Day-of-Week Calculation for SLC 1.0
By Chris Elston
This program was written for an SLC-5/03 processor. It was designed to display date time and day-of-week to a Panelview 550. It uses the 5/03's internal clock for the time and date and then calculates the day-of-week. Newer revisions of the 5/03 ca

Temperature Trend Direction Flag
By Chris Elston
Operator wanted an easy way to tell if temperature was rising or falling in the tank. So without having to setup a full blown trend chart I came up with the "trend flag". If the flag or integer "Tank_1_Resin_Temp_Trend" was equal to "1" then the temperature is rising. If the flag is "0" then the temperature is falling. Easy fix with one rung.

20-COMM-E Adapter Diagnostics
By Ken Roach
To rule out problems with data traffic to AC drives sometimes I ask a user to monitor the DPI Diagnostic Items in the 20-COMM-E interface. These can be read using Drive Explorer Drive Executive or the 20-COMM-E embedded Web page.
But the controller can also read these values with a little help from the 20-COMM-E User Manual and some ladder logic for messaging.
The DPI Diagnostic Object is Class 0x99. The Diagnostic Item value is Attribute 1. But what's the Instance number ?
The Instance number for Adapter items begins at 0x4000 (16384) and I am interested in Items 49 through 55:
Item# Name Instance # Data Size (bytes)
49 EN Rx Overruns 16433 2
50 EN Packets Received 16434 4
51 EN Rx Errors 16435 4
52 EN Packets Sent 16436 4
53 EN Tx Errors 16437 4
54 Last TCP Reset 16438 2 (Read Only)
55 Missed IO Packets 16439 4
This ladder example just reads those 7 values repeatedly. I could be expanded to cover multiple drives.
These values are all reset when power is cycled which is why I'm interested in having the controller read them instead of standing around looking at the software monitor all day or trying to have people read them before they cycle power to the drive.

PC Module Status
By Ken Roach
In applications where unreliable IP transports (such as wireless) are used some users report "flaky" Produced/Consumed tag connections and I/O connections over EtherNet/IP.
Rockwell never recommends wireless Ethernet for I/O but some users overlook this recommendation or install links that should be reliable enough but due to installation or configuration issues are not and need to be troubleshot with the participation of the control system.
This logic example is a diagnostic tool to provide a timestamp and duration for connection faults. It is written for a controller Producing data to another controller over EtherNet/IP but would work the same for a connection across ControlNet or the ControlLogix backplane or for an I/O connection.
The program was written using RSLogix 5000 v12.06.
Just putting the remote Controller into this Controller's I/O tree is enough to establish a connection; the Produced/Consumed tag (called Produced_Data on the producer side and Consumed_Data on the consumer side) is not strictly necessary.
I've used logic like this to find interference from motion controllers or heavy motor starters as well as microwave oven interference in the 2.4 GHz range. It's not a cure-all diagnostic tool but it can tell you when and how often a connection is failing.
This logic may be used in conjunction with the traffic analysis tool triggering example to capture data on an Ethernet network on both sides of a connection failure event.

LONG DURATION PRECISION TIMER.pdf
By TConnolly
From time to time a long time base precision timer may be required. The SLC .01 second timebase timer is good for only 327 seconds. Cascading a timer and a counter together is undesirable as it will introduce a cumulative error into the time because of differences between when the time period
actually expires and when the timer is next scanned.
By running two timers in parallel we can maintain an accurate time reference from which to compute a floating point time with .01 second precision up to 32767 seconds. The first timer has a one second time base and it is the primary timer. The second timer has a .01 second time base and it is
used solely to compute the fractional seconds. By using a comparison to subtract one second from the .01 second time base ACC when ever it exceeds a full second we can maintain an accurate time independent of the processor scan time so long as the rung is evaluated more than once a
second.

Read Monitoring Parameters from E3 with SLC-5/0x
By Ken Roach
RSLogix 500 routine to read the first 20 parameters from an E3/E3+ overload relay on DeviceNet with an SLC-500 controller and 1747-SDN. This example uses the new DeviceNet Explicit Message (DEM) instruction introduced with OS302 Series C FRN10 firmware.
The 21st parameter is also important but will almost always be part of the I/O connection so we're only reading 20 parameters which fits more snugly into a data array.
This routine only reads from one E3+ device at Node 3 on the network.
