The BOOTP/DHCP is unable to function because port 67 is being used by another process Throwing this in here because I have a plethora of problems with BootP since Win10. It is rare that I use Boot/P, we don't need to install a lot of new devices, as we are an OOM. Had an old 5/05 that should of had an IP address but did not and was not immediately discoverable by other means. Could not read through the serial port because it was set up as half duplex and apparently RSlinx and/or my cable would not work on half duplex (auto find could not see any PLC's). We tested the serial port of an identical 5/05 and see the same issue, moving that to Full duplex would allow a connection. We looked at the last program back up we had and found that it was indeed set to half duplex. So, suspecting that PLC did not have an IP address, I received an error which is the first line above. It also said it was a service host with PID 10262 that was using it. I opened my services and looked for PID 10262, it was being used by a "Shared Services" function, which I stopped. Then BootP opened and worked fine. Reality is, that if I reboot, this service will likely restart and cause the same issue and I don't think I can keep it off all the time. If I can find a way to reassign this service, I'll post more here.   Good luck

yup...I actually had that manual, didn't know until I downloaded, I think Kep sent it to me. TY

Can I add a QJ71E71-100 Ethernet card into an expansion rack? (I think they call them extension base units)

Looks like they set it for Unpassive, I'll try some morphed settings.

just read an article where cognex was connecting to this card with MC Protocol....checking...  

I can ping it and no errors, so is almost set up... question though, on the integrated port, I have to set the protocol to UDP using "MC Protocol" and give it a port to be able to access this from KEPware. The "Open Settings" are different on the attached card and I can't select MC Protocol, only Active,Unpassive, FullPassive and Melsoft Connection.  

ooof...had to do hard reset...

All I added was the Ethernet at 0100, had to change the Start XY layout at the point as they were set to 16 points, Intelligent is 32

hmmm getting strange error after adding the card...

station number... So the idea is to program over it, but will be connected to an OPC server as well, KEPware....So...ah...station number?  

This worked perfect, once I removed the crap from my eyes, again, much appreciated.

Is it possible to connect via the integrated ethernet on a Q3 CPU through CClink to program a Q2 CPU? I can only find the possibility to connect to a GOT via ethernet and then from the GOT to the 2Q CPU via CClink.  I need to program the Q2 CPU through the Q3 CPU using the integrated ethernet on the Q3. CPU's are connectected together via CClink. any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks Gambit....I'm heavy Siemens background, can't use some modules in expansion. I think Rockwell you can as well (newer).

oooooh... I hope this works....! TY much appreciated!!!  

We have a system that was put together by a Japanese company. There are three devices exchanging data. A GOT1000 for the operator interface, the machine control running a Q2H CPU, and a Q3UDE that gathers production information from supporting processes. They are all exchanging data via CClink. Need some direction on how this is setup so I can follow the data from PLC to PLC. I was trying to upgrade the 2QH to a Q3UDE, which mostly worked, but appeared to have a CClink issue.

Thanks Gambit,  When I do a read all, are these settings captured? It appears something did not get read, or I have to modify something due to new CPU type.  I download a crap of those trainings....not sure about the linked one though, so will do that now.

So I backed up all the data in the 2QCPU and changed the CPU type in GX Works to a 3Q, messages made me kind of nervous after the conversion, but I noted them in case I needed to. The new CPU appeared to work, but there was a problem reading a data point from the GOT 1000, see pic... There is a CClink connection to another CPU and this is an area I'm not experienced in yet so I'm trying to figure out what this error might be. I only found when I triggered a particular screen that called the data point. Shouldn't the intelligent connection to another CPU be maintained?  It was a bit strange at first to get the machine moving again, but all things appeared to be working after some fidgeting. Any help greatly appreciated.

We have one Q02HCPU  that I want to update to a Q03UDECPU, any problems to just read everything from the 2Q and write everything to the 3Q? I'm not sure how thorough the read function is.

hmm...on a similar angle, if the PLC battery and Memory battery are good and you pull out a CPU and then reinstall it, all should be maintained yes? I see that comments gobble up space and in this instance, there are not any comments in the PLC ( I was starting to put them in and seen the impact on memory right away)

wait....it just dawned on me, to get to the screen settings of a 1572, you have to hold your finger in two corners, so...multi touch (at least two I guess).

I converted a GOT1000 project to a GOT2000, Changed the physical screen from a 1000 series to a 2000 series, everything expect a push button combination works. We have in the screen to change a part from GOOD to BAD, by holding one button on the screen and selecting the part we want to be bad. The buttons change states per normal but the logic did not change the part to bad (it is tracked in a data point in the PLC). I compared this to a GOT1000 screen I also worked on, the logic is the same, but the touch box is not in the same position, but as noted above the screen does acknowledge the buttons as pushed. Anyone have any ideas what could have changed that it does not work now?

GT1572-VNBA was the unit I replaced with a GT25 (not sure the number off hand) That unit look familiar?

ooof....that's interesting and I did not think of that. I doubt the GOT1000 would have it and I don't think the version I bought does either. Could be a sequence problem. I'll have to test right at the HMI tomorrow and see how the contacts respond in the program.

Select the Menu option "Online", then "Verify with PLC", you get a new screen that has a split showing the offline version you have loaded and the target area you want to verify with, selecting the title box will automatically select subordinates (Program (Program File), Parameter. Once you've checked the boxes, select "Execute". PLC Verify box pops up and shows progress, then a new window opens call "Verify Result" If there is a mismatch you will see this in red in this new screen.   Intelligent Function Module appear to not verify, others may have a comment on this. I don't typically verify Device memory.

We have some 2Q and 3Q CPU's that IT wants to collect data from, how best for IT to connect with these CPU's to read data? TIA
