets / second (here on my test bench with only the laptop and the old processor I am at about 40 / second) [/INST] Is the Ethernet switch managed? If not, you could use a managed switch to improve the communication rates. Another thing to look at is the Ethernet setup in the SLC 5/05. Is there an IP address set in the Gateway field of the processor communication setup. If an IP address is entered, but not connected it will cause the comms to slow down because the processor is trying to communicate to something that is not there. Hope this helps. Is the SLC connected in any way to the company ethernet network? If so you may want to separate the two to reduce traffic. One other possibility go in to RSLinx and go to communications >> configure CIP options and set it to 8 sec retry and 256 timeout and the max fast and max slow to 1. Apply these settings and retry. Also make sure S:2/15 is set to 1 under status file chan 1 for the comms servicing sel. You might also check that all the ethernet devices are set to 100Mb and not autobaud. If some components are set to autobaud, sometimes they will spend time autobauding and slow comms. S:2/15 Seems to have made all the difference, changed that and now it reacts much better. But now I need a new excuse for sneaking away to get coffee, rats. Thanks \n </s>

<s>[INST] FactoryTalk View Studio Tag Browser and 1746-IO12 I'm adding a Panelview Plus to a small SLC500 system that has three 1746-IO12 cards installed. When using the Tag Browser to assign a data source for an HMI tag the I/O on these cards does not show up as inputs or outputs. When running the application I get the message The data table O0:17-O0:26 in SLC at 192.168.2.30 is too small or missing. O0:17 is not one of the 1746-IO12s. Any ideas? Thanks, Scott [/INST] Off the top of my head ... if you are able to see the word level, but not down to the bit level, this is normal. The tag browse can't see individual bits within a word, but you can select the word level and then manually add a .0 or whatever to the end. If you can't see the IO12 card at all, then that is something else. JHutch PS I typically recommend copying I/O card data to controller tags and having the HMI read/write from there. In older HMIs this was required for consistent performance and I still think it is a good idea from a safety point of view (as a rule, I don't want anything other than my ladder code changing or reading my inputs and outputs in case its controlling something potentionally hazardous). \n </s>

<s>[INST] How can i print screen in black/white? My screen is background color black. The other object is any colors except black color. Is there any ways to print screen to printer in white background color and the other objects print to printer in black color. If it have some ways, please share to me your solution. [/INST] It is not clear to me if you want to print the display from development computer as documentation, or from run time. The second case has not many options... unless you may set your printer to invert colors by default and then print in black and white. If you want to print from development pc, then you may take a screenshot from every display (as explained in Aid 41233) and paste it to a drawing software (MS Paint can be enough), invert the colors and then print the result in black and white mode. Attached is a screenshot with an example of the three phases .... Hope this helps... - fuzzy logic I realize this is only half the answer, but if your goal is to avoid wasting ink by printing the black background, you could create a rectangle with a Color animation. By toggling a bit, you can change the background color from black to white for your printing operation. Obviously you could do the same with the other objects, but if there are a lot of objects, this could be difficult to do. And Fuzzy Logic is correct - some printers have options to invert the colors. That will depend on the printer that you have. I seem to recall doing that with an HP laser printer of some sort years ago. \n </s>

But I just want to witch to ENBT B at the same time in the same classis. You may be able to do this using Alias Topics Switchover is RSLinx Classic, however, why are you trying to do this? Why wouldnt you just want the chassis to switch to the secondary? You now have 2 extra cards, and if you let the redundancy take care of the switchover normally, if you do have a communication loss to the ENBT it will switch to the secondary ENBT. derek, I'm agree with rfridulin... it is not clear the why you have to do this.... :smileysurprised: I guess you plan to have a redundant Ethernet/IP, but keep in mind this note, from the User Manual: 2 EtherNet/IP modules in same chassis does not give you redundant EtherNet/IP communication. A switchover still happens if one of the modules fails or a cable breaks. - fuzzy logic These guys are correct. In configuring the redundancy, you assign your main IP address to your main chassis and the software automatically reserves the next IP level so make sure this isn't used eslewhere in your system configuration. For example, you main rack is 10.10.10.10 then the system automatically grabs 10.10.10.11 for the ENBT in the secondary rack. Upon failover, the IP address swap and the secondary rack now has 10.10.10.10 for its IP address. Your OPC topic, HMI app, etc. never notices that it's physically talking to a different module. \n </s>

<s>[INST] Ultra 5000 Drive C Programs Failing? We had an issue last night with the Ultra5000 drive failing on one of our Hem presses. The hempress was stuck in the lower position (Manual and Auto). Cycled power to the drive several times but couldn't get devicenet communication. So we eventually swapped the drive. As part of the swapping procedure we reloaded the C program for the Ultra 5000. After swapping the drive, the press was raising extremely slow and stalling after hem. We had to reload the C program a second time in order to get it working properly. This is the second time we have had issues with the Ultra 5000 C program. We think it might be getting stuck in a subroutine. My question is, does anyone else have issues with the C program, and are there any patches available to address this? Thanks Eric [/INST] If you have experience programming in C, you should check to see if the program has appropriate check statements. Typically people will use a while loop to perform some of their code. Like this: while (!StopRequested()) This type of statement can help break out of a routine that is stuck. You can also use some of the available variable tables to write diagnostic info. For example, when the program tries to run a certain piece of code, write a number to the variable table that will indicate it is running that code. This might help you troubleshoot the code. I've written many programs for the 5k and it's a really good drive, but it can be difficult to troubleshoot. \n </s>

The alarms I posted keep repeating and then will stop on thir own. May not come back for a couple of days, then do it again for a couple of days. The only problem I see are some comm. collisions. After reading some other posts, I may look closer at the RSLinx enterprise EE13, a technique I sometimes use to troubleshoot comm errors is to run ME Station on a computer. I modify the application so that it uses RSLinx Classic instead of RSLinx Enterprise. I run the application and let it experience the errors. Then I go into RSLinx-> DDE/OPC-> Communication Events and see what errors are recorded here. For some reason I find these errors more descriptive in many cases. I would have expected a more descriptive error in the Information window that pops up. If there is a clue there, you don't need to do the RSLixn Classic trick. \n </s>

