  1. Easy way to import a PAC program?

    junkyardgary posted a topic in GE

     My colleague sent me a few  PAC programs via email, my PAC/ME V10 software has the "FILE/OPEN PROJECT" greyed out. How do I pull this into my PAC/ME? I do not know where Emerson keeps it programs internally, this is a network/server set up -we do not store programs on the laptop much. Am I missing some easy way to open programs from a desktop/USB source?
  2. Good day everybody!    I am having issues troubleshooting a machine which is controlled by a VIPA PLC. I must admit that I am not very knowledgeable with this brand so I am a bit hesitant to touch anything. From the machine's supplier I got a .wld file which I could load into an SD card and load into the VIPA PLC itself through a Master Reset procedure. Still, our issue persists so I was wondering if I could somehow extract this .wld file into Speed7 Studio (or another program) to visualize it and try to troubleshoot the issue. Or in another case, if there was a way to directly read the currently loaded program from the PLC.    As I said, I had never worked with this brand before so I am being a little overly cautious with what I touch in this PLC.    Thanks for your help! 
  3. I am working with iQ-R PLC projects, and a lot of documentation is involved. I am trying to find a way to automate that, but I don't know how to get information out of the PLC project file in a way that I can parse and use to create the documentation. (Like tags, UDTs, AOIs, etc..). I was thinking they'd have something comparable to how with Allen-Bradley PLCs you can export to an xml file, but I have found nothing like that. Initially I just want to export to get info out of the project, but it would be nice to also be able to import to a project so I could programmatically create PLC projects. From what I've found, apparently EZSocket is MELCO's collection of APIs for stuff like this (That description could be wrong), but I've been unable to find actual documentation that would help in using it for this.   Thanks,   Joshua
  4. I'm a young Controls Engineer at an integration company, and I need assistance.   I have a client that has about 330 different alphanumeric product numbers broken down by length and width. The operator must be able to select the product number at the HMI to pass along to the robot we are integrating. Is there a way to be able to have the operator select the product number simply, without having to scroll over 300 items in a single control list. The HMI is not chosen yet, so it can be GE, Rockwell/AB, or Automation Direct, but we are using a AB ControlLogix Processor. Racking my brain and I have little VBA/Scripting experience.
  5. Hi all, I've ran into an unusual situation where I could use some suggestions.  I have an AB PLC working in the field, and an existing fixture that needs to be transferred from an Omron PLC into our AB.  I have an integrator who did some offline development with a welder that uses Anybus communication.  He sent a .ACD file to implement the logic from.  The file has an Ethernet module configured but more importantly, it's showing EDS not registered.  I've asked for the EDS he used, and none of them work when trying to register it via right-click and register.  I can export the module, but it won't import into the current PLC program because there's no EDS (shows EDS error after the import).  If I try to take the program that was sent to me online with the PLC, it will automatically upload and overwrite the build.  I can't even open the properties of the module to see what the integrator did. The end goal is to have the offline developed module implemented into the current program, but it seems like everything I've tried to do has me against a wall.  Is there a way to go online without uploading?  Maybe there's a way to implement this I haven't learned yet?  Any suggestions would be much appreciated, and if more information is needed, I'll be glad to provide it.

  6. I need to use the usb port from NA HMI to import and export a variable from NX102 to a CSV file. Anyone with a code solution for this? Thank you   
  7. This is my first time to the forum and I am still very new to plc programming. I just had to move all of our software over to a new computer ( kind of new) it's running windows 7 pro. The same is as the computer before. Same computer name, same I'm, same file directory. However when I add tags in studio 5000 and reference them in the HMI, it says it is unresolved in route to the processor. It only does this for the new tags. I used the same shortcut and everything so I am at a complete loss here. What do I do.
  8. Hi all Does anyone know how or the Tool to use for Exporting Variables from Unity Pro so I can remove the Register base Addressing for Various Tags and insert Direct Addressing I/O to the Alias Of Attribute for those Variables? This then to be Imported back into the project with the New Aliasing in affect. I have spoken to Tech Support and they say there is a tool (Excel Add On) that comes with V11 in a directory called Extras. I cant find the directory lol. He is coming back to me about the tool but could not tell me if this tool will help with the Aliasing I need to do. Thanks in advance for any help or ideas on this.
  9. Please Let me know How to import tags from an Excel file into my PLc programs . the tags has been generated by a guy who does the HMI wonder ware !! Pleassssseeeeeeee.
