    Everything I read, on the Rockwell site, about RS Logix 500, is no longer available. Is this accurate?

    Phil, Well, the scope revealed the encoder was bad. I replaced it and corrected the wiring to get the count direction right. Now I have an issue with another area.  The encoder signal is also used to track Feet Per Minute. The function works, but intermittently, almost like a cycle, the display resets to zero and starts back up. I saw the 1B light get bright, for a second, every time this happened. I also see this in channel1_pos, it suddenly goes negative, then back to normal.  I don't know if the module is bad, or the encoder is. I'm going to try connecting it to channel2 to see if the problem follows.     
  3. This is not my build. I have a program that is using the P2-HSI to read counts from a quadrature encoder to display Feet Per Minute and Total Feet on an HMI. The displays do not work. When I look at the logic I see a MATH block that is assigned to Channel 1 POS, with the result to a tag, ENCODERS-IN_FEET. This tag is being read by the HMI using the same tag. There is no activity at the tag in data view.  When I look at the Configuration of the HSI there is a set-up for CHANNEL 1, but there is no tag at Module Setup, 1A or 1B. Is there an instruction set, for the HSI, that would explain the proper set-up of the HSI module? The programmer is not available, he passed away during Covid.
