<s>[INST] Wheel-Scrolling the tag list Summary: Who's having difficulties scrolling through the tag list of RSLogix5000 using a scroll wheel of a mouse?I've been through the Knowledgebase. It says update the mouse driver. It's a lame excuse. Why? Because nothing else in the computer, not one single other program, has difficulties with the scroll wheel. Even in the same program, I can scroll through a ladder diagram with it. It's ONLY the tag lists. That's not a mouse driver problem. That's a Rockwell Software RSLogix5000 problem. Are there others with similar problems in RSLogix5000 tag lists with scroll wheels? TJ McDermott [/INST] What version of 5000 are you using? I'm having no issues using the scroll wheel. I have come across this as well. It usually works for a while and then stops, a reboot usually restores functionality. The Scroll Bar is the Least of my worries! I've encountered the problem with 17 and 19. Haven't used 18 with it. Rebooting does not fix the problem. The mouse driver is Intellimouse, and it's pretty darn recent. I reiterate that it is not a mouse driver problem when no other program has this behavior. Had the same issue. I installed an old app (now freeware) called Flywheel from Plannet Crafters. Fixed it for me. That does in fact fix the problem. But WHY? Why does Logix5000 TAG BROWSER ONLY require this? The ladder diagram does not. JUST the tag browser. Not ONE other program does this. Works okay on my computer in 19 & 17. n </s>

<s>[INST] direct ethernet connection Summary: How do I connect a Micro850 directly to the ethernet port of a Win 10 PCI have been struggling with establishing a connection between a Micro850 and my Win 10 PC. When the PLC and the PC have DHCP configured ports, the autoconfiguration from the PC to the PLC provides an address that is unreachable. RSLinx cannot find/establish a connection when I set static IP addresses for both. This video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BU7O8KXfdPA) got me partially on the way, but alas, there is no joy in PLCville. I am frustrated and stumped. Is there a documented procedure for how to set this up? Thanks. P [/INST] If the Micro850 is set to DHCP, you need a DHCP server to hand out addresses. Rockwell's BOOTP can act as a DHCP server if your Micro850 is set to DHCP. Run BootP and configure it. You should then see the MAC address of the PLC. You can then use BootP to assign an address to it. I'm assuming you used the USB port to assign a static IP address? Did you set your computer to the same subnet? (stupid questions, but others have not so the question has to be asked). Did you check the box for static so the address sticks? If you've assigned an address via USB, have you power-cycled the processor? Does the address stay set when you look at it via Linx? Do you have your Linx Ethernet/IP driver pointing to the correct adapter? The video you linked makes a lot of assumptions. First, that the address is already set in the processor. I'm pretty sure a new processor out of the box is set to DHCP. If the Micro850 or your PC is set DHCP and does not see a DHCP server, they will default to an IP address within the APIPA scheme (169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254 with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0). What are your current IP addresses and subnet mask for both your PC and the Micro850? Since you said they are directly connected I am going to assume there is nothing else to worry about on the network. Can you see the Micro850 in Linx over USB? If so, you can verify the current IP settings within Linx by right clicking on the Micro850 and selecting Module Configuration, then clicking Port Configuration. You can verify your PC IP address using the video you linked as a guide. Remember, subnet masks between your PC and the Micro850 must match and the IP addresses must be in the same range (eg. if subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 then the first three octets of the IP addresses must match, such as 192.168.1.x). Once both are configured correctly, you can verify connection by opening the cmd prompt and typing ping [Micro850 ip address]. If the ping replies, then it is likely an issue within Linx. RSLinx has some common issues, but one that I see a lot is Wi-Fi messing with comms. After you verify that you are looking at the correct ethernet adapter within your Ethernet/IP driver settings try to disable your wireless adapter. Sometimes RSLinx can get confused. Also, make sure you are using the EtherNet/IP driver, not the standard Ethernet driver. TJ and Jeremy: Thank you for your replies. I have been very diligent about the subnet...I am familiar with the issues if the subnets don't align. I have setup a second ethernet port on my machine using a usb-ethernet adapter. Furthermore, I have configured that adapter/ethernet port to have a static IP address of 192.168.1.2. I have also disconnected the PC from the network as well disabled the wi-fi. When I run BOOTP, it does not detect the Micro850: the discovery history pane is empty. I created a relation manually using the PLC's MAC address and assigning it an address of 192.168.1.3, then restarted the PLC. When I click on Enable DHCP, I get failure to connect (time out) message. For some reason, the PC cannot see the PLC. I'm stumped. Your thoughts? Thanks again. Patrick In almost every case, this means the PLC already has an address and it is not on the subnet you think it is. Get a USB A - B cable (commonly used for printers) and connect to the PLC that way. It's the fallback for exactly the situation you find yourself. Plug cable into PLC and into your computer. Open RS Linx and you should see the USB connection appear. Right-click on the processor and select MODULE CONFIGURATION. Fix the IP address settings via USB and you should be good to go. Worst case, you have to then cycle power to the PLC. Actually, worst case is the one time this doesn't work and the PLC is actually toast. But I don't think that's your problem. n </s>

<s>[INST] MotionView Software Hello, I am needing to try to go online with a Kinetix 300 servo drive and I cannot locate the software to save my life. Anyone know if there is somewhere I can download the software? And is this a software that I need to purchase? [/INST] I believe MotionView is an onboard java application in the drive, isn't it? If you type the IP address of the drive into a browser it should give you the option of running or saving the java application and creates a MotionView.jnlp file (Java Network Launching Protocol).

<s>[INST] Redundancy in 1769-L30ER CompactLogix5330ER Summary: How much synchronization is there?This is a question about the limited redundancy in the new 1769-L30ER CompactLogix5330ER controller. This is not about the bumpless failover redundancy in full ControlLogix systems. My questions pertain to what is synchronized and what is not. Q. What happens to a tag value changed in an HMI? Suppose a setpoint assigned to a DINT tag is changed in a PanelView. Then a few moments later the processor fails and the other processor takes over. Does that new processor have the recently changed setpoint tag value? Q. What happens to internal tag parameters that are not really accessible from logic, such as the accumulated integral term of a PID loop? Q. Does the program scan get synchronized at all? [/INST] Is Rockwell Automation advertising a limited redundancy for those controllers, or are you talking about CompactLogix Backup with DeviceNet ? I haven't seen anything new for the L30ER. The answer for each of your questions is yes for ControlLogix Redundancy and no for CompactLogix Backup with DeviceNet. Only the DeviceNet scanner data tables are synchronized in the CompactLogix Backup system. Edits, data table changes, and tag value synchronization would have to be entirely implemented in user logic and procedures for the CompactLogix. How are tag database changes updated in the standby controller? The two DeviceNet scanners are updating their Input data tables at the same time, but everything else is independent. The tag database in the active controller is not automatically updated in the standby controller. You need to use Produced Tags or MSG instructions to update changes made to the active controller's tag database. It's a lot of complexity and frankly a lot of work. That's why the ControlLogix Redundancy system, which does all of these features automatically, is more complex, more powerful, and more expensive. n </s>

<s>[INST] ACD File Viewer?

