  1. Hi! A have a question about how can I send the current User data from the Panelview (HMI) to the PLC. Its an allen bradley PLC 1756 L71. In the Factory Talk view I tried to make a register and to move in it the current user, but unfortunatelly its not working. Is anybody here who can help me with this ? Thanks ahead. Br.
  2. SIMATIC S7-300 training kit not working. PLC doesn't go to RUN mode, and still in STOP mode all the time. STOP mode led is blinking every 1 second, even when I press MRES key. This is a video I recorded for issue demonstration: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ISMPH_zNuG4
  3. Hello,  I have two pressure transmitters connected to a tank. One at the top and one at the bottom. How can I calculate the level of the tank ? I know the height and Specific gravity of the materials.    Thank You  Pratik Jain
  4. I put together a demo of the c# library I am working on for Rockwell PLC. It basically allows you to parse/construct the L5X files for code generation, documentation, and other uses. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kV0nXSyM7Gg
  5. Hi there! I've been looking for some fault codes table for the 1734-AENTR adapters, since I'd like to show a message in HMI with some information when there is a faulty adapter, but I haven't found anything on the internet. So my question is, is there any type of table like this for these adapters? Right now I have a PLC with some AENTR adapters in the program for testing, and since there is actually no adapter connected to it, I can see a 16#2024 error in the module properties, but can't seem to find that info in the module variables.   Do you guys have any clue on how to find this information in order to show it?   Thanks in advance!
  6. I have some older RSLogix 5000 software I would like to run on a newer Dell 64bit laptop. It's RSLogix 5000 V13.03.00. I can buy a full Windows license for an older Windows OS and not connect to the internet. What OS was my RSLogix 5000 software originally designed for? Was V13 a 32bit software?
  7. I need to Migrate 10 micro logics 1100/1400s. They are all in the same room but in different cabinets. Changing any wiring would be expensive and not an option. They all have small projects and have between 0 and 30 I/O each. The processes are critical and can not shut down or be unreliable in any way. Option one: Micro 800s and CCW.   I realize this is the straight forward answer but my customer hates CCW and may refuse this. Option two: Install one nice modern controller to replace all of them and use remote I/O. This is my first instinct but I am worried about these critical processes now depending on Ethernet networking to function, I doubt the customer wants to pay for network upgrades. Option three: Multiple compact logics i.e. L306s To me this is nice, but overkill and expensive.   Any better option?   Open to opinions     
  8. Hello everyone, I'm facing an issue while trying to go online with a PLC. The firmware revision of the controller is 34.011, but the offline project I have is showing a firmware revision of 33.xx. Due to this mismatch, I'm unable to establish a connection. I'm relatively new to this company and recently learned that the program on my computer may have been modified by a contractor company, which might explain the version difference. I suspect they may have used a higher version of RsLogix when making the changes. I'm looking for guidance on how to proceed in this situation. Is there a way to update the offline project's firmware revision to match the controller's firmware revision? Or is there another solution to resolve this compatibility issue? Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
  9. Hey everyone, I'm new to programming PLCs and I've run into a problem. I have a Micrologix 1400 Series B PLC, and for the past month, I've been using a free trial of RSLogix 500 Starter. But now, the trial ran out, and so I bought a license for "RSLogix Micro Starter". The problem is that when I downloaded my updated file to the PLC for the first time with micro starter, the PLC's outputs don't work anymore. I checked the PLC screen and the inputs from the HMI screen are getting recognized, but the inputs from the physical sensors are not. Also, none of the outputs are being activated on the PLC at all, which I can tell by looking at the I/O status on the PLC screen itself. I then uploaded a new test program, where you press a button and a light turns on, but that doesn't work either. I haven't changed any of the physical wiring, only thing I've changed is that I'm using RSLogix Micro Starter as opposed to RSLogix 500 Starter. I spoke to a Rockwell technician about this and he said that there shouldn't be any problem, as I haven't done anything wrong. So I now ask everyone on this forum if they could help me out a bit.
