Hi Guys, Is there a way to logic AND array element in ladder logic studio5000 ? I have Array[BOOL 64], and I want to make sure all the elements are 1 to activate an LED.  I was thinking to use FAL instruction however this instruction does not accept BOOL. is there any suggestion ? Thanks,  

Thanks a lot, That was very helpful, I did it same way and it works as I wanted.  Thanks again

well, the value in array 1 changes dynamically, but in array 2 is not. and its ascending order. I want to check the array 1 element value with array 2 values and get the closest bigger  number in array 2 so I can update my target to the closest number  and repeat that for each element in array 1 example: target position =0  current array[1] = 20000, compare with the constant array 2 , which is between 18000 and 25000 values then take the closest bigger number and move it to the target position   

Hi all, I have downloaded the studio5000 emulator to test my application, I manage to download my plc program to virtual backplane emulator plc and got it run . Now I am trying to use factoryTalk studio with it, however I am facing an issue with communication setup. I have added RSLinx Enterprise server to my application, and I am trying to navigate to my emulator processor but I cant find it . in RSLinx classic it shows me yellow question mark as it shows in the attachment. can someone explain to me what did I miss? Thanks in adavnce

I figured out Thanks anyway  

oh do you mean I have to use LIM instruction to check my range and if its not within this range I write 0 then execute this rung ?

Thanks, but how can I do that in ladder ?

Hi all,  Q1- I would like to know how can I set up a pop up navigation button in FT. I need to do the following:  Click on a button will display a pop up screen that it has 6 screens pressing any of them will take me to the required screen.   Q2- I have another button once we pressed this button a confirmation message (yes/No) display if yes will take me to specific screen ?    Thanks for your response in advanc.      

Hi All, I am wondering if its possible with Rockwell multiple GuardLogix PLCs to monitor the same pointIO? and is it also true for safety process? If so could any one share with me articles or links in this regards. Thanks,  

Hi all, I would like to know what is the difference between Factory talk view - ME and SE. I am really confuse which one to choose for my application. Appreciate your response in advance.  

Hi, In my application, I have OMRON rotary increment encoder (E6B2-CWZ6C) connected to Axis encoder GX-EC0211 using EtherCAT technology to the master NJ501-1330. See attached picture The increment encoder used to control the position. I want to use the existing equipment to get the number of motor rotation so I can calculate the total work travel in mm Total work travel = work travel distance per motor rotation * No. of motor rotation Please advise if that possible without affecting the current application? And if so, how can I get this value? Appreciate your consideration and support in advance. Noor

Thanks Crossbow for your prompt response.

Hi all, Please, I want to understand how did they calculate the Command pulse count per motor rotation and the work travel distance per motor rotation in the software configuration. The module I have is  E6B2-CWZ6C 360 P/R - 2M . based on the equation that I have in the software, I would like to check the unit is configured right in my system. Thanks a lot for your support in advance.

Hi all, We have a machine to produce corrugated aluminium sheets that acts as space in the ERV cores. The finish sheets must have the following attributes: Aluminium to be corrugated perpendicular to the direction of travel of the material within the machine. Sheets with range in width from 165mm to 762mm Sheets with range in length ()with corrugation) from : \ without perforation 165mm to 1800mm with perforation: 450mm to 750mm Corrugation height (pitch) will range from 1.5mm to 6.0mm Right now the machine’s pressure is calculated manually using the pressure gage. Our goal is to replace the pressure gage with digital regulator. My question is how to calculate the pressure equation for this machine? I came up with this formula P= width size* Constant (CONSTANT = coefficient of foil aluminium = 2.2/100000), but unfortunately this formula did not work well. It gives me very high value! I am using click plc to program the regulator and c-more micro to program the HMI. Any suggestion or feedback would be appreciated and thank you for your support in advance.

I am looking for Panelbuilder 32 software but it seems discontinued. any suggestion of how can I get this software? I have Panalview 1000 and its program but I do not have the software to open the file. if anyone can help me with it would be great. Thanks and appreciate your response in advance. Noor

Hi all, I am wondering if there is a free trial version of Rockwell CompactLogix studio 5000. if so can anyone share a link ? Thanks and appreciate your response in advance. N.L.

Hi all, We are creating new machine and we need use the sap mrp system to control the machine. The machine is going to use 5 materials in order to run (glue, work order, foil, paper,...)each one has barcode by using one barcode scanner we scan all items and send signal to sap to create a serial number for the product once the serial number created the machine will run. When any material is close to running out Machine stops and informs MRP new material is required. MRP will require new material data (at least 1) before releasing next SN. My question is this way possible? And if so what is the side effect? will this effect the fasting of the process? Do you have any other efficient way to control the items. I am new graduate student and have not enough experience therefore, your feed back would be greatly appreciated in this regards. Thanks 

all variables are retained except MC_Axisname.ACT.POST, And the equation is based on this values therefore when the power cycle every thing goes to zero except the total number from the HMI. is there anyway to get this MC_Axisname.ACT.POST value retained? thanks

Hi Crossbow, I have an issue in retaining the left value when the power cycle, it goes back to zero. Is there any way that can retain the value? left size = total size- used size in mm where: The used length is = MC_Axisname.ACT.POST Total size: is an input from the HMI and its retained from the global variable table Left: is output display to the HMI which is also retained variable from the Global variable table Thanks

I need to display on the HMI the total I have used from the starting till the ending of the process. If I start with roll 500 m length, I want to know how much I used at the end of the process? will that possible?

I have a spool loaded with material and I want to monitor how much we used from it and how much left over in the running time. And I am wondering if it’s possible to use the rotary increment encoder in this case? I know t he rotary encoder is a position sensor used to determine the angular position over rotating shaft which used to monitor the spool position in my case. but I am thinking if there is a way that I can get the number of motor rotating? if I can get the number of rotating and multiply it by work travel in mm will give me how much I used from the material. I am thinking out load here and looking for your feedback/ advice based on your experience. Thanks,

Hi, Michale, I am working on this way programming the SD Memory card. On the other side I am just wondering if its possible to get the data from the HMI (PT) I am using NS8? I found some information “using the operation log function” option in the HMI to get the result in Excel sheet.  So just wondering if anyone tried it before, and gave you some result. Cheers

As a start Up I need to get end of shift data report.

Hi,  I am using HMI  NS8-TV01B-V2 system V8.6 programmed using CX-Designer and Sysmac studio for my PLC NJ1500-3100. I need to read som data in Excel spread sheet. any help would be appreciated

Hello all, I am using NJ501-1300 CPU, connect to HMI Via Ethernet and would like to capture data from the PLC/HMI to excel spread sheet. What is the best way to do that and can you give me some outline how to start? Is there any manual should I follow to help read data in an excel sheet? Thanks for your support.
