ML1400: Manipulate output through modbus/tcp
MikosMotta posted a topic in Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation
Hello I have a scenario that's been bugging me for some time now. The scenario consists of a Micrologix 1400 that I need to control it's output from modbus/tcp. In detail what I really need is to be able to manipulate the O0:0 through modbus/tcp. The PLC would be the master and I would be the slave that triggers the connection to the master. I'm using a Modbus-Client on my PC and that should be the slave. Any idea as to how I can manage that? Currently I can send data to the master but everything is "stored" on B10 and I have no idea how I could write directly on O0. Thanks a bunch guys. PS: I'm borderline noob. -
FactoryTalk View SE Alarm Log Export
JacoRoselt posted a topic in Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation
Good day, I would like to extract the FT View SE Alarm Log. We currently have got a Excel spreadsheet set up with a connection to the FTAE SQL Database. When I refresh the data, Excel give an error telling me that the data is more than what can be displayed in a spreadsheet. So it then discards the latest data. I have tried setting a database limit in the Factory Talk Administration console to only keep the last 60 days worth of data but it does not seem to take effect. I get data from January 2017 up to 15 October 2018. Is there a way to configure the ODBC connection in excel to only give me the data for the last 30 days or is there someone that can help me to limit the size of the database? I have attached the current connection config.-

Hello I am a Robot Programmer. Fortunately I would be beginning the PLC Programmer Interview Process. From Initial CV Screening and first round of Interview. Screening was easier. But unfortunately I am not good with PLC tech questions apart from that is involved with Robot Programming. I need a few questions to judge whether the applicant is faking his experience or does he has the qualities. If any PLC Programmers can help me, It would be a great help for me. Thank You -
PLC to PLC Comms via Generic Ethernet Module
Powerchamp posted a topic in Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation
Is it possible to add another AB Rockwell PLC to the network tree as a Generic Ethernet Module and use it as IO? Any idea where I would find information regarding assembly instance and size of I/O/C for AB Rockwell products? If possible, what are the pros and cons when compared to produce/consume and MSG instructions? Don't need to use it real world, just curious. Many thanks in advance. -
I'm having a tough time clearing the entirety of an array. I've tried using the copy function, the clear, the fill and the the file synchronous copy functions. I'm solely trying to copy 0's into the entirety of a 20 tag array. Example Tag[0] to tag[20]. I saw another thread here: http://forums.mrplc.com/index.php?/topic/14678-clearing-an-array-in-rslogix-5000/ However, that didn't help me. Anyone have any shortcuts here? Thanks so much in advance!

Hey Guys, I'm somewhat new to Data logging so try to bare with me. I'm trying to setup Data logging in Factorytalk View SE to log to my SQL database. I have created the 32-bit ODBC system DSN. Created the datalog model in FT View Studio and selected ODBC and it created my tables fine (Float, String, Tag). I chose Login required. I also setup a File backup path. With that being said, when I use the command DatalogOn- It will start the Datalog model without any errors, but will only log to the backup path. It isn't logging anything to my SQL DB. I thought it could be the firewall blocking it so I created a rule to allow connections through the specified port. SQL is also allowing Reading/Writing. Let me know if you guys have any suggestions. Thanks!

I'm writing an CIP-driver in C# for communication between a Rockwell PLC and a Raspberry Pi. Currently I'm debugging the Connect/Disconnect process. Everything works fine, I register a session, I start an start forward. When I press disconnect, I send an forward close to the PLC. En this seams to work. Only in Wireshark I see an error: "Destination Unknown". But I can't figure out why the destination is wrong. I filed everything in the correct order according to the table below.

All, I am using Keyence CV-X422A vision controller for my application. It is interfaced with Siemens S7-1500 PLC on PROFINET. I am able to communicate with Vision controller through PLC logic command and status IOs. There is some communication issue in updating the o/p values from Camera Controller. I have tried with & w/o Handshake Mode with these settings. The camera display shows the reject but camera never turns ON the NG Status o/p. I tried different things told by Keyence Tech support but none of them worked. He told me to have you enable the “Result ACK Flag” in the bit allocation area and send a signal to it. Then trigger it again with a no good part and see if that fixes the issue. I tried setting the “Result ACK Flag” to 1 after I get the “Command Complete Flag” for the trigger signal that I sent. Sometimes this works but still it is not reliable. Do I need to send only a pulse to “Result ACK Flag”? Anyone here has ever faced similar issue? Thanks for your help. AP

I am fairly new on this forum & PLC's, usually i read and get tips from here.I use a RsLogix 5000 PLC software. I am currently working on a project at home that requires me to read from a Access DB. What type of Instruction or method do i go about, initially reading from Access? I know Excel is possible It's an existing system. Add on functionality/feature. I am using a barcode scanner that will link up to a Access DB to verify the barcode is legit and send this info to a different system via PLC/EthernetThe access DB is used because its a older system, it uses that. So it is possible? and guessing from what your stating, its is more involved to get the system working eventually?PLC = A&B 1769-L23-QB1 CompactLogix Controller I am using FactoryTalk View Studio as HMI, do not have SCADA.I have a control logix chassis. Thank you in advance...

