One approach for critical interlocks is to use hard-wired digital signals All of the fancy fly-by-wire stuff is cool and all, but may not be a suitable alternative to inter-connected digital IO direct programming within the drives as the primary channel with the comms channel as a backup / supplementary ...

I built an application in RSLogix 5000 36.11 which uses RedLion G10/G15 HMI It has been successfully field commissioned and tweaked and is operational. Some additional tweaks are in order as well as the addition of 2 actuated valves. In the absence of any hardware ... is there any way to simulate/emulate ...

Thank you fuzzy logic for your response... It appears that once I have done the reply->make best answer, I can no longer reply to that message. It turns out that we are using a 5380 CompactLogix with RSLogix 5000 v36.00.00 so that Data Preserved Download should already be available ...

I just decided to do a DIY for such a trivial calculation; I found the Zeller algorithm online and just banged together this chunk of ST I didn't bother to turn it into a function since I was using it for "today" and not for arbitrary dates //Zeller DoW algorithm Zeller_year := SystemTime[0]; ...

Yikes and Sheesh! What a dummy! I got confused by all the parentheses and assumed it was a function rather than an operator. Thanks a lot!

Where is MOD as in Modulo ? In RS5k.. Lite Everywhere I look it just states MOD() as if it is ubiquitously present... Doesn't refer to libraries or AOI or anything. When I code it, compiler flags it as unknown function error. So what secret Masonic Handshake is required to implement such ...

Having implemented the anti-windup logic, We notice that when the VFD shuts down due to LALL being reached, The PID will continue to ramp up - eventually to pedal-to-the-metal. I must be missing something... Allegedly when WindupHIn and WindupLIn are asserted CV is supposed to remain static. NSR_1010A ...

Adding over-pressure protection to Level Controlled Pumping System I'm trying to wrap my head around what feels like should be a straightforward proposition. We have established reasonable control over a water pumping system using PLC-based PID reservoir level control driving VFD speed. ...

We determined the minimum VFD frequency required to overcome the static pressure and set the CV control range to Hz_Min to 60Hz Is that essentially equivalent to pushing Static_Pressure_Level-equivalent into FF ? Or is that fundamentally different ? On the subject of incorporating pump curves into ...

Thank you for your reply... Some advice I obtained was that it was not possible to have multiple versions of Studio5000 installed concurrently Our experience was that after having installed v37.00.00, we subsequently downloaded the v36.00.01 installation files and magically the right ...

From examining several "bumpless transfer" examples I came up with this: Seems to me that OperManualReq + CVOper is similar in nature to CVInitReq + CVInitValue I would have thought that being held in Manual should have stopped windup. My guess is maybe that because the PIDE is running continuously ...

I'm confused as heck... I thought I had configured the PID process to run about once a second. Turns out it is running full speed - every 1 ms So I'm farting around trying to replicate the PID Instruction Timing in the manual Ideally I would like to be able to change the period on the fly.

Thank you very much for that comprehensive response. Based on earlier advice I did indeed implement PIDE. I also implemented a "bumpless transfer" as required by the control narrative. The operating scenario envisioned was to start a pumping operation in LOCal mode in which the VFD speed is manually ...

Is this an appropriate forum for asking about control strategies ? My application of interest relates to a water pumping process. The control narrative called for a simple direct PID control strategy. During commissioning it has become apparent that a more complex strategy is required... First ...
