  1. Hello!   I am trying to do first serial communication VFD control with PLC. (NX1p2) I read and learned that CiA402 is "standard" for ethercat control, is there any reason to use something else, or is CiA402 way to go?  What Fb should i use for VFD control, or should i make my own? Is there any library for VFD control?   Thanks for help!

  4. Hey guys, I'm sorry if this has been asked here before.  Whenever I search, I'm getting: Error code: EX144 no matter what I search for.  Anyway...  I wanted to find out if anyone had recommendations for software that I could use to layout a panel.  It doesn't have to meet any regulations, or be legally certified by a PE, I just need to mount a bunch of PLCs, DIN Rail, some sensors, VFDs, all of that fun stuff, and I was hoping maybe some software existed (...that I could afford--an important distinction I should include!) that would have all of the most common PLC racks, (AB, S7, GE, Ti, MOD) with all (or most) of the hardware to go along with it.  In a perfect world maybe even allow loading of .stp files.  If it tracked all my inter-module connections (Ethernet, DH+, DH485, RS485, MS/TP, Profi, and so on) that would just be the cherry on top!  I'm open to Open Source, or even Visio, if someone has created all the common PLC racks into module I could load and drag around.  The big thing is, I'd like to know how I can arrange the PLCs and all the DIN mounted devices to make the best of the space I have.  I'm talking about 23 different PLC racks, and at least twice that many DIN mounted gateway modules.  Then, a handful of VFDs; PF525, PF755, PF40, a PVP+, some NET-AICs and NET-ENIs along with power supplies breakers, some relays, IO-Link boards, and so on.  I'll figure out the wiring another way if I need to.  First, I need to arrange and organize the racks so I know where I can run the cable track, and maybe even figure out how much of I am going to need. Many thanks a head of time, guys.  If software exists that is $10k…it is going to be out of the question.  But, if there are some that might cost a couple hundred bucks, or maybe even online sites where I can pay for a year or so to design these couple various racks I need to define, that would be wonderful.  
  5. GE iFIX 2 SCADA's on the same node

    I have 2 virtual machines on the same domain network with iFIX (one for primary one for backup) and want to connect them on the same node. When connecting to the configuration hubs, it only accepts the host name of that computer and verifies the connection. When setting up a remote node in SCU, it prompts to enter a name and does not verify or check a connection and just says the remote node is added. Is there a way to connect them with one another so they can use the same configuration hub? Thank you.
  6. Hi, I connected 5069-L306ER compactLogix 5380 controller and ethernet based product. using studio 5000 software to test the communication and data transmission. Our Ethernet based product have an EDS file without any error and works well when I use for Codesys prooject. i'm trying to test our product using allen bradley PLC and the same EDS file. some of the exclesive owner connections are missing. but input only connection having full set of connection parameters. why does this happened?  exclusive owner connection : 1 x 3phase, 6x 3phase, 9x3phase, 10x3phase and 16x3phase are missing from the list. but input only full set from 1 to 16 is showing.    NOTE: there is no error occured when I test this same EDS file with codesys and no errors found in Ez-EDS tool as well.  
  7. Hi, im doing safety programing and then im testing the program some of the lines wont change state. the lines that are green is true ans black is false. but why are some of the lines yellow? any smart fellows that have an idea? many thanks
  8. If anyone can help me with this, I want the machine only get into run state whenever there is an User logged in. If no user logged In and trying to operate something I will prompt an String message 'Need to login first'. and If logged in/logged out status i want to monitor on PLC. Though IN panel view it doesn't allows to operate  anything if not logged in but I want to monitor the status on PLC.
  9. We have not used Sysmac Studio in a while (more than 3 yrs).  so when the engineer tries to start it, we got: “Application Error: Failed to Initialize Sysmac Studio.  Sysmac Studio will now terminate” There was another post from 2019 saying that there were windows updates and they are rolled back. but that was in 2019, and it wasn't clear what updates were rolled back.  I have update the software from 1.40 to 1.56 manually (the auto update didn't work) but the message still appears.  We are running Windows 10. Is there anything I can look for to get this resolved?
  10. Hi! A have a question about how can I send the current User data from the Panelview (HMI) to the PLC. Its an allen bradley PLC 1756 L71. In the Factory Talk view I tried to make a register and to move in it the current user, but unfortunatelly its not working. Is anybody here who can help me with this ? Thanks ahead. Br.
  11. I want  increase the length of string from 82 to 150. By default it comes 82 is it possible to do so in Studio 5000
  12. Hello, I have a Q02CPU and QJ71E71-100 terminal and want to do a simple test of the Fernhill SCADA system. I have successfully connected the Fernhill software project to my PLC and gotten a word variable from the PLC be represented by a tag in the Fernhill SCADA system. However, I have issues doing the same for my bit variables. In Fernhill they should be internal relays but I get error 4031h in Fernhill: Melsec Error 4031h - The specified device number is outside the device range. I do not understand what is wrong. My PLC variables are each a global variable, internal relay in other words. In Fernhill I define each tag as an internal relay. The "device" from my simplified understanding is the identity of the variable in the PLC. It matches the PLC and Fernhill as shown in the pictures provided. Thanks in advance! PS. I don't get the error if I define the tags as Data Registers instead like I did for the analog variable. But 1) That is not what they are and 2) The tags don't change when the PLC variable is modified. Just a bit suspicious that it stops complaining when it is clearly incorrect...
  13. Hi looking for a little help,  I have an old HMI from Maple Systems that I need to program, it's a BLU300M-002 from Blue Series.

