  1. I figured out how to make the network connections, now another issue has come up. 1.I made the ethernet links to the 205 and 405 series plcs. 2. I closed DSLaunch 3. I reopened DSLaunch, all ethernet links were removed? My steps to create a link are, 1.Open DSLaunch 2. Right mouse click on "Comm Links","Add Link" 3. Ethernet highlighted, select "Link Editor" 4. Add name and description 5. Select PLC family and plc type 6. Select "Port" tab 7.Enter IP address 8. Accept Link appear in "Comm Links" section of DSLaunch. Am I missing a "Save" option somewhere?
  2. I want to create links to plcs on the network. I have tried creating a new link in DSLaunch without any success. I have attempted to query a plc by the name associated with it. Is it possible to have DSLaunch search the network for plcs?
  3. Found info. Follow this procedure to return the processor to initial factory conditions. 1. Remove power from the SLC 500 power supply. 2. Remove the processor from the chassis. 3. Disconnect the battery by removing the battery connector from its socket. 4. Locate the VBB and GND connections on the right side of the motherboard. 5. Place a small bladed screwdriver across the VBB and GND connections and hold for 60 seconds. This returns the processor to the initial factory conditions
  4. What are the steps to reset a 5/03 to factory default settings, clear processor memory?
  5. If J4 is in the "Protect" position will this stop RSLinx from making a connection?
  6. The problem is the software version, I have version 4. This feature has been added in version 5, tried the demo version and it works. File/Export Element Documentation/ Under content format choose 'KEPDIRECT server format" Save As ".csv"
  7. When I open the .CSV file in Excel it only displays the analog(X20) contact. No other functions from the program are displayed in the Excel file? UB End X20 Analog Input File/Export/Element Documentation is what I choose to create the file.
  8. I am attempting to export documentation to a Excel file without success. Is there a second step to get the information into a Excel file after exporting into a .CVS file?
  9. More accuracy in analog readback

    That would be acceptable. When I leave the program in the current setup, V2000=2049 V2100=500 After the addition of the X10 box, v2000=2049 V2100=21 Thanks
  10. More accuracy in analog readback

    Here is my program. My DVM reads 4.99V in comparison to the memory location V2100 with a number of 498.
  11. More accuracy in analog readback

    Here is a picture of my sample program and the Data View window. I am inputting 5V to the analog input module. I updated the picture of my program.
  12. I have a voltage connected to a f4-08ad analog input module. The voltage scale that I will be reading is 0-10V. I take the input to the module and load the value into memory,divide by 409(this is my scaling factor),then output the value to another memory location.When I read the value in the memory location that I specified I can only read in whole numbers, I would like to read in 1/10th's of a number at a minimum. How can I make my voltage value be displayed with more accuracy?
  13. That was a interesting article! I have installed a analog input module, F4-08AD, in slot 2 of the backplane. I want to connect a potentiometer to CH1 input. How to I label the "LD" instruction that I want to insert into my program? Exam: LD TA200
  14. What is the function to reset the value of a timer, I want to reset this to zero after the timer has reached a specified value? Is this accomplished by loading a value into the timer accumulated value? I changed the instruction to a "TMRA",k30.On the reset line I inserted a equal to relational contact set to TA30. The issue here is that the reset line is active at the start of the program, thus the timer will not start timing?
