RE: 1756-EN2T/D card shows bsp_WatchdogImpl.cpp

Hi fuzzy logic, I had another go on the expensive brick and brought it back to life! One thing I hadn't tried was setting an IP address in the 192.168.1.X range via the dials. With this setting the card started up normally. After this I used dial settings '888' for factory reset and when reverting ...

Hi @fuzzy logic, Just to close this chapter: Tech support says that when the card remains in the loop even after a power cycle it is a hardware fault and the card needs to be replaced on our own expense, with the card being out of warranty. This is a bit disappointing considering that RW provides ...

Hi all, I have flashed an EN2T/D card firmware from V10 to V11. The result is the message string: Cycle Power to Unit: Assert in File../../../../../../LNX/Platform/BSP/Chip/Ice2/BareMetal/bsp_WatchdogImpl.cpp Line 70. According to this article (ID: BF28974 | Access Levels: TechConnect) the root cause ...

RE: Remote IO status check

Hi Chris, We had a customer who wanted all devices permanently checked. With the GSV instructions not being the fastest in execution, we used a CASE statement stepping through a module per scan to read the entry status: CASE ModuleStep OF 0: GSV(MODULE, Module0, EntryStatus, ModuleStatus[ 0]); ...

RE: RSLogix5000 v32:IP Change

Hi, There is no shortcut that I would know off. If you have a device ring, you could open it and add your laptop as last device. Use RSLinx to set IPs on Rockwell devices where possible. I would recommend to power cycle all devices when the new IPs are set, to ensure that they 'stick'. Best of ...

Hi @Giacomini, With 80 + devices you can either leave the subnet mask as it is or change it to 255.255.255.128, allowing 126 devices per subnet: Can you explain how Ethernet IP and ProfiBus are mixed?

Thanks @fuzzy logic for the fast confirmation!

5580 ControlLogix V36 and OPC Server/Client

Hi all, Reading the release notes for V36 I saw that OPC functions are now available on 5580 CPUs (technote QA67231 for details). Has one of you tested this? In the technote mentioned the communication path is defined as THIS in step 1.4. I am wondering if only the Ethernet port on the CPU itself ...

RE: Brainstorming About Overall Length Measurment Design and Ideas.

Hi Amir, I am not aware of any RW hardware for a length check, the vision system should do the job here. I have used a Cognex camera before to measure the size of an object. You train the camera with a reference sheet which determines how many pixels represent a centimetre for example. The higher ...

RE: 5032 ArmorBlock 5000 IO Master configuration

Hi William, Thanks for your feedback. That sounds like the perfect solution. Checking the settings in test project created in Studio5000 V35 I couldn't see any ADC setting for the Master Module, only for the connected IO Link device: After studying the 5032-8IOLM12DR manual, my understanding ...

5032 ArmorBlock 5000 IO Master configuration

Hi all, I am working on an obsolescence project in which old 1732D ArmorBlocks need to be replaced. It planned to use 5032-8IOLM12DR. A client question was how the configuration needs to be setup, if an ArmorBlock fails and would be replaced with a device from spares. Does the CPU send the IO configuration ...
