Hi, guys, we want to make a small project with InView Messaging software and Logix 5000 using Ethernet. Could you tell us where we get find some user/configuration manuals about InView Messaging software, because we never touch it before? And could you give us main ideas about following questions: 1, when the tag “pump_on.0 “ is ON, we want to show the massage “The pump is ON” on the marquee. How can we make it up? 2, how can we transfer the time/date on PLC to the marquee and keep them synchronous? 3, if the value of integer “parts_account” is XXX on PLC, then we want to see the massage “We already built XXX parts” on the marquee. How can we configure it? 4, how can make it happen? E.g. Messages “Welcome time/date” and “ We already built XXX parts” display on the marquee in a continuous loop. But when tag “pump_on.0 “ is ON, only show “The pump is ON”. Until this bit is OFF, we will go back to the loop. Since we have not got the manual yet, the toughest issue is we do not know how configure a logic connection to control displays on the marquee by logix 5000 and InView software. Thanks for your time and have a wonderful day!

Hi, guys, we have one production line with 5 Panelview Plus these are connecting to one Logix5000 via Ethernet. We want to change one Panelview Plus 1250 with the same model. We just need to set up IP address on new Panelview Plus as current one and transfer the current program to the new one, then it will work well, right? Thanks a lot.

Hi, guys, we have a 840Dsl milling machine. Since one week ago, there is a small issue on it: LEDs on MCP are freezing after pressing Reset (PO) on the HMI. We have to shut down the main power and power up, then MCP works well. When LEDs were freeing, we checked the I/Os on MCP via PLC. They were all functional. E.g. I0.0 is for “JOG” on MCP and Q0.0 is for its LED. I0.3 for “AUTO” and Q0.3 for its LED. When we pressed “JOG” button, I0.0 and Q0.0 are both 1. And when we pressed “AUTO”, I0.3 and Q0.3 are both ON. But the LEDs still remain the same as the last status before we press Reset (PO) on the HMI. We replaced a new MCP, but the same problem. We found that for normal MCP, if it has communication failure with PLC, all LEDs are flashing. But in our case, even the HMI showed us communication failed, the LEDs were still freezing. We checked I/Os and changed MCP, so we think the communication cable or 24V power may be defective. Could you give us a hand to figure it out ? Thanks a lot.

Hi, guys, I am confused on parameter 82, PowerFlex 70. 082 Maximum Speed: default: 50 or 60 HZ, min/max: 5.0/500.0 HZ. Now, we have a motor (60HZ, 1725rpm), If there is 30 HZ displayed on the drive, what’s the actual motor speed difference 082=60 HZ and 082=300 HZ ? And we checked the PLC program, there is a function: actual motor speed (rpm) = XXX (type: int.) / 252.2 * 28 could someone tell us where XXX and 252.2 come from and what their meaning are? (we know Z = 1725 (rpm) * Y / 60 (HZ) = 28.75 Y.) Thanks a lot.

Hi, guys, we bought some new batteries for Logix5563/5561. But after plugging them in, battery indictor on the controller was ON. So we had to change the current battery back and ind. was off. We used the meter to check batteries and there were 3V on them. Could you tell us how to fix this problem? Thanks a lot.

Hi, guys, could you tell us how to program a Less Time On logic on Logix5000? E.g. if the duration of input “tagI” on is Less than 3s, the output “tagO” will be on. Thanks a lot.

Thanks for your time. But I mean: if the total execution time of "tagI" is less than 3s, then "tagO" will be ON; if the total execution time of "tagI" is >= than 3s, then "tagO" will keep OFF.

Thanks a lot.

Hi, all. We have a logix5000 plc and PanelView Plus 1000. We want to add a function in the PV: when tag5 is ON in plc, the screen5 in PV will show up automatically. Could you tell us how to configure it in logix5000 and factorytalk view studio? Thanks a lot.

Got it. Thanks a lot. The configuration is not too tough, but we spent more time on how to find the screen no.. At last, we figure it out that go to ”Edit” -> “Display Settings” -> “Display Number”. We read the document on website. For “Login” button and function, it looks like: you have to log in first, than you can go to screen XX with code Y. Can we make it happen: after you press go to screen XX button, the login function works. Then you need to input user name and password? Thanks again.
