Hi guys. On our company we got several different PLC system but right now I´m focusing on a Mitsubishi Q-system with device-net master QJ71DN91. We are going to make communication with SMC-JXCD1 controller for a actuator. But I have no experience with DeviceNet and unfortunately there is no files, functionblock, or program examples what I can find. Not even Mitsubishi or SMC had some for these two together so I turning the Question into this forum instead? Previously I´ve used profibus on a fx3U system and FX5U-Simple CPU communication protocol to talk with slaves in a network. I got on hold of some old document from Beijer from where I got 3 functionblocks for devicenet. 1.DnInitiateQ 2. DnSupervisorQ 3. DnDataQ 4. DnMessageQ So maybe I can have some help from these but I´m still not sure how to send/receive information to the SMC-nodes. I´m a little confused about if I should use the master with I/O communication or master with explicit messages? The later I haven´t even heard of. I was only thinking about creating array of word to receive and send info to the nodes. But my knowledge of this communication protocol is very low. Anyone know´s how to get me started? Or can provide some kind of example in GX IEC or GX works.

I'm trying to set up an Ethernet/IP communication with a CIP block between a Micro850 and a SMC EX600-sen3 pneumatic Module. I can read the inputs of the module with the configuration below, but I CANT write to SET or RESET the digital outputs. There are NO errors showing communications issues in the CIP Generic Block I am using... I read that for some reason, it seems that there are problems with writing thru Ethernet/IP protocol between Micro family and other devices not from Rockwell... Does anyone know if there is a way to make it work? Configuration that is working to READ: CIP Service Code: 14 CIP Class ID: 4 CIP Instance ID: 100 CIP Attribute: 3 CIP Member ID: 0 Configuration that is NOT working to WRITE: CIP Service Code: 16 CIP Class ID: 4 CIP Instance ID: 150 CIP Attribute: 3 CIP Member ID: 0

I'm trying to connect a SMC EX-260 to a Allen Bradley Micrologix 1400 PLC so I can run some valves with it. However, RsLogix 500 doesn't allow me to just setup a generic ethernet device like I would on RsLogix 5000. Is there a way I can communicate these devices together so I can use the SMC Valve system with my Micrologix?

Good day, how can I communicate with SMC EX600 by Ethernet/IP have you any exemple? I do a setup by EIP configuration tool and write into EIP module but I cant switch any bit into EX600. Thanks

Good day, I am new in mitsubishi and have a question about how build built in ethernet communication on fx5u fw 1.050 gx3 1.047 with smc ex260 sen1, where i need send 2 bytes and receive 4 bytes can u help me? I try to send data with this format 2#0000000100000001 and send by Ethernet Active Tcp connection library where I have added the external device configuration ip and port SMC EX260 SEN1, I think I needed use a CIP protocol and port 44818 or Ethernet/ip, maybe I need add a ENET module to use this communication between my devices? Thanks a lot for answers

Hi! Allen bradley PLC RS Logix 5000 I have a problem with a SMC pressure sensor (ISE30A if I remember correctly). When I monitoring the raw data from the ananlog module, I get about -7710 value, when the smc display shows about 0. There are another SMC pressure sensors too, and if the sensors displays shows 0 then the values what I get form the analog module is about 0 too, so the others work properly. But this one don't. I already check the wiring. I have no clue waths the problem. Any idea from anybody? Thank you for your help.

I am trying to export the Modbus points lists from a DAServer in Archestra SMC but I am getting an error message shown in the attached image. All options are greyed out and I cannot export the points list from the PLC node. I know there are points configured on the PLC node because data is updating the the InTouch application. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated!

Gentleman… Does Rockwell have any simulation PLC code that mimics an SMC-Flex soft starter? Since we are using those (as well as the E3+ and E300) I would like to develop a model environment for starting of several drives. In a specific case, we may have 3 or 4 drives in a pool of drives in which only a subset must be running at any one time. Development of ladder logic for starting and maintaining those drives running while considering various fault conditions and startup issues would be very helpful in our environment. I would like to be consistent among various areas within our plant that we incorporate pools of drives, from 4 to 2. Having the ability to test in the lab would be very beneficial. Thank you, David
