    I have put in 23 (twenty three) of these 1756-EN2F modules and have always left the rotary switches at the default 999 per AB Tech Support

    and have had absolutely no problems what so ever.  See Tech Note that describes the setup of the 1756-EN2F for firmware version 10.010

    I set the IP address, Subnet and Gateway via the USB port (RSLinx) on the front of the module before the module is put in its actual rack in place

    of the 1756-ENBT.

    Replacing a 1756-ENBT in a working system (6 years) that also uses a NTRON ENET to Fiber Optic (62.5 Multi-Mode) Media converter to a new 1756-EN2F

    and I can no longer Ping the new 2F module (I also put the same IP, Subnet and Gateway addresses in the new 2F module using the USB port on the front of

    the 2F module.

    Any ideas why..??

    Thanks,

    The EWEB should be on the left side of the processor as it is part of the 1768 bus as Slot 1. Proc is always slot 0 The 1768 modules are on the left side (1768 bus) starting with slot 1. The 1769 modules are on the right side (1769 bus) also starting with slot 1. 1769-ECR is an End Cap Right (ECL = End Cap Left). I don't believe you have to add the end caps into your IO Config.

    Hi All... See attached jpg Im using RSLogix5000 v20 and attached is how we typically handle each alarm. Im not an expert on AOI but would like to use them (if possible) and was wondering if this would be a place to use them, and if so could someone post an example. Thanks

    Im using this to trigger (reset) a watchdog timer relay, so it has to be every second. The watchdog timer is made for this fast triggering. The problem isn't want Im driving...its the output module in my PLC. The watchdog timer sends out a 12vdc signal and this is what you use to send back to the reset signal. Im using a dry contact on a OW16I module but I feel there is a better way.

    Hi All, I have an existing 1756-OW16I output module that we are switching an output (very low load) on/off every second. It works but about once a year I have to move it to another output due to failure. Im just switching a 12vdc signal to a relay coil. There has to be a better solution to this type of output. I just need a dry contact but switchable at a cycle rate of 1 second. Any suggestions..??? Thanks

    I know this is a topic that can be frustrating at best. View is different depending on where you are standing. There is no perfect answer, and each environment requires special treatment. And we as OEM want some sort of protection as well. The fine line to walk is that line between what gives us protection and what gives our customers the abilities to maintain equipment. Im hoping to do both..!!

    Bering Sea...May you live to be a 100 years old..!!! You are a Saint..!! That helped me soooo much..!!! Im sorry if it taking me awhile, but my brain keeps trying to revert back to RSLogix500. Sometimes it takes a lot of rain to get thru to my thick skull. Panic Mode.. There term array is not familiar to me. How/do I do that..?? What does array term mean exactly..?? All, Im so sorry for my ineptitude, but Im really trying to learn this RSLogix5000...so I may have more stupido questions. Muchísimas gracias

    The problem Im having is when I look at the program I see for example a XIC like instruction at the beginning of the rung. It does not have an address on it but a tag (I guess they call it) thats LWCO. Same way with what looks like an OTE instruction labeled FAN_FWD How do I find out exactly what Module and point that these are actually assigned to..??? Thanks

    Hi All... Longtime RSLogix500 user just starting with RSLogix5000 Ver 20. Im used to finding all the IO in RSLogix 500 by the address. I just got my first RSLogix5000 project and I would like to know how to map/ find the specific module inputs and outputs by only having a cryptic tag. How do I simply associate any tag with a module IO point..??? Is there a secret to this..?? Thanks so much..!!!
