RE: Migrating from E3 to E300 in E3/E3+ emulation with RSNetWorx v21 and RSLogix 5000 v16

You'll have to address the differences in the IO Assemblies. Although you can do some custom mapping in the DeviceNet Scanlist, I'd do it in the PLC because that would be the least confusing for the next person. Basically use the standard E300 IO mapping in the DeviceNet Scanlist and fix your PLC logic ...

E300 does not have an emulation mode for E1. You can replace the E1 with an E300, but that's an engineered solution because there are many differences... mechanically and etc. For the DeviceNet aspects, you'd use RSNetworx to remove the E1 from the scanlist and replace it with the E300. ------------ ...

Make sure you have the latest minor revision e.g. Version 33.04.00 (released 10/2024) Periodically, a minor revision is released. I don't recall the version, but recently, the AOPs were redone to be more web-based. Not only did this impact the actual AOP, but also the container which host the ...

You can put the GSV in a 1ms task, but it's just checking in on the IO Scanner which is communicating to the IO at the RPI rate. Assuming the Point IO has a 20ms RPI, and the IO timeout is 4x the RPI..,. The IO timeout is 80ms. Rather than creating a user program to run at fast periodic rate with GSV ...

The IO scanner manages the IO connections to everything in the IO tree. The GSV gets the status from this IO scanner where the GSV result is written the EntryStatus, INT tag. You really don't need the GSV EntryStatus on the Point IO because the IO input tag from the 1734 is already providing the communications ...

As mentioned, most of the IO product already have status provided in the Input tag structure so you generally do not need a GSV for the IO modules. VFDs and power devices don't have this status embedded in the input assembly data, so use GSVs to get the entry status for power devices. I would suggest ...

When I think of immediate, I think of a weight scale that is constantly TXing the current weight.... say 8 ASCII characters in one TX. If you miss one TX or read the same TX twice, it doesn't matter because the scale is constantly jittering and constantly updating. You don't have to poll for that data ...
