Various Allen-Bradley processors have different means of storing and retaining the program.  We'll need to know the specific controller model number to help further. 

The programmer might have used the original functionality of the FactoryTalk regarding users and passwords based upon the Windows philosophy.  Then again, they may have developed a PLC logic based security system.  Either way look at global tagging and the macros as well as the security settings of the application.

Best of luck with your request.  Don't think anyone here is going to do this for you.  You should make your request to Rockwell, you would need to justify the departure from IEC61131 and the "standard" transfer function. Rather, you have the ability to create your own algorithm and encapsulate as an AOI and publish it here for review.

To Joe's point, I have done several projects where we install a CompactLogix and replace the SLC5/03 with the 1747-AENT.  There are limitations, i.e. certain modules that can not be in the rack.  Can't remember the specific ones, it's been 8+ years since I did this.  The manual for the 1747-AENT describes the limitations.

Forgive me for the outdated information (15 years ago).  I've never used a vibration sensor that wasn't associated with a specific vibration monitoring system.  Those would have been Bentley/Nevada or SKF. I'm not saying that one doesn't exist for interface to a PLC.  Maybe others have more recent experience with sensors and interfaces.

Seen some DH485 to E/IP converters by ProSoft and others.  Might be worth a try.

Each IO Link Master requires a separate instance in the IO Tree with a different IP address.  One thing often overlooked is that the instance must be done from the add module portion.  Do not copy and past another instance.  Additionally, each Rockwell processor has different limitations with regards to TCP/IP and CIP connections.  Read the manual to ensure you don't exceed those limitations.

I will store multiple projects.  When you create the mer and then do the transfer, there is a radio button for "Replace Communications".  Make sure that's turned on and then download.  After reboot, Rev B should show up.

Install v24 of RSLogix 5000.

Every servo manufacturer will have some alarms, warnings and fault that can only be reset by a power cycle.  Consult your manual.

Does anyone have any experience to share regarding gaining remote access via Secomea or any similar device?  Specifically, how to configure an "Agent" and it's settings to successfully get online with the Click?

Ethernet.  I've used SiteManagers for many years but not with Click.  I've found an agent driver for Koyo, but can't hit on right combination to actually connect.

Rockwell has a "free" download for a program called "Motion Analyzer".  It will give your the cam profile needed.  It will even write the code for your PLC.

Just a guess but, %MW1:X0 and so forth.

Any chance the vendor has an AOP and EDS.  Maybe it can't be done with a Generic Ethernet Module.

Is it also version dependent?  I'm looking at a 5069-L320ERS2 at v32.  The Generic Module is the same as Chris described before.  

Sorry, never read the standard, quickly hit the limit of my knowledge.

So for the other device, does it have a configuration tool?  After using the tool, does it create a new EDS?  If you limit is the PLC side, maybe you can adjust the other device.  Problem is you might lose critical data needed for control and status. Also, the second pic is from the slave.  Notice the swap of descriptions and what is an input and output.

If the original is still in good enough working order, you should be able to backup the application to the removal flash card and then copy it back into the new one.  No software needed.

Any chance there is a memory card that is installed and on power up, overwriting your downloaded program?

Hard for anyone to give you help when you provide no information. Start by telling us the model of PLC, model of encoder.  Then someone can provide you some guidance.

Getting there, only 31 years. I have to support an excel application for the last 15 years.  Unfortunately, there is no string data involved, only numerical data.  So I'll always be referring to your example.

Never used an MDS before, presumably for use with motion capable VFDS like a PF527.  General rule of thumb, most motion instructions are looking for a rising edge trigger or a one shot to execute the command. As for why the drive stops, find the corresponding MDO and inspect the properties and stop action type.  Either way, the MDS EN bit must go low before seeing another rising edge trigger or one shot to execute again.

I believe a string has two parts, .Data an array of SINT of the .LEN as a DINT.  By default, a STRING data type is defined as .Data being SINT[82] with .LEN as DINT.  That does not mean that the PLC programmer could have defined a different data type with a shorter array.  You'll need to know for each tag, the exact length.

Strongly urge you to look at Bob's example.  There is a reason why he is the Wizard!
