    Modicon 984B DRUM loadable conversion

    I am in the process of converting a 984B program to a Quantum platform. The 984B has a DRUM loadable. The drum loadable is not compatible with the Quantum. I think that I can replace it with the SCIF block, however the registers do not align. Has anyone found a quick way to get the registers to...

    PLC for use on a house? How could you use it?

    danw2, I believe that! No way the average HVAC, burglar alarm, lawn sprinker techs or the average electrician would have any idea on anything like this. It's great when you have it for yourself, but it takes a real interest in these systems to have them in a home. Unless you can afford to pay...

    Pulling Code from Modicon 84

    To download the program from a Micro 84, you will need the P370 plus a P371 program pack. Depending upon the memory size you would need a 001 or a 002 (iK or 2K). Bob www.deltaautomation.com

    PLC for use on a house? How could you use it?

    I used a Modicon 984A some years back. I had four 800 series remote I/O drops located in various buildings around my property. I used it for a burglar alarm, a lawn sprinkler system, swimming pool control, hot tub control, water heater control and various other uses such as flood light...

    modicon plc programming software tutorials

    Controlnot, Itsmoked is correct about the different types of languages that can be utilized. From what you are asking though, I think that you are most interested in ladder logic. I worked for Modicon for almost 20 years and can give you a slew of recommendations. Bob www.deltaautomation.com

    Modicon PLC 984-A145 & Stop code 0010H

    The 00002 error is a corrupt memory error. Possible sometimes to power up restart. If not, attempt a reload. If that doesn't work then there is a hard failure. The 0010 error is a configuration/traffic cop failure. Also may be caused by corrupt memory or hard failure. On some models with a...

    jgc1009, The difference between the "O" type controllers and the "E" type controllers is basically the O type utilize a removable memory and exec pack.The E type has those built in. The power supplies are different, and the all of the E types have a much larger memory capability. An E type will...

    modicon 984 "timeout on receive" error

    fletch05, Have you talked through the serial port to ANY other controller? Your cable works with other computers. Other computers with the same software, talk with this 984. Is this a compact laptop lite elite 4/40 rx? I have several of these and one in particular will not talk with a specific...

    MODICON Remote IO

    smartscrnexpert, I feel your pain! I know the service folks and their knowledge level currently left at Modicon. Unfortunately what you received was less than satisfactory service. That's why I left the company over 10 years ago. My company now does all of this, design, certify and/or...

    Proworx32 V2.0

    Taylor used to have a product called secureworx that did exactly that. Since Modicon purchased Taylor the product has died. Maybe you can find someone who has it for sale. (ebay amazon) Bob www.deltaautomation.com

    modicon 984 "timeout on receive" error

    fletcho5, I don't think that you need anything else for your software, and yes it's expensive. Exactly what is the model number of your 984? Something like AS-E984-685 or AS-984B-914? Also what is the part number of the cable that you're using? Can you talk to any other controller with this setup?

    MODICON Remote IO

    pc45, From my experience, most of your problems are still coming from the poor connections, cables and taps. If you utilize the spec'ed QUAD SHIELD cable, you should have negligable interference from the 480v. The issue in using fiber modems with the Modicon product is that you must still...

    MODICON Remote IO

    I mean to say use the "F" type connectors instead of the BNC type.

    modicon 984 "timeout on receive" error

    Made an error in the last post! Should read "In Dip, it usually remains at 1, in mem it could be 1-247" Sorry!

    modicon 984 "timeout on receive" error

    Are you positivly certain of the address? Modbus may have an address of 1-247. With the wrong address or any wrong parameter, you will return a time out error. All 984's default to 9600 baud, 7 data bits, 1 stop bit, even parity. Out of the box, the address is 1. On the slot mount 984's there is...

    MODICON Remote IO

    I was employed by Modicon for 20 years. I have worked on just about every type of system/application out there. There are certain rules that as the system gets larger, both in footage and in drop count, that you MUST adhear to. Drop cable and trunk cable type, minimim and maximim lengths, tap...
