fuzzy logic

There are examples inside the RA Knowledgebase. CompactLogix: https://rockwellautomation.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/46036 Panelview Plus: https://rockwellautomation.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/164511/ Hope this helps, - fuzzy logic

It is not clear to me what you're realizing. I guess you're using FTViewSE... the syntax you wrote, should be used inside a button action... Display List Selector instead, just needs the tags to be added in the Parameter List field, separated by comma. Parameter list: Corn_Name, Corn_Temp Hope this helps, - fuzzy logic

As any other software from RA, they can be downloaded from the following website, providing you have a TechConnect support contract. http://download.rockwellautomation.com/webupdates/enter.aspx - fuzzy logic

Only version 7.60 has been tested and is supported to be used on a Windows 7 Pro (32 bits) computer. - fuzzy logic

Actually, the object has been changed since v16... If you previously used the DateTime with a GSV and it is now off by the number of hours your time zone differs from GMT, try using LocalDateTime in the GSV... see the GSV/SSV Objects inside RS5000 online help. KB Technote 37953 contains more infos on this subject. - fuzzy logic

Here the link to the RA Forum where I've responded to the same question (from the same user !): RA Forum - PVP600 problem - fuzzy logic

Josiah, I've realized a brief tutorial on the matter a couple of months ago, posted on the RA Forum. Here the link: RA Forum - ABB IRC5 and RS5000 Hope this helps, - fuzzy logic

Conor is right, on older -DNB modules there was a manual configuration pushbutton inside the module's front door. It has been removed since hardware series C, if I can remember well. Anyway, the sad thing is that it cannot be disabled; there is a KB technote for that: #45257 - fuzzy logic

Conor, you cannot have it right inside the I/O image, you need to use Explicit messages from controller... Take a look to the 22-COMM-D User Manual, chapter 6 - fuzzy logic

Thanks you for posting this ! Hope also other users fighting with same issue could read it ! - fuzzy logic

PVP series 6 hardware cannot be downgraded; however, PVP 6 will run earlier revs of MER files (All 4.0, 5.0, and 5.1 applications will run on the PVP 6 terminal) on the Windows CE 6.0 operating system that is incorporated into PVP 6 I'm not sure this will solve your issue, I'm agree with Ken, it is a case for TechSupport guys. - fuzzy logic

Internal file sets store tag values in proprietary-format files. You cannot view the contents of the file sets, except in trends, or using the above mentioned utility. If you log tag values to an ODBC database, you can view the data in trends, or use thirdparty, ODBC-compliant tools to analyze and create reports from the data. So, it really depends by the results you expect to obtain, and your real needs... Internal file sets are more limited, and provided for use with native trends (file viewer utility just provide a basic tool to retrieve datas and convert to a common format like .csv); logging to ODBC database opens you many possibilities and best results, considering there are many dedicated software to manipulate those datas...just I'm unable to suggest you the best software to use with. - fuzzy logic

Unfortunately I don't know Crystal Report's features... I may just indicate that RSLinx Classic is an OPC Data Access 2.05a compliant server, and also provides several DDE formats in addition to OPC. There aren't historical functions inside it. - fuzzy logic

I guess the utility mentioned by OkiePC is the one named "RSView File Viewer Utility", here the technote direct link: http://rockwellautomation.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/33924/kw/33924 (Access: EVERYONE) However, that utility only opens and converts the following kind of files: SE Datalog file (*.DAT, *.OBF) ME Datalog file (*.LOG) ME Alarm Log file (HISTORY.ALM) dBASE file (*.DBF) ME RecipePlus file (*.RPP) I'm not sure, but the file extension you're using is related to a MS SQL server database file... unfortunately I'm not expert on that, so I can't help more... - fuzzy logic

First release does not. Future hardware release (Micro 850) will have an embedded Ethernet/IP port for programming and explicit messaging (no I/O control) - fuzzy logic

