  1. Hello, I am creating a system where I need to implement a PDF report creator (basic information like “15” tags and at most an image). We may be using an Optix/PanelView or the FactoryTalk HMI. What is the best approach to this? Would a PLC be capable of this? If so, would it need a specific slice? If not, could I do this through the HMI or would I need to create a script that runs in the background on the PC?

  3. Hello! First time poster!I am trying to access a PDF file on the removeable SD on the back of the panelview (Storage Card2) and get an error using ActiveX Controls;"There was an error opening this document. Sharing Violation!"The HMI is a 2711P-RDT15C I have called Rockwell support, as well as used various articles from the RA DB and still nothing. Things I have tried: - Reading from various storage cards and USB devices - Reading from my documents - Various syntaxes: "\Storage Card2\M1.pdf" "Storage Card2\M1.pdf" "Storage Card2/M1.pdf" Many others as well w changes in slashes, spaces, etc - Power cycling between failed reads FoxItReader CAN open. The file CAN also be selected and opened by browsing the OS on the PV - both on the storage card and when moved into my documents. The current parameters for the ActiveX program launcher are: Program location: "foxitreader.exe" Program Parameters: "Storage Card2\M1.pdf" If anybody has any insight into this issue it would be greatly appreciated.
  4. Hi everyone! I am attempting to read EIP tags from an Allen-Bradley ControlLogix from an Omron NX1P2 using the Sysmac Studio function block "CIPUCMMRead." I have been successful in reading arrays and single variables no problem. However, when I want to read arrays from a structure in the Allen-Bradley PLC, I always get an error code in the CIPUCMMRead ErrorID of either 0400 or 1C00 for ErrorID and ErrorIDEx is FF00 2105 depending on what I enter in for Size on the function block (attaching screenshots with both error codes). The errors show on multiple "read" function blocks at once but it only affects data coming out of the function block where I try to read in a BOOL array from a structure in the ControlLogix PLC. If I enter a UINT#1 for the Size, I get ErrorID 0400. If I enter UINT#2, 3, or 4, I get ErrorID 1C00 with ErrorIDEx being FF00 2105. I've been digging for a while and can't find that specific combo of codes, but it looks like it's a size issue. From what I can tell, the Size is in Bytes. So if I have 32 Bools it should be a Size of UINT#4 max, right? Any help would be greatly appreciated! The function block having issues is setup the exact same as the other two that read from the same structure; I even copied and pasted them from each other and just changed the FB name and the postfix in the SrcDat string (from MyBools to MyDints/MyReals). Here are the screenshot: 1. Allen-Bradley Structure 2. CIPUCMMRead Function Block with size 4 3. CIPUCMMRead Function Block with size 1

  6. Hello, I'm using View Designer 7.01 and experience anomalies in project explorer. When I move mouse cursor over project explorer, highlighted lines render with anomalies. I have tried to create new project with different HMI and and versions, but it didn't help. (picture in attachment) Anybody experience this problem before? Thanks in advance! Scotty
  7. So we have a PLC project coming up and its our first one and understand and can execute most of the sequence without issue. The part that is getting me is how to handle the following efficiently using studio 5000 and panel view. AHU has to be able to run test cycles User selectable up to 250 steps in a test cycle User selectable temperature setpoint for each step User selectable humidity setpoint for each step User selectable time duration for each step I thought about using arrays but as i understand the allen-bradley plcs to change the array size you have to go offline and then back online so you could not change it dynamically. Was considering doind this with reading the dataset from an excel document the user would edit. The other option for me is to have a static arrays size and then based on the number of steps the user select have the routine only execute x ammount of steps, which is done easy enough. Big thing is after the code portion is lined out is there a way to dynamically change the hmi graphics to only display certain steps for the user to edit, maybe by using an array of bits that are on and off for visibility and then having a GUI object be shown or hidden based on that bit?
  8. Can the PlC be accessed remotely. If I hook the CompactLogix L32E up to the internet WAN, would it be possible for an engineer to access and make changes to the program remotely?? Or does it have to be done onsite through the LAN.

  10. Hi guys! I need some help, recently was assined to me make a program with a PANELVIEW PLUS 6 600, until here all ok , but! I need to make a devicenet comunication, and use factorytalk 5.1... here start my problems, i find a EDS file to the factory falk, but, in the rockweell site, the information about compatibilty is "may be compatible"... I need to make in the factorytal 5.1 because de cliente system is based in this version of the software. Someone already had a similar problem??? if so, can help me? thank's, and sorry about any mistakes in my writing.
