Hello, I have troubles with AOI PowerFlex 700. When I want to use it into the logic it says the tags "Inp_PowerFlex_700" and "Out_PowerFlex_700" are boolean tags but in the inside logic these tags should be  array tags. I attach pictures

I will appreciate your help with this issue...Thanks

I am attempting to create a ladder to totalize flow from a 4-20 transducer to record actual flow that can be reset daily for records purposes. All of my attempts have failed miserably. Does anyone have a program that will do this accurately?

DeviceNet to ControlNet

April 21, 2006, 7:16 am

I have a ControlNet network with six 1788-CN2DN linking devices to scan six of my DeviceNet networks. I am in the process of commissioning, and everything works great.....except....... When I power up the network (all CNet and DNet modules together), sometimes one or two of my CN2DN devices will not initialize communication with its DeviceNet network. The Module Status LED will flash red and the DNet Network status LED will also flash red. This apparently indicates a communication timeout, even though all devices are powered up simultaneously. But the rest of the networks will come online just fine. All 6 networks are identical, with 18 nodes each, and using ADR. The DNet devices are Allen-Bradley E3 overload relays. Whenever I power up, it seems like one or two of the networks will randomly fail to initialize. RSLinx and RSNetworx can both see the CNet modules, but the DNet is not online. Only by recycling power again to the CN2DN module can I get the DNet network to come online. This is a problem because the operator might not notice the communication timeout message until its too late; also, modules are in a remote location, so its difficult to recycle power to each one individually, and its undesireable to recycle power to the entire system. Besides, I don't want to ever have to recycle power, I want the doggone networks to come online at power up correctly! I'm working with Allen Bradley on the problem right now, but if anyone has any experience with CN2DN networks or any ideas, please give your suggestions. FYI these CN2DN networks are part of a larger system with 15 Control Net nodes and a Redundant Control Logix processing platform, multiple HMIs, ethernet, etc, but everything else is working fine.

Most of them are using the DH485 protocol and connected to 5/03 processors.I talked to my AB distributor he recommended a panelview 6 or 7 with a prosoft adapter. The quote was over 8,000$. I have been bying some of the automation derect c-more stuff for new applications but its been all done via ethernet. any suggestions?

Hello 

 i have a versamax icu200udr064 and i want to connect it with simatic basic panel ktp 1200 dp 

both support modbus rut but the problem is that i cant find GE communication driver on the tia portal by whom i program the HMI. 

One more thing is that i found a communication driver for modbus rtu but the tags addresses are in the standard form for modbus, so is there any solution for this? 

thanks a lot .

Intermittent Alarms at HMI Start Up?

August 22, 2017, 6:26 am

Hi,

I am using Factory Talk View ME v8.1 with RS Studio 5000 v24 on a 1769-L33ER controller.

I have a project that exhibits some strange behavior. With the PLC up and running normally I now fire up the HMI and it will sometimes immediately trigger an alarm. The alarm message is configured to display the failing measured numeric and the test limit values being used, and so it is obvious that there is bogus data (large negative numbers) in those tag values when the alarm triggers.  But when I watch the tags in RS Studio I can see that they are stable and correct where used in the scaling math during the HMI boot.  Once the HMI is active they behave properly as can be proven through alarm testing.  It seems that there are transient values being used as the HMI boots up?

Through the history of this HMI development I've seen the problem move to a different alarm, disappear, reappear on a different alarm, and now disappear again as new HMI builds are generated.

Can anyone explain what might be happening or especially suggest how to prevent it?

1769-ASCII Read Issue

August 24, 2017, 1:33 pm

I am trying to set up a 1769-ASCII card to read data from a Honeywell Intermec printer.

I am trying to monitor the LTS sensor so that I do not print duplicate labels.

