RE: Range Key - Value Converter

Vu Van, Looing at your data I would agree with AutomateSHANE that an expression evaluator would work better. It seems to me your conversion would work nicely simply by dividing by 1000, rounding, and then adding 100. Something like: round ((0)/1000) + 100 All available functions in the expression ...

Rivera, I like using Wireshark for networking issues. It does pretty much everything anyone could ask for from a network analyzer, it's also very popular (lots of tutorial videos), and it's free. It won't be able to display HMI alarms or the faults provided by the Powerflex drives, if that's what ...

Crouch, The path should be right, but something in the MSG configuration must be wrong. I see you are requesting 16 INT's. Is the tag MSG_2020_N11 of a type that is at least 16 INT's large? Do you have the source element correctly set, or in other words are you sure N11:0 through N11:15 exist? - ...

Crouch, I believe you want 2, 10.0.2.33 1, takes you to the backplane of the PLC which you don't want since your ethernet port is embedded. There is a technote that covers CIP MSG Path configuration pretty well. Access Level: TechConnect ID: BF5708 Message CIP Paths for Logix Controllers ...

Philip, I haven't used the SE recipe control at all, but I have tried using various options in FTView ME, and at least for ME, I couldn't find a satisfactory solution. I assume the native recipe you mention refers to Recipe Plus for ME. Fun story about this and potential word of caution for others, ...

Philip, Thanks for the response. Most of the methodology I use for handling sequencing was established before I started with my company. However, back when we used SLC's (I wasn't actually around) we also used Wonderware for an HMI and the recipe data was stored in the HMI. After migration to CompactLogix ...

MSG Instruction vs Array Considerations

Hello all, I am looking at the option of using a MSG instruction with UDT tags instead of arrays for changing references to data, and I am just looking for general input / criticism of this before I look down this path further. The data of concern is sequence data similar to how the P_Seq instruction ...

Hi Fede_tecnico, I would suggest contacting your vendor who supplied the licenses to you or contacting Rockwell support directly. It's hard to say what you need to do since we don't know your license situation. Still, I will note that when you enter the product key and serial number in the software ...

Volk, This is not normally the case. I'm not sure exactly what is happening for you, but normally if you create a dynamic link for an object property you can go back to the same place and edit that property at anytime. The only time I can think of where I see the configuration removed like you have ...

Hi Moraes, I posted code for something similar to what you are asking for here in this thread: FT Optix Multiple Pop Up for same UDT The Popup and the Dialog Box (DialogType) both have a "Close" method so all you need to do is call that to close the popup.

Splash, If I'm understanding you correctly the issue is that you need to keep storing values even if the player is busy. The FIFO setup can definitely do this, you just need a large enough array to safely buffer and data that you might receive while the player is busy. Below is an image of ...

Patrick, Filip already answered your question, but I also wanted to mention you should be able to do VM to VM too for licensing. I use VirtualBox on my computer and I do this through an "internal network" configuration. If you are using some other virtualization software I suspect they probably have ...

Patrick, You cannot have a v11 and v13 install of FactoryTalk View Studio on the same computer. I use virtual machines to isolate different installs of FactoryTalk View Studio (you can point the virtual at your host for licensing). You can import displays as xml files from a newer version to an older ...

nguyen, I think you should probably contact Rockwell technical support for this issue. A couple other things to look at, when you say the CPU is empty, do you mean the PLC is scrolling "No Project" on the LED display? What is the status of the "OK" LED on the front? Is it green, solid red, flashing-red? ...