<s>[INST] Time Delay I need a simple time delay ladder logic instuction. When I enable the instruction I would like the output delayed by a preset value. I know I can program it with a regular time off delay followed by the Done bit. I would like this as a single box. Can this be accomplished with an add-on instruction? [/INST] Well, yes, you could build an AOI instruction that included just a timer and the /DN bit. It seems to me that would be an over-complication of the function. An ordinary timer is simple, clear, and effective. I also thought that a simple timer w/ DN was simple, clear, and effective but for the 3rd time maintenance people have become confused. If I put it on 2 rungs it is OK but if I put them inline on the same rung they seem to get confused. Yes, an AOI is overkill but if it makes it easier to read? There is plenty of memory and process speed. The pros and cons on such a simple question are hard to balance. Michael, If you make your AOI so it has no output parameters and no in/out parameters (use the built-in EnableOut for your done bit), it will be treated as an Input instruction and so be left-justified if you put it on a Ladder Diagram rung. Also, the Logic routine is NOT scanned (not just scanned FALSE) on a false rung, so be sure to put a reset of the timer in an EnableInFalse routine. You won't be able to do this if you need the Accumulator as an output paramter, though.... I do lots of logic with Input instructions after Output instructions, and it always throws people off. So I test the heck out of it, then lock it inside a secured AOI and nobody ever sees it. If the logic is appropriate for an AOI, that is (extremely well tested, extremely unlikely to require online changes on startup, utterly reusable, etc.). Give it a try, show it to your guys, and lets us know how they like it! Dale, W8ABZ \n </s>

<s>[INST] Using VBA, data retrieved from datalog doesn't match format of datalog? I've written a small piece of VBA code to look through a non-active datalog during a specific one hour time period, and in this particular case, return the lowest number that it finds during that time period for 3 different tags in the datalog. The data retrieval works as expected, but the format of the data returned does not match what is in the datalog. For example, in the datalog during the time span I am examining, the lowest value is 3.7689741. But the value the VBA code returns is 4. It appears that the data is rounded to the nearest whole number, which is completely useless to me for my needs. I thought perhaps it's because the data source of the tag being logged into the data log is an integer file in the PLC, but that makes no sense either, because the data is written into the datalog in floating point format. I tried using a format command on the returned value, for example: Cl2(x) = Format(oDLWideRecs(i).DataLogTagValues(Cl2TagName(x).Value, 0.000) but all that does is change the 4 to 4.000. Does anyone know why this is happening? And more importantly, how I can correct it? jep [/INST] Can you include the code you are using to read the datalog model? Also would be useful to see how you are DIMming the variables. This is the code: Private Sub Get_Cl2_Minimums(Chlorine() As Single) Dim oDLModel As DataLogModel Dim oDLWideRecs As DataLogWideRecords Dim oTagList As StringList Dim dtStart As Date Dim dtEnd As Date Dim sHour As String Dim sMin As String Dim Cl2Name(1 To 3) As String Dim i As Byte Dim x As Integer Dim z As Integer Set oDLModel = gDataLog(Chlorine Residuals) Set oTagList = oDLModel.DataLogModelCfg.TagsInModel sHour = Format(gTagDb.GetTag(Low_Pri\FinishedPeakHourPD).Value, 00) sMin = Format(gTagDb.GetTag(Low_Pri\FinishedPeakMinutePD).Value, 00) 'Set the start time and date. dtStart = Date - 1 & & (sHour - 1) & : & sMin - 1 & :00 'Set the end time and date. dtEnd = Date - 1 & & sHour & : & sMin & :59 'Since only these three tags will ever be used, hard coding the tag names is used here. Cl2Name(1) = Low_Pri\Cl2_PreClearwell Cl2Name(2) = High_Pri\Cl2_Finished Cl2Name(3) = Low_Pri\RTU13_Cl2Residual 'Read the records from the one-hour time period. Set oDLWideRecs = oDLModel.ReadTagDataWide(oTagList, dtStart, dtEnd, , roMaxReadRecordsAll) z = oDLWideRecs.Count 'Set each tag in the array's starting value to a value higher than can be recorded by the meters. Chlorine(1) = 5.1 Chlorine(2) = 5.1 Chlorine(3) = 5.1 On Error Resume Next 'Find the minimum recorded value for each tag in the returned data set. For i = 1 To z For x = 1 To 3 If oDLWideRecs(i).DataLogTagValues(Cl2Name(x)).Value <= Chlorine(x) Then Chlorine(x) = Format(oDLWideRecs(i).DataLogTagValues(Cl2Name(x)).Value, 0.000) End If Next x Next i Set oDLWideRecs = Nothing Set oTagList = Nothing Set oDLModel = Nothing End Sub Jeparham, I've been playing with your code. I had to make a few tweaks to accomodate my test project, but bottom line is that I am reading floating point values. I created a tag called float and gave it a value of 3.14159265. I logged that tag value, then read the value into a variable called FloatTagValue (dimensioned as type Single). I stripped off the Format function so I could see what the raw data was. I used the following command:FloatTagValue = oDLWideRecs.Item(1).DataLogTagValues(float).ValueThe value of FloatTagValue was 3.141593, so it would seem that the value being returned is already a float. So whatever the issue is here, it is not that the method is not capable of viewing the actual tag value. My guesses at this point are:Your floating point number is being rounded.You are not looking at the value that you think you are - might walk the code through Debug mode and put some watches on some of these values.Sorry I couldn't be more specific as to your problem, just not seeing it here. Thanks for taking a look at it. I had already set up some watches on key variables in the program, but I just now noticed what I think may be the cause of my problem, or at the very least, is a symptom of it. In the watch window I set a watch on oDLWideRecs and a second watch on oDLWideRecs (i).DataLogTagValues(Cl2Name(x)).Value You may recall that oDLWideRecs is dimensioned as DataLogWideRecords, i is dimensioned as a byte and x is dimensioned as an integer. In the watch window, as soon as the program starts: oDLWideRecs data type is listed as DataLogModel/DataLogModel oDLWideRecs (i).DataLogTagValues(Cl2Name(x)).Value is listed as variant/integer. As soon as a value is polled, the data type for oDLWideRecs (i).DataLogTagValues(Cl2Name(x)).Value changes to variant/long. And as I am sure you're aware, a long data type is a whole number, like an integer. The only difference is the minimum and maximum values possible in the long data type. So, the upshot of all of that is, even though I explicitly dimensioned all of my variables, the value is being returned as a long data type. Now I just have to figure out why. Edit: I forgot to mention... I looked in the datalog files I am using, and the numbers 3 and 4 don't appear in the files anywhere. All data is floating point, for every tag logged into the file. I still wonder if it's because of the data type of the tag's data source. All three of the tags are located in integer file N7, and scaling is done in RSView's tag database using the Scale field. Well, I believe I have found the problem... fixing it... not so much. I ran the program to a break point and in the immediate window I tried ?gTagDb.GetTag(tagname).TagValueDataType All three tags returned a 0, which indicates the constant roTagDataTypeLong. In the help file it spells it out: tag's value is returned as a long So I start looking for where it could be setting the data as an integer data type. In the tag database, I found that the default data type for those three tags are all set to Default Unfortunately, even though they are analog tags, it will not allow me to change the data type to Floating point. I get an error that reads Error writing tag. The data type is invalid for the corresponding tag address. That's because the tag's address is N7:10. An integer file. Any suggestions how I can correct this? \n </s>

