Hi All. Was wondering if anyone has any ladder logic examples for controlling a Keyence CV-X vision system. There does not seem to be any examples listed on Keyence's website.
I have the CV-X connected to Logix via Ethernet/IP and it does respond to trigger commands. I am having some issues with changing programs in the CV-X controller via PLC control.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Hello,
I'm trying to find a solution to start a PID from 0% output.
So let's say i have a pump that start from 0% en need to increase by PID to the output % to control on the set-point. When the pump stops the PID keep controlling the output on the value it was. We want to start from 0% again when the pump start.
At this moment we do it by setting the PID into manual bij using .MO and we set te .TIE value to 0.0. But then every time we will see a manual hand on SCADA when the pump stops.
Hi,
I’m writing a program to control a puncher press. Basically the machine has a motorized high inertia flywheel with an 842E-CM single turn encoder directly connected to it. The circular movement is linearized to move a die that punches a steel sheet as the sheet advances under the die. One punch for every flywheel turn.
There are some machine functions that need to be activated and de-activated according to the flywheel position. I have to use the MAOC instruction due to high speed and high precision the process requires.
My problem now is that one particular function has to turn on at 200 degrees (The encoder signal has been scaled to 360.0 degrees) pass the 360.0 or 0.0 degrees point and remain “on” till 10.0 degrees.
So far I have not been able to find a way to do it.
Can somebody help me with that?
Hi,
Is there any way to disable the little preview window that shows up when you hover the mouse on a routine tab in logix designer?
I think it appeared for the first time in RSLogix 5000 V17.
I don't know if anybody else is annoyed by this windows but I certainly am.
Thank you
hello!
For a new project I configured a PLC ip to 10.10.10.10 (made the ip configuration with the usb port) (compactlogix 1769), the PLC is connected to a HP switch, communication seems ok
the PanelView plus ip is 10.10.10.20, (made the ip configuration directly on the pannel) the HMI is connected to the same switch, communication seems ok
and finally my laptop ip is 10.10.10.100, and here is the problem, my laptop is not able to communicate witch the switch , any idea??
Thanks for looking 
OK, I have a program in a Control Logix 5561 controller(ver. 19.52) that every time we go online with it, the communication between the PLC and the PC running RS5000 is so slow you cannot navigate the program efficiently.
I am new to this facility but I noticed the programmer used 20 different periodic tasks to organize their program, mostly running at 30ms intervals. several are set to 10ms and some are even set to 3ms. I have gone through and found out that the short interval tasks have been overlapped 10's of millions of times, and the combined total of all scan times is over 160ms.
I have a strong feeling this could be causing our comms bog down and possibly other erratic behavior but would like a second opinion.
This machine has 2 indexing dials, with work stations that do work between indexes, Pick and Place operations, etc. Is there even a need to be running these with periodic tasks?
All thoughts are appreciated.
Thank you
I created all of the FactoryTalk View ME Alarm Messages to be embedded strings that point back to the string data array in the ControlLogix 5000 PLC /*S:0 {[MAIN-150]ALARMS_NAME_STRING[0]}*/ this array goes from 0 to 500. This works great while under normal operations, and a new alarm event comes in, the string is read, and the appropriate alarm string is displayed.
When you have a power outage or an upset condition the existing alarms that are already present. The strings are not read, and the Panelview merely displays ?????????? for each of the alarms, as the string has not been read. But any new alarms that come in show the string text.
This is on a PanelView plus 1500
Is there a fix for this
Thanks

Hi all,
Does anybody have experienced problem with communication while connecting 32k and 16k plcs to same SCADA via factory talk linx?
Does anybody have got problem with communication while RSView32 and FTView were used simultaneously with same plcs in different pcs with different shortcut names?
I can't reset MSG instruction out of error state 16#001f with an extended error code of 16#0000_0100 (Error processing connection related service). Can anyone tell me what can be the source for this error? Some of the devices for which I'm also using MSG instruction work ok. I can't use the task monitor tool because "the Logix 5000 Task Monitor tool does not support ControlLogix 5580 or CompactLogix 5380 controllers" and I'm using L82E PLC.
I checked the IP addresses of the devices on my network and all seems good, I power cycled the PLC with also no effect.
Thanks in advance.

