Recluse

I have no experience with Siemens and have set up a training station to teach myself. I was able to address and program some analog and digital cards but could not drive the digital out due to the BASP being active. I have an S5 135U with a 928B in the slot 11 (Second slot from the left). At this time there are no other cards in the rack and I have an empty CPU. I can do a cold start and put it in RUN mode but still can not get rid of the BASP. There are no critical errors listed in the ISTACK. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Ok Thanks. That clears it up a bit. Can I reach my other targets via the ethernet port on the cpu or do I have to connect to the serial port on each of the BEM733?

The answer to your second question is 5.90 build 4699. Now for the first question please refer to the attachment. Document.pdf This is my third week here and I'm new to GE PLCs. We are going to add a fourth fan to our bag house. The technician here started a project for this. I was looking at the logic of the existing fans to see what kind and how much I/O would be needed for the fourth fan. This led me to the hardware configuration and to familiarize myself to the modules already in use. I expanded slot 3 where a IC697BEM731 resides and researched the modules underneath this. I found literature on the IC697BEM733(SBA1, SBA2, and SBA10). These seemed to function like an AB ControlNet module so I thought it was strange that I could not drill down to the I/O that were assigned to each of the these modules. Sooooo I went to the site and did a physical assessment to verify what was really out there etc. It was after this that I found a second project version with three additional targets(Remote_SBA1, Remote_SBA2, and Remote_SBA10) that you could expand out and see the modules underneath each. The hardware configuration listed on the second version (Bag House pdf on previous post) reflects what I found out in the field. So my question is this: How can I verify which project version is running in the CPU? When I uploaded to a new project I created it gave me the logic but ONLY the single target configuration. I want to make sure when I upload that I am receiving the logic AND the hardware configuration that currently exists in the system. I'm just not getting a warm and fuzzy feelling that this happened when I uploaded.

See the attached file. I have project versions that include targets REMOTE_SBA1, REMOTE_SBA10, AND REMOTE_SBA2 and other versions that do not. I can go online with either version without receiving any kind of harware configuration mismatch. If I upload to a new project it updates the logic but only updates the harware configuration with the Baghouse target only.Bag House.pdf

CPU: IC698CPE010 Bus Controller: IC697BEM731 Remote Scanners(3): IC697BEM733 Software: Proficy Machine Edition 5.9 I've worked with AB but am new to GE. I uploaded the current program into a new project. I recieved all the logic but only the main rack hardware. The remote hardware did not upload. I did read in the help files "Coupled Hardware Configuration and Logic" where the Variable Mode on one of the I/O modules can be set to TRUE. I was going to try this. Can anyone confirm this or offer additional information. Also what is the advantage in keeping them independant? Thank you.