<s>[INST] Version 18 Has anyone seen or heard about an ETA for version 18 of RSLogix 5000.If so when is it and what are the likely up grades from 17. [/INST] My distributor said to expect it in January '10. My response was Ha!, fat chance The drives guy came by a day later. He mentioned that v18 will have extensions to the instruction set to support the Ethernet drive control they've long called CIPSync. I don't know if it's still called that, but I saw it demonstrated a couple of years ago. The demo model had two drives running at full speed, with a strobe showing their shaft angle coordinated perfectly. The whole thing has its foundations in <b>IEEE 1588</b> as I remember. Drives control is probably only one of the many things that can benefit from this. If it really works as touted, this should be the end to the old, worn out phrase Ethernet just isn't deterministic. Everybody, by now, knows that determinism is as essential to life as oxygen, or nearly so. There are many things I hope to see in upcoming versions. Among them are immutable symbolic constants, and/or enumerations. Immutable constants would be tags that are initialized at compile time and can't be changed at run time. So, if I set a constant called Drive.Fwd as equal to zero, I wouldn't have to continually run a housekeeping process to ensure that it stays at zero. I'd also like to see AOIs improved. One of the things that frustrates me most about AOIs actually relates to the type system. I want the type system become heirarchical, where SINT, INT, DINT, and LINT all inherit from an uplevel type, perhaps called Integer. REALs and (future) DOUBLE would inherit from Float. Both Float and Integer would inherit from Number. Then, change the AOI parameter checking so that the programmer can choose the level in that heirarchy he's willing to accept as an input or output parameter. With that, a single AOI could perform it's operation on various types when the outcome doesn't require such strict type checking. I could then create an AOI called BoundChecking, where the input parameters were required to be calculable numbers (not BOOL) but not necessarily restricted to their storage size or encoding. The LIM instruction does this. It will digest INTs and REALs with equal ease and produce predictable results. This actually comes into play more often when writing AOIs to encapsulate the mundane tasks of controlling outside equipment, like PowerFlex drives. A PowerFlex drive with datalinks turned on will produce a different module-defined data type than with datalinks off. If my AOI takes the the input and output blocks of those module-defined types, it will gag over the differences between them. I wish Rockwell would create a forum area for requests like mine, but I guess I'll be satisfied to pepper them into other missives and hope that a Rockwell dude might forward them on to the right engineering group, or give them summary judgement if they're too bone-headed to consider. By the way... I also want double-precision floats (DREAL). Did you catch that? Yes I strongly agree with pebworth.In the case of numbers, constants can be made by continuously (or at startup) moving the required value to tag.But in case if string, I cannot even assign a constant string value to a particular tag. Only thing I can do is just type the desired value to the tags value column. Well, *I* read these messages daily. I forward many to product managers. And many of the product managers keep an eye in here (though, admittedly, some more than others). The other method to send in suggestions is through the Submit a Question feature in the Knowledge Base. JHutch \n </s>

<s>[INST] ALMD (Alarm) in a ADD-ON Instruction? Señores,Quisiera saber si hay alguna complicacion en colocar una instruccion ALMD dentro de un Add-On instruction. Segun una ultima charla con personal de Rockwell nos indicaron que esta version (16) no estaba preparada para eso. Sin embargo las Alarmas funcionan. Can I place an ALMD Instruction inside a Add-On Instruction? [/INST] Yes, you are now supposed to be able to put any reasonable (non controller type) function blocks in the add on instructions. You will need to create the appropriate local parameter to support the ALMD (just like if you put it in a standard routine). vlk Per the AOI user manual (1756-PM010A-EN-P), the ALMA and ALMD instructions CAN be used in an AOI, but the backing tag for the instruction must be passed as an In/Out Parameter. Same for MSG and Motion instructions. This is because the MSG, ALMA, ALMD instructions require BASE tags (root controller tag or program tag) and have an associated buffer space in memory. Can't put them in Arrays or as parts of UDTs. Dale BTW, the manual above is installed with the online manuals, but it's not easy to find. Select the Common Procedures Programming Manual and you'll get what looks like a manual Cover Page, but it's really links to several other manuals (AOIs, Strings, P/C Tags, Messages, etc., etc.) Thanks W8ABZ... people from rockwell told me that this last version (16) was no released or prepared to support this, and i thinked: that information is wrong.My mistake... i didn't see that manual \n </s>