  11. hello guys>> i have cpu compactlogix 1769-l32e and i have a program on my flash memory with extension p5k with version 17.004 (17.4) but this version became out of date i tried to find it at Rockwell Automation site but unfortunately they told me that "this version became obsolete" , so if any one has this version "17.004" on his device , please send me it . because this topic is urgent in my career.
  12. Hello to everybody, I'm new in AB world, but has experience in Siemens and Omron. I'm trying to find out a way how I can handle multiple PLC firmware versions in Studio 5000. I installed Studio 5000 v30.* and it give me only 1 option to select PLC with v30 or HMI with v3. I get in touch with AB support and they told me to upgrade my PLC firmware to support my software version what is doesn't sounds like solution for me. Could anybody help me to explain how Studio 5000 works and it was done in Rockwell world? Thanks in advance! Regards, Scotty
  13. Hello I have a scenario that's been bugging me for some time now. The scenario consists of a Micrologix 1400 that I need to control it's output from modbus/tcp. In detail what I really need is to be able to manipulate the O0:0 through modbus/tcp. The PLC would be the master and I would be the slave that triggers the connection to the master. I'm using a Modbus-Client on my PC and that should be the slave. Any idea as to how I can manage that? Currently I can send data to the master but everything is "stored" on B10 and I have no idea how I could write directly on O0. Thanks a bunch guys. PS: I'm borderline noob.
  14. A machine was bought at auction which included PLC-5/15 module. It did not come with a backup of the program. Our maintenance technician said the program would not load and turned the module over to me (IT). I notice the battery was installed in '92 so am assuming the program is lost. Is their any internal memory or last ditch effort i can attempt to recover the program from this module?
  15. I have G310 and need to communicate with a AB PowerFlex 753 via Ethernet (20-COMM-E). I have tinkered with the Allen-Bradley drivers, which appear to be a MSG function, with no success. Has anyone done this?
  16. Hi everyone, I just want to layout the structure of the question. I have a GOT2000 (GT27* series) that I have hooked up and communicating with an Allen-Bradley PLC. I have established connection and can pull out certain tags values from the PLC program in RSLogix 5000. While I can read the tag values, I cannot modify them (in certain conditions). So let say that I have a User-Defined Structure named "Smoke_Detector" and here are it's available members: Smoke_Detector: - ALARM (BOOL) - ON_TIME (DINT) * DINT in Allen-Bradley but Signed Binary 32 - Battery_Life (REAL) My question is that while I can read and display the tag and its members through the following: - LAMP for Smoke_Detector.ALARM - Numerical Display for both Smoke_Detector.ON_TIME and Smoke_Detector.Battery_Life But when I tried to modify the values via a Bit Switch or Numerical Input, it does not operate on them. However, if these tags are members are just standalone tags, meaning that they are not within a UDT in RSLogix 5000, then I can operate/ modify them just fine. Here are the things that I have tried: * Making sure that the permission are set to Read/ Write in RSLogix 5000 * Making sure that the tag definition in GT Designer 3 follows the structure where @[channel]:[Network #]:[Station #]::[Tag instance and member (e.g Smoke_detector is the instance and Alarm is member] Any possible insight and input are appreciate!
  17. Hey guys, I have worked on the FTView ME platform many of times. I am now working on a FTView SE (Local Station) application, and I am having trouble connecting an Offline .ACD file to my program so that I can design. If someone could help me with this it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
  18. We have an auto-clave unit purchased at auction roughly 4 years ago. CompactLogix L32e and PanelView Plus 1000. All has been working for us until last week. Suddenly, the program seems to freeze up after around 30 seconds. I can still touch the panelview and the touches are registered, (the mouse icon moves) but the program does not respond and I can tell the program is frozen because the clock which displays seconds stops counting. When i boot into safe mode (clicking white box on boot) the system does not seem to freeze at all. I am able to navigate those menus w/o issue. We don't have any of the software to connect to the PLC. I understand this is a somewhat broad issue, but does anyone have any idease where i can start in troubleshooting this? or is their any further info i can provide which would be helpful?

