Hi Philip, this counter application continues to be problematic for me, the writing of the Compare window values and reading them back seems to be erratic and unreliable to what is happening in the module, is the timing for messaging critical? i ask this as it does work sometimes and other times ...

Hi Philip, the writing side looks good and i have done this as you suggested by Explicit Message (Parameter Write). but i would like to read these values back and display them on HMI, i tried this by Explicit Message (Parameter read) but it did not seem reliable, hence why i though i would try the ...

Hi Philip, still having trouble reading the config file back to a tag. message block reads successfully without error, some data is propagated into the tag but not all data. not sure where i have gone wrong here and this is frustrating me. ------------------------------ Regards Alan ...

Hi Philip, i have done further testing this morning and you are correct, it does indeed write to the values, the message instruction does not fail and successfully writes or reads from the module. what threw me off was that the new value cannot be seen in controller tags or the module properties ...

Hi Philip, after more bench testing i have found i can "Get" the value easily but cannot "Set" the Value. i would like to achieve a write without "interrupting" module by SSV and losing pulses on my cut to length application . see attached info. ------------------------------ ...

Thanks Philip for this I appreciate it. Initial bench testing looks promising, I will try this on my application and report back when i can, we went into full production yesterday so unsure when my next available window will be. ------------------------------ Regards Alan -------------- ...

Thanks Philip, this is a much better option for my application. i understand your reference to "Regarding the inhibit" and its duly noted. can you tell me what revision version the below happened at ? You'll notice on the new 5000-series IO, the Compare Windows were moved from the Configuration ...

this sounds a bit "Clunky" , my application is cut to length, so while doing this i expect some pulses will be lost and therefore error induced. am i missing something here? i am using those compare windows to set my output (out 0) to cut and then reset counter (out 1). surely there is a better way? ...

thanks Philip, this has helped, but not all the data is not being loaded into my tag, in particular the compare windows are returning zero ? ------------------------------ Regards Alan ------------------------------

i set the msg instruction up with a bool i can toggle to enable it. for my test i used GET to analyze the return. message works with no errors and data is loaded to the Tag "EICS_DINT_ARRAY_22" however i dont understand the way it returns the data compared to the memory map, the lack of information ...

i am having trouble loading new values to the "On Value" and "Off Values" as seen below. i can manually enter the values into the applet seen below but i want to be able to do this from ladder logic in my user program. tags required to move the values into are xxxx:C.OnValue1 xxxx:C.OffValue1 ...

i am currently migrating a 1746-HCSE (SLC500 platform high speed counter module ) to a 1734-VHSC24 on a ControlLogix L83E to replace an aging system. my 1746-HCSE module onboard output "pulls low to Zero Volts" on a compare window where as i cannot get the 1734-VHSC24 module to do same as it outputs ...