<s>[INST] Powerflex 700 speed control, speed units RPM I have a couple of issues using ControlLogix to control the speed of a PF700 with parameter 79 (Speed Units) set to RPM. The desired speed is set from the PLC logic by assigning a value to the controller tag MyDrive: O.CommandedFreq. One might expect this value to be in RPM, but it isn't. By trial and error I find I need to multiply the desired speed in RPM by 13.654 before storing it in CommandedFreq. This gives a 'Commanded Speed' (parameter 2) in the drive which corresponds with the desired speed in RPM. Where does this scaling factor come from? I'm not getting a linear response from the motor in terms of the actual speed achieved. If I set CommandedFreq to 5000 then I get a Commanded Speed (P2) of 366.2RPM and a Speed Feedback (P25) of 366.2RPM - perfect. But a CommandedFreq of 10000 yields a Commanded Speed of 732.4 (perfect) but a Speed Feedback of 754.8. P23 Speed Reference always matches the Commanded Speed, but the motor is actually turning at the speed indicated by Speed Feedback. So the faster I ask it to go the more it overspeeds. Are there some drive parameters which need tweaking to address this? If anyone can point me at some relevant doc for this stuff that would be a great help. None of the manuals make any reference to the .CommandedFreq units being anything other than Hz (or implicitly RPM if Speed Units is RPM). Mike [/INST] Helpful chap at Rockwell TechConnect may have solved this for me - doing some calcs & checks, will post solution if it works. Mike Apologies for the delay (if anyone is interested...). Command frequency should be calculated thus: (32767/MaxFreq) x Req. Hz. MaxFreq is drive parameter 55. Req. Hz is calculated thus: (Motor NP Hz/Motor NP RPM) x Req. RPM Motor NP Hz is drive parameter 43Motor NP RPM is drive parameter 44Req. RPM is the speed you want it to go at. What seems utterly daft is that I can't tell it what speed I want it to go at in RPM. If closed loop speed control is on then how does the drive determine what speed it is trying to maintain? Presumably it's not trying to maintain a Hz value. I can only guess that it reverses the above calculations in order to determine the RPM that was required and compares that to the actual speed derived from the encoder. In that case your PLC program has to do the above calcs only for the drive to reverse them to find out what you really meant. Crazy? Mike \n </s>

<s>[INST] Ethernet msg from Control to Compact Logix I was going to use a MSG instruction to communicate from a controllogix processor to acompactlogix processor. I want to read/write from a UDT created especially for messagetransfer. do the UDT types have to be the same in both controllers? I.E in my controllogix if i havethe UDT as Machine_Control,does the UDT type in the compact have to be labeledMachine_Control as well? do the tags also have to be the same? thanks for your help [/INST] Both the names and the internal structures of the UDTs must be the same in both controllers for an MSG instruction to work between them. If the UDTs consist of nested/embedded UDTs, then the names of the nested UDTs must be the same as well. The tagnames don't have to be the name. You could call the source CompactData_to_be_Read and call the destination Data_from_the_Compact_Controller. But the Data Types and the name of the UDT must be the same. In the MSG instruction configuration tab, if a UDT is used (and identically defined in both the source and destination) how may 'Number of Elements' are defined? Is it '1' since it is a single UDT or is it the number of 16-bit elements within the UDT? Thanks. The number of elements you read/write depends on the type of data you are using. An element refers to one “chunk” of related data. For example, tag timer1 is one element that consists of one timer control structure. So, if you want to exchange only one tag that uses a structure you've defined, you have to enter '1'. - fuzzy logic \n </s>

<s>[INST] Device Net Calculate total drop length I don’t see a network forum area so I will start here. We brought in a guy to do a system overview of a machine that we have been having some Devicnet problems on. He wanted use to confirm the drop line length total. I have a test device (1788-MCHKR) that looks like it could get me close to what I wish to find. Other wise how would a person even come close to determining this information on a machine that has TWO networks with 36 nodes on ONE and 42 nodes on the other. The network has a combination of custom made and preassembled cables. Some drops also have series devices off on tap. Device net is a new beast to use here so any help would be a learning experience to use. [/INST] I think JHutch will end up moving this to the HMI/Comms, for the communication's side, but this is just as valid as a place as any. As for DNet, you said you are having some problems can you describe those? Further as for calculating the entire length of dnet wire being used is often harder after implementation then before. It is usually one of those things that it's best to calculate out as part of the engineering of the system. However checkers such as the 1788-MSHKR and similiar products from other companies can get you close. So in effect you already have the right idea. No, he won't. :) Comms issues don't have their own board. Whatever device you are using with the comms is where the topic would fall. In this case, he's using the DeviceNet cabling with some processors, so this is the right spot. JHutch I have the 1788-MCHKR but the manual is at best not very good on set up for test. Looks like it will give me the total length then I need to subtract a known either the trunk or drops to get the other. I know that I need to have the network powered off but do I need to disconnect all devices too. I tried with devices connected and test showed there were shorts on the line. We have had many BUSS OFF DETECTES and Some Faulted Communications. I have corrected many of them by switching our SMC valve banks to always communicate from the default of Stop Communication if Solenoid power is lost. The reason for this post was the OEM of the machine brought in a consultant who did a system overview and ask us if the total drop length is over 39 meters and if it was we would need to slow our baud rate to 250 from 500 referencing the Device Net installation guide. He also suggested and we already have changed our RPI to 10msec from 5msec because the size of the data excided one packet forcing 2 packets every 5msec. Meaning the backplane was being pounded every 2.5msec. Another thing we will be doing after determining what our total drop length is and whatever baud rate is to switch all of out devices from auto baud to the network rate. We have over 40 device on each network so on power up we have a 50/50 chance of hitting over the limit of 60 faults in the first second triggering a buss off detect. The last thing we did was looked at all of our cards that potentially could be affected by the ATMEL Chip anomaly and found that 6 of the 11 possible cards do require warranty exchange. 2 of our 3 processors both our Ethernet cards and 1 of our 2 DNB cards. Another thing he pointed out to us is that we exceeded our unconnected buffers on our processor. Each processor has only 10 unconnected buffers for communication by default. He showed us how to change that from 10 to 40 the max. Total unconnected buffers in our system where 32 and most where communicating to just the first processor. After this fix and after the ENBT Cards are replaced we hope to have a more reliable Ethernet Network too. I have also experienced some of these issues with DeviceNet. One thing I did find is the baud rate issue. I have a network with only 3 devices on it and I could not get it to communicate until I dropped all devices to 250 baud. Network length maybe 20 meters. DeviceNet is not very user friendly. Especially if you have wiring issues. I have seen it said that 99% of all Device Net Problems are Media. With a Baud of 250 do you see a difference in response in the machine? As long as the media is installed in accordance with the manual the media shouldn't be the problem. I've heard that cabling makes a diffrence but they can't tell me why the flat bus cable works. The flat bus cable used with the armor blocks is non shielded and non twisted pair. All I can recommend is that the terminating resistor is placed at the extents of the network and all field installed terminations are checked for crossed wires between the blue and white wires. If you can find the longest length of cable from one end of the network to the other the resistor should be at these ends. I had an application that communicated but did it intermittently and one connector had the shield wire touching one of the communication wires. About the backplane bandwidth, I've helped with a 17 slot application with two L55 processors seven M02AE, two M08SE cards, two CNB, and two I/O cards in the same rack. Each PLC was controlling 16 axis; some real, some produced and consumed and some virtual. Each PLC was updating the axis information at 16ms. I really don't think that polling a devicenet card at 2.5ms is excessive for the rack. maybe for the Devicenet card, but not the rack. If there are a lot of communications by the processor you may want to examine them with the logix 5000 task monitor. You can use this utility to refine the overhead timeslice and enbt communications load. You can also see technote ID 19993 about unconnected buffers. Linkified for convenience - JHutch Bus Off:Simply is there is chatter on the line.Sources: Resistors are not in place or placed in correct location, you should get 60 ohms accross can high and low. Not enough current from power supply, can be intermittent if devices are being powered on the same line, one too many devices kicking on or in use might pull down the current. Take a voltage test, you should be around 24 volts, usually a bit lower like 23.9 or so, but if it gets dragged down to 23 volts this could be true. Line length is too great for baud rate, lower baud rate, can be intermittent. Baud Rates are not all set the same in all devices, or devices are not set to autobaud, rarely commented on as intermittent, will always show up in a few minutes. The scanner does not have a baud rate set in it. Never intermittent Physical Damage of Media of white or blue lines (can high or low) but not power (you get no tx then), can be tracked down a couple different ways, your checker can tell you if you have this problem, and it wouldn't be intermittent. Line noise, the biggest pain to troubleshoot, however, the two resistors in place should take most. The easiest method to see it is with an oscilliscope, and past that if you have a bunch, it's usually around something causing mag fields, like drives. Faulty Device, a device that is not maintain baud rate or just throwing out junk, usually this device constantly shows up with other errors that single it out. One more additional check: Measure resistance of a node, disconnected from the network, from +24vdc terminal to blue, +24vdc to white, common to blue, and common to white. All of these impedances should be greater than one meg ohm for any devicenet node. If not it is an indication of a failing CAN chip on the node. \n </s>

