problem with Modicon 984-A131 PLC and BDAP-210 output module
Modiconbob replied to PaulKraemer's topic in Modicon / Telemecanique / Schneider Electric
Paul, As Boolfoot mentioned above, double check the traffic cop (I/O map) to be certain that those output numbers are (still) assigned to that particular card. Is this the only output card that is having an issue? Is there more than on rack of I/O? You may either have a wiring issue (I suspect that most likely) or a bad I/O card. ModiconBob -
modicon 484 automate
Modiconbob replied to goodman20003's topic in Modicon / Telemecanique / Schneider Electric
Yes, there are several options available.Wasan is correct, and this unit/technology is over 40 years old! The P180 was never able to record/copy the program, it was only a programming console. The P190 had both capabilities. To back up the existing program, it will require a J470 interface, a cable and PC/computer that is capable of running a DOS program. I have all of that equipment and we perform these operations still to assist clients in upgrading their processes. You may contact me directly via email to discuss some options to get this operation done for you. bobculley@deltaautomation.com Thanks, ModiconBob -

Proworx32 and Remote Rack Power supplies
Modiconbob replied to ltmartin's topic in Modicon / Telemecanique / Schneider Electric
The Proworx32 should be used to update the traffic cop/ memory map in the PLC for sure. That should correct how the STAT block responds to the card, eliminating the error. -

Yes, the baud rate is excessively high. What cable are you using? I am assuming that you have no duplicate addresses. What is the terminating resister value? What is the resistance across the network cable?

That is correct. But even on the "master" rack you do NOT need to kill power to replace an I/O card.

CPU434 to CPU534 upgrade
Modiconbob replied to BobLfoot's topic in Modicon / Telemecanique / Schneider Electric
The original 200 series with the "knurled pins" allowed for maximum I/O flexibility, but some folks didn't use common sense when setting them as you found out! -

Modicon 484 reprogramming
Modiconbob replied to Sashyanth's topic in Modicon / Telemecanique / Schneider Electric
Crossbow, you are correct! NXT will NOT communicate with a 484. A 484 is asynchronous and also needs a hardware asynchronous to serial convertor (Modicon J470). -

Collinsd70, you are correct. They work well but are costly! -

Modicon Quantum 140 1113 03 cpu
Modiconbob replied to gerdam's topic in Modicon / Telemecanique / Schneider Electric
Once the processor has lost its' memory, the comm addresses default back to 1 for MB & MB+. Once the program is reloaded and the processor is started to Run, the addresses will be set by the newly reloaded program. -

Modiconbob replied to gerdam's topic in Modicon / Telemecanique / Schneider Electric
What address are you attempting to connect? If the unit is defaulted, it has returned to address 1. -
You do not need to kill power to replace an I/O card. You can replace it "hot". You only need to kill power on the processor, remote I/O interfaces, power supplies etc. The J890 gets updated from the processor on power up. nothing to reload there. Also, no programming changes for replacement card.

Proworx 32 lite read from controller
Modiconbob replied to old&slow's topic in Modicon / Telemecanique / Schneider Electric
OK. Sounds great! I think the other way, I think the Modicon is the best....of course I worked for them for about 20 years too! LOL You are welcome to contact me directly at my office via email bobculley@deltaautomation. Thanks! Bob -
Proworx 32 lite read from controller
Modiconbob replied to old&slow's topic in Modicon / Telemecanique / Schneider Electric
Be certain that your communication parameters are set up correctly. (serial parameters,UBS, ethernet, etc). To just download, go to direct to online (dto), once online, you should be able to download the program. Let me know if you need more help. I can get on the phone with you if needed. Good luck. -
RIO Drop having communication issues
Modiconbob replied to speakerman's topic in Modicon / Telemecanique / Schneider Electric
What type of trunk cable (RG-6-RG-11-quad shield?) are you utilizing? How many drops are on the sytem? Do you have a rough idea of the total length of the cable? What test equipment have you used to trouble shoot? Bob www.deltaautomation.com bobculley@deltaautomation.com