<s>[INST] Kinetix 5100, disconnect encoder without fault Hello, I would like to know if it is possible, by ethernet ip, to disable the kinetix 5100 drive, it is to be able to disconnect the encoder (through an ATI tool changer), so that, while it is energized, to be able to make the change, and it does not cause an non-recoverable fault, since the way I know to reset the non-recoverable fault is to power cycle or reset the module, and it takes a long time. Another question, if the tool changer is used constantly, while the drive is energized, can it cause damage? Thanks a lot. [/INST] Alejandro I cannot find any documentation to suggest the encoder is RIUP (Removeable or Insertion while Under Power). This can be interpreted as the encoder connection was not designed/tested nor supported for RIUP. If the Kinetix is power but the CIP axis is disabled (open loop), I believe it is still reading the encoder position and it would register an encoder fault. https://rockwellautomation.custhelp.com/app/answers/answer_view/a_id/1090640 data-linkindex=0>Kinetix 5100 Servo Drive E011 Encoder Error Troubleshooting Thanks Philip: We have been able to clear the fault after reconnecting the servo motor, the question now is, will we damage the drive or servo motor if we keep disconnecting it while it is powered up? n </s>

<s>[INST] 1719 Ex Digital Input Line Fault Detection (LFD) Can I use mechanical contacts without Line Fault Detection (LFD) or will that void the hazardous listing? Resistors R1 & R2 are shown in the blue hazardous area/device, Is that a requirement or can this be done at the 1719 module? Below is copied from Rockwell Automation Publication 1719-IN001D-EN-E - November 2020 Line Fault Detection Most I/O modules have a line fault detection function that can recognize a lead breakage or a short circuit. • 1719-IBN8B or 1719-IBN8 digital input module If the input is used, for example, with a mechanical contact, an additional resistor circuit must be installed to ensure that the line fault detection function can work correctly. Using the additional resistor circuit, the electronics can distinguish between a closed switch and a short circuit. Thanks [/INST] Hello KR721, I'm not too familiar with intrinsically safe I/O, but I discussed your question with a co-worker who has much more experience than I do. Unfortunately you do need the line fault detection for the hazardous rating. Installing the resistors at the 1719 module instead of the end device would make it possible to have a fault on your cabling that is not detected, therefore you do need to install the resistors closer to the end device to have better fault detection. Best Regards, David Geck I did find a link on how to disable Open-Wire Detect. I understand the knowledge base is not intended for design advice, I think there should be an asterisk/note informing you that hazardous rating could be affected if this feature is disabled. https://rockwellautomation.custhelp.com/app/answers/answer_view/a_id/1076466 Thank you for clarifying the resistor location. n </s>

I'm also having many troubles at customer's sites when they just install come CPR 9 SR2 products and some CPR9 SR3 together. It seems to me this last combination is particularly dangerous. Saying that, I've not particular suggestions unless the complete repair or reinstall of those software...

<s>[INST] FT Activation report ? Summary: We have multiple developers and multiple deployment servers We have multiple developers and multiple deployment servers and we would like to have a mechanism by which we can generate report of how many activations are present of computers and how many of them are being used. I went through the activation manager tool and could not find any feature which can generate report of this ( Available Activations tab under activations manager ). Is there any way we can generate report of this data ( may be in excel or csv ) and export it so that our other products / departments can use it ? Thanks, Vijay Aundhekar [/INST] Sorry Mr. Aundhekar, there is no way to do what you wish to do using Rockwell's tools. One would think that a company which sells a product call Factory Talk ASSET Manager might understand the need, but at present, you're on your own. Try your local Rockwell provider or Rockwell tech support. I was able to get a spreadsheet of all of my company's software purchases. It included if they were activated and, what ID it was attached to (dongle ID, hard disk serial number, etc) n </s>

<s>[INST] RSView32 project to FactoryTalk View Hello to all, I am trying to open a backup file (.zip) of a RSView32 project (.RSV) that was made by a consultant for my company 3 years ago. I received a FactoryTalkView 30 days demo license from Rockwell by email. I am unable to open such backup because the manager is searching for a .apa file instead of a .zip file, like RSView32 use to. I do not know FactoryTalkView. Can somebody help me please? Thank you. [/INST] Hi quesnel1, and welcome to the Forum ! :smileyhappy: First, just to be sure, you'll need to use FactoryTalk View SE version to import your RSView32 project... then, you have to restore your backup to the machine where you want your project to be imported, using the RSView32 Transport Wizard... After that, you have to create a new View SE project, select Import and browse for the RSView32 project... View SE online help contains some tips about the import procedure...search for Import a project for an HMI server. Hope this helps… - fuzzy logic Fuzzy left off an important step - you need to unzip your backup first :smileywink: Once it is unzipped, the rest of the procedure should work. You open Studio (I am assuming SE Station, not a distributed application), go to New tab, give it a name and click Import. Next, select the .RSV file from the project (you need to change the File Type to RSView32). The rest should be a piece of cake. Oh yes, thanks... that would be useful if you've not the RSView32 Transport Wizard installed on that PC... otherwise, you may use the Transport Wizard to restore it, and it accepts the .zip backed up project file as source.. :smileywink: - fuzzy logic I think we might have mis-understood quesnel1's intent. He has an RSView32 project archive, and wants to open it. But instead of having RSView32 Works, he has FactoryTalk View Studio. We assumed that he wants to convert his RSView32 project to FactoryTalk View Studio. I think instead what has happened is that he got the wrong visualization development software. I'm just guessing. n </s>

[/INST] There is no mechanism currently to support modal popups. Even if you used VBA and forced the selected popup to stay on top, there's no way to prevent the operator from clicking on stuff behind the popup. The only way to do what you want to do is to make your popup full-screen. It will force the operator to take notice and prevent him/her from clicking behind it. It also prevents the popup from getting lost behind the screens. Not so graceful, I know, but it gets the job done. n </s>

SteveB, normally the usb dongle fuctions the way mentioned below. A Dongle is a USB hardware device that gives out an address (Host ID), that your activation is tied to. You can purchase it from your local distributor, the part # is 9509USBDONG. NOTE it is not a Memory stick, you can not save your activation file on a it. Your Activation file has to be saved on every computer that will use the software in the activation directory. i.e. C:Program FilesCommon FilesRockwellActivations.

