    RSlogix 5000 address mapping to read in a PLC-5

    You can use RLL to move a 1 into each register for each boolean bit or use bit of word(ie boolean bit1 to word.bit). There is not a direct way to write multiple boolean into DI registers. Hope this helps.

    Quick RSLogix 5000 Question

    1 line of logic will work for you use a NEQ instruction Value1 not equal to value2, set a bit, branch around bit with a MOV instruction: move value1 to value2.

    ControlLogix 5K and PanelView 600 Serial Comms Issue

    Don't forget to config the PV+ serial port from the unit itself. I have only used ethernet with the PV+, serial with PV300 and PV+400 with micrologix. Let us know if they "Play Nice"

    Allen Bradley PanelView

    How old are the PV's. If using Panelbuilder32 go to "system" and then tag editor and copy, paste into excel. if older version, print out the i/o map.

    Recommendations or Standards on mounting height og HMI's

    Rule of Thumb, one would place the center of the (8" and up) screen at 5'6" from floor/platform. Smaller screens may need to be adjusted.

    SLC5/05 comms with Wonderware

    I will assume you have checked the "usage" button for the data files. Assuming there are no available N registers, I recommend you read in the discrete data as a word and then parse your data bits in Wonderware. configure the tag as: Slot1 = I:0.1 etc.

    SLC5/05 comms with Wonderware

    You may have the "Poll Data" time set too long,i.e. 1 second instead of 100ms, where as your discrete I/O may already be off. You can move your discrete data to an integer register to minimize communications. Wonderware reads blocks of data (1024 words)wether data is there or not. So, if you are...

    Anybody have experience communicating between Oracle and a PLC5? What did you use for the interface? Thanks in advance

    Micrologix random bits

    Why don't you just hard code the presets. Since you are not changing the presets, use a "MOV" instuction to constantly write the Presets.

    PLC 5 -1771 DB/B Card fault

    The Battery Low (BTL)indicator is on. Replace it, before it is too late. There is also a reset button under the wire arm tab. If the battery is bad and you shut off power you probably lost the program. Good luck

    Siemens S7 using ASi

    asi is pretty good once you get used to it. i used 2 asi's as remote i/o on a siemens TI processor. you have to configure each asi as a node using com profibus. then at each asi you configure the node # and press a few keys and it will scan to see what is connected. Learn the key sequence on...

    HMI Application using VB6.0

    use rslinx single node server, i have used this for DAQ reading/writing data to/from Excel from a micro logix 1500. you could do more with VB6.0

    Panelview 550 with DH+ or Remote I/O

    remote i/o uses a logical rack addressing scheme(rack,slot.word/bit) and DH+ allows you to access via tag name, direct word/bit address. hope this helps.

    SLC 5/04 and TI-565 communication

    AB has a "black box" that translates ti to ab. it is around $500 U.S. You would have to config both for 422. i have used this box with ti545 to a pv1000 but it was with rs232.
