The simple way is to use a USB that works as a keyboard wedge. When a card is swiped the PV sees it as someone typing in username, password. The user are ...

A time machine would help. I'm sure you know the SLC is obsolete. You need RSlogix500 to program (probably not worth buying if you don't already have), RSLinx for comm's. Also a 1747-UIC USB to DH-485 USB PLC Programming Cable. They are still around on Ebay etc. ------------------------------ ...

I have never used CCW but it looks similar to FTME. Look in Global Connections tab for the Current Screen Number System Tag, point it to the PLC tag you want to use to control active display. You need to make sure all displayes have enique screen numbers. move the screen number into that tag, the corresponding ...

Hi Eileen I took a Siemens course called AB to S7. It assumed expert knowledge of AB and used that to relate to S7 programming in a fast track "you do it like this, we do it like that" method. Does Rockwell offer a similar course for Siemens experts? ------------------------------ Amelio ----- ...

If you really must continue using PV600 as is here is another option. If you have room in the rack leave the L55 and place the L72 in same rack. Use MSG instruction to get data needed from L72 into the L55. Strip logic from the L55 and replace with MOV COPY rungs or whatever needed to write to tags used ...

I don't know of a way to display that tag in hh:mm:ss but what I have done is create a tag like yours then divide it by 1000 into another tag for seconds.

EDIT: corrected typos -FL Hi Alvaro. The 1747-L552 has Ethernet and serial. Ethernet is best as CAT6/6 cables are so available. The default is BOOTP enabled so you can set IP with BOOTP. The other option is serial using a 1747-CP3 cable. Since Laptops no longer have serial ports you would need a ...
