  1. Hi i need some urgent help to addressa compact logix variable in citect, i have established comms to the processor , just need to get the correct address syntax. my variable is a floating point (Real) and its FT115.PV in the processor as a controller tag How do i address it in citect?
  2. all sorted with this issue now. found i had a setting incorrect in citect.
  3. Replace the PLC5 with a ethernet model like a PLC5/20E (you can get them used for AUS $5k) probably cheaper in singapore . its a simple slot mount replacement of hardware,the software migrate for the PLC 5 is easy (a 3 minute job with rs logix, open the file offline and change processor type, resize data table when prompted) then use ethernet for comms. i have done this many times in my plant
  4. I have 4 General Electric Multilin PQMII-T20-A power quality meters connected on a daisy chain RS485 2 wire half duplex network with baud of 19200. they are addressed as nodes 1,2,4 & 6. the RS485 network is connected to a Modbus Ethernet/RS485 convertor which i have setup with IP 10.15.35.126 for my network, the port used in the convertor documentation is port 502. i need some help to get Citect to pull a tag out of this network. my issue is the comms setup of citect. i have attached my screen shot of citect setup (Citect is V7.2). thanks in advance for any help on this issue.
