RE: Missing MAM.PC Flag from Kinetix 5300

I am told by the operators that the MAM does not operate the servo motor when the failure occurs. MAM.PC off confirms that, but what interferes with the command? MAM.ERR remains 0. I am beginning to suspect the ethernet traffic on Port A2 may be a factor. There are 4 5300s and 7 525s. RPIs too short? ...

Using for step transition. Works 99.99% of the time. 2 or 3 times a day, it fails to make, and shuts down the line. CompactLogix 5380 5069-L320ERM connected through Stratix switch. Is there a better way? -------------------------------------------

In the 5380, /*S:0 %.Seal.@Description*/ embeds the tag link at the Alarm message at one single definition, and all the Logix Tag Based Alarms trace the description field in their own PLC alarm tag as the source, which is pretty handy. The Alarm Message Editor in FTVS SE is less so, but it is the ...

This is creating a separate message for the Extended Properties of trigger0X.@Description at each Event. What about one single message that accommodates the Extended Properties of multiple Events? -------------------------------------------

My question is, does an embedded syntax similar to /*S:0 %.Seal.@Description*/ at the Alarm Definition in the 5380 for Alarms exist for the Alarm Message Editor in FTVS SE with regard to Events? -------------------------------------------

Yes, Marcel. This is how i am passing Alarm messages to FTVS SE. But these are for alarms, not events. Alarms must be acknowledged, where events go away on their own, and only remain in the Alarm & Event Log Viewer. /*S:0 %.Seal.@Description*/ embeds the tag link at the Alarm message one time, and ...

Thank you, Marcel. Your form is exactly what I am using now. It works perfectly well, but i must create one message for each event. The LTBA of the 5380 allows use of an embedded variable to save this effort for all Alarm Messages, and i am searching for something similar with Events. I thought ...

Thank you for the response, Marcel. Did this use the tag name inside the Alarm Message Editor, or the indirect identifier "InputName"? The intent I am after is an indirect address to use in a single message that can be used universally with a multitude of tags used in Events. This is available ...

Bruce, I tried your syntax. InputName is shown in docs as the indirect location to be used for the associated tag, but gives *** for a message at the Alarm & Event Log Viewer. The lower pane gives the text listed in the Description field for that tag, but must be defined individually to the Event, which ...

The server reboot following the patch did not change the embedding of the message using the indirect address %. Specifying the tagname in the Alarm Message Editor is the only way to make this work at the Alarm & Event Log Viewer. Anyone else try this? -------------------------------------------

There are no F005 Faults (DC bus voltage exceeded max value) , but i would like to pull the parameter b005 into Historian. Is there a technote on how to draw this parameter out of the drive into a compactlogix? MSG w/ attribute? -------------------------------------------

When an AC motor regenerates energy from the load, can a short Decel setting (0.05 Seconds) on a PowerFlex 525 damage the motor over time? There is no brake resistor employed. -------------------------------------------

I tried adding Input Tag Name, including the extended property, /*S:0 %InputName.@Description */. Again, I get the NOFILL, SPACEFILL, ZEROFILL validation error. I don't understand why a string type behaves like an integer type. I would like to have one indirectly addressed message ID for all events, ...

I can embed the %.@Description field from the 5380 Logix Based Tag Alarm as an alarm message at the Alarm and Event Log Viewer \ Summary \ Banner, and only specify the input. But for Events, i must use the FTVS SE Alarm & Event Setup, where i have to duplicate the actual tagname to embed the .@Description ...

The document on A&E states that InputName is a valid name in Logix Tag Extended Properties, but this can't get past the Left Fill requirement. I tried a patch install of Setup_RAid1155745_FTAE650, but that did not change anything. Do i really need to reboot this server? ------------------------ ...

The device shortcuts are 5380 PLCs with logic based tag alarms, so the FTVS SE alarm configuration is empty. The exported XLS file doesn't contain any of the alarms. -------------------------------------------
