RE: PLC 5's kicking me offline...seems isolated to one DHRIO channel

Posted By McKenzie Apr 16, 2024 04:54:06 AM
Found In Egroup: Networks \ view thread
Seems to be the PLC5's over data highway. The chassis this card is in is quite loaded. There are 3 1756-L73s interacting with our level 2 systems as well as 4 other data highway networks. None of the other networks on the chassis have issues though. We were having a lot of issues with this chassis. These ...

Hey everyone, We've been fighting with a networking issue here in our facility for some time. Our machine level networks are a mix of ethernet and DHRIO. We are able to connect wireless through our ethernet network drilling down to these PLC5 processors via DHRIO cards. We have one particular chassis ...

So I am upgrading a 1250 to a panelview 5510. I'm almost there as far as the commissioning is concerned I'm just running into a little snag regarding the alarms. We are running an L81 with v34 and are using the Alarm Manager to handle our faults. My issue here though is that the old 1250 would write ...

Those articles and manuals had the information I was looking for thank you. As for the reasoning behind not starting from scratch is mainly available capital. In order to start converting these old obsolete systems in our facility it's easier to get the capital to do that if we piece meal ...

Hey guys, Going way back here. We are moving to replace a 1394 motion controller with a Kinetix system and a Logix platform. The Logix platform for the time being will solely be used for motion. Currently there is a PLC5 running the show and communicating the the 1394 via RIO and Flex IO. ...

Safety rating of guardlogix if you aren't using safety instructions?

Found In Egroup: Automation Control \ view thread
Hey guys, I came across an old machine in my facility that had guardlogix implemented years back. The programming doesn't seem to be using the safety instructions to energize the output relays. Just standard OTEs in the safety program. Is this acceptable? I know the manuals explicitly say that the ...

Does a Stratix 8000 GB Port Trunk line provide management without setup?

Found In Egroup: Networks \ view thread
Hey guys, I have a machine network that has been having very intermittent issues. The original configuration was 4 Stratix 8000 switches set up in a ring configuration (not to be confused with DLR it is not set up that way) with the trunk line connecting to the giga ports. Each of these switches branched ...

Which communication adapter are you using? 1734-AENT, AENTR, ADN, ACNR? Aent although this would not have been a part of the circuit that powered the failed components as right after the ext1 cable was a EP24DC. What else got damaged in your system? Nothing else. This occurred during removal of ...

Wondering if anyone has experienced this before... I have a rack of Point I/O. There are x number of cards in one rack then a connection cable to the next rack. The next rack in question had a 1734-EP24DC module followed by about 9 IB8's, then another EP24DC and a FPD, and then 6 OB8E's. All 15 of ...

I'll clarify this with a simpler question... In the 1756-RIO config, can you utilize both the discrete IO AND block transfers on the same rack? ------------------------------ McKenzie ------------------------------

I have a weird one here. Wondering if anyone has ever seen this. Really scratching my head here. I have one full rack set up in my PLC5 processor, and the corresponding rack set up in my RIO card which is in adapter mode in my logix chassis. I also have 8 block transfers successfully set up and transmitting ...

PLC and Logix integration via 1756-RIO card

We are planning a phased migration from PLC5 to logix. The PLC5 will be running the machine the same way it has been for the foreseeable future but with the introduction of the logix chassis we are starting to phase out older obsolete parts with modern ethernet IP components. The RIO card in the logix ...