Using hyperterminal when I send the command (PRINT PRSTAT) I receive the status bit then OK. it would look like this:

*****

0

 

OK

*****

When the first part of the message is 0 the label is taken and if it is 2 the label is still present

When I send the exact same command via the 1769 Card I ONLY receive the Ok portion of the message. I imagine the card is reading the 0 then overwriting it with OK immediately after.

I am sure the data is getting to the printer as when I send commands to print a label it works flawlessly.

The cable is wired as follows:

2-3

3-2

5-5

7&8 connected on PLC side.

Any insight as to what could be happening would be greatly appreciated :).

 

Cheers,

dWiseman

Newbie Screwed up AB 5/04

Greetings everyone,

I am using a VERY OLD laptop, Windows 98, the correct AB cable....and only used to download programs into equipment to restore in emergencies into AB 5/04.  I was able to connect to SLC 5/04 using RSLinx (used Auto-Config, all worked correctly) , and wanted to install a program from earlier version using RSLogix500.  It seemed to download correctly, the pop-up asked if I was sure I wanted to install new program, hit YES...then said it would change channel, pop up buttons were "ALLOW" or "DENY" (something like that). I hit "ALLOW".

All seemed good until I plugged HMI back in....had a bunch of codes it didn't like, so I went to install back to original version.  When I went through the same procedure (mentioned above)....5/04 and laptop no longer wanted to communicate.  I assume it has something with allowing the channel change.  As you can tell, I know Jack Squat...I'm not a programmer (duh), but was handed a computer with instructions....and now the machine is down.  Any help with getting me in right direction is highly appreciated in advance.  I searched the forum, and wasn't able to find a solution... I suppose it has to do with an in-experienced, well intending human messing with stuff he shouldn't be messing with !!

Queueing and FFL's

October 24, 2013, 4:46 pm

Hi guys, I'm trying do do something I haven't done before in a PLC program and wondering if it can be done simply. I'm basically creating a queue of recipes for the system to run. So I've used an FFL to add recipes to my queue, and then when the next recipe is loaded into the batching sequence, an FFU removes that recipe from the top of the queue and shifts everything else up. (Side note: As far as I'm aware, I use the same Control for the FFL and FFU instructions, can someone confirm or deny that rumour? ) But what if I want to add a new recipe in to the START of my queue, rather than the end? Is there an easy way to shift everything in my queue down one place, and add a new recipe into position 0 in the array? In my mind, it's similar to a BSL (Bit Shift Left), except I'm using INT's not BOOL's. Thanks!

I am currently using a Kinetex 5500 Servo Drive with a VPL Motor and its has vertical load attached to it. My problem is even after setting my Brake Enagaged time to 0.01s it drops like a dime. I had made sure that I kept my Servo STO enable for 5 second before MSO is shutoff and MSF is engaged.

Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? Attached is an action parameter settings for brake control.

FactoryTalk Activation Manager Version 3.40.00 RSLogix 5000 ver 17 & 19. I have one concurrent license for RSLogix5000 on my activation / license manager back at the office. I'm at home trying to start Logix 5000. The activation manager shows that the license is available. I have path to activation set to 27000@myServerName. (See http://forums.mrplc.com/index.php?showtopic=21500 for info on port number.) If I try to start RSLogix 5000 the splash screen pops up but after a few minutes disappears without saying another word. If I try to borrow an activation through the Activation Manager first I get error RS5000.EXE: The server's activation file does not have the requested activation. Anyone know what's going on? Many thanks.

Read Modbus holding registers with RSLogix?

I have connected seven GE Multilin relays to a Multinet TCP/IP adapter with the intention of bringing data to an InTouch SCADA system. I can see and read when using GE's Enervista interface so I know my adapter is working. Can I read the slave devices with commands from RSLogix to present the data as tags to SCADA? I have a Prosoft module in a test stand but there is no room for another module or another rack in this control panel. Hence I'm looking for something I can program into the local PLC. I'm just learning Modbus so my head is spinning a bit, use small words if able to assist ) Regards, Steve
