The 22-COMM-E is the EtherNet/IP daughter board for the PowerFlex40 and there is compatibility for all firmware as indicated below. Same story for 22-COMM-D for DeviceNet. In the Logix5000 ACD file, you will specify the PowerFlex40 in the IO tree..You will specify the "basement" functionality... ...

I think the "optional" part is "Encrypt Connection" and "Trust certificate". The SQL login must be either a Windows account (FTView16\Administrator) or a SQL account (sa). What Windows user account did you use to install SQL? SQL Server Management Studio is not required, but I install it as an ...

In the OT space... if I assume "zones and conduits" refers to CIP Security policies via FactoryTalk Policy manager... then yes, any switch will work because CIP Security is implemented in the end device and it has no dependency on the infrastructure or media system. If you wanted to use more of an ...

I watched the video. Null task is almost always >25% Overall, CPU is about 75%.... saw one spike to 83% but Null Task was still 17% Not sure what more you are trying to achieve, because I think you already in the "sweet spot". When you close and open your HMI pages, potentially, a lot of tags ...

Faisal On an L7, what you want is some Idle time... ideally 20%-25% idle time.... an no task overlap. You may find slowing down the user task will increase the % idle time... to a point and then it becomes less effective... so there is "sweet spot". Although the controller can have 32 user task with ...

xuanyang Redundancy has it's own firmware requirements. To put the L71 in v35 redundancy, you need v35.051 or v35.052, or v35.052. see release notes -------------------------------------------

RE: FV network distributed application- Alarm handling

Orsoo, By applying the timestamp closer to the alarm detection, you'll have better precision. When alarm detection is done at the Alarm server, that PC typically updates the alarms every 2 seconds so you'll see multiple alarms with the same timestamp. When alarm detection and timestamp are applied ...

RE: FTView SE V13: Rotatable Arrow with Text?

Try importing this as a GFX in your FTVSE project and look at the arrow rotation. Look in the XML... The arrow has two parts.. a line and a polyline. The polyline has a path, which is x,y paired data. path="195 230 211 236 195 243 195 230 " It's easier to modify the path in the XML than trying ...

Given 100ms of logic execution in a 200ms task would represent 50% CPU utilization... The period starts with 100ms of Logic.. finishes that logic and then doesn't have anything schedule so it it free to service comms and etc. for the next 100ms. During this 200ms period there is 1 transition from the ...

Ulvi, In the controller... there could be logic that changes these values... do a cross reference. External to the controller, there could be software that changes these values. If you have AssetCentre, just do a search the Audit and Diagnostic logs for those specific tag names. If the tags ...

I was assuming you had a quad-core 5580 controller... Clearly this is a dual-core 5570 controller where the Logix core does both user logic e.g. ladder logic and Class 3 (HMI) Comms. Since you have a continuous task, the 5570 is attempting to run your logic as fast as possible where the Class 3 (HMI) ...

It doesn't specifically say it works with 755TS so I would guess it it not tested/documented. Just by inspection I find the parameters organization in the TS is different...

Also.. search your ACD project for "unused" tags and delete them. You want to minimize what is getting cross-loaded. -------------------------------------------
