Study on parameter P046, that is your command source, and P047, that is your speed reference.

Are they brand new out of the box?  If so turn the potentiometer to the right and hit the green button the the keypad.  

Did the system used to work without faulting? It usually means there is a grounding problem but if a system has been working for years and suddenly gets this then it could be a PLC going bad.

A basic converter probably won't work.  They usually will have capacitors to help them smooth out the ripples that the high speed counter senses.  You need something like a optocoupler.  Maybe something like this. https://www.phoenixcontact.com/online/portal/us?urile=pxc-oc-itemdetail:pid=2964270&library=usen&tab=1

Probably cheapest to get a 24V hall effect sensor.  Transformers don't work with DC applications though there are isolators that may work. It will depend on the sensor as to whether you need or what value the pull up resistor needs to be.

The Micrologix 1400 inputs are 24VDC, 6 volt won't work. What is the maximum voltage of your sensor?

Glad you found it helpful.

I've been looking into some web hosting services but am still a little confused Some ask whether you want a Linux or a Windows server among many other things. Can someone suggest a simple web hosting package for starting out?

He's pretty sharp so if he said only pin 3 is missing then he is probably right. If you are sure the DF1 driver settings match what I showed in the lesson then I can only think of three things. The UIC is bad (not likely), the C13 pinout is incorrect ( ohm it out) or the SLC port is faulty.

It is missing at least two. I haven't used the white UIC in many years but in if then prevents 24V from damaging the UIC. I will do some searching for that pinout.

If it shows 19.2 then stick with working on it.  Do you have 1747-C13 or did you make your own? Compare your settings to what is shown on the DF1 driver at the following link. https://www.theautomationstore.com/how-to-configure-the-1747-uic/

Does the channel configuration in RsLogix 500 show 9600?

It sounds like you have a RSS file that you "think" is the correct program.  What does the channel configuration show, most notably the baud rate? Also hitting the basics, do you have the select in the RS485 position? And finally something to try on older SLCs.  Uncheck the Autobrowse in RsLinx and select the manual refresh.

You are welcome, glad you got if figured out.

Sounds like you missed something with the one shot configuration. Maybe that bit is already being used. Check you program again. Did you watch the video? It even shows how if you don't have a configure correctly you'll get the result that you're seeing.

What your are looking for is a flip flop. See if this helps. https://www.theautomationstore.com/rslogix-500-training-flip-flop-one-shots-ons-osr-osf/

The Built-in port on the Powerflex 525 does not work with Statix2500. As far as the "special device" to do it, have a look at the PLC Tools SIM-IPE IP Explorer. https://www.theautomationstore.com/plc-tools-sim-ipe-ethernet-ip-address-explorer-dhcp-and-bootp-server/ Here are some application examples of it being used on a Powerflex 525.  https://www.theautomationstore.com/plc-tools-sim-ipe-reading-and-writing-an-ip-address-to-an-allen-bradley-powerflex-drive/  

Try deleting your Harmony files. See video below. https://www.theautomationstore.com/troubleshooting-rslinx-browsing-programs-caused-by-harmony-files/

The "Long" data type is only available in the MicroLogix 1100, 1200, 1400 and 1500.  However it is not a 64 bit word, it is a 32 bit word.  I really don't know how the naming evolved in RsLogix 500 that it doesn't line up with Studio 5000 but... RsLogix 500 = Studio 5000 N Integer = SINT Single Integer L Long Integer = DINT Double Integer Doesn't exist = LINT 64 bit Integer.  Interestingly we assume the stands for long integer but I don't find any reference stating it.

Your pulse width will determine if if you can do it with a regular input.  I use regular inputs to count in this video where I talk about how encoder count. https://www.theautomationstore.com/how-an-encoder-works-determining-direction-and-position/

Hi Marnus.  You only want an ADD instruction with a Source A of the Flow Total Count, a Source B of 1, and a Destination of the Flow Total Count in the EII.  Since it interrupts the regular program, it needs to be a lean as possible.  Then do the flow rate calculation in regular ladder such as I did in one of these lessons depending on the PLC you are using. RsLogix 500 https://www.theautomationstore.com/rslogix-500-training-how-to-calculate-the-rate-speed-or-rpm-on-a-high-speed-counter-in-rslogix-500-for-a-micrologix-plc/ Connected Components Workbench https://www.theautomationstore.com/calculating-rate-on-a-high-speed-counter-in-an-allen-bradley-micro800-micro850-plc/ Depending on how slow your pulses is, the above could make it jumpy.  If it does then you only want to log a timestamp in the EII then still calculate the flow rate in a regular ladder program based off of the change in the timestamp.

Hi Mike, yes just select the correct format for each channel under I/O configuration and have the load resistor in the top on the module ON for your 4-20mA signals.  Here are details on how to do it. https://www.theautomationstore.com/rslogix-500-analog-circuits-wiring-and-programming-0-10vdc-4-20ma/

You can't discuss any type of password circumvention here.  If you put the password in then keep guessing at what it could be.  That is your only option.

Also you'll likely need to use Ethernet Devices driver if you're coming in remotely since most feed VPNs block the broadcast packets of Ethernet IP driver. You can learn more about these two drivers at the following link. https://www.theautomationstore.com/how-to-connect-to-an-allen-bradley-controllogix-or-compactlogix-plc-over-ethernet-using-studio-5000/
