  1. DH+ To ABB

    We have a S4 on RIO to a slc 505 (retrofit from serial omron C200). I had a hard time getting some one at ABB that still worked on S4's and knew the rio card to get the Robot configuration correct the kit (card TS and some wiring) to do the RIO was about $3500.00 The second retrofit (retrofit from serial omron C200 again different machine) We ended up with digital io because kit was out of production and not available per ABB.

  6. cx programmer transfer comments

    I have the same issue with trying to export or import and i cant find file/ecport tabs in pull down menus. I had a program that wasen't the most current on my computer. I opened it saved it to another file name. I took new file went on line and up loaded program from plc when you save it deleats all the comments and section name's in the tree and rung comments. I did find PLC \ TRANSFER \ to file to get the symbol comments over, but the rung comments (annotations ?) dont come over or the section names in the tree. any help would be appricated thanks. tom

  10. Thanks again for the replys I'm not famiular with EII instruction and it wasent in the SLC instruction set can you explain it tom
  11. Thanks for the reply Yes the mode 7 and will reset the counter but the out put stays on from the time it gets triggered with the preset until the Z pulse comes around. I was looking at the pls so I could turn it on with 1st preset off with the second (on at 150 off at 170 for Example) but the pls dosen't "reset" with the Z pulse and start counting over it just keeps counting on. tom
  12. I have an encoder on a shaft and have to phaze shift the Z pulse I was looking at the 1100 pls I got the pls to set the output bit on the range and turn it off at the second point but I need the Z to reset the counter every time it comes arount to keep phase shift X number of counts off the original position. any suggestions tom
  13. slc 505 to bacnet

    I was thinking along that line too but I'm still new to control logix but it would be a good project to wet my feet with. I was looking at the opc server too but would need 2 one talking to plc's and one to bacnet and didn't come up with the way to link the opc's to gether (I'm new to this too). tom
  14. slc 505 to bacnet

    yes it is RTU thanks
  15. We have numerous slc's and plc5's in our plan most of the are 505's on our plant network. We need to monitor them with a TAC (old iventisys) building management system any suggestions. The only thing I know about the BMS is it can talk Bacnet, Modbusrty, and Lonworks and I don't know any thing about them tom