Anyone have experience with the old SLC-500s?
I have one machine that is about 13 years old and I think they used a new old stock SLC-05/04 when they built it.
Anyway I had a battery error, which makes sense since the battery was very old, and I lost my program when I tried to replace it, which makes sense because the capacitor which is supposed to hold the charge is very old.
When I tried to re-download the program to the PLC, I could not connect, I realized my issue now was no null modem... and my driver not working on my RS-232 to USB converter.
My question is: What is the port above the DB-9 port used for?
It was labeled PROG, so when my DB-9 serial cable didn't work I tried a serial cable for a mitsubishi FX series on the top port... and.... my power supply died.
Is this a common thing on SLC-500 power supplies?
Can you short them by using the wrong cable?
The weird thing is the fuse on the front was not blown.
Is there a fuse inside I can get to and replace?
We are planning on just keeping this machine a few more years so we don't want to upgrade it.
The CPU was fine afterwards.
Hi please, i will like to learn a few things about expansion module, how can the card number of an expansion module be identified,
how can the configuration of an expansion module be achieved using RSLogix 500, an example will be the expansion module attached here in the micrologix series
Newbie here
I am trying to do a basic factory talk View application. However, I am running into trouble using multi-state indicators to show the status of output bits. When I use multi-state Indicator for inputs it works fine but the output shows error on the indicator. When I look at the error it says it is the wrong size variable (O:o.o/1) for a digit tag assignment. This is the first time I have worked with FactoryTalk View studio so I am probably doing something stupid.
Hi , anybody know how to do reporting from FTview SE??
I'm attempting to establish implicit communications using a 1756-L71 as the Scanner and a Keyence KV-5500 as the Target. Keyence defines a connection as Input Only and configurable size. I was successful in connecting an Omron NJ501 as the Scanner using the Keyence EDS file. Omron displays the defined connection after importing the EDS file. I imported the EDS file using Rockwell's EDS Hardware Installation Tool. Upon creating the module in Studio 5000 I'm unable to see the connection that Keyence defines.
Is there a Rockwell setting that I'm missing? Is there an alternative to importing the EDS file? I don't have RSNetworx installed. Is it worth trying?
Second question. The defined connection in the Keyence is an implicit Input Only as opposed to Exclusive Owner. I can choose Tag type or Instance ID type. If I attempt this with the ControlLogix GENERIC ETHERNET module, How can I set it to Input Only?
Hi there, is somebody experience whereby the output of the 1769-OF4Ci is not responding on the value entered?.
Setting: 4-20mA
Res: 0- 32767 - PID set
whatever value I key in the output current remained.
please help.

Hello guys,
I'm new to the forum and pretty much a rookie in the PLC world.
Am currently working on the MicroLogix 1100 and trying to establish communication via the USB to DH485 1747-UIC. I have watched a couple o videos on YouTube, like this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSKZ8sS1-HM and also, tutorials like this one https://www.theautomationstore.com/how-to-configure-the-1747-uic/, but without success.
Reviewing some information provided online, I came across the fact that this adapter is compatible with the Allen Bradley SCL series.....but couldn't find out if it's compatible with the MicroLogix 1100. If this is not compatible, then which Ethernet-to-USB adapter do I need to use for my specific PLC?
Thank you very much in advance for all of your help.
Best regards,

Hello,
I have an interesting problem that no one in our company can really answer for me. We are using Drive Logix with a powerflex 700S phase 2 drive and controlling a machine that rotates 360 degrees, sits for a moment, then return back to zero degrees. We are using the MAM instruction to tell the drive to run the motor to its desired degree. The problem we seem to face, is when they change jobs, the weight changes and we have to adjust speeds in order to get the machine to rotate back up to 360 degrees. Otherwise, the motor stops short. It usually never faults or alarms, it just stops short. For example, they might run it and it will stop at 240 degrees or 315 degrees rather than the 360. My question is, why doesn't the drive continue to push the motor to 360 degrees? Why wouldn't the drive fault out on something like over current? It seems that it just stalls and stops. Sometimes, the machine will be running great, but on occasion (1 or 2 times a shift), the machine will stop short again. I am curious what causes this and how I might be able to fix this to force the drive to continue to try and get to that desired degree.
Thank you for any help or input!
I am attaching a RSS extension PLC file that I would like to have someone open and convert to PDF.
Thank you in advance if it is possible.
Hi everyone! I am new with RSLogix 5000 I just need some help. Is there a function block in RSLogix5000 that can be use to store real values? I need it for this, when the 1st value comes in it will be saved and when the second value comes in it will only take place the 1st value but will no be erased and so on. Many thanks!
