O.K. Thanks. I wanted to see if anyone else had tried this before I install latest version of ME. Wasn't sure if old floppy activation would work instead of Rockwells new web based activation.

Our IT guys reimaged our notebook and rsview ME (amongst other things) is now gone. I contacted Rockwell and got a reset code for the activation floppy disk. Does anyone know if this activation will work with the latest version of Factory Talk View ME 5.0? Or, do I need to somehow get an older version that uses the floppy disk activations.

File Name: Excel PLC I/O Simulator (Updated) File Submitter: brisutterfield File Submitted: 21 Nov 2007 File Updated: 4 Jan 2010 File Category: Manuals, Tutorials Excel I/O Simulator. Added animation to H/O/A toggle and rocker switches. In RSLinx name DDE topic "PDCBRIAN" and in excel add the analysis toolpak. I am using this with an AB PLC5 RSLogix5 and RSLinx (Any version higher than the lite version). Great tool for training. Click here to download this file

I am new to RSView and was wanting to know if anyone could recomend any tutorals for newbies. I am using a PLC 5 with RSView 32.

I have read that there is a 2 hour demo version of RSView. I have looked on Rockwells web site but couldnt find it. Does anyone have this?

1. What brand and model of Wireless Adapter do you have plugged into the PLC-5E ? Can you describe how you have configured it ? Microsoft broadband networking wireless adapter. 802.11g 2. What model of Linksys router are you using ? It probably combines the functions of Router and Wireless Access Point. Linksys Wireless G 2.4 GHz 3. Is your router also connected to the Internet ? Yes 4. Are you using Ethernet cable to connect your PC to the Linksys Router, or are you using a WiFi adapter in your PC to connect to the Linksys Router. I am using an ethernet cable to connect PC to Router. 5. What is the IP address of your computer ? Trying sending a PING command to an address that is one node lower and one node higher than your computer. 192.168.1.101 6. Is anything else (printers, other PC's, other PLCs) connected to this Linksys Router ? My TIVO box is connected also to the wireless router. 192.168.1.116

I am trying to connect to a PLC540-E using a wireless adapter on channel 2. I have RSLinx professional and my computer has a linksys wireless router. I can connect through the DH so I can configure channel 2. I can also connect through channel 2 directly but not using the wirelss adapter. I dont know much about networking and was hopping someone could help me make the connection.

Is there any way to tell what type of serial comunication channel 0 is using without having to pull the processor out of the chasis and check the dip switches. is there a status file I can check?

Thank for the code. I have no way to look at it untill I get back to work on Monday though. I'll check it out then. Thanks again.

The PE at the discharge end of each of the three lines is used as a package present PE and to detect jams. The PE should see a gap between each case as it goes by. If the conveyor is running and no gap seen for three seconds the line shuts down. There is also a long range PE running down the length of the Merge to detect jams and for personal safety protection.

I am trying to figure out the existing code which is 241 rungs, just for this merge. The existing logic consists of: Training logic, release timers, no carton present timers, merge sequencers, pre-release enable logic, pre-release calculations, merge clear calculations, hiccup fixes, merge run enable logic, package present latch, last box delay stop and a few other things. There is alot that goes into a simple 3:1 merge.

Does anyone have any code for a 3 to 1 conveyor merge? Attached is a file of the layout of the conveyors. The existing code is to long and and causes boxes to crash at the merge frequently. I am trying to have one line release for 15 seconds. Then stop releasing and wait 3 seconds so the boxes can clear the merge, then have the next line release for 15 seconds. This process would repeat for the third line also. If one or two of the lines do not have any cases on them they should be skipped in the release cycle. We are using AB PLC5 w/RSLogix 5. Input are from 3 photo eyes. Outputs are to 4 motor starters.