<s>[INST] How to Print or Export Logix I/O Tree Configuration Summary: Can Logix I/O Tree Configuration be exported or printed?Can Logix I/O Tree Configuration be exported or printed in order to document hardware in PLC redundant chassis and remote I/O racks? For example by using, RSLogix500, RSLinx, System Ferret, or some other tool. The RSLogix5000 export feature does not quite capture all pertinent information about the module types, and I don't see how to get that out of Linx or System Ferret. Also, RSLogix5000 Generate Report does not allow printing of the I/O configuration. the attached image shows desired information (e.g. [1] 1756-IF8H/A....) [/INST] In your particular case, RSNetworx for ControlNet could generate a very detailed network report, down to the Minor Revision of every piece of hardware present on the browsed subnet. Is this available for Ethernet as well as Controlnet? TJ McDermott said: Is this available for Ethernet as well as Controlnet? Yes. If you open RSNetWorx for ControlNet or RSNetWorx for Ethernet, open the network application file (e.g. *.XC or *.ENET if not already open), then select File/Generate Report to create an html report of your network application. You can then save this file as html or txt format. I highly recommend system ferret for this application. It'll generate a nice excel spreadsheet with all this information. Thanks dmargineau and Ikarimaru. Both methods produce great reports, but the best method really depends on what information is needed and what information is easiest to arrange once captured. For my case, I found system ferret was best, but others will find RSNetworx suits their needs better I'm sure. To me, ferret produces data that is better suited for tables and spreadsheets, and NetWorx generated data would be better for reports. I had used system ferret before, but had marginal results because some I/O modules did not appear to be reported. After the suggestion by Ikarimaru I played with ferret and found what works best. My system architecture uses redundant PLC chassis with remote I/O. Each PLC chassis has 2 ENBT cards, for a total of 4 ENBT cards per redundant chassis pair. Then I have 18 PLC applications and 72 ENBT cards in the system (18 x 4). An example of the IP addresses for one PLC is *100, *101 (reserved), *150, and *151 (reserved). All but two of these are under one Linx Ethernet driver. So in system ferret, if I selected the Linx Ethernet driver containing the 72 ENBTs, and either Level 6 or 7, system ferret usually did not report all of the PLC and I/O modules under EVERY IP address for a redundant PLC chassis pair. For example, no I/O was reported for IPs *100, *101, and *151, but it did report them under *150. This just made locating I/O for a specific redundant chassis pair more tedious. It seems like ferret just picks one of the four IP devices within a redundant chassis to create a report for that chassis, but the IP device ferret chooses is random (e.g. not always the first, second, third or fourth IP device in the redundant chassis pair). So, what really worked well using system ferret was to select a specific IP address for the ORIGIN in ferret instead of selecting the driver containing ALL of the IP devices. IF you do not have redundant chassis pairs you will not need to be bothered about this. n </s>

<s>[INST] Is it possible for a dynamic alarm message in FT View ME ? Hi, I have five control panels with same PLC program. And here is my below requirement: while displaying the Alarm message for each control panel the initial Tag no to be shown differently. For example: Panel 1: Alarm Message: PZT-10101 : Suction Pressure High High Alarm Panel 2: Alarm Message: PZT-11101 : Suction Pressure High High Alarm Panel 3: Alarm Message: PZT-12101 : Suction Pressure High High Alarm Panel 4: Alarm Message: PZT-13101 : Suction Pressure High High Alarm Panel 5: Alarm Message: PZT-14101 : Suction Pressure High High Alarm the difference is only the numbers highlighted. So is it possible to change dynamically, so that i can have only one backup file instead of maintaining 5 backup files. Note: The PLC program remain same, means the tag linked to the alarm is same, only i need to show the message differently. Thanks. Vijay. [/INST] Vijay, it sounds like you have a single Panelview+ collecting alarms from five PLCs. Is this correct? If it is, you have five separate shortcuts in Linx Enterprise. You'll end up with unique tags from them no matter what. Using your example, each PLC is going to send a tag, say PZT_HIHI. the connections you would use in ViewME would look like this: {[panel1]PZT_HIHI} {[panel2]PZT_HIHI} {[panel3]PZT_HIHI} {[panel4]PZT_HIHI} {[panel5]PZT_HIHI} Your PLCs will still have the same identical programs. TJ McDermott, Its five different PVP6. It like, I have 5 compressor skids with PLC & HMI. All the P&ID, Control Sequence is same for all skids. Only the field device tag names are different. So we maintained PLC program same for all panels. Actually by scenario I have to maintain 5 individual HMI programs as I need to show the device tag names as per the skid. So Now I'm trying to avoid 5 backups instead want to maintain 1 backup for HMI also. Thanks. Thanks. Each skid has its own PLC and HMI. Each skid has unique sensor names. Technically, that makes each skid unique and needing separate programs. You can keep the programs generic and put the sensor names in PLC string tags read by the HMI, and editable through the HMI. I think that's the best you're going to be able to do. If a new skid is commissioned, then the person starting it up would have to enter the various unique names into the HMI to individualize the skid at that time. If an existing skid's PLC crashes, it would be as if you were commissioning a new skid when replacing the PLC. No matter what, somewhere along the way, you have to enter data that makes the skid unique, makes the program different. n </s>

