Under the LED Function file in RSLogix 500 or RSLogix Micro is listed the internal bits for using the buttons. You will have to create your own logic to navigate the menus. The "OK" and "ESC" buttons are available. Use the following format: LCD:0.OK LCD:0.ESC -
Here is an answer that I gave in another forum. http://www.plctalk.net/qanda/showpost.php?p=639782&postcount=5 -
There is a cheaper way, the software RSLogix Micro. I think i saw it listed at $129.00 per copy and only programs the MicroLogix family of PLC's. The downside is you can not have RSLogix 500 and RSLogix Micro loaded on the computer at the same time, it must be one or the other. Hope this helps. -
It sounds like you have to configure COMM 0 for Modbus Master communications. It looks like you are communicating with the ML1100 by Ethernet so the DF1 Port should have the 1763-NC01 connected to it. You can do a search here and find the communication settings as they have been discussed many times here. -
I have replaced many burnt out relays. I disassembled the MicroLogix and found the manufacturer of the relay, I believe it was Omron, and I desoldered and replaced the relay. Be careful when deslodering, I used a low wattage soldering iron, 7 watts I believe. I had replaced a few of the 16 I/O models and kept the "Bad" MicroLogix. When I found the relays and who to order from, at about $5.00 each, I repaired all of the bad relays in the Micrologix PLC's and when I had a problem, I replaced it with the repaired unit. Hope this helps. -
Here are the parameters that I set for communicating with a FX2N or a FX3U PLC. See attached immage. -
When transferring an application there are three options. Internal, My Computer and a third. The name escapes me right now. Select that for the source file and not My Computer. From My Computer, browse to path C:\\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Allen Bradley\PanelView Component\User Data\ I think this is the path. Hope this helps -
I have called and asked about the speed of the update time using Internet Explorer 7. I was told that the application of the Component PanelView HMI's were built on Firefox 2.0. The representative suggested that I use Firefox 2.0. He stated that they were unsure of Firefox 3.0 as it had not been tested. Hope this helps. -
if you are a ab head, there is a 12v plc from rockwell. 1763-L16DWD 12 - 24VDC, relay output -
It has been my experience with the ML1000 when clearing the fault you have to write a "0" to S:5/8 Retentive Data, in order for the fault to be cleared successfully. Using the attached picture as a guide, highlight the "1" in S:5/8 and type in a "0" and press enter. Press the "Clear Fault" button. Try putting it back into run mode. -
slcman, I looked up the GE QuickPanel and it does not support Ethernet/IP. Ethernet/IP is the communication protocol for the ML1100. I use the IDEC HG3F 10 inch and the HG4F 12 inch Touch Screens. They have built in Ethernet that uses Ethernet/IP communications. IDEC is updating the HG2F 6 inch Touch Screen to include an Ethernet port. Hope this helps. -
From the manual for the 22-SMC-232 converter there are sample programs in the manual. There are PLC's listed that will be able to communicate with the PowerFlex 40 Drives. Attached is the Manual that will explain the communications to the drives and the parameters required for communicating with 2 or more PowerFlex 40 VFD's 22comm_um002__en_p.pdf -
You do not need a Modbus card. you can use the DF1 communications to control the PF4 and PF40 VFD's Here iss a sample program using a SLC5/04 to PF4 and PF40 http://forums.mrplc.com/index.php?autocom=downloads&showfile=458 Hope this helps -
Here is a Technote regarding your problem with Downloading the program. PLC_Fault_when_Downloading_Program.pdf -
DOPT is a communication instruction. FNC 89. I have not been able to find the description myself but I have used this instruction in some of the programs that were written with WinFX. I have posted a sample program in the downloads section that has this instruction in the program. I have been trying to find the description for DOPT for some time and I haven't been able to find it yet. I hope this helps at least a little. swimmy P.S. I have just checked plcs.net and 504bloke posteed this attached pdf of FNC 89 DOPT_1_.pdf -
I have run into similar problems with the PanelView Plus touch screens. Check the golbal settings. I have attached a screen shot of the Global settings. PanelView_Plus_Global.bmp -
Hello, I have added my reply because the PLC used is a ML1000 and not a ML1100. I have attached a sample program. Edit: Just to clarify the HSC. The ML1000, ML1200 and the ML1100 have (4) High Speed Inputs, Input 0 to 3, but only (1) High Speed Function file. ML1000_Count_Pulse.RSS -
From the sales flyer I found catalog number 1784-5.20 Attached is the hardware configuration manual. hdware_rm002__en_p.pdf -
Alex, I was able to spend more time searching and found that there is another 21h error. I have attached the error codes. It seems that the ML1200 is faulty. The error suggests that the expansion I/O power is faulty. TW had the right answer. Page D4 of the attached Error code listing. Error "0021" is the error that you origionally listed. Sorry for any confusion. Error_Codes_ML1200_and_ML1500.pdf -
Alex, Attached is a page from the ML1200 Programming Manual 1762-rm001_-en-p. The error 21h is listed. I hope this helps. 21h_Error.pdf -
It seems that you may not have defined some data correctly in a control block. Without your program, it will be impossible to find. Try going through the program and see if the data is defined correctly in any control blocks, ie.. SCP, MOV, FLL, ect.. -
There seems to be some confusion between "Nested" and "Extended" or "Parallel" branches. I have attached a print out from the help file from RSLogix 500. A maximum of 4 "Nested" branches per rung. A maximum of 75 "Parallel" branches per rung. I hope this helps Branching_Instructions.pdf -
I believe the web server is set to refresh every 30 - 60 seconds. The web server will not show real time I/O updates. I hope this answers some questions. -
Yes you can connect the ML1100 to the PowerFlex 40 and communicate via Modbus/RTU. There is a breakout module (1763-NC01) that is available but it is not required. There are program examples in the download section.

I have had similar experience with the MicroLogix 1400.
For the project, make sure you verify the project.
Go online with the PLC and Clear Processor Memory. then re-download the project.
Hope this helps
