Programmatically Change IP address of Target Module
ProgLogConfuser posted a topic in Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation
I have a 2 CompactLogix PLCs running right now, communicating CIP Safety and Standard data over Ethernet I/P. For reasons I can't explain right now, the IP address of the second one HAS TO change semi-randomly (the 1st PLC is static). Setting the 2nd PLC's IP to static or assigning it a static DHCP address is the obvious solution, but for the purpose of this question, that cannot be done. Is there a way to programmatically change its IP address on the 1st PLC's program? (There is an HMI attached to the 1st PLC and adding a screen to enter in the new address would be trivial.) The only bit I'm still missing is how do I change the IP address on the module in the 1st PLC so that it's pointed at the right IP address of the 2nd one when it changes. I found instructions on how to use msg instructions, but that hasn't worked yet. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! -
Ethernet/IP bus line topology to ring.
Jiggadoo posted a topic in Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation
I have an Ethernet/IP bus and system including Ethernet/IP devices with CPU 1756-L81ES ControlLogix. PLC is connected to the switch. Bus is built from the switch as a line. Can I connect the last device on the bus back to switch again? In thes case bus will be ring. Do I get problems with connection it this way. Switch is Stratix 2500, which is lightly managed switch. I believe it will increase the traffic in the bus. -
SoMachine, Web Visu download csv file
sst posted a topic in Modicon / Telemecanique / Schneider Electric
Hello I have a M251, running a webvisu. I have created a program to create a test report to a *csv file and store it on sd card. What I want to do next is to allow the user to download the * csv from the webvisu and not via ftp client like Filezilla. On codesys forums I see there are file up and download options for buttons (click behaviour) but they are not available in Somachine 4.3. One option I am considering is using the TCP server and steam the file manually from a button click. I dont want a ftp client as now the customer will then needsoftware on his pc, this plc is a portable test system and will be controlled by many different pc's. Is anyone aware of a simpler way to do this? -
Hi! I was doing an project using function block, but at one point it became too complex to use FBD so I would like to use ladder. I'm using an ihm and that's why some inputs are of the network type, in FBD, it's easy to use the network i/o, but in ladder, the network inputs, where I receive data from the ihm, don't have outputs for me carry out the logic. How can i do this? USING FBD USING LADDER As you can see, theres no output on network analog input, on the digital to!

Is there any way to monitor ethernet/ip bus, states or faults and to make an alarm to the panel alarmlist. I am using IO-stations (1734-AENTR) and I would like to monitor somehow the system. I feel that reading the slot status of the 1734-AENTR device is not enough, because it is not possible to monitor all the cards in a slot. How to get alarm on a screen if I lose any station on the ethernet/ip bus?

I have a PLC 5 program that is acting as a master controller for several other various PLCs. I have found where an input is coming in off of ControlNet. I went to the relevant ControlLogix program but I cannot find where this output is being written to. I am fairly new to Rockwell as I have come from a Melsec background. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, I have the following configuration where 4 PLC panels, with each having a Q12PH CPU and QJ71E71-100 module. All these QJ71E71-100 are connected to a HUB using straight cable. From the HUB one connection is going to an I-Fix SCADA which is already communicating with all 4 PLCs using MC protocol. I want to send data from 3 of this PLCs to the 4th PLC in the same network using fixed buffer communication. Can anyone provide a sample program for the same. Send and Receive side. I am using GX Works 2 for programming. Your help is very much appreciated.

Ran into this unique little "bug" today. Tag Variable is INT , Tag Output is REAL Using CPT Instruction (Variable / 2000) * 700 results in an output of Zero (0.0). Using CPT Instruction (700.0/2000.0)*Variable results in a non-zero Real Number (350.0 for example if Variable = 1000) Turns out reading the help, that CPT does math in the type of the first variable encountered and then converts to the destination type. Thus 1000/2000 in Integer Math = 0 and 0 times 700 equals 0 which converts to 0.0 Sharing just cause I'd never hit this "bug" before.

This is a 1756-IF8 rev 1.5 Analog Input module. This has happened a couple times where the Module Input Data, (not mapped), goes to the high limit and freezes (Data Monitor data is static). Plant operators pointed out the trending wasn't accurate. There is no fault on the module, no yellow triangle on the system tree for the module. The Module properties show no faults, and RUNNING. I have done a "Reset Module" both times, (Module Properties - Module Info tab), while monitoring the module data. As soon as it resets, instantly the Data Monitor starts showing live data. I'm going to try and replace the module at first, but I have some concerns. Has anyone run into this before? I can't seem to find any information on the "Reset Module" animation, and what it actually does. Any information, (or where to look), would be appreciated. I don't like to hot swap, but I believe I will need to in this case, (utility). Will the current properties, e.g. scaling transfer to the new module? Thanks Dave Redman

Hello, Just made this account to get an answer hopefully quickly. I have an existing Omron CJ1M that is talking to a ControlLogix over a CJ1W-EIP21. I don't have experience in configuring Omron PLC's, but the Omron and Allen Bradley are already messaging to each other. My question is how can I get more words to be transferred between the two plc's? There are already 4 words (INTS) being transferred and are working properly but I have used up all the bits and am now needing at least 2 more words. I know in RSLogix 5000 I need to make the array size bigger, but where/how do I do that in CX-Designer? Thank you for any help.

