Thank you! That worked. I work with these panels as little as possible. (Customer preference) So my experience with these are minimum. It is much appreciated. Best Regards,

I have the push buttons set at 250 ms. This seems to be ok. the main problem is my multi-state indicators and numeric displays take way to long to update. The process is over before they even update. I'm not seeing where you can change the update time for these components. Thank you for the response.

I have recently set up a Panel view plus 700 with a Micrologix 1400 , using ethernet for the communications 100 Mbps full. The issue I am having is that the panel view seems to take up to 1-2 seconds to update values from the PLC. Using ethernet I would think this should be much faster. I had the same problem with using a Compact plus with the same PLC type. There is no noise, heavy tracffic or any of the such. Same problem if I have the PLC and HMI hooked up on my desk and not in the enclosure. Does anyone have any suggestions or is this just an inherent issue with the PLC or PV? Thanks,

Is it possible to send data from channel 1 to channel 2 using the non-procedure protocol for testing? I need to set this up offline for testing before installation at customer facility. If anyone has any ideas or suggestion it would be most appreciated. I have very little experience with this module and need some help. Regards

Thank you very much! Your softare was very usefull. I also like the base and unit conversions as well. Regards,

Have you enabled your channels and set up parameters through the PLC program or by GX Configurator AD?

Thank you, one more question, I want to send this data from my PLC to my laptop as a test so that I can capture and see how exactly how the string will be sent. What would I need to do in my laptop to set this up. Ultimately this data will be sent to a printer. I just need to do this as a test. Thank you for your time. Regards

Any one have any good suggestions on how to capture transmitted data from the QJ71E71-100 ethernet module. I need to send a ascii string via TCP connection and capture this data being transmitted. Just as a test for a new project. I would like to be able to view in notepad. Sorry if to vague. Thanks,

Update I installed VM workstation and have all of AB software up and running. The only real problems I encountered was the USB 3.0 ports. VM Ware and Windows virtual PC won't attatch those. Luckily I have 2 usb 2.0 ports and I use a hub if more is needed. I have all of my AB softtware and others that are used on the uquipment with Allen Bradley PLC's on VM ware and all of the Mitsubishi, Keyence, Proface, ect. on Windows virtual PC. This way I don't have to dedicate so much memory to either virtual machine and to test both VMs . So far no problems. Works out very well. I am supprised. Regards

Is it possible to use retentative timers in structured project in ladder mode, When doing the compile I get an error code f1028 Which states a device of the device range is set in the device /label automatic assign setting or a device which cannot be used due to system reservation is being used. I wish they would give help remedies for the compile errors in the software without having to try and look for it. But if anyone has some suggestions it would be most appreciated.

Migrating from windows XP to windows 7. Any good suggestions on running RS Logix 500 vers 7.10.00(CPR7) Is it possible on Windows 7 or a VM in XP mode? I'm sure someone has by now. Or I hope. Regards

You can only use this for speed or torque control but not for actual positioning. You would need a F3U-20SSC-H special function module for using a servo in position control. But if you only want to have speed control and not position control than you can by analog output.

I ran a packet sniffer and may have found the problem. The sniffer software is saying to change the port binding from the network to the GOT. I am going to review with IT tomorrow since I do not know enough about this area. Hopefully we can resolve soon.

Good chance that when you changed your PLC out you didn't take note of operating parameters stored in data or file registers. If possible try and pull them out of the original CPU. Also have you made sure to check your communication parameters in transfer setup.
