  1. Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing very great, I'm new to Schneider PLCs and I have a project that I need to work on, so I will need your help with the following issues: *) How can one determine which Schneider PLC series is used if you only have a fuzzy picture of the PLC ?  *) I need to setup a historic of alarms, I have 13 PLCs, no connexion between them... I was thinking about creating a connexion between those PLCs and a database, so I need your help to determine a list of ALL the materials i will need (from cables to servers to a computer if necessary...) and some documentation on how that can be done... Thank you so much for helping me, Best regards

  2. Modbus TCP Data Logging to Database

    gclshortt posted a topic in HMI & SCADA

    Here is a recent post that I would like to share. Using Visual Basic 2015 we will log three holding registers from the PLC along with time and date into a Microsoft Access Database. We will log every minute into the database with the information that we collect from the PLC via Modbus TCP (Ethernet). All code will be done and shown so you can implement this in your application with different parameters. The information collected in the database can then be distributed or analyzed in the future. Visual Basic 2015 will be used with the EasyModbusTCP client/server library for .net. We will communicate to an Automation Direct – Do-More PLC. Using the free simulation software of the PLC Designer Software, we will retrieve three values of the Modbus Holding Registers using Modbus TCP. Once we have this information out of the programmable logic controller it will be placed in a Microsoft Access (2010) Database. This will be done by using a SQL command to insert the data. Read the rest of the post... Let me know what you think, Thank you Garry http://accautomation.ca/
  3. Hello all, I was asked to check if there is a PID real - time software which automatically calculates PID loops parameters and update the PLC registers or HMI ( by OPC server etc.) when the process is working and "breathing". REAL-TIME. Not PID simulator or PID tuner based on measured data, but a software that will calculate and update the PID parameters in real time while maintaning several PID loops simultaneously. Are there any suggestions? Thank you, Olesia
  4.   Dear, I need some help with an application in ml1500 with the RTC . I need an exit is enabled by days of the week . I´m programming in Rslogix500. Program follows the image. If possible help me. Thanks Daniel.
  5. Have looked on this forum and found NO hint of a solution. I hope someone can provide me with a starting point. I have a Allen Bradley Micro830 & Connected Component Workbench that I use to SMS text message out the value of an Analog sensor. The value is a real number data type so it holds a number like this 123.32659+e. All I want to do is to "Truncate" so that the value ends up being like this 123.32 this would then be what sms receiver would see as the value. Thanks
  6. In my present project, I have to interface an energy meter that has its kWh count in 64 bit Double format. Now that Vijeo citect hasn't a facility to create tags of the "double' type I am looking for a work-around to this problem. Thanks for any help/advise in this matter
  7. Good day, I´m helping with small project and currently i am stuck because of this problem. And I hope you can help me out. I´m using PowerFlex 525 connected with AB CompactLogix 1769-33ER PLC via EtherNet/IP. Connection is working, I can read and write values from/to 525. To configure both devices i´m using RSLogix 5000. 1) First problem occurs after I loaded configuration to 525 and it´s, that 525 keeps overwriting values of Accel and Decel Time 1. It happens when i directly change parameters in Module Properties (online) or after I upload configuration to device. It happens even if i set parameters directly to 525 with its HMI panel. - I kinda get around this problem when i use Accel/Decel Time 2 for Step logic, but if i send direct reference value motor still jump to it and that is not good, especially when changing direction of rotation. 2) Second problem is that I cant get Speed Sources and Start References right. Usually Is working only option 1 and others are not, or they are doing something else that they should. For better imagination this is what i want to do: I have 3-state switch (left = 1 ON(DigIn TrmBlk 02), 2 OFF; center = 1 OFF, 2 OFF; right = 1 OFF, 2 ON(DigIn TrmBlk 03)), In center position I want to control 525 with EtherNet (already working when: Start 1 AND Speed 1 = EtherNet/IP). In left position I want to control motor directly with Drive Pot and In left position a want to start Step Logic (which i have already set) - Funny thing, If I set Start 1 = Ethernet, Speed 1 = Step, Start 2,3 = DigIn, Speed 2,3 = Drive Pot then in all three position motor goes in Step logic.. Or when i get left and right position working then Ethernet is blocked.. and this kind of things.. I Attach print-screen of my current settings, if you need something more just, tell me. Thank you for your time, and I hope someone will be able to help me.
  8. I am currently trying to get my program to take distance traveled per pulse, which is based off of the diameter, and convert it into IPM. I am using RS Logic 5000 software. If anyone could help me get over this hump I would really appreciate it!

  9. ix Developer - setBit scripting

    henriks posted a topic in Mitsubishi

    Greetings! Im trying to script a "MouseEnter" to setbit when enterring a circle dynamic. I have now 15 circle dynamics who I want to place all as bits in an Int16 memory. I have made an example, but I think I'm missing something important since it wont work. See attachement for code example. In the example, tag name is V_1 (int16). Thanks in advance for support. Best Regards Henrik
  10. Can any one help? I am trying to write logic to collect data off a Control Logic controler using V.20.03 Logix5000 software. Attached is a copy of Time and Date logic. I there an easier way?
  11. Hello all, I am experiencing an unusual (and what appears to be an unheard of) behavior in my CompactLogix L18ER controller. I am setting the date/time of the controller from my work station, however when I GSV WallClockTime, it is reporting 4 hours different. I have asked our local resources as well as done some forum and knowledgebase searching without result. Has anyone encountered this before? Attached is a screenshot of the controller time vs. the wall clock time. This isn't mission critical since it can be manually adjusted however I would like to understand what is taking place that would cause this behavior. Thanks!
  12. http://accautomation.ca/now-you-can-have-robust-data-logging-for-free-part-1/ YouTube overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Xa2HYVOxE0 Robust PLC Data LoggerWith traditional loggers, software will read the memory of the PLC and store in a local computer. If the network stops or the PLC communication fails then the logging will stop.Creating a robust PLC data logger allows the communication to be stopped for a period of time without losing any of the data for collection. This is accomplished by storing the data locally on the PLC until communication is restored. All of the data is then read without loss. The amount of time that the connection can be lost will be dependent on the memory size of the PLC and the frequency of the data collected.This series will walk you through the steps to create and implement a robust PLC data logger using the following equipment and hardware.