I'm making test before programming for the first time with an analog input. I use only the input 0 and 1, both are set for current. I use a NK Technologies AT1-420-24L-FT set at 0-20 amp. Inputs 2 and 3 are shortened. I use the SCP instruction: Input I:2.0, input min 6242, input max 31208, scaled min 0, scaled max 20, output N7:0. The red led is lit on the input card. I have an electrical circuit hooked and I can see that changing the current going through the current transducer shows as I see the reading changing under the input I:2.0, only the output N7:0 doesn't. I also made a few math instructions and there is no results. To make more test, I changed the jumper on the current transducer to a lower value (0 to 10A) and the input value changed, it went from about 7200 to 11100. When there is no current flowing throught the value falls always to about 3275 and not 0. Many times I've made some changes to the input min and max still without any results.

Hope that helps.... - fuzzy logic Hello. Thank you for answering. I had tried the recommended values for 4 to 20 mA: 3277 to 16 384. I had tried others combinations to see if this was the mistake. I run a current of 3 amps with a double twist of wire so this makes a reading of 6 ams for the inducers. The range I selected is 0-20 amps. I should not go out of range. The N7:0 was only used for this input and N7:1 is for the other. What I had forgot was the JSR!!! So the subroutines were still sound asleep. The Jump to Subroutine U:3 and U:4 did the trick. Now I check as I do the test and the N7 varies as I change the current flowing through the inducers. Also the ADD N7:0 to N7:1 works as the destination N7:3. I cans also check it in the data file for the integer. Now I see 6 in each output of the SCP, in the math instruction I add the two 6 and get the correct sum of 12. I still don't understand the difference between the integer and the float. Thanks allot for the help. I'm just happy that one of the two situations I've imagined was the solution for you !:smileyhappy: Also, just to give a short explanation about your last doubt....basically the differance is that Floating Point numbers have the fractional part also so that you may represent your numbers using decimal point...Aid 7765 contains a good description about float format in SLC.

Thanks in advance,- fuzzy logic [/INST] That's one of the intended used of the 1763-NC01 cable; to allow access to the A, B, and COM wires of the isolated RS-485 port built into Channel 0 of the MicroLogix 1100. The RS-485 trunk length is the same as if you were using 1761-NET-AIC or any other converter; 4000 feet. Thanks Ken for your kind reply. :smileywink: So, what about the other thread from which this answer comes ? It seems to me the direct connection between serial ports using -AM00 cable, although unsupported and thus not recommended, should work in that case (between Mx1100 to Mx1100); the connection between RS-485 pins shouldn't create problems, as it is the same connection you have joining two -NC01 cables like you've confirmed it is allowed. Right ?! :smileysurprised: - fuzzy logic I am double-posting this to cover both questions about the -AM00 cable. RA Knowledgbase Answer ID # 18942 has pinouts for a number of cables including the 1761-CBL-AM00, which has a right-angle mini-DIN8 connector on either end, which is suitable for connection to any MicroLogix family controller Channel 0 serial port. That information should be in several other installation manuals too. The 1761-CBL-AM00 is a null-modem cable that connects Receive to Transmit as well as connecting Clear-to-Send to Ready-to-Send. 24V 1 <---> 1 24V GND 2 <---> 2 GND RTS 3 <---> 6 CTS RXD 4 <---> 7 TXD DCD 5 <---> 5 DCD CTS 6 <---> 3 RTS TXD 7 <---> 4 RXD 0VDC 8 <---> 8 0VDC Note that GND on Pin 2 above means RS-232 signal common, in contrast to the +24VDC power common on Pin 8. On the MicroLogix 1100 and 1400 controllers, A-B removed the +24VDC power supply circuit on pins 1 and 8 and replaced it with the Signal A and Signal B pins for the embedded RS-485 port. There's no problem connecting both the RS-232 and RS-485 signal wires on the MicroLogix 1100 controllers. I've never put a scope on them to figure out if they are both active at the same time. Where you would probably have a problem is if you connected one of the MicroLogix that has an embedded RS485 port on the Channel 0 plug (MicroLogix 1100 and 1400) to a MicroLogix that has +24VDC on pins 1 and 8 (all other MicroLogix controllers). RS-485 transcievers usually operate in a range of -7 to +12 VDC, so the +24V might damage the RS485 chip inside the MicroLogix 1100/1400. The +24VDC pin was implemented on the older MicroLogix to power the handheld programmer (remember those !) and accessory devices like the 1761-NET-AIC, -DNI, and -ENI. It is also responsible for more than a few PC serial port smoke-releases when people have built their own serial cables without consulting the user manual. Thanks ! :smileywink: - fuzzy logic \n </s>

