Hi, I'm working on Mitsubishi MR-J5-70A amplifier, and need some advice on selecting fuse size. Main power is 1ph 240VAC, and in the manual, it says that for main power, 1ph 240VAC for rated current of 6.5A, and for controller power, 1ph 250VAC with rated current of 0.2A. will it be ok to use 6.5A fuse for main power and 0.2A fuse for controller power? or what calculation or table do I need to use to select proper fuses? Thanks,

thank you, my problem has been resolved

So, some more details. The BSL and BSR instructions operate on a rising edge of the rung enable. You would enable the instruction once every time the encoder turns enough for a part to have passed by. The last one I did is in a CompactLogix. I had to create a tag called "Track_Array" of type DINT[1]. The Array tag of the BSL instruction was Track_Array[0]. Its Control tag is a new otherwise unused tag and the source bit (for me) is an Always_Off bit. Length is the number of parts that can be on the conveyor plus a few. If the conveyor is more than 32 parts long, you'll want to have your Track_Array tag bigger. For example, DINT[2] will get you 64 positions. The one I did was anchored at the load station being station 0 so I used a BSL. If instead you want the end to be bit 0, you'd use a BSR instead. Doesn't really affect things other than how you think of it. Here's the rung with the BSL. CAM_00 is on once per machine cycle. In your case, you'd flash it once every time a part spot has passed by on the conveyor: Here, we set bit 1, which is where the servo loads the blanks: Here, we clear bit 8, which is where the finished parts fall out of the machine. Like I said before, I'm not 100% sure this is really the best way to proceed for you. It may make more sense to use a FIFO array. Use an FFL instruction every time a part passes by the sensor and an FFU every time a part arrives at the end position. Downside to using a BSL/BSR is if the parts can slip on the conveyor. If that's not an issue, the FIFO won't work if parts can be removed from the conveyor between the sensor and end. That's why it's good to have multiple tools in your belt.

If all you want is to store good/bad, use a bit shift array using a BSL or BSR instruction. High level description: You'll execute the BSL/BSR once per "interval" of the conveyor's movement. Let's say the end position is at bit 0 of the array and the sensor is at bit 20. The sensor will set/reset bit 20 of the array while the reject/whatever sequence looks at bit 0. A BSR is fired to shift the data automatically.

I'm working on a retrofit controller for my Leadwell 550E VMC. The tool changer is different on this machine than what comes setup in the new 3000M controller, mine has a up down function for the umbrella style too changer. I outputted the ladder file from the new 3000M controller and it came out as Ladder01.GRP. Does anybody know what ladder program can open and edit this kind of file? I tried RSlogix and AD's do more designer and neither worked. I can open it with hex editor and it will display some of the I/O but cannot edit anyting meaningfully. The ladder is 1600 lines of code and i can possibly edit it at the machine, but i really don't want to work through that long of a program standing at the machine. LADDER01.GRP

Firstly, thank you for your answer! Secondly, yes they are the same size. Im trying to make the proper code for the task. I made in the first row, a signal when a bad product is detecting I raise a counter like 1, 2, 3 4. ... and so on. In the next row I check wether the counter is equal to 1 if yes, then I start to accumulate the pulses from the encoder until its reaches the 500, at that point I make a Stop signal, then I clear the counter. Of course there is a possibility, there is a new NG product can appear before the former one stored out, so if the Bad_product_appear bit is active again then the Counting counter isgoing to be 2 and it sarts to count also for the second, as the same way as before. My question is what if I have to make like 200 row like this, I think there is a better solution. Anybody can help this, if my explanation is poor Im sorry, I try to answer for every question. Thanks ahead.

Ethernet/IP communication with Allen Bradley PLC in network
Joe E. replied to Deeksha's topic in Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation
I've seen many applications that used the dual ports in a daisy-chain configuration. Is the main drawback that all downstream devices go away if one in the middle is powered off? Or is there another reason too? -
Are the products all the same size? If so, I would first create an array big enough to have one position for each place a product could be on the conveyor. Array could be bits or integers, depending on how much info you want to track. Use the encoder to advance the array. Write to the right spot in the array at the sensor and read from it at the "store" position. That's my first pass thought.

I can tell you about a year ago I dealt with the same issue on a QPJ similar to that. it appeared that it was dead but you could hear it change screens and work still. The contrast was shot on it. someone somehow messed with the contrast. the best thing you can do is try to change it blind. I think pressing in the bottom corners of the screen at the same time will pop up the contrast adjustment, and you can pick a square at the bottom after that to change it. I probably have some pics here somewhere I can put up to give you an idea of what it looks like.

