  1. electrical drawing software

    My previous employer used AutoCAD.... versions 2000,2004 & 2007Electrical If your famillair with AutoCAD the adaptation/migration/learning curve to 2007E isn't too bad. Do you need extensive training? I hardly doubt it. I was able to sit down with it for 1/2 a day and was pretty well versed in it... but I've been doing CAD as a hobby for nearly 10 years tho.
  2. ControlLogix Ethernet Comms

    Hey guys thanks for the help here :D Definately makes a noob feel welcome (at the job & at the forum) We are using Sherlock version 7 I belive. I was speaking with our vision guy and he said that there is an option for a ControlLogix string output. I think/hope this means we're in buisness :)
  3. ControlLogix Ethernet Comms

    Hello Gents, I apologize for the late intrusion (and lack of ability to help with the contribution to the thread)... From my understanding of the thread there is no way to communicate/send a string to a ENBT (1756-ENBT to be exact). I am using 1756-ENBT modules, a 1756-L62S LogixPLC and of course RSLogix5000. I'm just getting into the field (fresh meat from school) and my project requires a Vision PC to communicate to the PLC via ethernet (strings preferably). If I can't do strings is it possible just to send values for the tags (ex VARIABLE_1=1 or 0)? The vision PC is running Sherlock I believe (I will confirm later). We are scanning parts that are zooming by on a press line to check against an ideal part image. I will be recieving this data, storing it in the PLC and then sending an output to a PV1500+. Any help would be appreciated... Thanks Joe (sorry for hi-jacking the thread)
