http://forums.mrplc.com/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=868 This is a free version of RSLogix 500! If you want the version that includes RSLinx you will need to download it from the Allen Bradley site. There is an article on the main page of MrPLC.com with the details. Enjoy! Programming cannot be done from the LCD.

Hello, I am kind of ignorant when it comes to WW. I am using ver 10.1. I am trying to move a project to another pc and reestablish communications as well. I can move the project with application publisher. But how do I move the communication driver setup. I am using ABDASCIP. I am overthinking this I know.

see chapter 3 in the manual, if you didn't get one with the unit the download link is attached below, http://www.prosoft-technology.com/content/download/2708/26576/file/mvi94_mcm_user_manual.pdf there are also a couple of other items you may need to download here. The Master or Slave Files and the EDS files. http://www.prosoft-technology.com/prosoft/products/for_rockwell_automation/platform/flex_i_0/mvi94_mcm_mhi please give a little more information about your application and existing setup. Thanks

DeviceNet has a feature called Electronic Keying, which when disabled, allows the network to still function regardless of a devices series, revision, product code, vendor or device type. Sorry for the multiple posts, I am typing on my phone.

See 19931 - DeviceNet Electronic Keying - Description of functionality and example also

See kb 45065 if you have tech connect. On power flex 40 the major firmware rev has to match or you have to turn off the option that monitors firmware revs in on the device keying in the scanner card setup. Or you have to upgrade your scan list with the new device. Major tip, check your device net mapping before you load any new eds files. Sometimes integrators decide to modify the mapping instead of using the default i/o map. Especially if using multiple drives. I once had the same issue you are dealing with, maintenance had always been able to change out their drives until they finally got a couple with the newer firmware and "boom" the whole network down and no one wanted to tell me what they did, I had to find out the hard way. Then I updated the eds only to find out it had custom device net mapping that I had overwritten. So check that also.

Did the customer Change any devices on the network such ad a drive. Newer firmware will not be recognized my the scan list if the device keying is set to monitor that. Find out if there are any newer drives in the network and if so look at the firmware revision number and compare it to the older drives.

Do you have tech connect? if so see kb25961. I can't find any specifics about your exact issue. Looks like multiple edits from different stations are serialized and the last one wins. You can lock the controller from your workstation and prevent other users from editing. If you have pending edits but not yet written to the controller an another user makes a change you will lose your edits. Accept, Test, Untest, Assemble, and Cancel affect all users edits that are working on the same program even though they are working in a different routine as it is a program level command. Hope this helps.

Hugh Jack Books

There is much to learn right here on this site. Refer to the downloads section downloads , there are among numerous other things, a set of books by Hugh Jackman that I highly recommend. I learned a lot from this guy. There are many tutorials and videos. Reference material and whatever else you may need to get started. The guys on this forum are the best also, no trash talking jerks who want to brag about how smart they are? They really want to help, and spend a lot of their personal time to do so. So hang around a while and use the resources that are available here. And ask all the questions you can....

Do a little research on indexed and indirect addressing on a SLC. Will post more when I get back to my pc.

Do you have a backup copy of the plc program, you may need it. The plc may have lost its program. Could be a power supply issue as well, are there any lights on at all. download the manual below, chapter 5 has a good troubleshooting matrix. http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/in/1772-in001_-en-p.pdf Below are some other useful manuals. http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/pm/1772-pm003_-en-e.pdf http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/rm/5000-rm004_-en-p.pdf http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/pm/1772-pm001_-en-p.pdf

Certainly not wrong to ask, everyone needs to save a little cash. You certainly will save money Rockwell products aren't cheap. I would assume it depended on your application, environment, and end user skill level. Among other things.

Scott, find out if turck software has some sort of opc or dde interface. I you have a txt file does it give you the option for csv?

is it a 32bit or 64bit machine? I am attaching a compatability matrix. I think CPR 9 had RSLogix500 (7.30.10) Win 7 32 bit support didn't work till RSLogix 500 v8.30.01 and greater. 64 bit support wasn't till RSLogix500 (v8.40) Support.xls hope this helps Note, it has to be windows 7 professional as well.

Need more details, What Software Logix 500 or 5000? Are you using the same control word for both sequencers? That will make them index at the same time.

Do you have factory talk view studio? That is the development software for the panel view plus hmi's. you will need that to see the guts of the project.

It isn't on top of another object such as a panel is it? If so it could be hiding in the back behind it at runtime. Open the project and select the missing component, right click---->arrange---->bring to front. This should bring it to the top of all the other components.

What version of windows are you using? What Processor? PIC drivers are not compatible with Windows XP SP3. If you are running windows sp 2 or lower you should be good. 1. In the Configure Drivers window, check under Configured Drivers. Are there any AB_DF1 or AB_PIC drivers already configured? All of these will have to be deleted to configure your new driver. 2. Click the drop down arrow next to the Available Driver Types box and the following list will appear: 3. Click on the 1747-PIC/AIC+ Driver and then click the Add New... button to the right of the list. 4. The next window to appear will be Add New RSLinx Driver. Leave the default name of AB_PIC-1 and click OK. 5. The Configure PIC/AIC+ Device window will now appear(This window will be different in Windows 2000): You must make sure the right Comm Port (1 or 2), Baud Rate (default is 19200), Station Number (00), and Max. Station Number (31 is default) are chosen and click OK. 6. Close the Configure Drivers window. 7. Minimize RSLinx and open RSLogix. 8. If you have a copy of the project on your computer, on the main toolbar go to File, Open, choose the project.RSS file, and click on the open button. 9. On the main toolbar, go to Comms, System Comms....and click on the AB_DF1-1 driver on left-hand side of the screen. 10. The right-hand side of the screen will then display a picture of your computer and the processor you are communicating with If your processor has a red X on it or does not appear at all, communication has not been established. Check you cables. Hope this will help

I am finishing up my first completed system using the ring topology, I love the ease of integration, it was very easy to install with the daisy chain configuration. The CIP Motion format is great, having a really good time learning to use all the available features and control. I attached an Integrated Architecture Builder overview of the system that I installed, there is a bill of materials in it, it could help. One word, Kinetix Accelerator Toolkit. get it, learn it, use it. Its makes a lot of difficult repetitive tasks easy. servo_upgrade.pdf servo_upgrade_Org.pdf

You are trying to communicate w/ RS232 I assume. Do you have a real comm port or a virtual usb adapter? Some of them do not work, others do. If you need one Automation direct makes a good one I have used for years with AB PLC's http://www.automationdirect.com/adc/Shopping/Catalog/Communications/Serial/Telephone_Modems/USB-RS232 You have to make sure you get the drivers installed, for the cable as well. Once you plug it in to your computer type devmgmt.msc in the run box on the start menu. and go into device manager and see what comm port was assigned to the usb adapter. Set that up in your rslinx driver and it should auto configure. This may not even be the problem in your situation but I ran into this very issue a couple of years ago and it turned out to be the cable I was using. Good luck

I think this will work, I don't have my emulator set up. But it works on a binary calculator! The trick is using the mask to filter out the bits you don't want to look at, it shows up in hexadecimal form.: for instance: 1010101010101010 Source N7:0 1111111100000000 Mask 1010101000000000 Result N7:1 Next divide the result by 255 to truncate the first byte of data and the result to N7:2 Hope that Helps

That is awesome news.
