  1. 1794-IR8 Configuration

    Thank you Joe E. Yes, I noticed that the manual was very out dated as well.  So I believe its been sorted out. There was a wiring issue along with something on page 4-3 of the manual. There is a small note there that says there is an implied decimal one space to the right of the last digit, so I had to divide by 10 for the correct value and make it a REAL value. Note to self: Read The all the small notes in the manual. Thank you for your help with this.
  2.  Hello everyone.  I have installed a remote Flex i/o enclosure with a AENTR ethernet adapter and an 1794-IR8 RTD card. I have landed 4 Rtd's on this card. The RTD's are 3 wire PT100's with a Fahrenheit range of -58 - 572. I have tried using an AOI scale block and tried using some other scaling methods we have and nothing seems to work. I have tried reading the 1794-IR8 manual, but it's not very helpful (To me anyways). Is there certain config bits on this card that need to be set? I have never used one of these cards before. Any thoughts or ideas? Anything would be appreciated.  
  3. Absolute Encoder Scaling

    Thanks for all the help fellas. We got working perfectly now.
  4. Absolute Encoder Scaling

    No. This is over ethernet
  5. I have a Sick wire draw absolute encoder  (Part # BCG13-I1BM0599) The given information that I have is as follows: - Wire Draw Absolute Encoder (wire draw mechanism and encoder together) - .001 resolution - Encoder Total Resolution - 1073741824 counts - Counts per revolution - 262144 - Max pull out length - 5.2 meters   I need to scale this down to a span of 0-150 inches. If you have any advice, I would very much appreciate it as I am at my wits end. Thanks.
  6. I have a 1734-aentr point i/o ethernet adapter that I’m trying to add to studio 5000. The 1734-aentr is is a C-series with Revision 6 firmware. When I go to “create module” and try to change the series and revision, it doesn’t give me the option of the rev. or series that I need. I have extracted the the revision of the options it gives me (revision 5, b series), but it doesn’t come up in control flash when I try to flash it. Any suggestions?
  7. Moving Local Tags

    Yeah, When I created the new tag, I had copied a routine and renamed each instance of it in the new routine already (A LOT OF THEM) before I realized that it created as a local tag. Screwed myself pretty good. I'll just wait till they go down, upload, then download I guess. Thank you for your help though.
  8. Is there a way to move local tags into controller tags without doing it offline?
  9. Does anyone know how to set up a JXR instruction. I would like to use another routine if a manual set is required, and use the auto routine if normal run conditions are correct. 
  10. Could I use a GSV instruction to capture the exact time that I get 2 discrete inputs ?