I have tried to fumble my way through but do not seem to have any success. Should I be looking at an OPC or ODBC instead? [/INST] SLC 500 can communicate with a Panelview Plus using differents network solutions (this primarly depends by the SLC processor type / comm channel available) and this communication should be configured in FactoryTalk View Studio using *embedded* RSLinx Enterprise. At this LINK you may find useful videos that explain how the communication is configured; navigate FactoryTalk View Machine Edition Quick Start Videos - Set Up a Panelview Plus for Communications You may also use OPC instead, but it is just an option, not a needs...:smileysurprised: Hope this helps… - fuzzy logic Well that site, like all the other Rockwell/Factory talk sites, assumes that the only thing you will use with an HMI is a Logix5000 platform. There is nothing that talks about using ethernet from an SLC505 series to a Panel View Plus Assuming your devices are correctly connected on the network, and you've configured their IP addresses, well, the procedure is quite similar to the one you may see in the videos.... just you've to use SLC instead of CLX, your plc will appear under the Ethernet/IP driver in RSLinx Enterprise setup. Then you may browse for Data Files and select your data to read/write in Panelview Plus...I mean, the procedure is always the same, also using SLC.... :smileysurprised: You may then test your application from FactoryTalk View Studio, if your PC is connected via Ethernet/IP to the SLC... and finally you may create your runtime (remember to configure the Target tab in RSLinx Enterprise) and download it to the PVP.... Follow My First Project videos, believe me, they will show you the right steps to start. :smileywink: - fuzzy logic So your saying, to configure my tags from the PLC to the PVP I have to do it all on line?I have been able to configure the ethernet channel using the Enterprise. Not a big deal. I have done that many times using Logix 5000. With Logix 5000 I can complete my configuration off line. Set up all the tags and animation that I want. Based on what I am seeing so far I gather that all that portion of the logic has to be done while online. RSLinx Enterprise only supports offline tag browsing of an RSLogix 5000 .ACD file. .RSS and .RSP files are not directly supported. :smileysad: Notice: When attempting to browse for the offline file, the only options to view are .ACD file and 'All Files'. There is a way to offline browse tags from a SLC or PLC5 system (not so straight way, but works :smileytongue: ), see Aid 32451 and Aid 29992 Hope this helps…:smileywink: - fuzzy logic That appears to be working. That is what I was after. It appears that what I will do when I go online is delete the OPC link and since the RSLinx Enterprise is pointing (through ethernet) to the same tags, I should be good to go. Thanks for your help. \n </s>

<s>[INST] Modbus MSG between two (or more) ML1100s - Is this cabling correct? I have found plenty of info on programming MSG instructions to allow ML1100s to communicate via MODBUS. What I haven't found are details on how the cabling works. I think the main issue is that the MODBUS docs and ML1100 docs use a little bit different naming for pins, and I need someone to clarify if I have this right or not. Please take a look at the attached doc, and let me know what you think. I did grab the picture of the ML1100 pin out from Rockwell Automation Answer ID 38808, so my thanks to that author for putting that together. Thanks,Richard [/INST] Yes, that's exactly right. But why use Modbus RTU between Allen-Bradley controllers? You could use DF1 Full Duplex (with only two ML1100s connected over RS-232) or DF1 Half Duplex (over RS-485 like you have described) and have the advantage of full access to the controller's data tables and native addressing. I am using two ML1100s to get my feet wet with MODBUS. Once I am sure the MSG works, I will move on to the MODBUS interfaces of an Altivar VFD, and a Hach SC1000. Thanks. That's a good way to do it ! When I'm experimenting with Modbus, my tools include the WinTech Software Modbus simulator suite. You can connect the MicroLogix 1100 to your PC's RS232 port and send Modbus messages to the ModSim simulator, which makes it very easy to change the emulated data files and node numbers. Invest in the shareware license for Modsim; it's too much juggling to just use the 3-minute runtime of the evaluation version. I have implemented the example code I found in the know base, and wired the ML1100s as above. But I have not had any luck getting the MSG to fire correctly (Times out in local processor). The cabling set up is two 1763-NC01s, with about 6 feet of Belden 3084A between them. I put a 150 ohm resistor between A and B. I rang out the cable through the round Mini DIN pins to make sure I was connected. I have checked and rechecked the connections. Is there a process I can use to figure out what is wrong with this? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Maybe try using DF1 through the connection to verify that the cables/connection is ok. If that works, then you know its something about the Modbus configuration. If DF1 won't work either, you know it's hardware (most likely cabling). JHutch I finally got back to this. I use the cables for DF1, as the 1763-NC01 cable does not have connections for TXD and RXD. For example, there is no connection between the NC01 terminal block and PIN 4 on the round Mini-DIN. I have rung out the cables end to end (or pin to pin of the Mini-DIN), so I am confident the cabling is exactly as the diagram I first posted. I have tried a bunch of different baud rates, parity settings, stop bits, data files, read types, etc. and can't get it to fail any differently. I came up with these questions:1. I found several pubs that say the ML1100 can communicate RS-485 using a 1763-NC01 cable and it does not need an AIC+. Has anyone tried this?2. Is there any connection needed besides the ones listed on the diagram in my first post (besides the 150k ohm resistor between A & B, on both ends). For example, does the CHS GND on the NC01 need a 0V DC connection?3. Is there a minumum cable length between the Master and Slave?4. Are there any diagnostic tools I could look at? Voltage levels on the cable? The only clues I have: The MSG triggers, the COMM 0 light flashes on the Modbus Master, the COMM 0 light does not flash on the Slave, and the Message Times Out in Local Processor. I appreciate all help. My first sentence should be I cannot use the cable for DF1... I'll read the post first before submitting next time. JHutch's advice was correct in getting me to try DF1 first: On one of the ML1100s, the comm port was not working. Using the user display, I set the comms back to default. Then I tried to auto configure the DF1 driver in Linx using the 1761-CBL-PM03 cable. That would not work. I tried a different ML1100, and the Modbus comms work great. Thanks, JHutch! \n </s>

