We have a Panelview Plus 600. One of our panels is labeled "Motor Control," in charge of turning on/off different pumps. The problem is while the system is running, clicking the on/off button will not turn any pump off. When the system is shut down, the pumps can be turned on and off but not when the system is running. I'm trying to shut off one pump without shutting the whole line down. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Hello to all! Kindly provide me 1-Download link for RS logix 5000 v7.2 .i have a program which is designed in old version of Rs logix 5000 and i m unable to open it on v20.0 2- ControlLogix 5550 1756-L1 controller Serial Cable pinout [plc to pc]-Programming cable Thanks

Hello I tried to go online with MicroLogix 1200 through "1761-CBL-PM02 Series C" serial cable. I read its manual and it says i can use the cable to go online. I got these errors and i attached them. Can someone tell me why i am getting this error? Thanks for reading and have a good day !

Hello, The company that I work for wanted me to design and build a FIFO loader. For those who do not know what a FIFO loader is, it's basically a lift that runs up and down and filling up the magazine slots with pcb's. After I finish the mechanical part i'll try to program it by using a CPM2C - 20. I have already played with CX-programmer and learned my self a bit, for example how to program simple things such as AND and OR gates for controlling motors and lights. Really hard part for me was figuring out how to create a program that reads data from the encoder and use it to create positions which the motor will stop at, and i have not yet figured it out. I've been trying to google it without any luck, the only thing of real info i've got is a 650 page long pdf file or CX-Programmer manual which is hard for me to read since i'm new to all of this. Would be great if any of you people got any source or maybe a manual which are easy to understand for new beginner like myself. A bit about the program i would like to make: The FIFO loader will have some buttons for selecting different programs, lets say you press first button to select "program 1". Then the machine should move up and stop at posision "50" (there are 50 slots on PCB magazine) after it gets signal from pneumatic actuator (which will be used to shove pcb inside the slot) its should move to position "49" and so on.. If FIFO loader is located at "home" position and you press second button to choose "program 2", then it will move to slot "49", wait until it gets loaded, and continue to slot "47" and so on.. The meaning of this is to make a loader which can select a program to fit pcb's with different size of components.

panelview550 error 31 and also not communicating with rslinx and panelbuilder32.whats the pinout diagram of pv550 to rslinx and communication process.i apologize for my bad english beacuse its not my native language. 

Hi, Um new to plc and at the beggining i bought a Twido TWDLCAA24DRF old one without the cable.I want to know if any rs485 to usb cable is possible to programme this plc? please someone help me   is this cable is possible?

 I  am doing  a data collection from  OMRON PLC CP1L through MS excel VBA  use API function. The connection was setuped correct (I think)both in PLC and PC side. The trick things is   when PLC have USB cable connected  the data  was send to PLC and can get feedback through RS232 in normal.(I use portmon moniter the progress,and I can see the data (C-command ).But when I get the USB cable removed  ,The PLC can not get any reponse back.Dose any of you have met that  before?

Can anybody help me with the pinout diagram of 1762-IQ32T with 1492 I have seen the manual but it doesn't exactly tell which should be the first input and which should be the second 

Hello, I am trying to connect an OMRON CMP1-30CDR-A-V1 to my PC. I used a CQM1-CIF02 cable which I connected to RS232-USB converter and then to my laptop. Is this the right way to do it? I have seen on the OMRON website the attached diagram. Should we use that device or an RS232-USB converter will be enough? Also. I tired to use a PC with RS232 port directly but it also failed. Regards,  

Please suggest me about these issues: Issue: No Rotation 1.     The motor links are slack or release. 2.     Distant issue is stuck in the glide. 3.     The motor load is extreme. 4.     The bearing are shabby. Issue: Overheating 1.     The rotor is in part demagnetizing cause extreme motor present. 2.     Motor voltage is exceeding the highest value. 3.     The duty cycle is extreme.  

Hello, I am Er. Nirav M. Madhvani Can you please me tell me about How Stepper Motor Controlling using Allen Bradley PLC Micro logix 1000 and also tell me about Which Instruction I can used in this topic and also tell me about how speed Vary and Pulse vary ?

Hello, I am not sure if this topic is too far from what the forum concerns, but any advice is greatly appreciated including reference to other reference. I want to know if any induction motor has internal encoder equipped. We are using servo motors, and additionally an encoder for position check. Because the position control resolution requirement is about 1 degree, I am thinking about abandoning servo motor, and to use induction instead. Servo motor has internal encoders for outputting pulse information. And I wonder, if there are induction motors with internal encoders. Thanks in advance. Ting

Hello. This is the first time I use Ethernet in PLCs. I want to connect a Compactlogix L24 with remote I/Os and Panelview. I have many questions . But can you help me select the type of cable for this application , 2 or 4 pairs? shielded or unshielded?

I wonder if anyone can recommend cable id printer? I know Brady is the leader in this field and I have used their products in the past but I wonder if anyone has used any other manufacturer they can comment on? I found the K-Sun Green Machine but I am not sure how does it compare to lets say Brady BMP71 and how much more expensive or cheaper their consumables are? Any other products worth mentioning?

We are currently using a SureStep STP-DRV-4850 stepper drive from Automation Direct with their bipolar STPMTR23079D Stepper motor rated at 1.1 ohm, 2.8 amp per phase and 1.8 degree per step. The setup is a 24 volt rotary encoder 600 PPR AB quad that is turned 1 revolution per 6” of measured travel of the machine. We have a large “clock” dial that shows 24” of travel that the stepper motor directly turns. It has been programmed for 9600 pulse per revolution AB quadrature following and seems to follow the movement quite well. The issue that we having is several times a day the power is shut off to the machine and the stepper upon startup moves to the closest full step which looks to be about 3/8”. We need to save its location or at least keep the dial close to its current mircostep if possible. Do I have something set-up wrong? Should I be using a different drive? Thanks in advance!

I am using Allen Bradley PLC CPU 1769-L35E, MODULE 1769-****. What Cable lugs can you recommend for me to use? Are there any particular Manufacturer that can you suggest? I don't want to use Fork type. Maybe tubular or compression lugs. Klauke is kinda big. Thank you!

Hi there! I have CS1G-CPU42-V1 PLC and I have Cx_programmer V6. I want to connect the PLC/Program to my personal computer. So what type of cable should I use? Is this the type to be used? Does it normally comes with a cd driver? And do I have to identify the ports so my computer knows which input it is? << example photo only Please help me, experts. Thank you!
