  1. Thanks anyway guys. It all just came to me a while ago that using the manual 1769-in087 page 16 "config dat file" and the chart on pare 18 "range and data format selection" I just figure the two words out in a binary code and convert to hex and enter those values on the generic extra data config tab under the I/O configuration in the setup of the program. added the manual to this post for ref.1769-in087_-en-p.pdf Thanks Again, Alan
  2. Trying to setup a system on a micrologix 1500 with analog output cards need the 0-10vdc output to drive some cards. I have never done this on this format and am getting confused on how to configure the cards. Tried to follow the manuals and that is where i get confused. I go to the I/O config area of course the cards are not a choice so it gives an "other" with "I/O module- ID code 48". When I double click on this it brings up expansion general config. By the manual it shows that vendor id = 1 product type= 10 product code= 48 series= A input words= 5 output words= 5 extra data length= 32 then this will give you a generic extra data config tab. I am lost at this point for sure. I have never setup these cards before and all the charts in the manuals do not explain this enough for me to follow. I thank you for your input and help in advance.

  3. I am upgrading several old SLC systems to Micrologix controllers. I have ran across an instrustion in a SLC 5/03 program that is not supported in the micrologix system and have never seen used anywhere else. it is the "DDV" double divide function. Help in RSL 500 states that it divides the contents of the math register (s:13 and s:14), containing 32 bits of data, by the source and stores results. Is there a alternative to this in the 1500 or how should this be handled? I am confused on this. Thanks for any help on the subject.
  4. quickpanel with quickdesigner to new qp with proficyview

    oldbox110212.prjOK i have tried importing one way then tried the last way suggested to import. Both ways i was able to import the old quickdesign project and then PME(version 7) converted it to the new quickpanel view version. Either way i end up with all kinds of errors mostly error 4380: invalid address. With the inspector screen under variable going to the I/O address to be changed. One way converted the address to what i origionally put in my build version from what i read in the old project file. The other conversion generated different I/O addresses but still not able to be validated. What I had changed to in my original build was able to validate. I know with RS plc software some address can be written as b3:0.0 which is like b3:0/0. The way i had redone my address as stated are IR50:0 the omron plc has this address as R0050.0. I will include a copy of the original project from QD 3.7 with this post. The comm link driver i am using is the only real choice i have which is (OMRON HOST LINK). I do appreciate the help here so far. CAS
  5. quickpanel with quickdesigner to new qp with proficyview

  6. I have a machine that has the old TotalControlProducts Quick Panel in it. This are no longer sold or supported since GE bought the TCP line. So the new GE Quickpanel replacement does not directly replace the old. Had to also get the GE Proficy software. I have set down and got a good grasp on this and have since created a new project for this new QP HMI. The address for the I/O in the old quickdesigner panel used such addresses as: IR50:B1, IR60:B4, HR0:B1, IR100:B10 ..... and so on. This caused nothing but errors in the new Proficy View. I did figure out that the "B's" after the colon were not liked so much by the software. Ok, i got rid of all my errors and was able to validate and download this into my new GE Quickpanel. I believe i have everything setup properly in the Project to go to the Omron cqm1-cpu41 plc unit but when I tried to check out the operation I was showing the ? marks on the hmi as if the address were either no good or i do not have proper communication setup. I know i may need to give a little more info here so please let me know what i need to let you know to help me. I have been doing plc work for over 20 years. I know i am be missing something simple. Do i need to change the hmi addresses to something a little different. I noticed that the plc program list things like r0050.1 before i go through and change all of that again want to know which way i need to look. Thanks for any help here in advance.