  20. We've purchased an Autoclave at auction with CompactLogix L32e and PanelView Plus 1000. With the help of some forum members and a local engineering company we have the machine finally working! I'm looking for some advise as to how to train users for standerd operation. For example: Their is a toggle switch on the front which powers on everything (PanelView, processer, switch, etc). We close at 5pm each night.. Should we Power down the machine each night, or leave it on? Another user mentioned a battery and I was a bit confused with the manual. With the machine off, Is the PLC only holding the program because of the battery?? I have backups of the following.. (.acd, .apa, .mer) files. I also have created a Disc Image of the Internal Flash card on the PanelView. Is their anything else I should have a backup of? Their is a CF card in the PLC. It has a folder called "Logix" and one called "System Volume Information" In the Logix folder is a CurrentApp folder with a .bin and .p5k file. Does anyone know what exactly these are doing?? Any other advise is greatly appreciated. Thanks so much for your time.
  21. I had communication working between panelview and PLC by changing the IP of the panelview to same network as PLC. A maintenance tech removed the IO module with the machine running and we have now lost communication. It gets stuck now loading the RsLogix symbols. After 5 min. It lets me continue, but I see ? Instalead of sensor values. when I go to terminal settings on panelview and set to dhcp, it loads the RsLogix symbols and the program, but I still get the ? Marks instead of values.. i also noticed the IO led on PLC is now off and am pretty sure it was on when all was working.. any advice?? Thanks for your time
  22. We have a sterilizer w/ Allen Bradley controls which we bought at auction. It has a panelview plus 1000. It came with a CD containing .mer and .apa files. I was able to load the .mer file via the configuration screen by using the external CF card. When I run the application, their is a login button in the bottom right which when pushed brings up a user/password screen. We do not know the user/password for this. Is it possible to find the password by somehow reviewing the files. We do not have any software, and do not want to make any changes to the program (rather than changing the password). I've attached the files in case anyone can help. Also, was i correct to load the .mer file?? or should I be using the .apa? I followed these instructions here. http://www.judiwa.com/2010/10/05/how-to-copy-panelview-plus-application-with-compact-flash-card/ Thanks for your time PA1525_PVP1000.mer PA1525_PVP1000.apa
  23. Thanks for your time. We have purchased from auction a Getinge Autoclave (sterilizer) with Allen-Bradley controls (CompactLogix L32E). The machine has a PanelView Plus 1000 installed. A CD came with the machine w/ the following files.. HMI Project - (.apa file) Runtime (.mer file) Their is also a compact flash card installed in the CompactLogix L32E. On the Panel View, their is an external Compact Flash slot, but no card, and on the inside of the panel view (if i remove the back cover) their is a compact flash card slot with a card installed. I haven't checked what is on either of those cards yet.. We cannot get the program to load on the panel view. When the machine is powered on, the panel view goes through a quick dos setup screen and then the screen turns blue and we are stuck with an hour glass icon. The icon will move depending upon where you touch on the screen. I can boot the panel view in safe mode (by hitting the default button, then reset) at which point I get a message stating that the machines files may be corrupted and leaves me the options to Download new Firmware, or Continue. Hitting Continue nothing happens, and choosing Download gives me Ethernet, or Serial options. The Panel View is connected to the PLC via ethernet so I choose this option and it gets stuck at this point. We do not want to make any changes to the program, but just to get it to run on the machine. We do not have ANY of the software. Any advise is greatly appreciated. Craig
  24. Good afternoon fellow members,I once again ask for your help to know if any of you have struggled with similar issues. For the past year and a half, Every 1-2 months we seem to be losing communication with one of our PLC's/racks. We have in the rack a 1756-EN2T card (revision 3.006) that will flash as if it is communicating and status OK (green LED), yet we will be unable to ping it and our operator interfaces go into error. We could also not open the web browser page of the EN2T card, nor connect to the PLC/rack through RSLogix5000. As this happened over the weekend, the local electrician was called and he tried cycling power to the rack and there was no change after it came back on (not sure how long he left power off to the rack though). The problem seemed to be fixed after we told him to pull the EN2T card out of its slot and then re-insert it.We verified the CIP cinnections for this card and it is around 98 to 101 CIP connections out of a max of 248, so not too high. the card's CPU usage is 24-29%, so no indication of problems there. EN2T Card is set to auto-negociate, just like all the other cards we use at all of our plants. Has anyone ever experienced a similar problem?Thank you in advance for all your help and knowledge-sharing!
  25. HI guys, does anyone here knows the data logging format for plc AB 1766? I had looked into manual but I cant find it,may be i'm miss look it.
