  1. Clueless - please help!

    First off you should definately read the manual for RSLOGIX 500 available from Allen Bradley website.
  2. PanelView 1000 fault

    Yes that is the screen that is coming up. However, the program has been downloaded and running. This event happens will running and as I am told is not the first time since this unit has been changed. I can not personally verify any other time other then this last one when I reset the unit. Tom
  3. I have a PanelView 1000 catalog number 2711-K10G3x, Series E, FRN 4.48 that is displaying the number 60 and ERROR. When I look this up in the manual it says "CPU could not execute code". This PanelView has been in service about 1 month as it was a repair/exchange from Allen Bradley. I am told that this is the third time this has happened since it was put in. To clear and put it back in operation requires a power cycle. Anyone have an idea as to what is going on? Should i look at sending this unit back? Thanks for any help. Tom
  4. I got a great laugh out of this statement. Seriously though that is a good suggestion.
  5. RSVIEW 32 VBA

    Issue has been resolved. In the VBA project there were 3 user forms that were left over from a previous version of this project. They were not being used. When I deleted them I could then compile the project and save with no issues. Tom
  6. As the title and description state I am getting this error. The computer where the RSVIEW32 software resides was recently "updated" by the IT department with Microsoft recommended updates and also Excel was installed. The upates and Excel were backed off in an attempt to fix this problem but it continues. The updates and Excel were reinstalled. My VBA project has about 40 subroutines in it that have been working fine. I can step into them and run them with no issues seen. When I go to the DEBUG tab and hit "compile" I then get the error. Typically in the past when I get an error it highlights the offending line of code. This does not. I am trying to add another subroutine but I believe this compile issues is preventing a save of the VBA project. I confirm this by going to the folder where the VBA code is saved and see that there is an earlier date in the file, not the day I am trying to save it. I am not a VBA expert so any help is welcome. If any more information is needed let me know. Tom
  7. C200H help

    Jay, Sorry it took me a few days to get back to the forum. Enjoying a long weekend, now back to work. Thanks for helping me on this. I see now I will have to be prepared for if/when this error happens again. Tom
  8. C200H help

    Ok so I am making progress. I verified all switch settings and BINGO was able to connect to the PLC. I transfered the program from the PLC and see on the left side there is an ERROR LOG with a small red X. I see that this indicates that the error logging is disabled. So now I am trying to determine how to set this up. According to help file I should be able to check the LOG Enable. This option seems to already be checked as enabled but is "grayed" out so you can no do anything with it. Any ideas on how to get this set up to log errors? I will also continue to read through manuals to and figure out. Again thanks for all the help. Tom
  9. C200H help

    Jay, Thank you for helping me with this. I was relying on information from the machine builder and they told me they have since quit using Omron so maybe their support for this is out of practice. The machine did not run when the Error LED was lit. It has been running fine for a week now with no other instances of the error. I would like to figure out though what casued the error so we can limit any down time in the future. When you say SW3 on the back of the Host Link unit I am asuming I have to remove the unit to access right? If so can I do this with power on or would it be better to power down first? Also once I get connected is there some sort of fault log to be able to look back at? If not then I will have to wait for the problem to arise again. Thanks for your help. Tom
  10. C200H help

    So this is an extension of this topic from a few days ago: http://forums.mrplc.com/index.php?showtopic=21421 The machine manufacture sent me CX-Programmer with a couple of cables. I installed the software and used their instructions to do the following setup. In the software I started a new project and made the following changes under the CHANGE PLC box: I set the device to C200H and the CPU type to CPU 03. I was instructed to turn SW3 and SW4 on the Host Line Unit to 0 to set the baud to 19200. SW1 is 0 and SW2 is 1 to set the node to 1. Back in the CHANGE PLC box I leave the NETWORK TYPE as sysmac way and under the SETTINGS tab set the Host Link Unit number to 1 and then under the DRIVER tab set the baud to 19200 and Comm port to 1. Navigate back to the main window, click on the PLC tab and then WORK ONLINE. I get an error saying something about not being able to connect to the PLC. I try a couple or more times and then swithc to the other cable and after trying numerous times it finally connects to the PLC. I transfer the program and scroll down throught the logic while online. All of a sudden I get a communication error and now no matter what I do, the computer will not connect to the PLC. Any ideas as to what is going on with this? Also the reason for all this is because a couple of weeks ago the PLC had the ERROR LED lit and I am trying to determine why. The machine currently will run with no issues but we are concerned we have not found the reason for the ERROR LED being on and want to figure out why so it does not come back to bite us later. Any suggestions or ideas will be greatly appereciated. Thanks Tom
  11. LSS software help

    Thank you for the help. Just to provide a little bit more informaiton the Omron PLC has a couple of times now just shut the machine down with a solid ERROR led and I am trying to figure out why. I have a couple of old floppies that I was told contain the program. My hope was to get the software and attempt to figure out why this is bringing up an error. From the manual I was reading there seems to be an error code set in the PLC that will explain the reason for shutting down. Again thanks for the replies. Tom
  12. LSS software help

    Please keep in mind this is my first attempt at doing anything with an Omron PLC. I have an older C200H CPU03 that I am trying to access. I have downloaded the LSS software from the Omron download section here at MRPLC. I have copied the files to 2 floppies and labeled them as shown. Where I am having difficulty is I open the folder on the floppy and click on the INSTALL file. A screen comes up saying SYSMATE-LSS. Checking system configuration. Please Wait..... This is where it is now. Does not do anything else. Can anybody offer some guidence to a complete Omron novice? Thanks Tom
  13. RSLOGIX 500 8.30

    This is what I did. Uninstall and then reinstall RSLOGIX 500. It seems to be behaving better now. Thanks for the reply. Tom
  14. RSLOGIX 500 8.30

    I downloaded this update right from Rockwell. I could uninstall and install again if that is what I have to do. Maybe someone else has an idea. Thanks for the suggestion. Tom
  15. I recently updated RSLOGIX 500 to the latest version, 8.30. On the same computer I am running an RSVIEW 32 project. RSVIEW 32 is version 7.50. When I am navigating through the RSVIEW 32 project by bringing up different trends, etc, I am now getting a pop up window where it looks like RSLOGIX 500 version 8.30 is attempting to install. It goes through this and then a message comes up that says "Error 1706 no valid source could be found for product RSLOGIX 500 english 8.30. The windows installer cannot continue." It did not do this before the upgrade and RSLOGIX 500 8.30 is installed, activated, and will run. Anyone see this before and have an idea as to what is going on and how to fix? I was in contact with support and they suggested some conflict with RSVIEW 32 but that is at its latest version so I am stumped. Thanks for any help. Tom
