Hi Julia, Yes it was Attribute 4 and I crosschecked the value with the EN2T Webpage (System Data/ Socket Object/Socket Object Attributes). I changed my code for the future to execute this command directly after the Create and changed the Value to 16384. I had some Problems with the .DN ...

Hi Julia, Thank You very much for your answer, I already changed some time ago the code to not retrigger the MSG while .EN. I have a cyclical task running and every Scan I check if the MSG is not Enabled and if it is not enabled I enable it. I will try to change the hardware soon ...

Hi Community, I have a Communication running between a PC and a 1756-L73 via a UDP Socket created on a 1756-EN2T. Everything seems to be running fine. The PC sends a request for new Data in a 1 second Interval and the PLC answers it immediately. Normally the PLC answers in about 40ms but ...

RE: Checking for text files on fileshare and processing them?

Hi Nickm, I would say it is possible. With FTV SE you can use the VBA Code of a Screen to both read the text file and write to the string array. To open the file you can use code like this: Dim a$ Open FILEPATH For Input As #1 Line Input #1, a$ 'Use a$ (= the Line of the textfile as String) ...

Hi Angella Yee, 1: I have a question. In "2)" you say, that you point to "the remote computer". Do you mean, that you point to the PC, that is running FT View SE Server or do you use a separate/dedicated PC as FactoryTalk Directory. Or differently asked: Did you check, that the used FactoryTalk ...

Hi Daniel, Did you check in the Switch if there is any logged event? In the Stratix 5700 switches I use, I can connect via a browser and see (for example) the Alert log or the Syslog in the explorer under the item "Monitor". You would need the username and the password for this switch. Please ...

Hi Bob, Please excuse my late reply. I would be very pleased to hear the results of such a test installation. Perhaps you can tell me if an existing FTView v7 and RSLogix v20 installation will be affected by an upgrade to Studio Logix Designer v32 (Or perhaps more likely v31? v32 seems to have ...

Hi Ryan Murphy, Thank you for your answer. As far as I understand the technote it says Studio 5000 Logix Designer with Version 32.04.00 and FactoryTalk View Site Edition with Version 11.00.00 should be compatible with Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1 64-Bit. But when I dig a little bit deeper, ...

Hi, I can't really give you examples in Ladder optic but I will try to explain them with some example values. LIM: With LIM you test if your TEST Value is within a specified range. Let's say LowLimit is 5 and HighLimit is 15. Test Value = 0, Output of the Instruction is negative, because 0 is not ...

Hi Thank you for your answer. Yes, I have seen this description. The Point is, that most of the possible causes are linked to the circumstance of the drive already moving or beginning to move. When we get the fault, the difference between the commanded speed and the encoder/resolver speed can't ...

Hi, We have a Problem with a PowerFlex 20P Drive in a Crane. Sometimes we get the Faultcode 94 (TorqPrv Spd Band) . As far as we understand the Fault it has something to do with Torque Proving.

Hi Jay Kay, I hope you mean Siemens SKD32 Electro-hydraulic actuators? The 2 Signals to open or close are 230V AC so you will either need a Relay Card (Like 1756-OX8I if you are using 1756 Racks) or any 24V DC Digital Output Card (Like 1756-OB32) to drive a Relay that can switch 230V AC. Is ...

Hi Gharat, Just to be clear. You have a value in 4-20mA and want to scale it to 0-27648 Units? So 4 mA is 0 and 20 mA is 27648? Then try this line: Scaled_Output := (Output_In_mA - 4) * (27648 / 16); Please get in touch if you have any further questions. If this answer helped you, please ...