<s>[INST] How to forcibly reset counts in a 20-750-ENC1 encoder option Summary: Is there a programmatic method to reset the current count of the encoder board? This is a motion application using a CIP-Motion PowerFlex 755 drive with a standard incremental encoder.. In general it works quite well. But the trend of position and velocity that I've been watching worries me at times - velocity becoming ragged and unstable at times.. Passive rehoming of the axis doesn't reset the underlying encoder count, but I may have one of the setup options wrong for doing so. My Axis Travel option is set for Unlimited, therefore the Unwind option isn't available for setting. It's configured this way because that was the default - and I didn't mess with anything that didn't appear to need messing with. As the encoder values increment toward very high integer values, the velocity trace (on a trend) becomes increasingly ragged. Restarting the drive causes the encoder to reset to zero, and the raggedness disappears. My theory is that encoder values that correlate into floating point values (positions and velocities) begin to lose numeric precision when derived from very large integer values. There may be a variety of more elegant ways to solve the problem (and I'd be interested to hear them all), but my brute force method would be to just reach in and reset the encoder. Is there a way to programmatically control the encoder board's count? Is it through an SSV? Or a motion instruction? Or explicit message? Or some other clever thing that hasn't occurred to me? My exact application configuration is contained in an earlier post. The sparseness of this post is an attempt not to be redundant with those details (if relevant). Thanks [/INST] I'd try MRP (Motion Redefine Position). A good thing to try! I'll give it a whirl. Thanks. You are not resetting the actual count of the card. With CIP motion, you're working within the processor. MRP and MAH both stay within the processor, affecting positions based on user units. TJ, There's an old Unix phrase that you might have heard... Obey me! I am 'root'. That's what I'm trying to get this encoder card to do. With CIP motion, there are actually two loops, a slow one that operates on the coarse update. The inner one runs on the drive. The processor is in control of them both, either directly or indirectly. The encoder card probably only comes into play for the inner loop, so It's certainly further removed from the processor. However, the motion axis takes very assertive control over drive parameters, and disallows a lot of tinkering around from external tools (such as CCW). My suspicion was that a method exists to manipulate the counter card, either directly or indirectly. It's entirely possible that my operating theory is wrong, and that I really don't need to concern myself with that count. What I do know is that cycling power to the drive makes motion considerably less erratic, while longer periods of continuous running cause motion to become increasingly so. I should modify that statement to say that my observations indicate that. My observation tools may be a contributor to the effect that I'm investigating - but I don't think so. This, being my first attempt at CIP motion, makes me vastly more attuned the things that look like oddities and anomalies. Thanks for joining the discussion. Mike Mr. Pebworth, first question that LEAPS to mind is: What firmware are your PF755 drives at? Until Firmware V6, there was significant bugs having to do with Ethernet communication causing what looked like bad tuning. Cycling power fixed it. If you are not at their current version (9, I think it is THIS month), I would try that before anything else. Second, again for noisy motor/drive, the coarse update period cannot be too low. What it SHOULD be for PF755s is poorly documented - 3ms is the bare-bones minimum. With just two axes in one of my systems, 6 is the lowest I could go, and i think we settled on 8ms. Going lower causes the motors to sing; we wasted a man-day trying to tune it out before increasing coarse update as a last resort. As to your question, when in CIP motion, as far as I know you do not have the ability to reset the card-level position. CIP motion means you're working through a conversion constant; the raw count gets converted to user units and that's that. I cannot stress getting past the early firmware enough. My revision is 7.1. That may indeed be older than I want. My coarse update is 2.0 mS, and this is, so far, just a single axis system. An interesting point - as you raise the comment about noisy motor/drive - is that the motor doesn't hunt or oscillate or buzz/squeal. My only indication that something is afoul is my plot of velocity. It gets a bit worse than in this example below. To be honest, that doesn't look TOO bad for a 755 in CIP motion. However, your coarse update period is definitely too small, even for a single axis 755. For Kinetix 6500 (also Ethernet CIP motion), I think that's ok. PF755 drives must have a minimum of 3ms. That is documented (somewhere). To be safe, I'd suggest 4ms as a starting point and see if the velocity smooths out. Thanks, I'm going to set up a test bed version of it so that I can tinker without having to wait for time on the production line. I'll try your suggestion. Mike n </s>

You can address the I/O words for the Generic Module directly, or copy them into and out of UDT type tags that you have created to match the 22-COMM-E I/O structure. Thank for the reply.Generic Module method you meam explicit message? But you still need see the driver in Rslogix5000 in order to input the hardware path in the Command MSG. No, explicit message is another beast.... Generic Module is simply an I/O connection for which you have to define manually the connection parameters, for those modules that aren't available with a pre-installed I/O profile inside the RS5000.

<s>[INST] Powerful 4 E-STOP I am building a small panel with two(2) powerflex 4 VFD drives.I need to hard wire an e-stop into the drives. How do I do this?I have been told that contactors on the motors are not good and that I can't e-stop electronics. Does that mean I can't e-stop the VFD? The application is small. It runs two small horizontal conveyors. There is no major risk of stopping the motors at any point in time. My thought is to put a N/C contact in series with terminal 1 (stop). This will open the stop circuit and stop the motors. The drives will remain ON. Once the e-stop is reset, the open contact will close and the drive will wait for the start signal again from the main machine. Is this acceptable? Or will this method risk damaging the drives or motors? thank you [/INST] The Rockwell Knowledge base ID 39169 can assist. This attachment discusses the advantages and disadvantages of input contactors, output contactors and the DriveGuard Safe-Off relay http://www.rockwellautomation.com/knowledgebase/ Output contactors work very well but you also need to STOP the drive to keep it from faulting on load loss (or disable the load loss alarm). The safe-off option is really nothing more than a relay on a circuit board that either enables or disables the gating function of the drive, thus stopping it. In a simple application such as what you have here, an output contactor would work fine as long as an aux. contact enables the drive when the ESTOPs are OK. The tech note David9 refers to has great information in it, especially on the input contactor. The most important part of understanding the input contactor scenario is that the drive will run a few seconds....I've personally seen a PowerFlex70EC drive run for 12 seconds before totally discharging. n </s>

Can i connect a analog input to the drive through this such that drive receives +/-10V and accordingly increment/decrement speed by 2Hz [/INST] Hello, as pointed out on your initial post, the implementation of that application requirement would be possible configuring the MOP (Motor Operated Potentiometer) feature of the PowerFlex 755 with the help of 2 digital inputs. In the scenario presented, it looks like there are not spare inputs available to be used, so the straight forward implementation of the MOP feature will not be possible. To my knowledge, based on the MOP block diagram below, there is no indication that the switching of a +/- 10V analogue input will be triggering the 2Hz increase or decrease sought after on this application. More information on the MOP feature is available via chapter 6 of PowerFlex 750-Series AC Drives, Reference Manual Another possibility could be exploring if some sort of drive embedded DeviceLogix code could be implemented to mimic the MOP functionality of the MOP block diagram above. As any code creation task, this could be a time consuming exercise that may pose a challenge on its own, due to the real possibility of non being able to manipulate or access certain signals/registers on the drive via DeviceLogix. n </s>

<s>[INST] Transferring IP Nodes from 1 processor network to another Hi, Using a dual ethernet port processor I recently had to swap all of the devices from port 1 to port 2 and vice versa. At first I attempted to drag and drop devices from 1 network to the other. This caused a problem when I opened up a ladder routine as I saw that all of my tag alias addresses had been removed. To get around this I found that the fastest way was to delete the devices already on port 2 network as there were far fewer than on port 1 network. In the processor properties I changed the Ethernet Mode to Linear/DLR, once applied, I then changed the Ethernet Mode back to Dual IP and was able to select which network that I wanted the devices to be assigned to. All I had to do then was re-create the devices that I had deleted. This worked fine but I was wondering if there was a better way of doing this?

