  1. I use net set manager http://www.netsetman.com/en/freeware Lets you set multiple profiles and changing is a simple "click"
  2. sorry just reread "Linear Servo" ignore previous post
  3. Just a thought , is your ejector pneumatic? If so then Mechanical "drag" or air flow limitations during certain cycles may be the true culprit of your delayed timing ( would also check for "sticky" valve
  4. Most mechanical style presses have "built-in" Programmable CAMS that are designed to specifically control this type of operation, granted thereare still "time" constraints and propagation delays associated with relay and valve actuation but they are generally pretty "tight" if your press speed is within the original design parameters of the press manufacturer. Does your press NOT have Programmable CAMS?
  5. If you are running at 32 SPM, then a 3 degree window is @ 4.44 mSec in time length
  6. Measuring thickness

    I have used these in many web thickness applications, but not sure how effective they may be on damp wood veneer (may absorb too much sound from sensor) http://www.bannerengineering.com/en-US/products/sub/235/U-GAGE-Q45UR-Series%E2%80%94Analog Have also used laser sensors aimed at a roller (with empty roller being zero reference) and measuring the thickness of material as it passes around the roler.
  7. By looking at the Eaton website http://www.eaton.com/Eaton/ProductsServices/Electrical/ProductsandServices/AutomationandControl/AdjustableFrequencyDrives/IndustrialDrives/SVX/index.htm#tabs-2 , it appears that you will need the OPCTK (Ethernet/IP) option board for your drive and the manual for that board gives examples for SLC 500 series messaging for data elements, really depends on what level of control you are trying to achieve by ethernet
  8. Well your data is "broken" into 8 bit words, so the binary to decimal conversion for your first word (Shuttle:I.Data[4]) is 112 the conversion for your second word is 148 (not -108 as shown) . If you multiply your second word by 256 (8-bit) 148 * 256 = 37888, then ADD the value of your first word: 37888 + 112 = 38000
  9. The PROG command is for saving the Program into the *Optional* EEPROM, Do you actually have the EEPROM ? If so it may not be properly seated, but JW3 is set correctly (by your post) to use this EEPROM,... if it exists. I would recommend "trying" your Program (type "RUN") to make sure it is working before trying to save into EEPROM
  10. Barcode module

    The DV-90 Unit from Keyence will do what you want (up to 900 stored references), but pretty sure you need to use their scanner and not certain of cost compared to doing it with the PLC.
  11. Yes, we have numerous lines with this configuration. They are mainly indexers for position control. But we are using MR -J2 thru MR-J4 Mitsubishi controllers and motors , with the positioning commands coming from AB stepper modules. They work quite well for that aspect. Have not done much with speed control (other "jog" mode on the indexers) so I cannot vouch for that application but I would suspect that would perform equally as well
  12. Fanuc Password protection on TP

    Doea anyone know if it is possible to password protect access to the Position Registers in a Fanuc robot w/ R30iA controller and HTML based teach pendant
  13. inexspensive interface

    Not sure what you are looking for but,The 1400 allows you to modify data file parameters directly from the LCD / Keypad. With a little "programming" you can create your own messages and variables you wish to address.
  14. The symptoms you describe "typically" occur with your RSLinx CIP options not being "optimized" for SLC 5/05 ethernet comms. The recommended settings per AB: From the PCCC Encapsulation tab set as follows "check" Use for Fast PCCC requests "check" Use for Slow PCCC requests Messaging connection parameters: 8.00 sec retry interval 256 sec timeout Max Fast connections 1 Max Slow connections 1 Max Unconnected messages 4 DH+ connections: 4.00 sec retry interval 32 sec timeout Max Fast connections 4 Max Slow connections 2 These settings apply to SLC 5/05 and Microlgix 1100 Ethernet (as well as ETH/IP) communications
  15. Keep in mind that you can ONLY force physical I/O not Binary or other data bits. RS5000 does not have Revision notes, however you can edit the Properties of your saved file through the "Summary" tab. Type what you wish into the comments section, and this will be visible If your mouse "hovers" over the file during file selection, or windows explorer.
