  1. Dear automation friends,   I just like to put some issue in the clear that I have seen no reported issues on yet, but it is killing me. Maybe some other people in the world also have this issue. We use Windows 2016 on FT View v10. All patched with all compatible patches (both Windows and Rockwell). We install this software a lot but we only got this issue seen/reported on windows 2016. I never had a Rockwell issue that took so long without getting it fixed. Support is also not really helping.   We just have a setup of Windows 2016 with 2x redundant FT View Servers and about 10x Clients with each 4x screens. The HMI clients run perfectly but every few days, 1 application (on 1 of the 4 screens) just crashes "DisplayClient.exe application crash...". That closes the HMI interface and then the users needs to click on the hmi.cli file to launch that screen again. Refering to ntdll.dll in the windows events. No additional info except for the windows error reporting that is unable to contact the internet to send the crash report. Looking in the FT Diagnostics, it happens while the operator is operating the hmi screen. Not when there is no activity.   We reinstalled 1 client completely from scratch, including the OS, domain integration, everything brandnew. And 10 hours later: crash on 1 of the 4x screens. In a control room with almost 30 screens, this is very annoying and unacceptable.   If you have a similar issue or got the issue fixed, please let me know. If you have a similar issue and don't have it fixed, we can share more detailed logs.   Best Regards,
  2. Dear Team,   We are looking for a suggestion to drive a motor which is away about 2100 Meter from its starter. The Pump is located in a pond in the forest which is 2000 Meters away from the nearest building. The pump capacity is 55kW and we are considering 55kW HD VFD as a starter. As we see the distance is much higher we are looking for you valuable suggestion about how this thing is gonna work without any abnormalities.

  5. Ok I'll try a different angle of attack. I have acquired an S7-1212c unit. It is just too new for my TIA portal, which is V 15.1 The new PLC I have has firmwear 4.5 the TIA portal I have only supports 4.3, I get some errors regarding synconization etc. and it's like there are some tins that don't work. how do I update the TIA portal to the correct firmware I've tried updating the HSP files but it doesn't change anything https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/document/54163658/how-do-you-update-the-hardware-catalog-in-tia-portal-?dti=0&lc=en-DE
  6. hi, I'm trying to find out what kind of HMI panels can be used for a LOGO!8 ethernet plc. are panels from simens that can be used... they are a bit expensive  
  7. Hello Guys! I have a problem what I can't really solve. In factory talk view (10.0) I wanna use a momentary push button. When I start the project, and I click on it nothing happening, the button activate only when I release it. Its like there is an OSF instruction inside.  I want the button activate until I push. May I use a wrong button ? Could you guy please help me with this? Thanks ahead.
  8. Hello, I'm a little experienced, a little new with (I hope) a fairly beginner question. I've got a customer that has a pre-existing HMI running a Factorytalk View SE - Network program.  The customer would like to make some changes to the HMI, and I feel pretty confident that I could do this; the only problem is I'm having difficulty connecting to their system and downloading a version of the program that I can edit. Almost every How to video and instructional PDF that I can find appears to start from the premise that I created the program and have an existing copy on my computer or am starting from scratch, but that is not the case.  I know the IP address of the Networked PC that is running the HMI and can ping it etc, but I do not know how to connect to it.  I even have a copy of almost all of the files that the PC is running from the customer, but do not have a file that I can open in FTView to edit or change then download; I think I'm missing the .cli file or somesuch? Do I have to be directly logged on to the PC or can I be on my programming laptop and connect via Ethernet->switch->PC (I think I need FactoryTalk Linx for that, which I have a licensed copy of)?  I know that Machine Edition requires a .mer file to be able to open and edit an HMI program, is the network edition the same? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
  9. Hello, has anyone had success in creating a wedge with borders that change due to its assigned tags? Attempting to create a range on a gauge using wedge, but am unsure how to approach this considering it wouldn't be rotating the wedge around a point but rather changing the size of the wedge. 
  10. Dear Experts We have a machine with Allen Bradley Micrologix 1400 PLC, Panel View C400 Request to share communicating software and cable details please  Regards
  11. Hi there! This is my first time using Rockwell automation software and I have some questions I can't answer. When I'm running the FactoryTalk runtime application with a simulated controller, I get disconnected from Logix Designer, so I can't online watch the program. If I try to simulate using 'Test Application' in FactoryTalk View Studio, it appears to communicate, but buttons don't make any effect when pressed.   Hope you can throw some light on it! Thanks in advance!  
  12. Hi from Colorado, Panel Builders @ MRPLC~ I bought a custom 508A assembly from a UL shop (277/480v 3 phase). The prototype didn't work out very well so I'm revising the design for next time. Before I present my "red line" revisions to the fabricator, could someone advise if I'm OK to simplify part of the work in a particular way? I just need to make sure my simplification doesn't run afoul of the 508A standard. My clients requested that a ten watt 120vAC amber LED (distant from the 508A cabinet) should light up whenever the 3 phase bus is energized. The panel fabricator provided an SSR solid state relay to close whenever 277v shows up across the "input" terminals & they fused the 277v hot for the input so that's all good. The "output" terminal is "single pole normally open", rated for 10 amps. The power that I'm sending in from outside the cabinet is from a small UPS system where the inverter is rated for 250VA's--so it can't deliver more than two amps @ 120vAC.  It seems to me that I don't need the series fuse that the shop provided to protect the 10 amp rating on the SSR--since my input power is already current limited. It also seems that I don't need to bring the associated single phase neutral wire into the 508A cabinet at all--since the neutral is never switched & it's doing nothing inside the 3 ph. assembly. If I revise the drawings along these lines, I'll eliminate two terminal blocks, a cc fuse/fuse holder & some wire...and this part of the assembly will be simpler & more intuitive.  Basically, I want to treat the SSR like a switch leg for the light, running only a 120v hot wire to & from the SSR output terminals. I don't want to revise the drawings, however, unless I'm sure the fabricator won't have to change them back to comply with UL 508A. I don't own the UL "standard" document & I don't know the peculiarities...but I'm sure some of the forum members do.  Should I add signage to explain that the 120v hot must be current limited or OCPD protected before it enters the 3 phase cabinet? Thanks in advance for any coaching or suggestions.      
  13. Hello there, I am new to the forum and had a question regarding a setting in Sysmac Studio.   In the Basic Settings for my NJ301 there is a setting on this particular line that is set differently than the other lines I have worked on. This setting is called "System service execution time ratio". On all the other lines I have worked on it was set to 10%, on this line it's 25%. This line also seems to have the most issues with controller performance out of all the lines I have worked on despite having less complexity. I was wondering if anyone knew what this setting actually does and if it should be changed.   Thank you.  
  14. control panel for sale