<s>[INST] Meaning of Displayed current value on VFD Hi, I'm using PowerFlex40 VFD to drive a 3 phase induction motor. I have a basic doubt. In VFD display parameter d003 output current is shown. Now My question is which is this current. I can connect motor in STAR or DELTA configuration and current will be different in both the cases (I mean Phase and Line current values). Also there are three windings U,V and W in motor. So is it the case that VFD is delivering same current to all 3 Motor windings (just 120 degree apart ) and it is that current ? Also is this the RMS or PEAK or AVERAGE current ? [/INST] Hello, d003[Output Current] is the total output current present at terminals T1, T2 and T3 of the drive, as measured and calculated by the internal drive circuitry. The total output current can be defined as: where Torque Current is the amount of current in phase with the fundamental voltage component and Flux Current is the amount of current that is out of phase with the fundamental voltage component. Torque Current and Flux current are not available from the PowerFlex 40 drive (there are other drives from the Rockwell portfolio that provide feedback on Torque Current and Flux Current via read only parameters). It is expected the value of parameter d003 [Output Current] to be different depending on the internal arrangement of the motor windings (STAR or DELTA). Those values should be in accordance with the relevant formulae for voltage and current in typical Start and Delta motor connections. Please note that the drive will not be aware of how the motor windings are internally connected. The drive will be able to provide an output voltage up to the same level as the supply voltage (the drive will not be able to provide more voltage out than the voltage coming in). It is important to check the specifications of the motor to make sure that the motor windings in the desired connection (STAR or DELTA) are rated and capable of withstanding the output voltage provided by the drive. The inverter section of a variable speed drive does not produce sinusoidal voltage waveform, but rather a series of voltage pulses created from the DC bus, also known as PWM (Pulse Width Modulation). More information on this can be checked via this document Induction Motor Winding Voltage and Inverter Drive Output Voltage Relationship Those voltage pulses will be applied to the motor windings and there will be a flow of current from the drive output terminals T1, T2 and T3 through the inductance of the motor windings. The value of parameter d003 [Output Current] is provided in Amps with two decimal places. This value is filtered by the internal electronics of the drive and is an averaged value of the real time PWM current waveform. Hi, Thanks for your reply. Can you just confirm whether it is RMS of the current or Average of current ? Also, As we have only one current value on the display so is it safe assume that U,V and W has same current and that value is shown on display. Regards, Bitesh Parameter 003 [Output Current] measures the total output current present at T1, T2, and T3 (U, V, and W). n </s>

<s>[INST] Unwind/Winder Application I have an application that currently has two unwinds, idlers and a winder. Basically, it is a machine that takes two unwind rolls and glues them together to wind them. I am looking at replacing the current air/disk brake control on the unwinds as well as the main drive. There are two load cells that control tension for each unwind and then the main drive runs as the winder. We were looking to replace this control scheme with Kinetix 6000 but I have never done a servo web handling application. Does anyone have any recommendations or concerns? I have dealt with unwind/winders with dc and ac drives but not servos. The customer wants servo control to keep things are pricise as they can get.. Any help would be appreciated.. Thanks, [/INST] Just a few thoughts, the servos have several different configurations that might help you. You can have the loop control position, speed, or torque. So for example you might control torque on the unwinds to provide resistance to the winder, which would be controlled by the load cell. Or you might run it in velocity mode and adjust the speed based on the cells. Another interesting option would be to run the axis in Dual Position Servo mode. You would use a small encoder on the load cell, assuming the arm moved radially like a dancer. This aux encoder would provide the position reference. So you set the move instruction to go to a specific dancer position, and the servo will automatically adjust the speed of the unwind accordingly. You'd basically be using the drive firmware to control the loop rather than something running manually. Many ways to tackle this. i have the same issue but im using air brakes on unwinds and a dc drive motor on rewind. i am having trouble with the air guage making extreme changes like ( 10lbs to 40lbs ) back and forth.. it shows to be doing the same thing as the trandeucer input as far as how quick its moving. what i would like to know is how can you make to input of the load cells more stable to where the numbers can be slowed down to where that would slow down the air pressure. i have tried everything i know to do. i am using rs logix 500 on a slc 504 control.. any help would be greatly appreciated !!!!!! thanks kevin :smileyvery-happy: The first thing is which control method you do using DC or AC drivers,I think if you want to use servo system for this application, To run under the Velocity mode is a good method.

<s>[INST] configure 1756-CNBR/E as CNBR/D On our ship we have a redundant network of 9 PLC units. All communication cards are 1756-CNBR/D Rev 5.45. We have 1 spare control net comm card 1756-CNBR/E Rev 10.7. The system is running under RSLogix 5000 Version 13.03. I would like to configure the spare card as 1756-CNBR/D Rev 5.45 so that I have a compatible spare part that is plug and play in case there is a problem. I have made a setup of backplane-power supply and the 1756-CNBR/E card. To this I connected my laptop via a 1784-PCC card and running RSlogix5000 / RS Linx When I start RSWho I can see the comm card, but it is 'unknown'. When I start Controlflash (downloaded latest version comms bundle 10_03_08), all I can do is upgrade to version 11.2.3 I can not see the firmware versions of the 1756-CNBR/D, although the catalogue number 1756-CNBR/D was selected. He only sees the latest version for the 1756-CNBR/E. Has anyone been confronted with this before? Can anyone please explain me how I can : 1) see this card in a correct way and not 'unknown' 2) reconfigure it as a 1756-CNBR/D Rev 5.45and see the backplane . using my setup (backplane-power supply-card-1784-PCC comm. card and laptop). I can not interfere with the existing network of the ship for doing this. Thanks. [/INST] 1) To see the card you should install the right EDS file which can be found at http://www.ab.com/networks/eds/ Use the EDS Hardware Installation Tool to install this EDS file 2) You cannot flash from one series to another (i.e Series B to Series C or D) with the exception of series A and series B modules, which can be flashed between series A and B. In this case you should first see the card in a right way in RSLinx, and this can only be accomplished with the right EDS file (see point 1) Just a couple of notes.... 1. I suggest to upgrade CNBR to latest firmware available2. Carefully read technote 36453 for rules/limitations on using series E to replace older modules. - fuzzy logic n </s>

<s>[INST] RSLogix 5000 TON Enabled but not Timing Summary: RSLogix 5000 TON Enabled but not TimingHave had a repeat issue with some timers involved with motion control on a 1756-L73 Controller with Firmware revision 19.13 Have had 2 recent repeat issues with a timer. During the rung execution a timer will enable but not start the timing process. Added some test bits to make sure that the rung was being scanned and active. Only after cycling the processor from RUN-Programming-RUN was able to clear the issue and have the timer start timing. Wondering if similar issues have been noticed before and if there is any firmware updates required or if the processor is just getting old, around 10 years old. Strange that for both occurances of the issue it was the same timer that had this issue. [/INST] I've never seen that be a legitimate glitch. Normally, I would think the timer tag was being used elsewhere. If a cross-reference doesn't show anything unexpected, try a new tag entirely in case it's being written to externally. n </s>

