Hi, I have a few PowerFlex 400 drives and One of them is acting really weird. I set the speed setpoint to 13Hz but it can't go over 1 hz. It is beeping and it says it is accelerating in CCW but it is not going over 1 hz.  It is like a sine wave. Going up and going down and continue doing this. I compared the parameters with the other powerflex 400's but it is identical.. I think it is an electrical problem but I just want to post it here to know if anyone had same issue before. Thanks  Have a great weekend,

@SSrikakolum The data type is strings. Change the data type to string and see if it works. 

Thank you @pturmel

Hi guys, Our automated equipment is using PILZ PLC and we are trying to replace it. Is there any other safety PLC that can be replaced for the PILZ PLC? Thanks    

Thank you @Hati  

Hi, I created a tag(paul) as dint. I have paul.%x0 and paul.%x1 and I can not modify them (to make them on/off) is it possible to enter a value into the monitor value? if possible, I would like to put 3 into the monitor value to make the paul bits ON.        

Hello, We replaced a motor so I decided to do the static auto tune by using CCW.  When I clicked "Finish" button at the end, I got a message "Failed to write a new value message - This parameter is only editable on the Identity Page." Is it because I opened a project with using discovery option?  Has anyone seen this error before? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you   Sinamics(G120) - F7800.pdf

Thank you @ElectronGuru !

@BobLfoot @Joe E. I turned off the PLC and replaced the cable. Now I can go online with the PLC :)  Thanks everyone who replied on this issue. This just made my day. Thanks again 

Hi, I have an issue with going online with 1768-L45 ControlLogix (version19). Its "set project path" was set up before and i used to be able to go online with the controller. I tried to go online with the controller today and It did not let me and its "set project path" is greyed out. We do have a few of 1768-L45 controllers but only this controller is having the issue. I am able to ping the controller's IP address as well. Is there something i am missing here? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you :)  Regards,     

  @BobLfoot - Thank you Bob, I did it but no luck :(  @Joe E. - Thank you Joe, I will replace the cable and post it here how it went.

Hello guys,  I stopped and restarted RSLinx and found out something. The controller has the yellow question mark with a red X on it (unrecognized Device).  I guess this is why it was not working. I can still ping the IP address.  Thanks for the replies :)   

@Joe E. - Yes It does show up @alan_505 - thanks for the reply

yes, I can see the processor in RSLinx.  I never had this problem before.. Maybe I should connect my laptop to the processor to go online with it :(. 

Hi @Joe E.   I already have done it but same error comes up :( 

@pcmccartney1, I am glad it worked out for you :) 

Hello I have a few of powerflex 755 and a couple of them are getting F12. We did not get this fault before and all of sudden, we are getting it. Can anyone tell me why i am getting this fault? Thank you :)

Hi, I can send you L5X file for an "Add-On Instructions" to add if you need.  Once you add the L5X file and download the program, you can calculate the "day of the week".  1. Make an 7 array of dint, for my example I have "WallClockTime" This is to get current date & time 2. Make a tag with data type with DayOfweek_LD, for my example, I have "DayOfWeek" This is where you can get the number of week. 0 = Sunday 1 = Mon 2 = Tues 3 = Wed 4 = Thurs 5 = Fri 6 = Sat 3.  I hope this helps you out but if it does not make sense, please let me know. Thanks !    

Thanks @Joe E. It is an existing project
