HogueGregPLC, Yes, you can pull the value with a MSG instruction. There is an example technote here: PowerFlex 525: Explicit message setup to read and write to drive parameters ID: QA54963 | Access Levels: TechConnect You can also pull the parameter by changing the connection format within the ...

HogueGregPLC, I would just add that while I wouldn't say having a short decel time would necessarily damage the motor, I have seen regenerative loads damage motors. On a system utilizing a powerflex 525 to operate a centrifugal pump moving water, the pump would turn off and the water would spin the ...

Crockett, I haven't experienced this, and I couldn't find a technote specifically for the performance version of the panelview. I did find the following technotes which might help: PanelView Plus appear to freeze or lockup periodically ID: BF1207 | Access Levels: TechConnect PanelView Plus 7 Standard ...

RE: Application Code Manager - Has anyone previously worked with the ACM predefined functions?

Explorer1, Honestly, I have avoided the predefined functions. As you may have noticed with ACM, the documentation is light. The two main documents are: Library Designer and Library Object Manager User Manual Application Code Manager User Manual Unfortunately, you will find very little help from ...

Explorer1, That's an interesting idea, I don't think I've ever attempted such an instantiation strategy as I haven't had such a large quantity of repeated parametrized logic before. I grabbed the VSD files too since that's what you are looking at although I suspect any output device from the process ...

RE: PanelView 1500 default display

Found In Egroup: Automation Control \ view thread
Lovell, Since you are using a panelview 1500 I'm guessing you are limited to firmware v5.1. I'm not sure what functionality is available for that version, but FactoryTalk View ME has such a function built-in: (This is v12, I don't have an older version of ME readily available at the moment). ...

RE: FactoryTalk Security - Nested AD Groups

Luff, I haven't tried this specific setup. I have seen in the the Factory Talk Security System Configuration Guide it mentions nesting FactoryTalk user groups is not allowed, but I don't see anything specific regarding the Active Directory groups. Although I did see a Rockwell document mentioning nesting ...

Explorer1, I can try to take a look at this later in the week if someone else doesn't get back to your first, at the moment I'm a little busy going to some plants to support them. For now, I would like to clarify what you are trying to accomplish. Are you just trying to generate logic external to ...

RE: 1715-TAD8B16D with redundant module 1715-IB16D

Rao, I'd recommend taking a look at the Redundant I/O System manual. Particularly, starting on pages 76 and 225. The 50mA fuse looks like a replaceable internal part to the 1715-TADIB16D as seen on page 79, the 5.11kΩ resistor is internal as well, but if you look at the drawing in the manual you will ...

Shi, The built-in DataLog doesn't have a functionality to trigger the start of Datalogging based upon a specific tag. However, there are ActiveX objects which do have this functionality. Specifically, The MECSVDataLog and the MEDataStorePlus. In the "Connections" tab of the object properties ...

HANNAFORD, I don't have a direct solution to offer, but I would suggest contacting Rockwell technical support for this one. Sometimes the AOI's do have compatibility issues with older versions of PLC's, and the IO-Link library does list some instructions as having a compatibility issue with the 5370 ...

Mir, I'm sure the challenges vary based upon each migration, but in my experience the main difficulty is making sure all the code in the legacy system is understood. SLC systems don't keep comments and descriptors in the PLC, so these are often lost, and it is common to encounter out of date electrical ...

RE: How to configure Alarm group for using parameter file

Babu, Could you share the actual errors you are getting from the diagnostic list as well? It is difficult to say what to do without knowing exactly how the passed parameters are trying to be used and what the exact error is. I assume you are trying to do some animation based upon the alarm class. ...

Onayli, Thank you for uploading the parameter file. I would continue to suggest that the long decel time may be due to Bus regulation as you are using frequency adjustment for BUS regulation which is normal. I'm not sure there is anything programmatically you can do about that. You may have to install ...

Onayli, Someone had a similar issue recently here: Powerflex 753 PTP mode decel time problem Quite frankly though, I'm not sure if their issue is resolved, but you could look at the technotes in that post and see if anything helps you.

Splash, It's interesting that the AOP won't open only on drives 1 & 2. It should be the same AOP as the Datalink is just an option within the AOP, not something from a separate AOP. Have you tried using CCW? I've had powerflex syncing issues with Studio 5000 before, and I got around it by simply changes ...