<s>[INST] Modbus TCP AOI using Modbus Gateway Hi, I plan on using a CompactLogix to communicate with a 12 module - 48 zone heat control system (Modbus RTU). Before I start, the reason I have veto'd using an Ethernet/IP <-> Modbus RTU gateway is because my application will require far more than 100 commands which seems to be what most gateways offer. My plan is to use the Modbus TCP AOI to communicate to a Modbus TCP <-> Modbus RTU gateway that will talk between the heat control system and the PLC. I was wondering if anyone had experience with this. Is the setup of the gateway important? (Whether it acts as a Modbus TCP server or client) or will any Modbus TCP <-> Modbus RTU gateway work? I've found multiple videos on people using the AOI for Modbus TCP <-> Modbus TCP applications but am unable to find any information on using the AOI to communicate over 485 with a gateway. I noticed in the Client AOI there is a Station ID included in the transaction UDT, which appears to be where you would determine the slave ID when using a gateway. Any information is helpful! Thanks Jeremy [/INST] Modbus TCP Client AOI supports up to 5 transactions. Based on your description, you need more than 100. It's possible to increase the number of transactions by changing the Transaction array size, but this is not something that I would recommend. Also all transactions are executed sequentially, so performance will be slow. Another option is to multiplex different data into the same transaction, but this will be even slower. If your TCP-RTU gateway supports multiple connections from the same IP address, then you maybe able to use more than one AOI pointing to the same gateway, but some devices will refuse more than one TCP connection from the same Client IP. If you setup Modbus Gateway as a client, then Modbus TCP server AOI will be processing one command at the time (slow), and you may still be looking at the 100 command limitation. My recommendation is to find an Ethernet/IP to Modbus RTU gateway instead, maybe use more than one. - Chaining Gateways sounds like a headache you don't need. Have you considered an EIP to RTU gateway like Prosoft offers? I'll bet they can handle 100 commands over multiple transactions. I have used Spectrum Gateways device for Modbus TCP and RTU on PLCs from PLC-5 through L81. They are dead simple to use but not as full featured in their command set. If it's just reading and writing registers they are worth a look. I have also used the Modbus AOI on a 5380 for 485 comms over a 5069-serial. But I don't use 100 commands so I don't know if that is possible. Aparian Gateway series B supports up to 100 commands. if you need more, then you can use an additional gateway. https://www.aparian.com/products/modbusrouterb Just for a quick requirements/sanity check, are all 100+ commands directed to a single controller or are you communicating with different addresses for each of the 12 nodes? Are you consolidating nearby addresses into single commands, or are you planning 1 address per command? I can only speak to Prosoft modules, but my first thought is that you could run out of memory on a single MVI56E if you really have over 100 reads with several addresses in each. The default configuration is for 600 read & write addresses each, though you can reconfigure for a max of 5000 total however you like. In my experience, though, I've always tried to have fewer reads grab larger blocks of addresses and then simply ignore the ones I don't need. I don't think I've ever had to deal with more than 20 commands on a single gateway. Chip I've always tried to have fewer reads grab larger blocks of addresses and then simply ignore the ones I don't need. This right here. n </s>

Ltd.<o:p></o:p> QUESTION: As per telephonic discussion with customer he told me that, <o:p></o:p> Since last one year they are having more issues in control card, catalog no. SK-R1-BP1, used in PF 755 series drives. Which are rated at more than 40 HP. Once in a while they are having fault ‘ X 08 not functioning’ or ‘X 05 not functioning’ and the drive does not run unless and until they replace this control card. Surprisingly they are not using any of these ports.<o:p></o:p> - In last one year they have replaced atleast 10 cards.<o:p></o:p> Request you to look into the root cause behind the failure and suggest us how we can reduce the failure rate. <o:p></o:p> please find the attachments of control card and fault message.<o:p></o:p> [/INST] Why is the customer replacing the backplane board? Why not replace the main control board? That seems like a much more likely suspect than the backplane board that has nothing connected to port 8. Note that port 8 and port 5 are on two different backplanes. Has this customer been replacing both backplanes? What option cards ARE installed in this drive? Anything at all? Encoder card? IO card? Safe-Torque-Off or Safe-Speed-Off? Is it possible to get a DNO file from this drive (using Drive Executive) or whatever the file format is for CCW? If you can get that file and upload it here, we might be able to help more. https://rockwellautomation.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/469632/page/1 The technote above goes through the troubleshooting / replacement for the problem you describe. You're at the step where the main control board should be replaced. Thanks for your quick reply. They are not using any option cards in option slots, they are providing commands to drive from embedded ethernet port. I asked them to provide parameter files, if I'll get one I'll definitely upload it here. Yes, customer had replaced both of the backplane in past and recently they also replaced the main board. currently, their system is working fine but they are asking about the causes of these errors. what could be reason of these faults ? Since no slots were ever being used, I think the original problem lay with the main control board being defective. Unless you have the end user send the board back to Rockwell for Root Cause Failure Analysis (and this is NOT a free service), knowing the specific reason will not be known. At this point, if the problem is solved by the customer changing the backplane boards and the main control board, you can tell them the main board was defective. I lean more towards the main board because you said the conflict error came up for slot 8 and slot 5. Each of those is on a different backplane board. For both backplanes to be defective in the same drive when they're not even being used seems highly improbable. The common factor for both of those is the main control board. Thanks a lot mate. Is your drive in a corrosive atmosphere....close to corrosive atmosphere? n </s>

<s>[INST] Cold Junction Sensor for a 1756-IT6I swing arm - what is it? Summary: What kind of cold junction sensor does the 1756-IT6I card use?I'm missing the cold junction sensor for a 1756-IT6I card I have on a test bench (using a 1756-TBNH/A terminal block right on the card). Is it possible to cobble up my own? Is it just a small thermocouple to sense the temperature at the card's terminal block? (Our local A.B. dealer doesn't have one in stock and I'd like to get my testing done without having to wait on having one delivered from wherever). Nick [/INST] Cold Junction Compensator sensors are typicall Resistive Temperature Device (RTD) sensors, since those have a pretty good absolute accuracy at the ambient temperatures the module is going to encounter. My guess is that it's a 100 ohm platinum RTD. Without the CJC, a typical Type J Thermocouple will read about 86 degrees F lower than actual temperature. Try a 100 ohm platinum RTD and see if you get a reasonable ambient temperature. RA Technical Support could probably figure this out; I haven't found this detail in the Knowledgebase. Thanks Kakkerlak, I'll give that a try. Nick I tried a 100 ohm platinum RTD and unfortunately it didn't work. End of a week... I ordered the part from our A.B. dealer. Hopefully, it won't take too long to get here. Thanks, Nick Part arrived from A.B. dealer and FYI, the cold junction sensor is just a thermistor. No spec's on it, so can't say what the thermistor spec's are. Nick Thanks for feeding back that info. When you get the CJC, measure it and let us know what you find ! n </s>

<s>[INST] Controllogix and Panelview Comm Is there a way for a 1756-L81E connected to a Panelview plus 7 performance to recognize a loss of communication with the Panelview. And vice versa, the Panelview recognize the loss of comm from the processor? I've set up a tag that sends the seconds of the Panelview to the PLC and evaluates if there is a change but that is a slow way to know there is a loss of comms. Is there something built into the system that can recognize a comm issue? [/INST] There is a couple of ways {[Shortcut]@IsPresent} int the PV. Or a GSV in logic. Is there some documentation on the use of those instructions? And to clarify this is via Ethernet and my understanding is that GSV doesn't work in that case. Here is a technote that shows how to use GSV to monitor status of anything in the PLC's I/O tree: QA4421 (Techconnect Reqd) Regards, RM The Panelview Plus 7 isn't added to the I/O tree of the ControlLogix L81E so that wouldn't work. If you want to try something completely different, here is a technote that uses ActiveX controls to play tag between the PLC and PVP: QA19466 (Techconnect required) You seem to be concerned about the speed of detecting the comm loss, though, and this method appears to be limited to a two second rate. Regards, RM You could potentially use the systemBlinkFast or systemBlinkSlow tags in the HMI to trigger a value change in a tag on the PLC, similar to your seconds counting. BlinkFast is 100ms and BlinkSlow is 500ms. Regards, RM Hi @Stephen Hancock were you able to find a solution? I also found QA50090 with an example that might be useful. The limit here is basically the short time you would like the comm loss to be detected. Is there a specific reason for trying to reduce this time?