  10. I have an Allen Bradley 5069-L306ER CompactLogix 5380 Controller that I cannot connect to. I tried pinging the controller and I did not get a single reply. I went on RSLinx Classic and I can find it there. My coworks have no issues connecting to it. They use the same cables and adapters that I use.  What am I doing wrong. I can go to different PLCs in our plants and I have no issues connecting to them.
  11. Hello! First time poster!I am trying to access a PDF file on the removeable SD on the back of the panelview (Storage Card2) and get an error using ActiveX Controls;"There was an error opening this document. Sharing Violation!"The HMI is a  2711P-RDT15C I have called Rockwell support, as well as used various articles from the RA DB and still nothing. Things I have tried: - Reading from various storage cards and USB devices - Reading from my documents - Various syntaxes:       "\Storage Card2\M1.pdf"       "Storage Card2\M1.pdf"       "Storage Card2/M1.pdf"       Many others as well w changes in slashes, spaces, etc - Power cycling between failed reads FoxItReader CAN open. The file CAN also be selected and opened by browsing the OS on the PV - both on the storage card and when moved into my documents. The current parameters for the ActiveX program launcher are: Program location: "foxitreader.exe" Program Parameters: "Storage Card2\M1.pdf" If anybody has any insight into this issue it would be greatly appreciated.
  12. I have an old 5/04 system that I need to talk to for upgrade. I no longer have the logic 500 software, but I do have Studio 5000. Is the 500 program available to purchase?  I reached out to the system manufacturer but he no longer has it either.
  13. I have been trying with an Ethernet cable and a 1747-pic i am 100% sure there is user error need to download a program into the PanelView i have the correct software rslinx and panelbuilder32 help I'm trying to learn
  14. Hi everyone! I am attempting to read EIP tags from an Allen-Bradley ControlLogix from an Omron NX1P2 using the Sysmac Studio function block "CIPUCMMRead." I have been successful in reading arrays and single variables no problem. However, when I want to read arrays from a structure in the Allen-Bradley PLC, I always get an error code in the CIPUCMMRead ErrorID of either 0400 or 1C00 for ErrorID and ErrorIDEx is FF00 2105 depending on what I enter in for Size on the function block (attaching screenshots with both error codes).   The errors show on multiple "read" function blocks at once but it only affects data coming out of the function block where I try to read in a BOOL array from a structure in the ControlLogix PLC. If I enter a UINT#1 for the Size, I get ErrorID 0400. If I enter UINT#2, 3, or 4, I get ErrorID 1C00 with ErrorIDEx being FF00 2105. I've been digging for a while and can't find that specific combo of codes, but it looks like it's a size issue. From what I can tell, the Size is in Bytes. So if I have 32 Bools it should be a Size of UINT#4 max, right? Any help would be greatly appreciated! The function block having issues is setup the exact same as the other two that read from the same structure; I even copied and pasted them from each other and just changed the FB name and the postfix in the SrcDat string (from MyBools to MyDints/MyReals). Here are the screenshot: 1. Allen-Bradley Structure 2. CIPUCMMRead Function Block with size 4 3. CIPUCMMRead Function Block with size 1
  15. Hi there! I have an Allen-Bradley SCL05/04 PLC. It has an RS-232 port, a 3 DH+ connector and a circular port with programming pins. An NB-Omron HMI is connected to the RS-232 port. And of course I can only have the screen connected. Is there any possibility to connect through the PLC programming port to be able to follow the program online?   Here is atached photos of the PLC: https://imgur.com/a/PEPI4Wl      
  16.   Replacing dead powerflex 700 with 753 talking via ethernet. Any good instructions on how to update the file from 700 to 753 on rslogix 5000?                                    
