  1. OTL Latch problem

    Thank you, that was it a CLR. Learn somenthing new every day.
  2. I have a program here that has Latch (OTL) with no (OTU) it works ok. There is more than one in this program. I have RsLogix500 software and a Microligix1500 PLC. Book1.xls
  3. import IO configuartion

    Might have got it went to the controller properties aned set it up so far so good dut a invalid direct file offset error.
  4. I am trying to load a new program into my trainer. I get a IO undefind error. Is there a way to import the io from the orginal program into my new one? thank you Michael
  5. Monitor PLC with Panel View

    Thank you for the input, I changed the comm port by the push button and monitored with the PV unpluged it worked as needed, changed the port back and PV communicated Ok. Thanks again
  6. always on or off bit?

    Thanks for all the input, I needed to do the removal of a sequence in the machine and did it on wensday, I just used a output bit tied to the power rails and adressed it as a XIC I think or what i would call a NC or B type contact. When I get some time I will try the other sugestions you sent. I am making a trainer out of an old machine God knows I need it, I think you need to be real smart to do the AB stuff, man the Toyopuc is easy one cable + 2 adaptors for servo drive and very old PLC, one software for all PLC's. How much of the american market do you think AB has. I am enjoying learing it, it seems like all the job ads refer ot AB. I think I will like it when I get used to it. Thanks againg for all the help
  7. Monitor PLC with Panel View

    Do not have a card, do not know that card is yet. very new to AB, It is a micrologix 1500 PLC.
  8. I have a machine that I need to make some changes on. it has a PV hooked to the PLC, Is there a way to run the machine and monitor with or without the panel view hooked up. I will get the machine in about an hour and will try to run with it unhooked, it would be nice to be able to monitor the PLC with it hooked up. Is this possible? Thank you
  9. I need a always off bit in I am using rsligix 500 sopftware with a micrologix 1500. In the PLC i am used to it is a V4,V5 for off or on, you just use this adress for the NO,NC coil. What is the bit for AB I have looked in the PDF manual I have but found none so far. here is the example I have in my old PLC type. It Is in an excell file. Thank you v4_v5.xls
  10. got it to work, had to export from the orginal first then import from ascill. Thanks
  11. Rslinx communication issue

    Thank you, packing up for the weekend now but will get info and post on Monday, It is like back to day one with AB, all HMI I have ever seen was just routed to a link card. this method saves money but how could you monitor or troubleshoot on the fly with this system?
  12. Hi. I am very new to AB and have many questions. I have a copy of the plc on my hard drive with the new program change that I made, I also have the orginal disk with the comment csv. file, is there a simple way to import the csv to the file i just saved. On the software I usually use there is a import under the file menu is there somenthing like that in the RS logicx 500, I have looked but have not found it. If you have any Toyopuc or Jtekt plc questions i can help with them. thank you
  13. Hi, I am having a problem configuring the drivers on 2 machines. Today I have backed up programs in 8 machines with no issue they are all 1200,1500 micrologicx plc's. The 2 that would not let me auto configure have a panelview 550 connected to them. I removed the cable routed to the panel view and used a 1761-cbl-pm02,ser.c cable. I recieved the same fault on each panelview machine check cable and setting. I read about some panel viel issues on this site, most commented on the channel settings and baud rate. I am trying to back up the plc though. Do you have to set up a different driver for the plc that are communication with the PV than those that are not. What if any are the chanell and baud rate to use with this set up, or do they follow no special set up. I am new to AB Thank you very much.
  14. Where is Ron's class, can you send contact info to me. Thank you
  15. Vendor way overpriced

    Thanks for the input. A little background on the machine It is a 110V machine that used a normal plug in. It is small and can fit in the back of a pickup. Just info to understand the size. The wire is not routed through any place hard to get to so the 12 hours seems way over it is a simple machine 2 link I/O pretty basic. They sent it out before I came here and the guy who sent it is gone from the company. The deal was not done right at all. they claim that a removed ground blew everything, I really dont see how unless it was into a power line. I think they landed some wires wrong and want us to foot the bill. I will tread lightley when I meet with them. They sent a bill with an amount only, we asked for a list of work. I think they just threw a price out and now they are trying to fill the bill with fluff.
