Has anybody worked with a Bosch-Rexroth DDL Bus Module for Ethernet? I've got an application where I have one attached to a Controllogix PLC. Does anyone know of any add-on profiles or even how to set it up in RSLogix5000 as a generic ethernet module?

I am wanting to use the analog outputs on the CN3 connection of this servo to monitor velocity and torque. I have set both to output 0-8 VDC, but when I run at max speed I only get about 4 VDC (half of what I would expect). Also, I am unsure of how to correlate the torque voltage value to an actual torque value. Does anyone have any advice in what I may be doing wrong?

I tried decreasing the torque, but had no effect on the problem. I ended up slowing the servo down during the home cycle to 5 inch/min (which doesn't seem all that different from the 10 inch/min that I had it set at). But once I did that, I no longer had the issue.

I am using a MR-J3-20B1 servo hooked up to a FX3U PLC, with a FX3U-20SSC-H positioning module. I've gotten everything up and running, but am having a small issue with an error I get everytime I home. The error number is 2035 (35 on the LED screen of the amplifier), which from the manual states it is a command frequency error. This only happens when I home the servo (I am using the Stopper #2 OPR method, as I have no home or overtravel switches). I can do an error reset and the servo functions normally, but I don't want to have to reset the error everytime I home. Also, I'd like to know why it is occuring in the first place. Has anyone seen this before?

We have decided to go the brute force way and just use multiple screens and avoid the elegant solution which may be difficult for the end user to maintain.

I think what you have would work in RSView SE, but I'm not sure that its applicable to ME.

Is it possible to have the parameter file in a goto button be dynamic? I have a screen with 7 dynamic messages whose links are based on the parameter file loaded. The screen is small and 7 messages is all that will fit. However there may be upwards of 30 messages that need to be shown. I'd like to have a button on this message screen which cycles through the messages, but uses the same screen with a different parameter file loaded. Any ideas?

I believe it is something to the effect of: OpenCSVFile "\\100.100.1.10\Flash Storage\fxViewRuntime\Project\CSVFile.CSV" The 100.100.1.10 has the CSV file, and I am trying to have 100.100.1.30 open it. I can ping 10 from 30, so I know they can talk, but I can't get them to share this file.

I have a situation where I have multiple GE Fanuc HMIs running Windows CE. I am using Cimplicity Machine Edition and am referencing a CSV file to obtain relevent information about a part via its part number. I would like the CSV to reside on one HMI and have the other HMIs reference that one main CSV. This is so we can maintain one CSV in one place and not one CSV in multiple places or even multiple CSVs in multiple places. I know that I can reference parameters on the other HMIs by enabling networking, but I haven't been able to reference a CSV file across the network. Maybe I'm using the wrong syntax for the filename when trying to open it across the network?