  17. Hi, Does anybody know if its possible to access the "Inhibit Module" tick box within the Hardware Device Connection tab from the PLC code? I'm hoping to turn this on / off depending on whether certain modules of machine are physically installed.  e.g. A Kinetix Drive / Point IO etc. Thanks
  18. I'm trying to exchange some data between two controllers. I've used a manual which describes Tag Datalink communication. Everything works fine on the Bradley side, which means I can read values from Omron without problems. However, on the CJ it isn't working. In the Network Configurator I get error every 10 sec (Tag data ling error, code 03D5) and cannot read any data from AB. When I open Connection Structure Tree I see that the input tagset from AB has 'Broken path (0000000000000)' and Unknown Device right next to IP address. I've tried using EDS from the Rockwell as well as uploading it from AB PLC directly - I don't know if it might be EDS issue. The only thing I noticed that inside CJ2M-EIP21 EDS it says that Ethernet/IP is Class 1 connection, however in the 1769-L35E EDS Ethernet/IP is Class 2 connection. Have anyone ever had such a problem?
  19. Hi guys. I have a question, with HMI pages. I have to make 20 pages 3 times. Its kind of like layer in layer. At the and of the layers always there are only 2 choices. But ofc course its important the route like what the choose, and what is the order. Like we have to detect lets say first layer page2 second layer page13 third layer is page5 and then we choose the first choice. But if the order is different we have to get a different input from the choice1, like we need different address. I could do that if I make ton of pages, but its sounds crazy. A lot of permutation. (20*20*20*2) I attached a picture maybe its easier to understand if Im not explained well. I am using AB control logix PLC, with logix 5000 software. Do have someone a good and quicker idea, to solve this problem.  Thanks ahead. Any idea is highly appriciated.    
  20. Been seeing a high failure rate on these PLC's on 2 of our processes. The control power is feed through a APC UPS to a 24VDC power supply to power the unit. Getting a hard fault where the OK LED comes on red and stays red. It never sequences through all the LED on power up. Tried the hard boot by holding in the reset button and applying power. Has anyone on else seen a high failure rate on this model PLC? TIA..
  21. Hi guys,  I have been thinking about wether can increase the numbers of produced and consumed tags, between my plc-s. Currently I have two plc it already have produced and consumed tags, but unfortunatelly soon we are running out of free tags. I read the manual and it said I can make 125 dint tags, currently we have only an array with 10 element.  If I make a new one and I kinda copy it, with different names, will it be work ?  Or do I have to set something else ?  Can I ruin the communication with the two plcs ?  THanks ahead.
  22. Can USB-A2 connect PLC through PROFIBus? Can profibus connect sub-stations directly for diagnosis?   There is a 3152dp, which communicates with the sub-station through dp, and it is inserted into the dp head of cpu. It is not connected by automatic mode, but can be inserted into mpi port. Do you need any Settings?
  23. Hello, I am experiance a problem with a consumer tag staying stuck on. Producer and Consumer PLC are turned on. Information is getting transfered like it should. The Producer PLC gets powered off and the tag that is getting transfered over is ON before it gets powered down. When I check the tag in the Consumer PLC the consumer tag is still ON. Shouldnt the consumer tag go to the OFF state once the commincation has been lost?
  24. Hi Everyone, I have a small project where I need to detect temperature and smoke using Allen Bradley Micro820 PLC and send email when the temp is above or below a set limit. And since I'm new to PLC world I'm not quite sure which sensors would work with my plc model. It would be really helpful if anyone could guide me through and suggest any sensors appropriate for temperature (surrounding temp not liquid temp) and smoke. 
  25. Hello guys! I'm interesting about rfid communication. I currently using control logix and compact logix plcs, and rslogix 5000 software. I'm wondering if someone can help me with a sample project, or any documentation. Its also can be wonderful if someone can share a project with panelview if its possible. I wanna know about reading and also writing. What type of device do you guys using ? I would like to make a simple program what is contain reading and writing. Thank you ahead any help of yours.
