Personally not aware of any other simpler method. Maybe create a spreadsheet and carefully examine the Blocks vs the actual tag reference.  Hate to say it, it just takes time. Someone here might have a better idea.

Generally, yes.  Practically, no. Did the HMI use a tag database?  If so, it could be as simple as changing the device shortcut to point at the PLCs ethernet port. You'll also want to check the alarm configuration, macros, parameter, recipes, etc...

As I understand it, you are attempting to migrate the L35E to the L33ER.  The issue you are seeing is that the L33ER is limited to 16 modules on the CompactBus.  You'll need to try L36ERM.  Nevermind, I just tried to setup a project with the L36ERM and it is also limited to 16 modules.  I just realized I had selected an L33ER rather than the L36ERM.  The L36ERM can handle upto 30 modules. You'll have to goto Rockwell's website to research other processors. Why do you think you need to upgrade the firmware version to v30?

Try making a second copy of the offline ACD with a different name.  Or simply create an empty project and upload the program from the L82. Additionally, thru RSLinx, you might be able to upload and register the EDS file from the ethernet module in question.

Steve, Their tech support is outstanding.  You really should just call or email them.

Is there anything similar to the servo fault actions of the Kinetix?  Maybe the hard lims fault the servo.  Then the soft limits are disable action and are used to block the jog in that specific direction of travel?

I don't really have answer, but I have a guess.  Any chance the 01 could be called #3 and then when you press the button, write to #3 the PIDE number?

Ok, so what is the equivalent motion instructions in Omron.  Sometimes what you know is better than what you don't know and just cross reference to the same in the other system. Heck, I took the final exam in my Fortran class (dating myself) on the second day.  Wrote everything in MS Basic then used the book to rewrite it in Fortran syntax.  Then during my senior year, they threw a personal computer in front of my and told be to write Turbo Pascal code.  Told them I didn't know how to use the computer, so I wrote the code on an engineering pad, the TA entered the code character for character with the exact syntax and spacing on my pad and the darned thing worked.

Not sure about the Omron world.  In the Rockwell world, I would fire a MSF, physically move the axis within the software overtravel limit, then re-enable the drive.  Code wise, I would also prevent the job instruction from operating if outside the software limit.  I usually had two different jogs for positive and negative.  I usually one shot a MAS if both jog buttons are off.

CompactLogix comes in many varieties.  Some have no on-board IO and use modular IO on the 1769 Bus.  Others have some on-board IO and provisions to talk to 1734 Point IO via EIP. They also have safety rated versions with 1734 Point IO of the safety type thus eliminating the new for hardwired safety relay circuits or a third party safety controller. There are also motion versions of the CompactLogix with varying numbers of controllable axises.

Certainly, you need to track down the source of the bad data.  But food for thought. After the AVE calc is done, copy it to another tag.  Then when the FFL is expected to occur, you could test for good data, if the data is bad stuff in the last calculated average.  This would prevent you from getting bad data in the array and or an extreme value that might skew the next average calc.

Megoof should be able to contact you via the site profile and handle it that way.

You can buy the certification software and so the safety evaluation and certification yourself or hire a third party.

Let me ask the question a different way.  If the distance is only 2m, why do you need IO-Link at all?  What is the device that you are trying to get communicating?  Is hardwired IO possible? Gambit beat me to the question!

Try talking to the Beckhoff in Brazil. https://www.beckhoff.com/english.asp?beckhoff/usa.htm Down the left side is Beckhoff Worldwide, then Central & South America, then Brazil with distributors and partners.

The programming software is in the panel.  Open up a browser to the ip address of the panel.

Go to Omron's website and find the Sysmac Studio Operation Manual.  Then search for EtherCat (based on your other post).  Section 5 shows how to configure EtherCat.

Not to my knowledge.  Maybe put a isolated signal transducer in between an normal AO Module and the final device.  We used to call it a hockey puck. Interested in what needs a 200-800mA signal.  Can you tell us what the device is?

Goto Balluff's website and download and register the appropriate configuration files for EtherCat. then add them to your project.

Change the value in the produced tag and see if it changes in the consumed?

I've used C-Mores across some Rockwell platforms.  Mostly with ML and CLX.  All via Ethernet, so I foresee no issues.

Tim, What a fantastic tool!  Also, love the website update and design.

Ok, what did you figure out?

To panic's point, it depends on platform and module type.  Once you know that, then refer to the datasheets to ensure your device fits the specs.  Do you wire PNP or NPN.  Generally, you shouldn't have to install pull up or down resistors.

Michael, agreed on the mechanical being to slow.  But any shot with a solid state relay?  Still might not be fast enough?
