RE: Multiple Socket message connections

So, are you saying I should only have one instance of create socket and multiple connects, reads, writes, etc.? I also delete the socket. I started this project with the socket message AOI from the sample code library and it has evolved from there. ------------------------------ Wescott ------- ...

I verified that I am setting it up as a client however, my socket create message is getting this error: 16#00ff 16#0000_0030 The address is already in use. This error can occur when multiple Socket Create requests are issued to the same port address. Are you sure they can all be issued to the same ...

I am trying to setup one 1769 CompactlLogix to talk to multiple UR robots. I am not just using the Ethernet IP but also the dashboard server through socket messaging. I have done this with one UR before but not multiple. I need to know if the CompactLogix can talk to multiple devices over socket messaging ...

Thanks for the suggestion but this is a rather complex process with branches. If I switch all the tags to program tags but have multiple copies of the exact same routine in the program won't the tags be the same in all the copies. In other words if a tag is changed in one routine isn't it also the ...

To make this work I need to convert all the tags in the exist SFC program to program scope. Can anyone think of a quick way to do that? ------------------------------ Mike Wescott ------------------------------

Are you referring to using JSR/SBR/RET with input/output and passing tags to the subroutine? That is what I am considering doing if there is no other way around the converting SFC to AOI. ------------------------------ Wescott ------------------------------

I have a program I am using SFC in and I need to duplicate it for 16 total robots. I was going to turn it into an AOI but alas AOI's do not support SFC programming. Any ideas on alternative methods to duplicate an SFC based program? ------------------------------ Wescott ----------------------- ...

RE: Kinetix load balancing

I have ran two separate trends capturing position error for both axis along with several other things. The maximum position error I ever see is 0.02456811. This is right after it starts moving and it maintains close to this position error throughout most of the move. This axis is drawing about 20 amps ...

Thanks for the reply. This sounds like what I am after. Right now one axis has about 4 times the load on it that the other one has judging from the motor and inverter capacity. Neither one seems to be too high though. The higher one only gets up to about 25%. What parameters do I need to monitor to see ...

Kinetix load balancing

I have an application with a dual kinetix 5700 drive and two linear actuators rotating a single lift table. It is about 15 feet tall and weighs a lot but I don't have the actual weight. The actuators both push on lever arms under a pivot point to rotate the table up. I need to ensure the actuators are ...