I'm being asked to come up with ways to upgrade an old 5/05 rack. A few years ago I thought I remembered Allen Bradley having a special rack that would allow a new processor control various old IO types. Does anyone remember the name of that system? and has anyone used it? We will probably replace with an Automation Direct PLC (per their request) but, want to offer an Allen Bradley solution as well

AB 5/04 vs Panel Mate 1700 Replacement
Jim Custom posted a topic in Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation
I'm making this thread, continuing from my previous one (Newbie Screwed Up) where I received tremendous help from those on this forum. I now have the AB 5/04 working, but the Panel Mate 1700 doesn't seem to communicate with the 504. The HMI connected to this brick is a Cutler Hammer Panel Mate Pro 1700. It lights up, the touch-screen buttons somewhat react to touching (might take a few strokes to react), but the functions do not react with the 5/04. I called the equipment manufacturer, and they basically said it is all obsolete equipment, no longer supported, etc. and we are SOL. But, for a mere $100K, we can send the unit back, and they'll install all "modern" control units !! Not an option. I get it that the unit is 10+ years old, but has very low cycle times on it. (maybe 400 hrs) It's my understanding that the HMIs are just that....a means of the operators telling the PLC what you want it to do. So, my question .... is there an off the shelf software package that would emulate the Panel Mate 1700? All I need to "control" is to advance or retard two sets of heat seal rollers (via PacSci stepper motors), actuate two separate hole punch solenoids, and an air solenoid for a knife....it's basically a packaging machine. I do have a program called PMConfig , but I don't see any communications buttons or icons in that software, just screen shots of what shows up on the HMI, icon selection, change fonts / colors, etc. So, I'm looking for a resolution to make new(er) HMI (or even just a cheap a$$ laptop) with affordable software, and easy interface to communicate with the now functioning 5/04. Thanks for the input.- 3 replies

I Was wondering what other people do in regards to the follow up emails that rockwell support sends out after you use your service agreement. I try and fill in all the questions and give good feedback but i have also ignored them all together and never heard anything else. For the record I am a big fan of the rockwell support it may take several calls to get a problem resolved but they have never let me down.

Trouble Wiring a Simple LED with a Micro820 Controller
Anthony Blanchette-Potvin posted a topic in Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation
Hi everyone, Recently, I started working with the Micro820 Controller Embedded I/O. My project is simple : when the output _IO_EM_DO_00 is set to true, an LED light turns on. But, even though it's super simple, I can't make it work. Here's my setup. If you need more information, feel free to ask anything ! -
Hi Here's a question I'm about to ask Omron.. as soon as I can figure out who to ask.. It's complicated asking support.. their web email form doesn't make complex questions easy. Here's the question: Can the NJ CPU program a LinMot linear motor to make the "Random Sea"? The NJ has a mixed protocol.. Ethernet/IP and EtherCAT (CoE), and claims to be a "Motion Controller". I doubt Motion Control is available on it's Ethernet/IP line.. but the EtherCAT might be another story. Certainly The Omron NJ is a Motion Controller for Omron NJ series drives.. However, how well does it work with LinMot? Here's the curve. Imagine a LinMot Linear motor continuously moving, never really stopping, following a real-time, mathematically generated curve, moving positive then negative, at random frequencies and random amplitudes. Almost never repeating a motion sequence. looks something like this: Yet, after a while the motion history fully represents the spectral distribution of energy on the surface of the ocean. Spectrum analyzers can display it, and mathematics can define it.. I just have to make that sea in a model scale… (Time scales by the square root of the scale factor) And keep the water in the tank: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQd6YzBWVvI The big question is: Can the Omron NJ get a LinMot Linear Motor to do this? … LinMot thinks YES.. but, isn’t sure. Yes there are ways to “connect" LinMot to The NJ.. EtherCAT (CoE), Ethernert/IP but… there is nothing in the LinMot drive that can create or store a predesigned Random Sea .. Only a Motion Controller, generating real time motion commands, by running mathematical equations, "on the fly” can do that. If the NJ is a true “Motion Controller”, and the LinMot C1250-DS-XC is implemented as an “axis” by Symac Studio, which it is… Then, there may be hope. Closed loop, PID feedback remains with the LinMot drive, with special settings in LinMot Talk … Homing might have to be done with the NJ .. or by Digital I/O’s What do the Omron experts out there think? Can this be done? Thanks much, Regards, Michael

