Oh really. I'm so happy to read that. Thank you Sr.

Hello Engineers. Is it a good idea to run RsLogix 500 in a Windows 10 virtual machine with a Windows 11 host? because according to Rockwell Automation, there is no compatible version of RsLogix for Windows 11. Thank you

Yeah, that is the only software I need, so I'll try to install it on Windows 11 and see how it works. Thanks for the advice and your time.

Hi guys, I'm studying the Masked MVM instruction. Now I know what it does but can anyone tell me an example of an application in real life. I mean where would I use it? If I'm integrating something and I have to use that instruction, what would it be? Thanks in advance.

Hi there. I'm working with a plc program (RsLogic500) at work but it doesn't have tags. For some reason I'm thinking that the developer of the program hide them, you know, in order to complicate us the things lol. I'm I right? If so, how can I find them? Thanks in advance  

@chelton That was a very good observation, thank you. @ElectronGuru  No problem, I really appreciate your time and patience. I can perfectly understand the example. Thanks you.

Thanks for replying guys I appreciate it. Yeah that's what I understood about this instruction. Basically is a filter of bits. @ElectronGuru You are saying that I can use this instruction to filter out unwanted decimal places in analog data. Can you explain this example with baby steps. Like where are you getting the data from, where you are sending it, for what purpose, why did you decide to do that? etc. I don't want to sound annoying but I'd like to fully understand this instruction. Thanks in advance

Oh yeah Joe you're right, I also meant to ask what was the name of that subject, thank you so much.

Hi Everyone, I've been studying some plc programs at work and I have a question. Why an output would be addressed as O:[N48:1].0/[N47:1]?. Also, when I force that output the state of O:0/8 in the data file goes from 0  to 1. How's this linked?. There are other Outputs with the same configuration.  

Hi guys, I'm doing a little practice with a Micrologix 1400 and a HMI PanelView C600. The program is so simple. Turn on the output O 0:0 through the input B3 0:0 (START) and turn it off with B3 0:1 (STOP). I'm trying to link these inputs to the button Start and Stop created in the HMI. When I validate the communication I don't get any errors but when I try to validate the tags I get this error:  Tag StartPb with address START has either an unknown address, unacceptable data or undefined controller name.  Tag StopPb with address STOP has either an unknown address, unacceptable data or undefined controller name. Thanks in advance  

I found out what I was doing wrong. I was using the START as address instead of using B3 0/0. I hope this helps someone.

Hello guy, I'm having an issue with a drive, when I connect any motor to that drive the motor shakes when it's trying to work. The same motors connected to another drive (same exact drive) works totally fine. What can be? 

You were right. In the output of the Drive i have the cables  U, V and W. I have the same voltage between U - V and U - W but between V - W the voltage is lower.  Those cables go to the motor. I assume the problem is the drive since it was working fine. So, what should i do now?              v

The thing is that it was working and suddenly that issue came up. 

Hi Guys, We sent our plc out of the company to be updated by the integrator. Now the analog card has a warning symbol, the guy said that in order to test the plc he built a rack at his shop to copy the one we have and he used an analog card with revision 3.1. He said that the original program shows 3.001. He recommends to update the card to 3.1. Could anyone tell me how to do this? I tried using the controlFLASH but I'm not sure if that is only to upgrade the plc. I wanted to try replacing the EDS e but when I right click the module in RsLinx i don't see the option to do it. I'm a little lost, lol. 

How did it go? Were you able to do it?

Thank you so much for sharing the information of AOP and EDS files. I was surprised too and honestly confused me a little bit. I wonder how the integrator did that also.

Ken, never mind. Now I see what you are saying. I apologize. Thanks for your help guys, I appreciate it  

Hi Guys thanks for your helpful responses, Ken, Thanks for the feedback. What exactly do you mean with taking care with the forum threads, I would like to clarify this for my future posts. Joe, I saw exactly what you said about the AOP and EDS files. Now my question is if those files are to updating the actual card? What would be the process to do it? On the other hand, I ended up changing the revision to 2.1 in RSLogix 5000 and that worked. The warning symbol went away and everything is working.

Hi Folks: I have this error  'Electronic Key Mismatching: Major and/or minor revision invalid or incorrect' apparently the reason is that the version of the card is different than the one it is configured in the project. How can I fix that?

the number that is in the card is 1769-ECR
