I set up Paypal with a card for that reason myself. However, due to getting laid off with 30K in card and other debt, I cancelled all my cards. Now, I use the account with my checking, and have had zero problems in 4 years. A card would be better, but you will be fine.

PLC-5 to ControlLogic Conversion Issues
tomalbright replied to Patriot's topic in Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation
While still remaining "messy", you can alias the tags to something else; the new tag will work fine, and if you miss an old one it will work fine as well. The goal would be to alias something like "B60[(N7_15) / 16].[N7_15 AND 15]" to "MonkeyStatus[MS_index].[bitbit]" or whatever floats your boat. Just make sure the new addresses have the same array structure and you will be fine. Any math to be done can be done in one place, instead of every instruction. You will still have the mess, but you can hide it from your normal ladder logic. ...of course, it would be easier and cleaner if... -
You still have this? I am interested in a 1746-A4, OB16, IB16, and an NI4.

CLX World of Arrays
tomalbright replied to Bill Linne's topic in Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation
I haven't used this instruction, but it looks like your array, which is one-dimensional, should be addressed as: CFE_One_Day[0]. As far as the dimension, that's either a 0 or 1, not sure how the array is set up, probably the 0 is OK. -

More than 1 CLR per Ladder Rung?
tomalbright replied to scootabug's topic in Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation
I was curious, the set of CLR instructions takes a total of 6.9 microseconds to execute compared to the FLL, which with 3 words will take 15.8. Not much on a micro, but something to keep in mind. I find the CLR simpler to use for bit clearing of several words. -

I think also you will find that most of us are nodding our heads in shameful agreement. It's always something... ...obvious. -
Automated Car Wash Simulation using Allen Bradley equipment
tomalbright replied to PLC_Student's topic in Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation
You won't get much help on designing, but it looks like you are nearly there! I am pretty sure that RSLinx needs to be "Enterprise" for RSView ME? I haven't used it with a PLC5, just with CLX. You have to set up the path between the PV and the PLC, and Classic, IIRC, won't let you do it. I need some confirmation of that... -
Proficy ME and Versapro are interchangable. The "lock" they had on using different programming software doesn't apply to these two. Proficy PLC programming is basically Versapro. The programs folder is even called fxVersaPro! Biggest problem I had with VP was consistent hardware configuration loading and saving. Proficy doesn't have that limitation, even with older PLC firmware versions.
