No the 1747-AENTR is used to replace theSLC processor to let you use the SLC rack and IO in ControlLogix sysyems. Alan.

The file is version 20. Alan

The U3000 can respond to serial commands, this should be in the manual. Alan

No attachment, What version of Logix5000 are you using? Alan

There is a Technote somewhere on the RA knowledgebase that describes how to convert some of the special PV1400e commands, something to do with using the BSL and/or BSR to get the bit out of the tag to use. (I had to do this a few years ago but I cannot find my files of the coversion to see how it was done) Because the small amount of data that could be sent over RIO the PV1400e had a way of getting the single bit out of the sent word. Alan

What PLC and what software are you using? without this information no one can give you a definitive answer. Alan

As long as your L9E board is not damaged it should be no problem, these boards are just "dumb IO" there are no real smarts on them (except for the encoder signal processing). Alan

Try this manual. literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/ap/2098-ap001_-en-p.pdf

Have you set the jumpers on the card to be current or voltage. You need to set the jumpers for the analog ins and analog out, see the drive manual for how to set them. Alan

I think you find that there is more than just 24v on the bus connector.

There is a way to get the window back to the main screen, I think you right click on item in the task bar and select move then use the arrow keys to bring back on to yor main screen, if you do a Google search you can get the instuctions off the web. Alan

Version 16 is as high as you can go on an L55, L55's are not supported on version 17 and newer.

Have you installed the ControlFlash firmware files for version 16

As Ken said, AOI's are only supported from version 16 on, you will need to open the AOI and copy the code into your earlier program.

Turn your decimal numbers into binary numbers to see which bits are passed. Alan

You probably have damaged the PLC as you MUST NEVER remove and/or replace the cards WITH the POWER ON in any AB PLC except the ControlLogix PLC's

Which version of RSLogix500 did you install, only the latest versions are certified to run on Windows7

If the run light is not on then you not get any outputs on, do you have a copy of the program and a way of getting online to the processor.

You can send ASCII string to the PLC over the serial port, you will need to configure the serial port for ASCII, and then use the available ASCII commands to decode the string sent and act upon it with your PLC code. Read up on the ASCII commands in the user manual.

in the AB world if you want Ethernet I/O, you need to use ControlLogix or CompactLogix, there are good small versions of the CompactLogix line that uses 1734 PointIO for it's I/O so that would be a good way to go if you wanted to have remote I/O on an AB system. The MicroLogix range of PLC's do not lend themselves to networked IO except by using messsage's which can be very messy, the only exception to this is the ML1500 where you can install a 1769-SDN DeviceNet scanner card and use DeviceNet I/O Alan

I have had the problem of Windows remembering when I was using 2 monitors, and placing things off the screen when using one monitor. I did a Google search and found a way to get the screen back, I cannot remember how it was done, I think it involved right clicking the tab on the bottom of the screen and using the arrow keys to bring it back onto the main screen. This gives a good explanation of how to do it including Windows 7. http://geekswithblogs.net/kjones/archive/2010/08/13/141301.aspx Alan

So would you mind sharing with us how you got it.

Your heading says that you want to connect through ethernet then in the main part you want to use a 1763-NC01 which is a RS-485 connection device. So which method do you want to use. Also which brand of VFD are you using, that will determine which network you use to communicate with them.

Not without a lot more information, what are you using for trending.

The only way use remote IO on a ML1400 is with the message instruction, but this not a very good way to do IO. You might be able to get some device that can transmit your inputs to the same panel and then use the outputs of the receiving device to wire directly to the ML1400 digital inputs.
