RE: Modbus AOI parameter settings on a Compactlogix 5380 GuardLogix and message values missing

Posted By A N Mar 17, 2023 10:28:00 AM

As mentioned above, the only way to implement any AOI with Message Instructions is to use Rung Import. This will create all new message tags and will populate these with correct values. Some message values can be populated programmatically, but few are not, like tags and service code. So Import is ...

RE: Modbus AOI connects but fails to read Walchem Data while a simple test client works fine

Reading the manual linked above, I need to clarify some of my comments: 1. StationID (or Unit ID) should be set to 1 for this device (page 3) 2. Both functions 3 and 4 will give you the same result (page 4) 3. It does appear that you must use shift by -1 and use even number of registers. For ...

Mike, First, I would try a simple thing: Setup Modbus TCP Server AOI on the same or a different PLC and try to read from that server, just to verify that Client AOI is functioning correctly on your PLC. Next, I would try to use even addresses instead of odd: like 2304 or maybe 2306. Modbus ...

I am not familiar with this specific device, but quick search for the user manual points to this: Comm format set to Data-DINT assembly sizes should be at least 10 and 10 (32bit values) Also refer to this note: 11.6 Configuration with RSLogix 5000 When commissioning your EtherNet/IP™ network, ...

This is correct behavior called Rapid Fault/Restore. If supervisor detected 5 faults in 30 seconds, then it will disable port 2. Rapid faults must be addressed as it's usually a hardware or cabling issue.

Older Micrologix 1400 don't support "Set to Static", some will never respond to this CIP message with symptoms similar to what you have described. However, if you flash it to the most recent firmware, then it will work with "Set to Static" correctly. Since we are talking Micrologix, then worth to ...

RE: is it possible to export, edit the .CSV and then import the new tags?

I believe that Excel uses different line termination characters by default. If you try to use "Save As", then you will find at least 4 different CSV formats offered with one additional format under the "Export". You may need to experiment with them and maybe open CSV file in a Hex editor to see ...

Hello, There are no issues to use multiple sockets at the same time, it all should work. For example Modbus TCP code allows use of multiple Client AOIs at the same time without any issues Make sure that you are not assigning Local ports manually, just let firmware do that. For 5380 controller ...

RE: How to connect PanelView 5510 to host from different network by PLC?

I believe this device is ETAP, that uses the same housing as NATR. ETAP used to connect non-DLR capable device to DLR (PanelView in this example)

The original SFP module 1783-SFP1GLX is for Single Mode fiber. 1783-SFP100FX is for multimode fiber only, it will not work with Single mode fiber. You need to check what exact fiber you are using and then get 100MB SFP module to that type of fiber.

This example that you have is for ControlLogix. For CompactLogix 5380 you need to put only 2, 192.168.1.75 if controller is set for DLR. For dual IP mode, you need to use 3, 192.168.1.75 for port A1 or 4, 192.168.1.75 for port A2

There is obvious issue, media counters must be 0 I suspect that you have forced speed on gigabit ports or drives. Both should remain in Auto. I am not drives expert, this may need to be moved to to drives.

I can't give you troubleshooting advice without any fault details. But to your question, if Stratix GB ports are set to Auto and drives are set to Auto, then they will negotiate the 100/full without any issues. Forcing speed/duplex on one end and leaving Auto on another cable end will create ...

Nope, nobody asked or ever mentioned sending FF00 to set a bit. Unfortunately, you got misleading instructions from some spec and got confused. Let's move on, you know how to proceed now.

Again, you are missing the point that Modbus.org gives you data on the wire that is used by developers and for troubleshooting. Typical user does not need these details. Because all Modbus implementations including Windows simulators, use easy to use wrappers and GUI. Maybe this will convince ...

Whoever wrote this specification gave you misleading "on the wire" information instead of simple directions: Write value of "1" the coil 00173, slave 17 ,using command 5. Whatever actually goes on the wire is completely irrelevant to the user, unless someone wants to decode these packets. ...