  14. Proficy iFix 5.8 SCADAs crashing

    So, our plant has Proficy iFix 5.8 running on a handful of Windows 7 VM's, which, form my understanding, are running 24/7. However, since before a got here, they have had an issue where iFix will crash usually every couple of months, leading to screens and panels not looking right and freaking out everyone at the plant, and we reboot the VM. Apparently, we have always tried to reboot them every 3 months or so. Long story short, this is a difficult thing to organize at our plant. I would prefer to know why this is happening in the first place and try to fix that problem if possible. I was wondering if anyone else has experience this type of issue or may have any idea why this happens or if this is normal. I can barely find anything useful pertaining to iFix, online. I have attached a pic of what I see in Windows event viewer before rebooting the VMs. This is what mostly caught my attention: Faulting application name: CONMGR.EXE, version: 5.8.8255.0, time stamp: 0x5240ee18 Faulting module name: MSVCR100.dll, version: 10.0.40219.325, time stamp: 0x4df2be1e I haven't been able to find anything concerning Connection Manager either. Any information is appreciated.
  15. Good morning I have a problem with communication with a Yaskawa inverter, specifically GA500. The device communicates via the EtherCat network. Communication works, but when I want to change my PDO, I have a problem as shown in the screenshot in attachment. The problem occurs when I add the "Operation Command" variable. I have no idea what the problem is. I did not find a library on the Omron website that could support this inverter. thank you in advance for your help.

  19. Hi, I'm working on a projects where i need the button text to be dynamic.(assigned by a string variable) i have not been able to figure out how to accomplish this easily. I made a workaround with placing a label over the button and have the label refer to a string, but it would be soo much easier and smoother to just have the button text assigned a variable. I would think i could access the the text field through code ,like: Btn_1.Text=My_Btn_String_1, but have had no luck with this. Would Greatly appreciate any help. Thanks, Frank.  
  20. In the last update of Sysmac Studio (1.55) I would like to turn off the feature, see image. Can you help me?
  21. Hi All, I'm looking to setup communications between a digital force gauge and an Omron NX-CIF1010 RS232 serial communication interface.  Here is the Output Protocol from the Force Gauges Manual: Output Protocol RS-232 Parameter - Baudrate: 9600 - Data-Bit: 8 - Parity: none - Stop-bit: 1 The measured value is requested by the PC by the ASCII Sign “9”. I've tried to follow the youtube video, "How to communicate via RS 232 using an NX CIF to a PC" however setting up communication between the force gauge instead of a PC is proving difficult. How to communicate via RS 232 using an NX CIF to a PC - YouTube This is quite new to me so I'm trying to get my head around it at the moment so please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm reading values from the Force gauge in ASCII and I need to convert those values into another numerical value data type. I've seen in CX-Programmer, ASCII values being converted into Floating Point values using the "FVAL" instruction using Data registers however I can't use the same approach in Sysmac Studio. Do I need to clear the serial buffer everytime before I look to receive a numerical value from the force gauge? Here are details regarding the screenshots I've included below: 1) CIF101 Parameters to read Force Gauge Output Protcol in Sysmac Studio which should be matching the force gauges output protocol. 2) CIF101 IO Map in Sysmac Studio - ** I'm unsure if this is where I need to be linking the "RcvDat" input of the "NX_SerialRcv" function block? 3) CIF101 Sending Data Function Block - "NX_SerialBufClear" function block setup - "port_id" data type has been changed to "_sDevice_Port". 4) CIF101 Receiving Data Function Block - "NX_SerialRcv" function block setup 5) Global Variable - Array [0..3] OF BYTE - used in "RcvDat" input of "NX_SerialRcv" function block  6) Internal Variables Created  to send and receive data 7) Force Gauge RS232 Configuration 8) Force Gauge Output Protocol   Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  22. Hello everyone, I'm facing an issue while trying to go online with a PLC. The firmware revision of the controller is 34.011, but the offline project I have is showing a firmware revision of 33.xx. Due to this mismatch, I'm unable to establish a connection. I'm relatively new to this company and recently learned that the program on my computer may have been modified by a contractor company, which might explain the version difference. I suspect they may have used a higher version of RsLogix when making the changes. I'm looking for guidance on how to proceed in this situation. Is there a way to update the offline project's firmware revision to match the controller's firmware revision? Or is there another solution to resolve this compatibility issue? Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
  23. Does anyone know how to delete the row labeled as, "63 - station number" and "Driver - Host Name". Our IPs range from .50 - .90, I would like to associate the station with an IP that correlates to one another.     For example, Station 50 = xx.xxx.x.50, Station 51 = xx.xxx.x.51, etc However, when I go to add a station 63. I get the error dialog that tells me 63 can not be added because it already exist. I have had this problem in the past, but never got around to wanting to figure out how to solve it.    ** Jumped the gun ** (modified)  You can rename 63 to whatever number you choose it to be....  
  24. I recently had surgery on my arm. I'm in a cast from finger tips to shoulder.  I have a major Logix 5000 program to write. Has anyone used Win10 Speech Recognition to operate Studio 5000? I tried today and it didn't work out well! Any suggestions?
  25. Omron plc to Citect Scada communication

    Hi Guys, I need some suggestion & solution regarding my recent project. The CQM1H plc which was used earlier is burnt and I am replacing it with CJ2M series Omron plc. Program transfer is possible from CQM1H to CJ2M. But the main issue is the system is controlled by Citect SCADA version 5.50 pack C. The communication of plc and Scada is through 2wire twisted pair cable. I just wanted to know when I replace the plc and convert the program do I have to change any settings or parameters in Scada? If I keep the same previous plc parameter in new plc and check the tags correctly in new plc as per old plc then the new system will communicate with Scada? I am new to citect scada so please provide your support and help.