<s>[INST] Function Block Diagrams Why does the function block routines in logix not allow for the placement of connector lines. Rather then the current autoconnect feature. While the autoconnect is useful, if a progamer has alot of logix the autoconnect sometiems routes lines in less effecient or unreadable manor. The lines also seem to re-draw when edits are accepted when on-line editing. [/INST] jrbolek, Only guessing here, but I would suppose it's to avoid storing the X,Y coordinates for each vertex within the application. Probably to reduce the memory used in the controller by the FBD routine. I too would like to drive the routing. I suppose we could suggest to the RSLogix 5000 editor editors :-) that the vertices be stored in the OFFLINE copy. If you have the offline copy (with comments, etc.) and went online, you'd get nice routing. If you uploaded into a blank project (or if for any reason the routing in the offline copy didn't match up with the online controller), you'd get default routing. I could live with that as a compromise. Dale, W8ABZ Mr. Moderator: another one for the suggested enhancements thread (ref. sumesh, pebworth et al).... \n </s>

<s>[INST] Logix500 Corrupted After Using Emulate500? I seem to have a re-occurring problem with running Logix500 programs through Emulate500. What happens is both communication channels are set to Shutdown and they cannot be changed back. I found the tech support note about saving the logic as an .SLC and then resaving it, which works fine. But is it a known issue that Emulate500 is causing the communication channels to be shutdown? Is there something else that could be happening? [/INST] Hi;Emulate 500 acts as a software emulation of a processor.. so it wouldnt need to have comm channels enabled as its never going to talk to anything other than the programming software... cant send msg's so cant get handshakes so logic locks up. jtheis, I've gone deep inside this problem... I get the same issue as you using RSEmulate 500 v6.00 and RSlogix500 v8.10 Problem appears only when you upload from online... if you go offline without upload, it works fine and channel configuration are not affected...Uploading the program, the .RSS file get corrupted... Solution: Upload is not supported in RSEmulate 500 ! (Aid 4698 - Note 3) Hope this helps… - fuzzy logic \n </s>

<s>[INST] Breaking Redundancy on Distributed RSViewSE 4.0 & effect on system behavior I am in the process of upgrading a distributed RSViewSE 4.0 system to FTView5.0. I would like to be able to break the redundancy for the pairs of primary and secondary HMI Servers. I can then upgrade one, then the other, then re-enable redundancy in 5.0. There are several pairs. Some of the redundarnt pairs already have the primary off the network, another has the secondary off the network. I understand that if I have the secondary active and then disable redundancy, I need to define the secondary as the primary at the same time so that the clients know where to look.The question is, will I have to reboot the clients and what effect will this have on system stability? I'd prefer not to have to interrupt production while I am making these changes. [/INST] The first thing I would do is install the v5 client on all machines as it can run both v4 and v5 applications. I then created a second FT applicationin v5 and then turned my secondaries into primaries on my v5 ft application. All I had to do was change the FTD location on my client, reboot and then run a new client file and then switch my v4 primaries over to v5 secondaries. Fail back is a simple as changing the FTD to the v4 application and rebooting. Sounds good except for the part about v5 client with v4 server. Just to be clear did you go through this yourself? TN #46639 (Connecting to RSView SE Server 4.00 with a FactoryTalk View 5.00 Client) says that this functionality did not make it into v5 (CPR9). I just did a test on my machine and I was able to run a V4 application using a V5 client. I looked at the article and think that it is not correct. I would test your application to ensure that it does work. But I also remember another article that said you could do it, but I can't find that one. This solution does add some complexities with alarming (2 separate alarm systems) and you double the loading on the PLC's, however it did work really well for me (but I had a shutdown to work with as well), but I did run in parallel for 2 weeks to ensure that the v5 system worked correctly. I just talked with RSView SE techsupport and here is what they told me: 1 - The technote is correct. Connecting from a v5.0 client to a v4.0 server is not supported. Furthermore, it almost never works. 2 - The reason it probably worked for rfridulin is that his v4.0 server was most likely upgraded to a v5.0 (CPR9) FactoryTalk layer. In those instances, it will work sometimes but it is still not supported. They very STRONGLY urged that CPR versions match throughout any SE system. Lastly, I strongly suggest anyone dealing with this issue to submit a case through the Ask a Question link in the Knowledge Base and let the experts on FactoryTalk View SE answer your specific scenario questions. Ask a Question JHutch I found out for myself the effect on system stability for this kind of change: I did not try to use a 5.0 client with a 4.0 server. I did have to break the redundancy to move forward on the migration from 4.0 to 5.0. Removing the secondary from the redundant configuration for the HMI Servers and RSLinx Enterprise Dataservers was not a problem at all, no effect at all on the running system.I used technote 38212 Upgrading a Redundant RSViewSE v3.2 system to v4.0 as a guide, did not follow everything due to this particular situation. Would be nice to have another technote with the same procedure for 4.0 to 5.0 upgrades, but there may not be any real differences. For two of the redundant pairs, I did have to remove the primary from the redundant configuration. The secondary was already active, the primary was non-functional (long story) and shut down. I removed the redundancy and redefined the primary as the secondary machine name on the HMI Servers and Data servers. I then had to reboot the FT directory pc, the HMI server, and later some of the clients to get everything working again. Right now in the middle of bringing up the 5.0 system in parallel. Looks like it will work fine. All the 4.0 to 5.0 upgrades Ive done went very smooth and didn't cause so much confusion. For people who read this and have redundant pairs that will need to be running during the upgrade, do this: Break the pair and create a standalone from one server. Then upgrade all clients, shut them down. Upgrade the each server and shut them down. Upgrade the Factory talk server and reboot. Bring up the servers. Open studio and verify project conversion to 5.0. Run test client. Open all clients. upgrade the stand alone and didn't add back into the redundant pair. Very smooth and effective with non stop monitoring. If you break the pair, let clients pull from the 4.0 server while upgrading to 5.0 on the other server, you will be ok until you upgrade the FT directory, then your 4.0 clients loose there connection to the distributed app. Best bet when upgrading and redundant pair, is plan for downtime, or create a standalone. \n </s>