    Hi all, Hope everyone is doing well. I'm currently in the process of starting a home based control panel shop. I have about 8 years of control panel building experience and about 2-3 years of being shop team lead/design engineering. I have been planning this for years and now I have my shop full of necessary tools and material to build small/medium sized panels. I have gone through all the training and examination(which was not easy) to be able to produce UL508A approved panels. My goal is to produce a steady work load with great quality. Now I just need an opportunity with customers which I find to be the hard part. I have been contacting local industries but haven't had any luck. If anyone out there is seeking control panels built at a good competitive rate please advice.

  16. Hi all, I'm not shure if I saw it once, a Spanish site with a rugged I/O shield for an arduino plus a software package to build an Arduino-PLC packet. It was pretty much $$$ raised... (on my oppinion, for my application, not to dispretiate their value). Has anyone thought of it or knows of such an ensemble: A general Arduino board, a general kind of "plc-shield" (some inputs, some outputs,...) and finally, a (preferably open-source) software package to make an off-the-shelf Arduino-PLC ish? Maybe it all exists with some name changes, or this question is of a huge ammount of ignorance. Thanks. Corvo (means Raven) 
  17. Hi! I hope you could help me with the problem I've been having with this HMI. Usually I use the Instruction-based alarms (ALMD) in the program of my PLC Controller (ControlLogix 5580) to be able to send Alarm Messages to my View Designer Panel View. However, on this new HMI I'm getting the alarm trigger on the Panelview (I get the prompt on the Alarm Summary, and get the Alarm TAG of the ALMD Instruction associated with the alarm), but for some reason the Alarm Message is on blank. It´s the same for all the alarms on the controller. I checked again and the "Message" parameter of the ALMD is configurated, and even test just typing "a" as an Alarm Message to see if it was that the string was too long, but even with that the message didn't show up. Can you help me understand what I'm doing wrong?

  19. GX Works3 Projectlib Locked

    Hello, I have a problem that I need to solve in a PLC program has it's projectlib locked.  I work for a company that contracted a PLC programmer before my time to program their new version of their control cabinets. The company did not write any specific contract with the contractor and just relied on his work. The guy later delevered a buggy software that is kind of functional (the bugs came up at the commissioning after the guy was paid and now he refuses to help or to provide more consultations). I have as a task to freshen this up and make it work without bugs, the problem is that the Projectlib is locked and I cannot access the source code.  The only thing that I can changes that I can make to the code is to put some logical circuits between the I/O of the already existing function blocks, which solved some problems, but not all and it keeps one of the most important ones as well. Anyways, that's my story, so now my question is, is there and possible way of unlocking the projectlib? Any feedback would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advace!

  23. Unable to delete a screen

    Hello AB professionals, I am using FactoryTalk View Studio v11. I am basing on an old project to build my application. I restored the project from a .mer file. I deleted or renamed some old screens, saved and closed the project. But when I open the project next time the screens I deleted still show up. When I click on it it will show an error message "Component does not exist".  In the FactoryTalk ME application, I right click a screen name on the left tree under the Graphics, and then click "Delete" or "Remove", the display would disappear at that time. But it persists on coming back next time I open the project. If you know the solution to resolve please reply. It is much appreciated.   Thank you. Lei
