Search your computer for files with the extension *.LIC When you installed the newer version of RSLogic500 it is possible that a later version of the Activation Manager was installed, and it might be looking in a different location on the PC for the LIC files If so you just need to load in the two location of the LIC files or copy them into the one location

I have succsess The CIP Generic message is now working Message Type CIP Generic Service Type Get Attribute Single Class 4 Instance 103 Attribute 3 Destination Test_Array I now have two Explicit Messages getting Dint[100] each, every second And the Dint[124] and a Dint[125] communicatng through the defined Ethernet Module in IO tree at 100ms On the second Expilict message the Instance is set as 104 Thanks for all the Tips Cheers

Yes I tried TW parameters The Messsage errored with: Class or Instance not supported Error 16#0005

The Implicit messaging is working after I built a generic ethernet module in the IO Tree This gives me an array of Dints To and From the B&R I have tested writing data into the AB PLC and in the B&R PLC and the data is transferred across to each PLC as expected No code was written in the AB PLC to get this working, just having the module defined worked. I have tried getting a Generic CIP Message to read the tag "TOPPROF1" I have just tried using Service=0x01 (GetAttribAll), Class=0x01 (Identity) Instance=0x01 for first instance As Generic attributes The message gets done but the values in the destination don’t match source and if I change the values in the source the values in the destination remain the same. I believe I am reading data from the IP port settings or something? changing the class I then get different data in the destination but again it is static data and doesn't corresponds to the data entered into the source.

I have established the Implicit Messaging between the PLCs Currently we have working: BR_to_INSTLGX[124], DINT INSTLGX_to_BR[125], DINT These are defined in a Generic Ethernet Module in the AB RSLogix5K IO Tree And in the eipcfg Data Object in the B&R Automation Studio I would like to execute an explicit message to get an additional array of 100 DINTS about every 15 minutes I have tried executing a “CIP Data Table Read” message The message generates an error stating “Class or Instance not supported” Error Code 16#0005 So I believe I need to use a Generic CIP message with Custom settings I don't know the Class or Instance values I should be using. I have requested information from the support People of B&R PLCs My question is, what the correct way to set up an Explicit Message from an AB ControlLogix to third party device Equipment used for test: 1756-L63 ControlLogix Version 16.20 slot 3 1756-ENBT/A Ethernet Bridge Version 4.3 slot 6 IP 192.168.1.196 B&R X20 CP1485 IF2 IP 192.186.1.195 Sysconf V2.94 The Eipcfg file in the B&R reads "#OWNIP=192.168.1.195" "#OWNINTERFACE=IF2" "#STATION=INSTLOGIX" "#STATIONIP=192.168.1.196" "#STATIONSTATUS=udTestStationStatus" "#CONNAME=TESTLOGIX" "#CONDIR=BOTH" "#CONRPI=100" "#INPUTASSEMBLY=AssemIn1" "logi:BR_to_INSTLGX, DINT, 125" "#OUTPUTASSEMBLY=AssemOut1" "logi:INSTLGX_to_BR, DINT, 124" "#ASSEMBLY=expMES" "logi:TOPPROF1, DINT" Any help on this would be appreciated

I have established Produced/Consumed CIP Messages between these two PLCs To B&R_Dints[124] and From B&R_Dints[125] I require to set up another 100 Dint array to read from the B&R PLC for information data every 15 minutes I am trying to get a explicit message working I am using a CIP Data Table Read and the responce I get is: Class or Instance not supported I can not get this to work Has anyone else been able to get this working? Equipment: ControlLogix version16 ENBT/A Ethernet Module B&R X20 CP1485 Cheers

When downloading new code for the first time (Green Code) I always have the PLC in TEST Mode just to check afew things before going into RUN Mode In this mode the outputs are not phyisically turned on and you might catch an output that is cycling on/off Another way of testing code development is to get SoftLogix, that way you can have your PC/Laptop running as a PLC and you can develop and download your code to the SoftLogix all on the same PC, and see it manipulate data as required Only a good option if money isn't a problem and you can buy a licence

On a touch Screen it is a little more difficult if you don't have a GoTo Config Screen Button On Power up press the filled box in the lower right corner of the screen during power up Hope this helps

To access Configuration Mode on keypad terminals: When an application is running, simultaneously press the Left and Right arrow keys on the terminal keypad

I was running the log to the PanelView internal memory I need to keep a historical record of the initial heating of a new Pot as this reflected the expected life of the Pot. I now believe you can not get this log out of a PanelView Plus but can on a VersaView Unit. I trended the historical required data in the RS5000 software trend as I only need five days worth and saved a Spreadsheet every day from this Trend The PanelView Log used for the PanelView Display Trend worked very well for display on the Screen Trending to a Network Server is a different matter and I have not been required to do this yet so sorry can not give you a heads up.

20 New Safety instructions for GuardLogix Partial Downloads means when changes are developed at the office on an offline copy. When back on site you don't need to download complete code (stopping the PLC) you can download offline copy/changes while PLC running. (Yes I still don't understand, it's what Rockwell told me at last seminar)

I have once loaded text in a panel that showed the tag names that were driving the objects on the screen. All these text / panels were set to invisible. I had a button on the screen labeled TAGS that set an internal bit to make these tag names visible.

Had similar problem 3 months ago System Restore to a previous date fixed problem

Tried the Parameter File Example and could not get this to work in ME You could Load all 30 Messages on the screen Make the first 7 visible and set all the other ones to invisible Then have 5 buttons that would toggle the visability animation for the other messages
