Hey there Seimens experts, I have a few little S7-200s and need to backup the program on them. What software and cable do I need. I also have a few Micromaster 440s that I can back up too if the cable and software is not to much dollars. Thanks in advance,

I am currently trying to set up an IM308c Profibus DP Module to use with an S5-135U system using two 928B processors in Multiprocessing mode. Module will only be accessed by one CPU and the slave is an ET200M (IM153-1). I am testing it along with the Standard Function block FB192. When I execute to write outputs(WO) I get an error. The error is a value of 4 and in the ET200M Manual states "Incorrect Mode" (page 7-15) The remedy is switch the master to run. It is already in run with a green run light on. Does this card require synchronization like Sinec L2? PLC does not see it in run apparently and I have no other info.

Slow performance of Write to tag from VBA
Jake104 posted a topic in Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation
As part of a startup initialisation I want to set some 400 memory tags to a string value. I use this routine: Public Sub WriteValue(val As Variant, TagName As String, Fm As Display) Dim TG As TagGroup Dim WriteTag As Tag Set TG = Application.CreateTagGroup(Fm.AreaName) TG.Add TagName Set WriteTag = TG.Item(TagName) WriteTag.Value = val End Sub It Works well - but it is slow. Making about 400 writes takes 40 seconds. I thought maybe the creation of a taggroup before every write was slow (like it's done with the use of this WriteValue routine), so I tried making a taggroup with all 400 tags first, set active=true for this taggroup and then do all the writes. But it's equally slow. How do I speed up the writing of such memory text tags? I have a had similar read-issue - here the many individual reads is slow, but if I create a large taggroup with active=true - then reading is fast. I use FTview SE 7.0 on Win 7-64 -
All, When i work with a 2.11 IDE from beckhoff in simulation mode i must everytime when i change a input give a write commando. I think it must be possible that the outputs changed automaticly when i give or change an input. What do i wrong?? best regards Frans

Installing USB touch screen on SIEMENS MP377 "12 Touch panel
psolomein posted a topic in HMI & SCADA
Hello Everybody, We have a damaged touch screen that doesn't work anymore (on SIEMENS panel: MP 377 "12 Touch). We also have a replacement touch , however it has 4-pin connector and works through USB controller (USB ETP-4500UG Touchscreen Controller). The drivers for that controller are available, however they are supposed to be installed during building of the OS (WinCE 5.0). We have managed to install this drivers to the panel (copying dll's to \Windows directory and manipulating windows registry). We achieved that touch screen communicates with its own configuration program on the panel (calibration, drawing test are performed correctly). However it works only within this program. So we couldn't move mouse when we are out of the program e.t.c.. So the question is how we set the USB touch as an input device? Which changes shoud we make to the registry? -
I recently purchased a s7-1200 starter kit, a sm 1278 io-link modula and a io link linear sensor from turck. Un until now everything is installed and the sensor is cofigurated. Now the queastion is how do i get the value from the sensor into a tag in a datablock? As you can see in picture tia4 I started to fil in the device block but I could'nt figue everything out. (I am failry new to tia portal) With kind regards Dominique Hautekeete

I am needing some help developing a string, and setting up communications that will be interpreted by a printer. I have thus developed my string, setup my com ports on my 1766 micrologix and setup com ports on my schmidt styliner scribing printer with win7e. Essentially this is plc to computer running software for a printer. the software has been setup to the best of my knowledge. My problem is creating a string that will be recognized as start/stop transmission at the printer. I have never done ascii so I am unfamiliar with how to get the two components talking. This is a simple application that only requires writing a string to the printer, but i have tried all that i can without any luck.

a2n cpu problem write to plc the program I read before GX devloper
vadap posted a topic in Mitsubishi
Hi all and nice to meet you here! I hope that someone with experience helps me and I hope in future to offer also my help to someone. I am having problem with a Mitsubishi plc with A2N (S1) cpu installed on a machinery. The machinery stayed 20 days switched off and with battery empty as I realised when switched on and the problems come out. I changed the battery but the problem didnt resolved. The plc gave error with stable error led and flashing run led on the cpu. Also an error led stable on a (double role) module of printer and ram. I have to say that I have never used GX developer environment before and it is my first contact with Mitsubishi plcs. Reading some manuals (found on the internet) and by using GX developer I read from plc the faults. Register D9008 was set at 12 error meaning MISSING END INS. I Followed the described flow charts from a2n manual for reseting faults but the situation was the same always as described above. I tried to read the program from plc and succeded to read it. It is a lader with about 6000 lines. Anyway I have no previous experience of the GX development environment but I tried to put the missing END in the program as sugested also by the flow chart in the manual. At this point I have to say that it was automatically added from gx developer as I can remeber from an appeared message. I verified also many times the program on gx developer with the plc and the only difference was that missing END at the last line of ladder program. Anyway I tried to write back to plc the program with correct end but it was not possible. I tried several times. The error mesages took with Gx developer was the following : "THE SAME T/C COIL EXISTS IN PROGRAM (MAIN) AND/OR PROGRAM (MAIN-SFC). THE VALUES ARE SET TO BE THE SAME AS IN THE FIRST FOUND T/C COILFROM THE TOP OF PROGRAM" "THERE IS A DEVICE IN THE PROGRAM (MAIN) THAT IS OUTSIDE OF THE RANGE. CHECK THE PROGRAM AND CORRECT THE DEVICE THAT IS OUTSIDE THE RANGE." Anyway I decided to delete the plc memory. After that the run was stop blinking and the error led went off. Only the error on the printer-ram module was on (This module was changed with a know functioning one witout any variation on behaviour). I thought that problem has gone now that the cpu is empty. I tried again to write the program to the plc but again i take the above mentioned messages. Now I have an empty plc and a program on the Gx developer that cannot be written to plc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am desperate!!! I do not know how to proceed. I am not knowing the mitsubishi development environment. Other than Gx developer I tried to install the GX simulation but it not works to my computer. At this point I dont know even if the ladder program is somehow corrupted after the described above messages. I can sent the code (GX developer project) and any other information to someone expert, if necessary, to have an opinion. Please help!!! Let me know how to proceed!! I have to write back the code to plc !!!!! Thank you all in advance!! Now i realised that there is SFC that is my problem. Could someone help please? Big part of ladder is in yellow color. How can i proceed? -
Hello Everyone, In PCS7 hardware configuration, I have connected IM153-2 FF link to a profibus master connected with CP443-5 Ext. And afterwards I have connected the field instrument with FF communication with the slave bus on FF link. However I am not able to delete the equipment once connected. The error is showing as the object is locked. How to unlock and delete the objects which were takes for testing purpose. Thanks in Advance, GJ

Hi all, I'm using S7 graph and I would like to be able to jump to a step after a warm restart of the PLC. This is to be able to carry on from the step the sequence was in before the restart. I have figured out that I can select a step in Manual mode. So if during the warm restart I pulse a bit for the input to SW_MAN then Load an INT value representing the S_NO before the restart into S_SEL and then pulse another bit into SW_AUTO. Will the sequencer carry on like normal in auto mode from the selected step?