Trippled the number the panels we build a year. Looking into the cut, strip, ferrule crimp tools with the barrell chamber that holds a strip of ferrules and you just stick the stripped wire in and crimp. Looks like there are 3 popular versions. Phoenix Contact 1200101 Crimpfox 4 in 1, Weidmuller 9020000000 and Panduit CT-1000. Anyone have experiences with these or any other I may have missed? Recommendations?

Ethernet/IP communication with Allen Bradley PLC in network
pturmel replied to Deeksha's topic in Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation
Wireshark can only capture packets that arrive at the PC's physical network interface. That often requires using a special mode on your switch to "mirror" everything to the PC's port, and ensuring that all devices are connected to the switch. You will not be able to capture traffic from daisy-chained devices. (The dual ports on AB devices should only be used for real rings.) The mode problem suggests that the device in question is "owned" by something. What are these devices? Please also show your Studio 5000 I/O device tree where Device1 and Device2 are present. -
Your internet research is correct. The C20K is very old and has been obsolete for many years. The option you list could be expensive. Even if you got the PC adaptor, the software is so old you would have a difficult time getting it work on a PC. I would highly recommend getting a CP1L as a replacement.

You can download the latest version via your MyMitsubishi Account. V1.662 is the latest one i think

Ethernet/IP communication with Allen Bradley PLC in network
Deeksha replied to Deeksha's topic in Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation
Also, for my device 2, where port 0 is connected to device 1 and port 1 is unused. But on studio 5000, I see both ports are checked with port 1 marked as inactive. I tried to uncheck the port 1, but it says that can't perform operation due to module mode. I don't understand how to fix this. snaps are attached. -
Ethernet/IP communication with Allen Bradley PLC in network
Deeksha replied to Deeksha's topic in Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation
Thanks for the reply. My two devices are connected in line topology, Device 1's LAN port 1 is connected to router and LAN port 2 is connected to device 2. Then PLC is connected to router. router is connected to my PC. only one PLC and one EIP module, both are Allen Bradley. PLC - 1756-L81E and IO module - 1756-EN2TR. Yes, using msg instruction to talk to my both devices. snaps for three tabs are attached. On wireshark, I am able to see packets only for port between PC and router. How to inspect nested responses in wireshark? I tried to look into the packet, but couldn't decode. -

The Integration of PowerFlex Drives in a Schneider Control System
Asrarmeryem posted a topic in Modicon / Telemecanique / Schneider Electric
Hello, I am reaching out today to ask for your assistance because I am in need of your help. My internship project revolves around the communication between Rockwell components and the Schneider controller. I have utilized EtherNet/IP communication and added the EDS files of the components into Control Expert Classic (V15). My issue lies in successfully communicating with the drives; while I have managed to establish communication with Point I/O, I have been unable to do so with the drives. I have a PowerFlex 400 series B drive with a 20-COMM-E series A card. I have added the drive's EDS file into Control Expert Classic. Additionally, I have a PowerFlex 700 series B drive with a 20-COMM-E series B card. I am nearing the end of my internship (final study internship), with only 2 weeks remaining, so I am earnestly hoping to find assistance. Please, help me. Details: Schneider Controller BMEP582020, PowerFlex 700 series B drive model: 20BC3P5A0 AYNANC0 (V 8.002), with 20-COMM-E series B card (V 4.001), and a PowerFlex 400 series B drive model: 22CD022N103 (V 8.002), with 20-COMM-E series A card (V 1.007). -
That's not how you search. Download the latest manuals if needed. Then patse SH081257ENG-8C2 in the search bar but change the [ALL] button into See attached doc e-Manual Viewer Page ID and KB Doc ID Guide.PDF

Help - I know so little, don't even where to post this! - But I am trying to fix my problem on my own! I have an Omron Sysmac C20k in a machine that used to work until the board battery went dead. I installed a new battery. I have the mnemonic code that the machine uses. My internet research says… If I buy: A Hand held Console C200H-PRO27-E, A Hand held Adapter 3G2A5-AP003 A Hand held Cable C200H-CN222 – I should be able to input the code myself following the SYSMAC C20K Controller User Manual. - - Am I missing something? Anything??? Thanks you Guys!

I would make it precisely to fit my needs. Maybe Mitsu has something built-in, but I'm not a Mitsu expert.
