Not sure what release was on that old image, but since you asked about v15, I tried both v13 (server 2019) and v15 (server 2022) and they were both successful.

That's not the results that I got. I was using an older image that had both PB32 and FTVME and it worked fine.

The root cause is the PanelBuilder32 application configuration. The Node Type field in the communication settings was set to Unknown rather than specifying the actual controller type. FactoryTalk View Studio wil create all tags as local Memory tags rather than Device tags pointing to the PLC/SLC. ...

Automation Device = one MAC ID Multiport Automation Device = more than one MAC ID. Use this for a linear segment e.g. Device Level Ring, or fanning our via a (unmanaged) switch (star) -------------------------------------------

Reboot the data server (RSLinx/FTLinx). If that doesn't fix it then look at the specific tags to determine the source... Is it an HMI tag? or a direct reference to a controller (via a shortcut in FTLinx and which controller). -------------------------------------------

RE: Transfer of input/output data via the 1769-AENTR Adapter via EthernetIP network.

Reading directly from chassis-based IO like the 1769 is generally not documented and not supported. The exception would be 1734, and 1794. I'm not saying it's impossible, but the more easy and supportible route is to read the data from the controller that owns the IO. ------------------------------- ...

I would suggest sending it over to tech support as follows: Tech support needs to replicate and document the issue before it ever gets to engineering. If you can provide a sample to illustrate how is works fine with an EtherNet/IP module but does not work the same with the embedded port, that will ...

RE: 755TL fan filter

Found In Egroup: Drives, Motion Control & Low Voltage Products \ view thread
Why is the exhaust filtered? To maintain a NEMA 12 rating, the enclosure must be sealed against airborne dust, dirt, and dripping non-corrosive liquids. Because a fan-cooled system actively pulls ambient air into the enclosure, you must have both a filtered intake and a filtered exhaust.. see also Hammond ...

I'm not a drives guy... Can you explain the section that you marked in the photo? It looks like an MCC section? I don't see anything like that in the PF755TL document. Generally air comes in the filter on the bottom and exhaust out the top hat. I would expect the inlet filter (bottom half of the door) ...

I would structure the data in each of the 60 M850's so each one looks like an IO device with an input table (status) and and output table (commands) so that you can read the whole input block with one connection and write the whole output block with another connection. Basically you should pack all the ...