Was the program running fine before? I mean since long time...this quite certainly excludes a programming error, unless somebody has modified something in the code, maybe doing loops or conditional jumps... After that checked, the suspect is an hardware issue, so it could be needed to check which modules you have in the chassis, expecially if there are comms module, like RIO... The LAD2 indication of status file doesn't help here, watchdog error always fail in that point, as far as I can remember... - fuzzy logic

Answer is YES, you can. Have a look to the User Manual, starting page 44: You can burn a program into an EEPROM memory module using a processor that is the same or different from the one used to run the program. Anyway, there are some considerations and limits, the manual explain well all the possible combinations thru a table. Hope this helps. - fuzzy logic

Just to confirm what Ken wrote: SIL2 Add-on Instructions, once imported, do create those tags. Add-On instructions can only be obtained through your RA representative. - fuzzy logic

Well, doing some mental exercises, I've remembered I've used RSLogix Emulate 5000 for my tests, and not SoftLogix, just because of that behavior like you've described. Did you consider that possibility ? Converting the ControlLogix project to an Emulator controller's project, will not remove modules... thus no errors... Remember, after the project is downloaded to the emulator, as the physical I/O modules are not in the chassis, to "Inhibit" the connection via the module properties;this way you can insert simulated values into the module defined tags without the Controller attempting to update or overwrite it with actual input data that's not physically there. You've just to deal with the slot position of the emulated controller, that it is strongly suggested not to be in first two slots, due to a couple of "buddies" already placed there by default: in slot 0 (RSLinx Classic) and slot 1 (RSLinx Enterprise). Hope this will help... - fuzzy logic

Timo, maybe the "problem" isn't a problem but just something wrongly configured, or just not used as it is expected to be. Difficulty here is to try to imagine all what you did and set, without the possibility to view the project. Consider that it is not necessary to have all the system available to test your issue; why don't you create just a new project, the Global Object and a couple of displays that uses it as you need, so that it is possible to try to replicate using memory tags, or just to *see* the Global Object definitions and all the discussed configurations... Up to you... - fuzzy logic

Timo, I think at this point it is difficult to continue the discussion without the possibility to see your application... May you post the *.apa file (or just the part involved in the question) so that users here can open it and try to better understand your issue ? - fuzzy logic

You're right, too intricacies due to the member specifier differences... I remember I've done that on a very small project for testing some time ago, but for a project like yours it isn't applicable. Apologize for the incorrect suggestion... - fuzzy logic

If the project will no longer verify because of this: Try to reinsert similar 1756 I/O modules using the same names and slot locations. The Generic Module may also work if no close match exists. This is done simply to recreate the module-defined tags that the application logic might reference. Since the SoftLogix Controller doesn't have real world I/O control, inhibit all the modules in the I/O Configuration list. - fuzzy logic

There are some intricacies inside the parameter passing concepts, I'll try to explain... Assumptions: 1. you've manually entered the Global Object Parameters Values inside each instance of your global object 2. the Goto Display button isn't grouped with the Global Object When you write {#1} inside Goto Display button's properties (as Parameter list's item) FactoryTalk View assumes you want to pass to the display to be opened the Display's Parameter value #1, NOT the Global Object Parameter value #1 !, so that the result is an error, as there isn't a parameter tag to pass. The fact is that Global Object Parameter's value CANNOT be passed through as a "normal" parameter value. Parameters and Global Object Parameters are different beasts... Consider that if you have multiple instances of the same Global Object on the same display, there are many Global Object Parameter's values named #1, so how can the Goto Display object know which is the right one to pass through ?! The way to have the Global Object Parameter's value pass through displays is to have the Goto Display button grouped as part of the Global Object's items. Assigning your Global Object Parameter's value #1 to that instance of the Global Object, will also "link" that value to the Goto Display button's Parameter List item #1 . Hope it is quite clear... - fuzzy logic

Did you already follow the procedures inside the User Manual, chapter 5 ? If answer is yes, at which point of the procedure are you encountering troubles ? - fuzzy logic