<s>[INST] Testing to see if a Button has focus in RSView VBA All, I am new to VBA and was wondering how you test to see if a button has focus in a Display with a VBA app. I am wanting to pop up a message box warning the operator before they press a button on the screen. [/INST] Hi Sonny, If by RSView VBA you mean FTView / RSView SE VBA, then the Button object has a GotFocus event. Draw a button, then right-click it and select VBA. This will open the VBA editor and by default places you in the Released event. If you look in the upper right corner of the VBA editor, you should see a Drop Down Box with the word Released in it. Click here and select the GotFocus event. At this point you can start entering your VBA code, which will execute once the Button object gets the focus. If you are talking RSView32, then you can't do this - RSView32 does not have a graphics object model. However, if you change your approach, you might be able to get the same result. Instead of directly attempting to run some command when you press the button, have that button display a secondary popup screen with words to the effect of Are you SURE you want to do this? Chaos may break out if you do!. On this popup, you could have a Yes I'm Sure button that does whatever you want, and a Cancel button that just aborts the popup, bringing you back to the original screen. Much easier and no VBA! BTW, both approaches will work for both products. Hope that helps. \n </s>

<s>[INST] Flow meter variances after conversion I just converted a system from PLC5/80E to ControlLogix L63 and I am seeing strange behavior on every one of my flow meters and just about every analog device. The meters will work fine some times and be off by as much as 50% other times. I have two tank levels configured identical, one reads 0, as it should, and the other reads 16000 Gal. The tank is a 3000 gal tank!! All of the I/O for the system is SLC I/O configured remotely with block transfers. The I/O configuration did not change from the PLC5 to ControlLogix so my thought is that there is something different in the way ControlLogix processes the remote I/O?? Any tips, suggestions, articles would be greatly appreciated! [/INST] Junkerjorg, Could you please post the raw values for the two channel inputs as received in the Block Transfer Read data file(s) (like, are they both 3277-ish?) and an example of the logic used for scaling from raw to engineering units? I assume each reading is stable (even though incorrect) -- not jumping between a pair of values. Such jumping would indicate that multiple block transfers are configured into the same tag, or the value is being read while the MSG BTR is still in progress, etc. I assume the I/O wiring wasn't disturbed or changed (except for the RIO or other I/O network change at the controller end). I assume there are no duplicate rack numbers (or node numbers or whatever). What rev. L63? Using DHRIO? What rev? I assume no Rack Faults are being reported in the DHRIO, and no connection faults in the I/O Configuration tree in RSLogix5000 online. I assume any BTW of AI module configuration has been checked against the PLC-5 data file. I assume the number format is signed integer and not BCD (or if it is BCD, you are using an FRD instruction to get the decimal equivalent). Having said all that, I'm sure it'll be something else!

<s>[INST] FTAE Redundancy Workaroud I have found a workaround for a redundnat SE server to be able to get FTAE working for a new project that also utilizes Win911. I added a third rslinx enterprise server under its own area and hosted it on a seperate PC then enabled alarm and event support, setup a topic pointing to my PLC and enabled FTAE on the topic. Now I am getting alarms appearing on my new HMI screens and the specter win911 software is also happy. I know I do not have redundancy on the FTAE portion but at least I can get the benefits until the next version of FTView supports it. My question is Rockwell is there any danger doing this? My redundant servers host screens for a good chunk of our plant taking them down could cause some major grief. I have very good PC server hardware HP DL380s with redundant everything. [/INST] You won't be introducing any instabilities by using a non-redundant FTAE on a separate computer. The only risk I can see, and you already know this, is that if the FTAE computer crashes, you won't have any alarming. That's my opinion. Maybe the higher powers at Rockwell will comment further?.... \n </s>

<s>[INST] Store and Recall Tag Value After Power Cycle I have a tag that counts the number of hours that a device has been running. I want to be able to store and recall this value if the power to the PLC should cycle. Power to the PLC may turn off during maintenance or scheduled downtimes. Background on my system:I'm running a 1769-L32E on Version 15. I usually run it in REM RUN and have my program load from non-volatile memory during power up. I have to do this because the PLC sometimes sees months of interupted power and the battery backup does not hold up. Is there a solution for this? [/INST] Since you have a CF card installed on board, you can store the value on the CF card and recall it back.Here is the sample program from the Rockwell Project file: I am not sure if it has been updated, but I believe the read/write of data to the CF on the CompactLogix processor is not supported. It was due to data integrity. Now with that said, there is nothing stopping you from actually doing this. You just have the risk of corrupt data. Also, according to AB, the life expenctancy of the 1769-BA battery is like 14 months if the power is always off. You must have some serious offtime/downtime for your equipment. Maybe you can evaluate a better PM schedule for the equipment to replace batteries more often. Just some thoughts. Hi synrobot, I may confirm there is an update to the CF usage with CompactLogix, now the read / write operations to the CF at runtime is supported on newly built CompactLogix, see the technote 64442 for more infos... :smileywink: - fuzzy logic Thanks for the update.. I did not realize that they made these changes. It appears though that only the L35E is supported which doesn't help in this situation. Maybe a processor upgrade is the solution. HA HA..!! Thanks for the replies and suggestions. I checked out the documentation myself and didn't see the L32E or the L35E on it. I'll continue to search, but it looks like my best option is to upgrade to the L35E. This is a little different approach, but what if you did a GSV of the Wall Clock Time for the Start Time. This would be hour 0. Then you could do math based off of the current Wall Clock Time. You could come up with a system to take the difference between what you called the Start Time and the Current Time and convert everything to hours. You could then populate the same tag that you are trying to retrieve. \n </s>

This issue could not reproduced 100%, is there some special configuration or requirement for the OS? How to troubleshoot this issue when encountered? Thanks for your attention [/INST] Check your Application, System, and FactoryTalk Diagnostics event logs for errors. Also, if you haven't already, you may want to take a look at the following PSA: Technote 37039: Service Advisory - Rockwell Software OPC-Based Products - Disconnection issues (RPC_E_DISCONNECTED errors) (Microsoft DCOM 108 Update for Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003) -Marty... thanks for your response.I have tried to change the default settings of DCOM, but still failed to browse tags of Arena opc server.On Windows XP2 OS, arena crashed when browse tags on FT data client; on Windows 03 R2 SP2, when browse tag in FatoyTalk Data client, Arena keep on opening, after close it, arena reopen again. What can I do?:( Those intermittent problems are a killer to fix. When the problem happens, can you try connecting directly to the Kepserver using the Kepware QuickClient? That way, at least you can tell if the problem is in FactoryTalk or not. Anything logged in the Kepware event log? kepware QuickClient can always directly connects to kepserver.Is there somthing wrong with my Arena OPC? or FatoryTalk? \n </s>
