RSNetworks v28.01.00 (released 6/2019). The release notes say Server 2019 and Win 10. You'll need a path from your PC to DeviceNet and the easiest way is through the 1756-DNB (via the USB port to your PC, or bridging via EtherNet/IP to your PC) or via EN2DN... etc. As an alternative to backing DeviceNet ...

The picture you provided is a 9-lead motor with a star/wye configuration. The Amps is directly related to the voltage. When the voltage doubles from 230 to 460, the amps are halved. It will produce the same 50 HP either at 230V and 112A or 480V and 62A Your question might be referring to a Wye/Delta ...

Yes your method for moving a bucket from MCC-A to MCC-B is correct. If there was an E3 failure in MCC-B and you are moving the spare from MCC-A over to MCC-B as a replacement, then there are only two things to do: assign the address (via rotary dials) recover the E3 configuration and apply it ...

Garvey, SQL only contains the Tag configuration (that you see in FTV Studio on the screenshot next to it). The only time SQL would get updated is if you change the HMI Tags via FTV Studio.
