Found In Egroup: Automation Control \ view thread
I am considering my Rockwell HMI options. I have used the PanelView 800 series on past projects. To be honest, not bad for for an 'entry level' HMI from Rockwell. I am trying to save myself and my client some money and programming time for the initial cost of the project but also year over year investment ...

RE: 1734-Point IO vs 1756-RIO

I threw some stuff into Proposal Works just to get an idea of status, availability, and cost (list price)... 1734-Point IO are all 'Active'. Communications module 1734-AENTR has a lead time of 29 days. (2) 1734-IB8's and (2) 1734-OB8's have a 1-5 day lead. Cost: +/- $1500. Fewer IO/module and the rack ...

Mixed 5069 IO Modules - FPD Modules

Found In Egroup: Automation Control \ view thread
I am designing a 5069-L330ERMS rack with multiple Safe IO 24V Cards and Standard 24V Cards. I have to incorporate (1) 5069-IA16 and (2) 5069-IF8 cards. I believe I need a 5069-FPD in the previous slot before the 5069-IA16. Do I need another FPD after the IA16 for the (2) IF8's? The prints for the original ...

Funny enough that is the exact same table my local distributor supplied me for the same question. If the 249mA is all inclusive, I'll be okay. If not and I can't get a straight answer then I need to find an alternate. ------------------------------ Peter Sherick P Squared Automation, ltd. -------- ...

GLaDOS, That is the same table as I found. That's the load for the Beacon but nothing for the Audible Alarm. Thanks for looking! ------------------------------ Peter Sherick P Squared Automation, ltd. ------------------------------

I received an answer from Mike at TechConnect: All 3 Rockwell 5069 Series Digital Input Modules are SINKING Input Modules and thus cannot be used with NPN Sensors. Thanks for the sanity check. ------------------------------ Peter Sherick P Squared Automation, ltd. ---------------------- ...

Hello, I have a 5069-IB16 (Slot 5) not seeing inputs. All NPN Sensors are being used on this card. When a sensor is ON (made), I see +24V DC. When the same sensor is OFF, I see +19V DC. When uncoupled from the Module, ON = +24V DC. OFF = 0V DC. (This tells me the field wiring is correct.) ...

Hello, Since you are using Latch/Unlatch bits, there is no need to 'Latch' you 'Motor_Start_Request' with itself. (Unnecessary redundancy). I also suggest moving your one-shot inside of your branches. This will allow Floats 1 & 2 to trigger (pulse) your start request when Float 2 Closes. With ...

I do not have the hardware to test my screen layouts. I am establishing my standard global items for each individual screen (similar to PV+ applications). With the 800 series there are no 'global objects'. My question is this... Is there a way of viewing/testing screens without the actual hardware? ...

Within your tag menus (Controller or Local/Program) you should be able to go to the Monitor Tags tab and change the 'Style' of the tag. By doing so, you should not need to convert the file at all. Above 'CP400:1:I' is an Allen Bradley Point-IO Digital Input Module. I do not know the ...
