Here the manual. page 101 show you how to use high speed counter. http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/i...rm001_-en-p.pdf

Hi all, I want to do a large amount of math operation with a compactlogix processor. I wrote to Rockwell support and they told me the ladder is the faster programming language, second is statement list & sequential and the slowest is function block. I'm surprise...I was thinking statement list will be faster than ladder! Anyone have some experience with different programming language? Ladder is really the faster ?

Thanks everyone for the help and web site. Last question, it is a good idea to use C++ for build window based application? All documentation I see is for console (command window) it's hard to found documentation on where to start for do a project with windows, push button, textbox, ect... Suggestion for the Forum for administrator: The web site should have a C++, VB & JAVA section. We have a lot of member who know this code and they knowledge can be helpfull. Thanks again This forum is one of the most powerfull forum on the web...

If you have have a web licence, you cannot use floppy or usb (2 first option), don't know for BobLfoot option. You must use Factorytalk activation tool for do licence transfert.

I don't think you can share data between AB & Omron thru ethernet...

Here the reply from Rockwell

Witch com port are you using (ethernet or serial)? Did you try both port, did you can the same problem with ethernet and serial. If you using serial port, do you use it as DF1 or DH-485? Maybe I'll be able to help with more detail...

You could try express card or pcmcia serial board. Never try it with DOS TIsoft but it work where usb to serial doesn't. http://www.quatech.com/catalog/expresscard_performance.php

Here is Step 5 v 7.2 programming manual Step_5_v_7.2_manual.pdf

Hi all I send TIsoft for TI505 serie. Original software, is not a common procedure to send software on this forum but this one is obsolete and you cannot buy it anywhere. So I decide to send it for help member, I wish Admin will be agree with my decision. I also have the programming manual for TI plc but the file is too large for the forum (8.5Mb) and I don't know how to put it on this web site (download section or other). Regards TI505.zip

In the menu, clic on File -> Workstation setup... and check the box use rslink. You'll be able to use all your RSLink driver.

I did few project with wireless connection. You should use fix Ip adresse for plc. The Ip must be unique, don't use the same Ip for router and plc. Enter the same mask (for example 255.255.255.0). Connect plc in LAN port of the router, and connect your pc with wireless (you can use a unique static Ip or DHCP). Usually, I use DHCP for connect laptop on the network, it's faster and simple. So the network is mix (static: plc and router DHCP: computer) For test connection between plc - router - computer you can use the command window in the start menu -> RUN... . Type ipconfig for see you laptop Ip adress, type ping <plc Ip adress> for check connection. If you got ping timeout, the problem is in your network configuration (Ip adress, mask, cable) and if you got a good ping reesponse but cannot communicate with RSlogix, the problem is in RSLink configuration. RSLink: I figure out you know how to add a driver, you are able to communicate thru serial comm. Add AB ETH-1 driver. Then, right clic -> configure driver and add plc Ip adress (add HMI Ip if you use one) You should see you plc in RSWho. Have fun, I really appreciate wireless..

Hi all, I would like to connect to M1100 and panelview component thru internet. I have 1 micrologix 1763L16BWA, Panel View component C600 and Dlink router EBR-2310 (nothing is connected to WAN port at this time). I never did it, I don't know where to start...any idea? Did I have to setup a VPN? I only have RSLink lite, it will work or I need gateway? My custumoer must have a fix Ip adress or not? Thanks for your help

Internet will come from corporate LAN. I think I'll have some documentation to read and few test do to....it's not a easy job! Like everybody says, I'll try to do VPN connection. I tried to use LAN modem from AB 9300-RADES, work well but need phone line and its slow. I want to install remote ethernet far away, so my phone bill will increase a lot each time I'll use the connection. This is the reason why I want to try VPN connection. I don't understand why AB don't have ant product for do VPN connection to AB product... thanks all

You're right Ken, the MicroLogix and PanelView Component are installed on the same machine and communicate locally, and I wants to be able to maintain and reconfigure them remotely using the Internet as the connection. I don't space to put a pc in cabinet! If use the router with port fowarding like you say, my customer can disconnect internet connection (unplug cable) when he didn't need remote assitance and I can put password in plc and HMI, it's more safe. What are you thinking of my idea? Second question, RSLink Classic can do the job for connect to the plc? I use ETH-IP driver, so witch Ip I put in the driver (router, plc?) Should I use another driver? I don't know what I have to type in explorer adress bar for get access in the panelview. Like Bob say, I found Ethernet port AB use. I left the file in the forum if someone need it. thanks guy for your help... Ethernet_port.pdf

When I use a pc, I can enter the login and password by how I can do it with PLC & HMI?

Yes the application is running, I don't understand why I got this warning.

Hi again, I got this window after validating my application. All error is when I use Float (wrtie value to float). As you can see in screen shot, my data type is real, adress is float. Don't know where I miss something, any idea? thanks

What's the difference between PowerFlex 4 and powerflex 4M? Thanks

I'm not sure but it's look like bit / word format. Same for input I0 and AI0, output Q and AQ. I attach file...may help. Logo_e.pdf

Hi all, what is the purpose of BR bit in status bit. I have program who using SAVE instruction. I see in help file SAVE instruction put RLO in BR (bit register). How do you use it in your code? thanks

Anyone tryed UltraWare on Vista buisness? It's work? I found nothing in knowledge base. thanks

Thanks for your helps BobLfoot & Mickey. Your are powerfull member on this forum!

I found in tools -> Visual Basic menu some VB feature. Can I put some VB code in my project? If yes, how I call the VB code? How I can use VB??? Thanks

Last question, the VBA code is execute in the PC or in the PLC? Like in your exemple, if I do a SUM of 10 integer and put it in F8:0, who do this job? PLC or PC thanks for your help
