Hi I have a big issue with machine user access using loggin and password. There are different levels of login (operator, maintenance and admin) locked with physical key or password. The problem is that whenever any other user sees the password or got the key he can use it later. Is there another efficient way to lock the access and may be record who is logged when and how? Thanks

Hi all, Can someone please help me, I am using a Micro830 Controller running connected components workbench software to program the controller. I want the use the Real Time Clock of the controller to control an output to turn on everyday at 01:30am and turn of when it receives a signal from an input. The output will control a backwash valve that will operate and activate a cam switch internally that sends a signal back to the Controller to say the valve has operated and can now stop sending the signal to the valve. (if that makes sense). I have tried playing around with the RTC instructions but I cannot seem to get it to operate how I want it to. Any help would be much appreciated. EnvrioService

Wanting to learn computer programming/data collections for industrial applications
Matt47715 posted a topic in Computer Help and Networking
Hi, I work as an industrial programmer primarily dealing with Allen Bradley, Mitsubishi, and Omron PLC's as well as various peripheral devices. I would like to begin the process of learning computer programming as it pertains to the manufacturing industry. I'd like to learn how to write databases (SQL, etc) and VB apps and eventually I'd like to be able to write applications that can communicate with PLC's and other devices (although the last one would be a ways down the road). I have very little experience with computer programming so I don't really know where to start. What language should I learn first? What free software is available to learn with? What resources do you recommend I use? I've downloaded Visual Basic Express and found some introductory courses online that I've just started but if there is something else I should've started with I'm open to suggestions. Thanks -
Hello Dear friends, I have following two problems in RSLogix 5000. I just started working with this software. I am using RSLogix 5000 for my project and I want to use inbuilt drag and drop elements like measuring instruments for example Voltmeter etc. in my ladder diagram. Does it possible or do I need to add some libraries or add ons for that? I want to plot graph of different properties with respect to time in RSLogix 5000. my question is again the same; what is the way to do it or do I need extra Add ons? Thank you in advance for your help :) Merry Christmas!!

I would like to bring up a topic that I've been been bouncing around in my head for the past few months. I make a living as an industrial programmer, sequencing using PLCs, dealing with drives, networking, controlling heavy machinery. All the hardware we use are from established companies like Allen Bradly, Sick, Cognex, Delta, ABB, etc... big $$$, you pay for the software, pay for the hardware and pay for the support. It's not uncommon for a large control system to cost $50k+ (hardware only) By night I'm just your regular maker. Programming AVR series uC, ARM series, playing with various open source hardware Arduino, RPI, Teensy, 3D printers, designing PCBs, stepper motors... whatever I can get my hands on. Both worlds are the same... but completely different, and there is ZERO overlap. I'm interested in why other people think this is, I'm sure that makers don't get into the industrial stuff because the price point. I'm not going to pay 8k for a AB Logix rack... are you kidding me? but vice versa? is the lack of support really all that daunting? I find OS stuff to be way more powerful, understanding something from the bare metal is the most amazing feeling, and being able to modify it to your needs is even better. Digging into somethings source is without an argument the most flexible platform to build on, and knowing the board level schematic for a chuck of hardware opens up a world of opportunities... Then lies the ethical dilemma... If I was to profit off other people's work, does this make me a bad person? What if I push the changes back into the development (which frankly I have no problem doing) I would love to head other people's opinions...

Hi there! I`m a PLC programmer from Romania and i work in automotive industry. I know to program in Step 7 and in Codesys. I`ve been working with S7-300 from Siemens and Wago 750-881. I am also designing the electrical drawing for my project in a software called WSCAD. I am trying to leave abroad because i have a low salary here and i am wasting my knowledge. Can anyone give me an advice or help me with finding a normal paying job in plc programming? Thank you very much in advance and have a really nice day!

Bridging the gap between PLC and Smartphone
hboyer90 posted a topic in Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation
Hey all, I've been trying to figure out a way to bridge the gap between my smartphone and my PLC. Both are capable of such amazing things and I want to bring them together. I know other's are already doing this, but I'm wondering if there is a way that i can do this without purchasing their products and using what I already have. What I have: Micrologix1000 PLC and a MicroLogix1100 PLC, a laptop, a Samsung Galaxy S5 Objective: To be able to control outputs in my home using my phone. I know there has to be a way. I want to be able to control lights in my home using my phone. Wire an extension cord to the output of my PLC, have that plug into a lamp, keep the switch on the lamp turned on all of the time, only turn on that output when I want to. Obviously I could control that output in a number of ways. If I had an HMI, at a certain time of the day have the lights turn on or off, ect. But I want to bridge that gap and use my mobile phone as the input/hmi that controls the output of that lamp. Is there an easy/way of doing this without buying an expensive 'Hue' lighting system? I've got to think so. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I see that Siemens and a few other PLCs have mobile applications, but I see nothing for Android. Just want to get all of your opinion. Thanks Howard -
Hello all I have an Allen Bradley industrial PC, Part number 6182-AGAZZC First of all, has anyone got a copy of the CD with the OS on [it runs on Windows CE 3.0] I need to reinstall the OS but i cant find the CD with it on, tried contacting AB but so far i've had no luck Secondly, I've been asked if i can copy the program off one 6182 onto another [the old one has a bad screen and some comms faults, so i've been asked copy the files to a new working unit] I tried using a pcmcia card but it doesnt copy over all the files for the program, and i dont have the pc with which the program was made originally Is it possible to copy the program over via pcmcia, or copying the DOC, or anything?