I am trying to connect an Advantys RIO island with a STBNIC2212 ethernet/IP to a Omron CJ2 PLC. I need an EDS-file for the Omron Network Configurator but the Advantys Configuration Software will only export to .xsy for NIC2212 (Ethernet/IP), only way to get an EDS is to substitute the NIC with a NDN2212 (DeviceNet), but I doubt that will work in the Omron Network Configurator. There is an EDS file on the SE-website, but it seems to be a different setup than my island. I thought ethernet/IP should be easy :( Any suggestions? Geir

Hi there! I've been working with NB HMIs with good result. But today I loaded a project to a NB7-TW01B and it feels slow, both offline and online. Switching screens and reading/writing take around 1sec or more. It first had some bmp images created with .bmp and .png files, so I tried using vector graphics instead, but didn't get any better. I don't have another NB to try it right now so I'd like to ask you if you've been in this same situation before or what could be causing this. PLC is CP1L and communication it's via Ethernet. Both devices are actually pretty close (cable is less than 3m) and the previous HMI (Pro-face GP) felt a lot faster. Thanks in advance!

PF527 Control Sync Alarm / Module Sync Alarm
Jiggadoo posted a topic in Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation
Hello Sirs! I have a problem with PF527. I get alarms 'control sync alarm' and 'module sync alarm' occasionally. I suppose this meaning that PLC is missing some data from the PF527 device. How to confirm this or what should I do with the problem? Any ideas? Motion group update period is 8ms. Also this device is the last device in the ethernet line. I am thinking to pull the cable directly to the switch near PLC. I am not sure does it help? -

Hi guys, i got some problem when connecting to ethernet modules to 1 virtual computer. My virtual computer has IP (11.20.103...) my 1st ethernet has IP (11.20.52...) and my 2nd ethernet has IP (11.20.96...) i can connect the 1st ethernet to virtual computer with mx component, but i cant do that with second ethernet module. Are 1 virtual computer just can connect to 1 etherner? Or the third IP must same each other? Can anyone help me Thank you

I am searching the RA Site, but thought a quick post might also yield some insight. I have a Version 17 ControlLogix L61 CPU with 1756-ENBT/A version 4 Ethernet Card. The system is dropping communications with it's SCADA System {Archestra Wonderware 2014 R2} I started by going to the ENBT Web Page and looking at statistics for a "smoking gun". I think I have found some things that might be worth investegating, but am not 100% sure of what they mean. The Diagnostic Overview shows 9/128 CIP Connections and 24/64 TCP Connections so nothing worrisome there. However, the Diagnostic Overview also shows CIP Conn Timeouts growing at the rate of 8 per minute. - Possible Something!! The ethernet statistics page is where things start to get interesting. In Errors and FCS Errors are growing at the rate of 4-6 per minute. I have no Idea what an FCS error is? ANYONE? I'm wondering if I need to check the PLC program for some message instructions in error state?

Hello, We have a FX3G connected to a FX3U-ENET-ADP inside a main cabinet. We are then using that master PLC to collect data from 2 other fx3g plcs in a node:node serial network. I was assigned a small project of pricing out some wireless adapters so we can upload/download to the two slave plcs. My question is, is it possible to upload/download programs to/from the slave plcs through the ENET adapter and serial network in the main plc? It would save us some money if possible. thanks.

I have a Siemens HMI 6AV2 124-0MC01-0AX0 in my machine. I want to clone the display on the HMI to PC/Laptop. My question is: 1. What software that I need for this task? 2. What kind of interface that I need between the HMI and PC/Laptop (for example ethernet cable, etc)? 3. Do I need to communicate with PLC connected with HMI or can I just connect with the HMI? Thanks in advance for the answer.

I have an open source library for Ethernet/IP and Modbus PLC communications. It also support PCCC-type PLCs like PLC-5, SLC and MicroLogix via encapsulation in CIP/EIP (Ethernet/IP). I just had a user let me know that they have a PLC-5/80 that apparently never got fully updated to support Ethernet/IP. It appears to only support CSP (port 2222). I have most of the code already, so I want to support CSP. I have a converted PLC-5/30 with a 1785 sidecar. It shows open ports on port 2222 and 44818, but if I connect to port 2222 using Ron Gage's code, it immediately closes the connection. I read somewhere (here? I think it was a comment from Ken Roach) that this was used to tell RSLinx to try the other protocol. I want to use some sort of PLC that "speaks" CSP in order to write up support for it in my library. Is that something that I can do with my old PLC-5? I looked around in RSLogix 5 to see if there was something obvious to re-enable CSP on my PLC-5 but I could not find anything. Anyone have any pointers? I might think about going on eBay to find some old hardware, but how could I even tell if something supports CSP? Even a simulator would be fine.

Hi all, I have finished installing ethernet adapter module FX3U-ENET-ADP on the FX3U-48M PLC. From the ethernet module, i connected it to a wireless router and then i am planning of connecting to the ethernet module using GXWorks 2 on my laptop through wireless router. On the ethernet module, the error indicator LED is on (red). From the FX3U-ENET-ADP, it means that there might be setting or hardware errors. I am asking if i have missed some steps on the installation process and if any of you have experience with similar problems. Thanks in advance for the answers.

Hi all, I want to ask some questions regarding Ethernet Communication with FX3U PLC series. I have 2 PLCs of FX3U series (FX3U-48M and FX3U-64M) and I want to monitor its data (input and output) using ethernet communication in real time. My questions are: 1. Does FX3U PLC have ethernet port so I can connect it directly to my Laptop/PC? 2. If no, do I need to use FX3U-ENET-ADP and can it be used for 2 PLC or only 1? 3. What software do I need to use to configure the communication between PLC and FX3U-ENET-ADP? 4. Does this configuration change the existing PLC program? 5. Can i transmit the data wireless-ly using some kind of ethernet to wifi adapter and what additional hardware do i need for that?