<s>[INST] Getting supply authority data into FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix Has anyone tried to get the meter logged data from a supply authority into FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix. The supply authority makes the data available to the account holder online. I would like to automate the process of collecting the logged data and entering it into FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix's database so it can be used alongside the data collected locally. Are there any established protocol's or drivers? John [/INST] Hi John, unfortunately I'm not an expert on the subject, but would like to help in some way. Reading the User Manual I can understand that some devices from Rockwell Automation can be directly integrated to the FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix, while third-party meters and other data sources can leverage the OPC communication option to consolidate energy-related information into the system. FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix OPC enables Manager to collect data from third-party energy data sources through an OPC server that you provide. If not already done, I suggest to start from that document; here is the link to download it: USER MANUAL Another source of information that could be useful is the Quick Start guide for the Energy Management Accelerator Toolkit. Unfortunately the Toolkit has been retired, but the manual can give you some hints about meters communication and settings.

<s>[INST] powerflex variable frequency drive 753 EDIT: moved to Drives and Motion community -FL Hi, I was using a powerflex 753 cat no -20F11 N D 022 JA0NNNNN and recently it burned . On investigation I found out that this frequency drive is designed for 480 v 60 hz input whereas power input provided was 400 v 50 hz .

[/INST] Hello Mohan, The VSD has the capability of swapping between 400V and 480V using parameter 305. Parameter 305 is set to either 400V or 480V depending on the Catalog number of the VSD. This lead me to believe that the voltage range of the VSD is capable of 400V or 480V. This is explained in QA46486 and QA16097 I would suggest send the VSD to the repair shop, they will provide a detailed repair report indicating what components failed. Hope this helps. Agreed.

<s>[INST] Slow datalogging to mySQL server Summary: RSVIEW32 DataloggingI am datalogging about 1,000 tags at 1 min intervals. I switched to mySQL and partitioned the table into 2-day long partitions. I wrote a web application in Javascript, so anyone in the plant can select tags by name or number (autocompletes, e.g. enter 036 and all tags with 036, e.g. LIC-036 and their descriptions show up). It allows cross-plotting and zoom -- I used DyGraphs for plotting. Once I did the partitioning, the plotting application, runs relatively quickly. It can even calculate derivatives, totals, and averages with one click. The only problem it's giving me, after a year of datalogging, whenever I start RSVIEW32 or exit, it takes it FIFTEEN MINUTES. Why? This is a small number of tags to be logging, it seems like the software must scan the tables at start-up or something? How can I avoid this problem? The mySQL server resides on a different computer than RSVIEW32. I am running version 7.40. Is there any way I can look at what commands RSVIEW32 is issuing to the server and somehow optimize them? [/INST] Everything about mySQL is slower. Not related to RS I did some comparisons with MS's SQL Server about 1.5 years ago. Every thing in mySQL was 10 to over 100 times slower. First queries were especially slow so what you are reporting does not seem odd to me. Have you tried PostgreSQL. It was faster than mySQL especially for first queries but still not as fast as MS's SQL Server. The bottom line is you get what you pay for. n </s>

<s>[INST] Tag browsing What we have is a L64 processor that is deep into the yellow of the used memory. The system has already 3 processors 2 for motion and the third for the logic and recipe information. The the recipe tags are 6 UDT's that contain 50 potential Models for a total of 300 Recipes. These 6 UDT's use about 10 M of data. We have come up with two solutions and would like some feed back:The current batch look through UDT 1 for a match then UDT 2 then 3 so on so on till it finds a match. It then copies the Data to a tracking area that follows the part though the system. This way each we can have differnt models with different options through out the line. Solution 1:Can I have the batch search a fourth Processor tags as if it were it's own that would contain the Model data tags directly over the back plain and copy the matching Models information to its Tracking area. Solution 2:Create a Produced tag in the original Processor that asks the Data processor for model information. Then the Data Processor would search the 6 UDT areas for a match. When one is found copy the Model Data to a produced tag along with a complete hand-off bit. Then the Original Processor would consume this data after seeing the complete bit. Then copy this information to the necessary Tracking area. After completing the copy clear the hand-off tag. There’s probably a bit more to the steps of solution 2. I’m confident we could get it to work the main question is about solution 1. Is that possible to brows the tags of a different processor as if they where you own tags. [/INST] capple, I think solution 2 is the only. It isn't possible to browse directly tags that resides in another controller using RS5000... :smileysad: - fuzzy logic I though so but I knew I would get a concrete answer here Thanks The Produced/Consumed tags did not work.

Hi Luis, Error 33078 is transaction timeout, you may need to investigate the configuration and how you are triggering transactions, things like how fast the transactions are triggering, how many are triggering, what if anything is happening on database side, whatever query you have running in your database is taking too long, if the current timeout value is reasonable. You should investigate your database to improve it's performance. Refer the knowledgebase id BF19440 will help to troubleshoot problems with FTTM Data Collection. Typically increasing the timeout value will help but you may have to enable debug logging to trace through the transaction to see where it's spending it's time. Guidelines for Setting Various Timeout Values, refer KB ID: IN14976 Please consider that a TechConnect contract is required to access the above technote. Hope this helps. n </s>

<s>[INST] Emailing a Tank Value Every 24 hours Summary: Would like to set up an automated email message to give me a tank value every morning I have a number of tanks and have email working out of the controllers they are attached to, what im confused on is how to insert the REAL value into the string to be emailed out. [/INST] What hardware are you using? The more detail you provide, the better the answer you'll get. I Use Excel to run at Various Intervals throughout the Day to get Data out of Machine PLC's and create a Report, all Automatically. Some of my Reports are every 15 min, Some are every 2 Hours, Some are at the end of each shift, and 2 are Every morning at 8am. The 2 that run at 8am are 2 Machine I gather Data from in Mexico. I have also done similar things with Water and Waste Water Plants in My Past. I Like having all the Code in One Place instead of all the Different Controllers. Must have RSLinx OEM or Up, and Microsoft Office. I have 5/04's in my Plant Tied thru a Controllogix Gateway into our Company Network. Not done the email thing out of controllers but you can program Excel to gather all the Tank's Levels and send out a Single Email Report from Excel. Since the excel code goes out to the Specific PLC, you already know which tank you are getting the value for. All you are getting from the Tank is the Live Level value. You can take that value embed it into a text string in the VBA code and create a report, or even just append the value to a simple CSV file, or populate a cell. You cna even just have a file that you open up and have a nice report and when you click a button it gethers the values in the report and then print yourself. alot you can do with it. Of course a SCADA Package with Historian is the Best way, RSView, Wonderware, Intellution, Etc. Working on building up a Wonderware system at my plant. Already doing exacly this. See the attached pdf file for the code. I selected email me when others post a new comment if you want to respond. SLC, Micrologix and PLC5 all have functions to convert Integer to string formats. The AIC Integer to string. But for real you can extract the decimal from a real and then convert them and append to the string with a . in between. n </s>

