Did anyone else have any problems with your Compact Logix not switching Day Light Savings this past weekend?
Just curious... The HMIs switched over no problems. I might need to map in the HMI clock maybe.
-
That was the problem. The Instance number did not match the HEX target assembly... that is nuts...

Here is the EDS file I am working with.
No problems if I import it using EDS Wizard. It's an EDS AOP with variable size mapping.
But if I try to create a Generic Connection withASSY 100 - 32 bytes (SINT)
ASSY 150 - 32 bytes (SINT)
Config 1 - 0 bytes (SINT)
AB won't talk to the slave, I get a Code #16(0315) -
Has anyone ever ran into the fact that you have a Slave EIP device, and it works ok when you use the EDS file, however if you try and configure it as a Generic Connection, it doesn't communicate to your AB PLC? What would cause something like that?

They already have Transaction Manager running, so it will be an existing install so getting Ignition purchased and installed here will be tough.

If I have a 1000 records with recipes that live in an SQL database, is transaction manager still the way to go to get my recipes from the SQL database into my Rockwell PLC? Or in the last 5 years, has Rockwell came out with something else easier? Even if that means moving my 1000 records from SQL to something else. The 1000 records are static information, I just need about 30 PLCs to always look at the static data as a "lookup" and the static records can be changed from a master source later on down the road.
Just asking to make sure. -
Yeah! That would have worked if my model was in the list, probably just could have done something like this:
Wonder if AB has the newer models somewhere to import....
I just opened the windows side-by-side to check the alignment. That's better than nothing. Might have to make our own using this same idea for our model number.

I am working on helping with converting a Panel Builder 32 HMI to Factory Talk with a new Panel View 7, and the way this OLD HMI worked was all Function Keys.
It's been a minute, but in the old Panel Builder 32 software, you could see a legend or a map of the Function Keys. Is there a way to "turn on" the "function key map" in Factory Talk? I can't seem to find anything. I threw some images below of what I mean. Without an overlay, it makes it tricky to align a button next to the Function Key when your not sure where it is.
Anyone done any tricks to make this process of aligning your button to the physical function key easier?
Is there a view Function Key Legend I am missing?The only thing I can think of is install a tempory image background into each screen that is a graphic of the outside template of the model I am working on.
I think most all of the PV I've done since 2010, have been touch screen only. LOL. Every now and then you got step back in time.

I kinda-of feel like everyone should be aware of this:

I got a new one I have not seen. I have a brand new 5069-OB16 Output card installed in a Compact Logix 5380. All of the LEDs are flashing RED. It's been that way out of the box. Wiring has been verified, modules shows running, there are no faults, major or minor.
Anyone seen that before? It acts like all the outputs are overloaded but there are no errors. All of the LEDS are flashing together in sync about a .5 second duty flash.

1 hour ago, photovoltaic said:It is still supported.
Project -> Library -> Create Library
This saves the SLR file. It is different from the publish method previously used but it is the same in the end.
Now if we could just do the reverse process of this, I'd be a happy camper. LOL
-
I have version 1.25 of Studio right now. It seems to allow saving the library file. I will try and create a new Library Project and see if I can copy things into it.....
-
A while ago, I created a library project and a function block. After I was finished, I exported my library to a .SLR file.
Of course the laptop I made the library project on has been replaced and I lost my original library project, however I have the .SLR library file.
I would like to restore my library project and edit some features in my function block I made. Is it possible to restore my library project from an .SLR or I also have a project that I imported my .SLR library into this standard project?
My goal is, can I restore my library project file and how do you do that in Sysmac Studio?

I have NOT gotten Large Forward Open to work with ANY Compact Logix. I was told that a Control Logix and 1756-EN2T(R) can do it, but I haven't a project that requires a Control Logix to confirm it. At this time, I agree with @pturmel above, I have not been able to get any Rockwell products to support this feature of Ethernet/IP.

I've got a sample too. Lots of VBA script in this one....

I am spec'in a new job and wondered what you guys thought about the Pane View 5000 series with the new integrated software into Studio 5000? Or should I just stick with the trusty-old Panel View Plus 7 and my ME Studio software.
Anyone have any good success or problems with the 5000 Panel Views?

Which attachment was it? I might be able to fix it?

I think I fixed the link above for you guys... If you see anything else like this, I'll try to fix them as you find them.

Thank you very much.
Did that work?

Welcome to MrPLC. English would be best here. If you can type in English.

It's looking like I am gunna have to do it this way, along with concatenating the DINTS into a DINT to STRING for a "time-date" stamp. I always hope for the best and make sure I didn't miss something that might have been added like a new feature or firmware update that I overlooked.
-
Checking to see what might be some methods to capture a time and date stamp into an array element, then display that on a panel view?
Right now I have a 100 element array, I want to treat this 100 element array like a log file. I have EPOCH time setup in this program, so I can capture the EPOCH into the log. Is there an EPOCH to Time/Date display or function in a Panel View trick somewhere maybe?
Any other ideas for how you guys have handled that one?

Bob,
Yes so see here this Panel View TAG:
{[PLC]ML_DataBase.Display[0].RemainService}
I want an indirect address where the ZERO is.
{[PLC]ML_DataBase.Display[myvar].RemainService}
I was just checking to see if I missed any updates or not that would allow this.
Day Light Savings Time (DST) for Compact Logix 5069-L319ER version 33
in Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation
Posted
@Ken Roach wow...I have been shambled for a few years. Ever since they added DST to the firmware. Ha! This was just the first time I noticed that the clock did not change. I did not know that setting DST in the PLC did not update it automatically. Good to know! The Panel View HMI of course updated assuming because it's Windows CE now. Maybe I'll map over the clock from the HMI into the PLC might be easiest so they are in sync with each other this way. But thanks for the response. I learned something today as well.
