  1. If you want to exchange data between the 2 PLC's you can use Produced/Consumed tags/UDT's. To do that you will need the other PLC in the tree of each PLC, and the tags must be exactly the same in each processor, it would then be a case of moving the data into the UDT at the originating PLC and then using that data in the receiving PLC.
  2. When going from the 1756-L71 your message to the 5069-L320ER will have to go onto the backplane and then onto the ethernet card and then out the front port, if the ethernet card is in the tree you would select that then add a , 2, "IP address of L320" and maybe ,0.   To go from the L320, I am assuming that it is a 5069-L320 you first need to know if the ethernet ports have been set up for dual addresses or a single address, as this will affect the port addressing. If set for dual addressing then the front port is I think port 3 and the back port is I think port 4, I have not found how it is set up for having the same IP address for both ports, but I seem to remember that it is port 2.
  3. The OP is referring to the RSLogix/Studio 5000 software to program the newer PanelView 5000's It is part of Studio5000 and is Called View Designer, the PLC programming is done with the Logix Designer part of Studio5000.
  4. The PF40 would need to have a 22-COMM-E installed to be able to use ethernet, the plug on the VSD is DSI ie RS485 not ethernet.
  5. A 1756-PA72 is a power supply for a ControlLogix chassis, and it does not have any digital inputs or outputs it also does not have any external access to its various voltages which supply power to the chassis power supply busses.
  6. Yes you will need a 1203-USB or the older serial 22-?????? The 1203 talks RS-485 and the 1746-UIC talks DH-485, to best of my knowledge.
  7. That would depend if there was a stop signal coming on the ethernet connection, all stops work even if you are getting the control from the VSD keypad.
  8. If P2 is changing with the drive pot then the speed reference is working, just need to figure out why the start is not working.
  9. I have it running on W10 and I have not had a problem with it yet, but have not tried to download or upload from a panelview unit.
  10. 1793-IB16

    I just tried to add the 1793-IB16 to a 1794-AENTR in version 33 of Studio5000 and it would not let me. You may need to swap out the 1793 modules for 1794 modules, or use a 1756-DHRIO card and keep the 1794-ASB and the 1793 modules.
  11. panelview 300 and 1000+

    A good thing about the PV300 micro is that you can change the comms from DF1 to DH-485 using firmware. Even though they come with 2 different part numbers.
  12. panelview 300 and 1000+

    The PanelViews with black surrounds use PanelBuilder 32, the newer PanelViews with grey or silver use FactoryTalk Studio for ME.
  13. Legacy product

    Most of the SLC500 hardware is discontinued or at End Of Life, with a discontinue date of September 2024. Even the 1447-BA batteries for the processors will no longer be available after September 2024.
  14. You need to download it from the Rockwell website, it is easier to Google it then go to the download link.
  15. Referencing I/O as Integers

    When referencing CompactLogix it is best to state what processor you are using as the Local data format has changed with the 5069 processors, if that is what you are using then Rockwell have a AOI that converts the 5069 format to the older format.