<s>[INST] PowerFlex 755 Dual Encoder AqB Feedback. Summary: PowerFlex 755 CIP Motion With Dual Encoder AqB Feedback. Manuals are contradicting themselves.Hello all, Can you have a Universal Feedback Card in a PowerFlex 755 Drive and use Dual AqB Feedback on Both Channels with two A B Z encoders? I'm working on a project which involves dual encoder feedback and CIP motion (I've listed the hardware and software which I'm using at the bottom of the post). I've found that there is some contradictory information in the PowerFlex 750-Series AC Drives Programming Manual (750-pm001) and the PowerFlex 750-Series AC Drives Technical Data (750-td001). The PowerFlex 750-Series AC Drives Programming Manual Appendix F (Page 522) shows that in Table 30 Universal Feedback Type and Connections that Digital AqB can be used. The wiring for the terminals are shown in the table. The PowerFlex 750-Series AC Drives Technical Data Encoder Combinations Compatible with Universal Feedback Boards(Page 153) shows that two incremental A B Z encoders can't be used. I've attached Images of both tables to this post. (One is the image attached to the post, the other is the file. There seems no way for linking multiple images). Can anyone provide some more detail on AqB? Which encoders use this feedback type other than A B Z? Hardware: Guard Logix 5580 Controller (1756-L82ES). PowerFlex 755 AC Drive with Embedded Ethernet/IP & Safe Speed Card (20G11NB2P2JA0NNNNN). Software: Studio 5000 Logix Designer Version 31. RSLinx Classic Version 3.51.00 or Later. Cheers, Spencer P. [/INST] I am completely lost not being able to find what fault code 10138 is all about on the fault code manual for powerflex 755. Can someone guide me on this? Francis, You might want to post your own topic on the subject rather then in the middle of this one. That being said, I've found this that relates to code 10138. That was in the programming manual. I found it by doing a search (Cntrl+F) and looked for the code. I Hope this helps you out. After more research on the topic. I've come understand the the AqB is a protocol which is used in many different kinds of encoders, not just the ABZ encoder. So a combination of AqB is possible, but just not two ABZ encoders can be used together. Edit: If two ABZ encoders are required the 20-750-ENC2 card takes two incremental encoder inputs but occupies just one slot . Or two encoder cards can be used instead. Spencer, the 20-750-ENC2 card takes two incremental encoder inputs but occupies just one slot. Thanks TJ, Sorry I misspoke when I had wrote must use two encoder cards I've edited the above comment to reflect your advice as well. Cheers, SP. n </s>

<s>[INST] Allen Bradley tutorial training Hello Experts, Iam newbie in Allen Bradley software. Kindly post us with Allen Bradley tutorial training for: RSLogix 500 V20 RSLogix 5000 V20 FactoryTalk View Machine Edition V8 FactoryTalk View Studio ME V8 RSLinx Classic RSLinx enterprise Best regards....... [/INST] The Rockwell Literature Library has many user, programming, and reference manuals. http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/public/documents/webassets/browse_category.hcst If you have an OEM Toolkit license, then there is some pretty good training software that is part of the toolkit (RSTrainer). Your Rockwell Distributor may offer training (some free, some paid). You can also hire a systems integrator to help you with programming and training. Remember that this is a user's forum - Rockwell users helping other users. It is not formally monitored by Rockwell employees, though some do visit here to help. Hello, 1-What is OEM Toolkit license? 2-How to obtain toolkit for RSTrainer through internet? Best regards........ The toolkit license grants you one year's access to essentially ALL of Rockwell's software (including all that you listed in your post). It grants you access to all versions (current and past). This is a one-year license and you are expected to renew it each year. RSTrainer is one software package available with the toolkit license. When you purchase the license, Rockwell sends you a USB hard drive loaded with that year's releases. However, as upgrades and new versions become available throughout the year, you can download them from the Rockwell software web site. You need the license in order to access the site. The basic brochure is here: http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/ap/oem-ap055_-en-p.pdf Search the literature library for more: http://search.rockwellautomation.com/search?q=oem%20toolkit&site=literature&sort=date%3AD%3AL%3Ad1&btnG=Submit+Search&entqr=0&client=literature&access=p&oe=UTF-8&ie=UTF-8&ud=1&proxystylesheet=literature&output=xml_no_dtd&spell=1&getfields=*&filter=0&country=&lang=&hl=en You should also contact your local Rockwell distributor for more information and for pricing. Thank you very much for your reply. Hello, Kindly check the following link: http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/public/documents/webassets/browse_category.hcst I noticed that all the documentations doesn't appear together as before. Did Allen Bradley change the link? Best regards....... Is there any Laboratory practice to learn how to work in Micrologix 1100 RSLogix500 with an analog input sensor and the scale programming instruction ? n </s>

<s>[INST] FactoryTalk SE with Remote Desktop We have installed FactoryTalk SE (I think ME is also installed for that matter) on a workgroup server and when we try to open FactoryTalk Linx Browser, we have this error message: Read-Only. Unbale to change browser due to nobody log on. We rare connecting through Microsoft Remote Desktop. The funny part is if we try the same thing but, log on to the server using VMWare console, we do not have that error message. What I can understand is that while we logon interactively (the VMWare Console), FactoryTalk is acting fine but if we log on using Terminal Service we cannot use the software. How can we manage to use the software while using Terminal Server (Remote Desktop)? Version info for FactoryTalk Administration Console Release Number: 6.20.00 (CPR 9 SR 12) Service Release: 00 Build Number: 548 We are running the software on Windows Server 2019 Thank you, Mathieu [/INST] If I understand right, please open FactoryTalk admin console application in the PC first, keep it opened, then you can use windows remote connection and open other windows successfully. Actually this is the security default configuration by FactoryTalk, and you can use above method or change the security configuration in FactoryTalk Admin Console. Thank you for confirming the behavior. I did the adjustment using the policy and it seem to work as intended. Revised from previous response. After thinking about this and consulting people much smarter than me, I realized I ran into something similar when trying to remote desktop into the Windows core on a CompactLogix 5480. I believe this is controlled by a System policy -> security Policy setting that identifies terminal server clients. The default is terminal client so change it to server computer and you should be able to access the admin console. n </s>
