PowerFlex 40D Variable Frequency Drive (RS485 communication wiring)
NevergoldMel replied to Bogdan.Vlad's topic in Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation
You need a converter to go from TTL to rs485. There's a voltage difference that could potential cause damage to cheaper equipment. This is specifically made for what you're doing. uxcell 5V MAX485/RS485 Module TTL to RS-485 -

Schneider Altivar 630 VFD program problem - fan auto start
NevergoldMel replied to kaiser_will's topic in Modicon / Telemecanique / Schneider Electric
It's not in the menu on the hmi, I had to use SoMove to find the value to change. Even then that was a Run CMD by Network. I think this is exactly why most VFD's are controlled in Hand or by PLC/DCS -
High Pass / Low Pass Filter Knowledge
NevergoldMel replied to Stuart_Wales's topic in Control Panel Building
I'd like to know the application. There are differences in how you would use those depending if it's radio, telecom, cablecom, dsl, or even docsis cable. -
MSG command is for PLC to PLC not PLC to HMI

Just use which ever of these will fit between the usb to serial converter and the HMI. Null Modem Adapter Male to Female Null Modem Adapter Female to Female Null Modem Adapter Male to Male

Did you create the missing Datatypes?
-
Generally it's either a firewall issue or on occasion I've had the simulator not close and had to manually terminate the application from task manager.

Managed switches should not be necessary unless there are reason to not physically separate the controls network from the Regular use network in the organization.

Micrologix 1200 clearing controller memory
NevergoldMel replied to Danny's topic in Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation
It's just verifying that the processor named ML1200 is the one you want to load with the project bearing the processor name parosonr. -
Copy data value from one PLC to another using PanelView
NevergoldMel replied to queenslandpommie's topic in Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation
Ohh, fun ahead, since the 1500 uses compactlogix cards and the 1400 uses regular micrologix cards. -
Ubiquiti ToughCable Getting a neat termination is a bit rough so I recommend you get some 3/4" marine grade shrink tube to both seal out moisture and pretty it up.

I've been using The Rhino PSB series from http://www.automationdirect.com but I only like the metal cased ones. I don't much like the PSC series as they are wicked wide and have tiny terminals.

I'd consider VTscada from Trihedral Engineering

VTscada has a 50 tags free version.

NevergoldMel replied to marckTony's topic in Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation

Analog Ultrasonic sensor to Allen Bradley 5000
NevergoldMel replied to mmd604's topic in Control Panel Building
There are Function Block Diagrams for that. -
I wouldn't think it was necessary to use shielded cable for that length unless there is a great deal of High voltage 3 phase or such right on top of it. Most Companies use BLUE for DC+ wiring some also use it for the negative side but many use grey. I wouldn't use black outside of a shielded cable because alot of companies use black for H1 [incoming L1 from outside the panel to the breakers and such].

RSlogix Micro does not support SLC500's You'll need RSlogix500 [which is out of development, possibly not for sale].