Socket communication with Micro820
Anthony Blanchette-Potvin posted a topic in Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation
Hi everyone ! I have a little project wich involves communication between two Micro820 controllers via TCP/IP. To do that, I started to work with TCP/IP socket. Within CCW (Connected Components Workbench), I tried to create a new socket instance using the instruction SOCKET_CREATE and set the socket address to 127.0.0.1:21. Basically, my computer through the FTP port. The problem was that it couldn't create a new socket instance (error variable is set to TRUE and status is set to 4, wich I don't know the meaning) because I didn't have a server-side application that listens to TCP/IP socket requests. That said, I found an open source application called SocketTest that listens for TCP/IP socket requests on a specified IP address and port. So, I started a listener on the following address : 127.0.0.1:21, but the error variable is still set to TRUE and status is still set to 4. So, my questions are : Is my IP address OK ? Is my port number OK ? What means the status code 4 ? Is SocketTest doing what I think it does ? Do I need to do something else before using the SOCKET_CREATE instruction ? Thank you in advance for your help !-

Can't connect to Micro820 controller via CCW
Anthony Blanchette-Potvin posted a topic in Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation
Hi everybody, Recently, I started working on a project. I want to develop a program for a Micro820 controller (2080-LC20-20AWB) using CCW (Connected Components Workbench). I built a little motor circuit for testing purpose. However, after building the program and downloading it to the controller, I tried to connect to my controller via CCW, but I can't. When I click the button "Connect", CWW crashes OR a window saying : "The controller has unnacepted changes" appears and asks me if I want to "Download current project to the controller" (wich I already did) or "Upload the project in the controller to overwrite current project content" (wich is grayed out). When I choose to "Download current project to the controller", CCW starts downloading the resource, but fails. In the "Output" window, there's a line saying : "Download failed for Device:Micro820: An error occured while reading from GETACTIVERESOURCELIST.". The problem is that there's no documentation at all concerning this error. I even tried to reinstall CCW, but it didn't fix the problem. I joined some images so you guys can see what I'm talking about. Don't mind asking for more details ! -

I. Developed new application TCP_IP_Connection 1. App TCP_IP_Connection applies the technology of IoT, Smart Home, Remote control. It allows to carry out: - remote control and monitoring of control systems; - remote diagnostics of the object; - turn on/off sensors and devices, including electrical circuits, hydraulics, pneumatics, etc.; - transfer information, files and images between smartphones and computers implemented the application. For communication between the respective devices (smartphones or computers) are required only stable connection to the Internet !!! The application is developed according to the technology MQTT and use free Internet broker. As a broker use the HiveMQ broker. The application consists of 3 parts : - TCP_IP_connection.apk - works on the smartphone and is intended for control and monitoring of equipments; - Server_Send_Receive.exe - the management server located on the computer and execution action on the transfer of information from the smartphone to the controller and back; - Server_controller.exe - located on the same computer and execution tasks of controller. Communication is linked directly with the controller via Ethernet or Ethernet/IP. As the controller for management purposesused controller family OMRON (CS1,CJ1,CJ2,CP1H,CP1L...). Note. As a controller you can use the other type of controllers, for example, Yaskawa, Siemens, ABB and other. They require rework program Server_controller.exe only to interface of exchange with controller. So for Yaskawa controller family 2300Siec this interface already developed and used in industrial conditions. 2. The application includes the following controls: A. Smartphone – computer - controller. - modes read/write of memory cells and bits of the controller OMRON (DM,W,EM,CIO,HR); - continuous cyclic polling of the memory areas; - the formation of Alarms in the event of errors of control system; - Display Gauges for 6 variables in real time; - Display Scopes for 6 variables in real time; - formation of statistical data on the operation of the equipment. B. Smartphone - computer. - sending and receiving text messages; - sending and receiving picture image; - transfer photos from a smartphone; - transfer images from built-in Web camera of the laptop; - reading the contents of a directory on the computer or laptop; - reading contents of a text file. С. Smartphone -smartphone / computer - computer. - sending and receiving text messages; - sending and receiving of picture image; - transfer photos from smartphone to smartphone (from computer to computer); - send the image with the built in webcam of a laptop to another laptop; - reading the contents of a directory on the computer or laptop; - reading contents of a text file. 3. Work application Server_Send_Receive.exe and Server_Controller.exe tested on computers running the Windows 7 operating system. Work application TCP_IP_Connection.apk was tested on smartphones Samsung, Phillips running the operating system Android 5.0, Android 6.0. It requires the use of a smartphone with a display diagonal of 5 inches and more. 4. App TCP_IP_Connection.the apk paid, the cost per user is $ 5 USA. Distributed through Google Play. The Internet address for downloading of programs Server_Send_Receive.exe and Server_Controller.exe is on screen Help application TCP_IP_Connection.apk. OMRON_Communication has the manual in Russian and English languages. The Internet address for downloading the full manual https://yadi.sk/i/F_EJOQEd3G5sXc. Looking for partners for the execution of similar works.
