Hi Is it possible to do an online edit of 1 rung? I can only see that I could do do a change then download the whole program. Thanks In advance

Just found its ALT + F2

Hi Can anyone tell me what programming software is required to extract a program from this GE Fanuc HMI? Any manuals available for it? Thanks in advance
-
It's connected to a 90-30 series plc, I think it uses an ADC 311 COPROC in the rack. Looks like I need to recreate it all on a modern HMI.

Hi Does anyone know anything about the attached panel PC which communicates with a GE 90/30 PLC. Any information about how it was programmed would be useful. It seems to be a SCADA type application that runs on Windows 3.11 and is way past its replacement date! Thanks in advance

Hi I'm using TIA 16 and S7 1200 and have a DB block set up with 20 bytes of data which I want to move to QB100 for 20 bytes. I've done it with individual MOVE instructions e.g MOVE DB3.DBB0 -> QB100, MOVE DB3.DBB1 -> QB101 etc which is working OK but feel there must be a better way with MOVE_BLK or MOVE_BLK_VARIANT. I can only find examples where data is moved from DB to DB and can't seem to get anything to compile with MOVE_BK or MOVE_BLK_VARIANT. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

DH485 RJ45 switch or hub
ratcliffe_ic replied to Googs91's topic in Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation
I have connected 2 dtam units to one slc 5/03 with an rj11 (I think) splitter. You might be able to use this as a method but I have not ever attempted this. -
Have a word with your local vendor about logic master 90, it's also bundled on the versapro and profiecy software disks I think. Get a trial copy of either.

TSX 47-30 Memory fault LED
ratcliffe_ic replied to Victorybear's topic in Modicon / Telemecanique / Schneider Electric
Probably lost the program, but also watch out for faulty PSU AND lost program. If it was a black tab on memory module that would be a eeprom module but as it is a red one it will drop it's program. -
Messaging a PLC 2 over a 1756 DHRIO connection with an L81E
ratcliffe_ic replied to EquipmentAsOldAsMe's topic in Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation
Not sure this is possible with the CLX, I think your PLC2 needs to be on DH+ -
1747 - L532C SLC 5/03 fault
ratcliffe_ic replied to PaulKim1003's topic in Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation
If you haven't removed the memory module I've had this when the power supply is faulty. It powered up (there was a slight delay noticeable) but it dumped the program. Changing the psu fixed the issue. Of course the memory module could be faulty also. -
What is wrong with this SFC

Have a look at the TONR instruction -
What is wrong with this SFC
ratcliffe_ic replied to mister x's topic in Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation
Step 0 is set to a type N - non-stored which means the code in the step is continually scanned, so every time you set BACKWASH_START_PB to a 1 the code in step 0 sets it back to a zero. If you click the square box next to the N you can set the Qualifier to Pulse (Rising Edge) which means the code in step 0 will only be scanned on the rising edge of the step becoming true. -
Can someone tell me the main differences between these two HMI's, can the program from a MP177 be modified and put in a TP177?

Programming software for XBTB8140
ratcliffe_ic posted a topic in Modicon / Telemecanique / Schneider Electric
Can anyone tell me what programming software is used on one of these terminals and also if there is a special cable required. -
Programming software for XBTB8140
ratcliffe_ic replied to ratcliffe_ic's topic in Modicon / Telemecanique / Schneider Electric
Thanks for the info, I sorted it out this morning. The software is XBT L100 which runs on a windows 98 machine (in dos mode), its downloadable from the Schneider website. The cable is: 2-2, 3-3, 5-7 plus 6+4 linked, 7+8 linked at the 9 pin (pc) end. As you say its well obsolete but the client had purchased a spare from ebay and I needed to get the program from another unit to download into this one. -
You need a rung in your ladder program to put the devicenet module in run, download the manual from ab.com.

RS Logix v. 20.04
ratcliffe_ic replied to hashmi.mohammad's topic in Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation
The firmware does not need changing in the plc when upgrading to 20.04 from 20.01 or 20.03 -
I need to catch an input changing state which has a very short duration and I'm currently missing it due to scan time. Is there a way in Siemens to improve the chances of catching a change by programming e.g. using something similar to a Selectable timed interrupt (STI) from the Allen-Bradley world or maybe a FAST TASK? Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Hi, I'm replacing a system I did 10 years ago with Allen-Bradley with a new Mitsubishi system using a GOT hmi. I'm basically recreating what I did previously so the operators don't have to learn something new. In the old system I had a list selector where the operator would use arrow keys to scroll down the list of tanks (e.g. Tank A, Tank B etc etc) to select the destination tank, this would return a number to the PLC which would then open the appropriate valve for that tank. I can't seem to find anything like that in the Mitsubishi software (GT Designer3), can it be done?

OK thanks, I'll use a couple of momentary buttons to increment/decrement D0 in the PLC

Can anyone tell me if its possible to modify a program, load it on to a CF card then send someone to site to swap the existing card for the new one. The processor is set to read the card on boot-up already. If it can be done what needs to get loaded onto the card? Thanks in advance
-
Can anyone advise on the programming cable for this processor, can it be read with software or does it only work with a handheld programmer. Thanksin advance

I've backed up two machines with Proficy ME 8.5 and both show a red X on the project name. I think this maybe due to the processors containing software written in LM90 can anyone shed some light on how to resolve this. Do I need to download from Proficy ME to resolve this?
