    Controllogix 1756-L63 Redundancy Type 12 Error

    Eddie, How did you manage to clear the fault with the Key switch? Did you check using RS logix was it the type 12 code 32 ? So far rockwell are saying - Which won;t work as we need to be able to save the parameters....... QUOTE - "' When a disqualified processor is powered down... it knows...

    Controllogix Redundancy

    Working with 1765-L62's and SRM modules using F/w 16.53 Can any tell me is there is a programatic was to force a slave (thats is DISQ) to do the following : Step1) WIPE Current Program Step2) Clear all Major Faults Step3) Initiate Crossload from PRIM PLC Step4) Initiate Sync & Sync This...

    Controllogix 1756-L63 Redundancy Type 12 Error

    DJS- I have been through the Chapter 9 of the 5000 Ref Manual and this does not cover type 12 and doesn;t tell you which handler to use for type 12. Also speaking to Rockwell UK ( they as speaking to rockwell USA).

    Controllogix 1756-L63 Redundancy Type 12 Error

    Speed of change over is fine, the problem occurs when we shut down our sysem as the network switches go down first then the CPU's this kills the redundancy then when you bring the system back up you may or may not get this error depending on which cpu starts first. Usually this error occurs...

    Standard Symbols

    Some one somewhere must have a PDF file with the list of the most common symbols for circuit diagrams, I had a book (from the IEEIE) when I was at uni that had quite a few typical symbols.

    Flashless Digital Camera Chips

    Can any one tell me how to get one of these to work in low light conditions. (Semi darkness) Can they take infra red photos or do you get infra red versions?

    1V p-p sine > TTL signal conversion

    You could use an opamp then schimtt trigger Use the opamp to gain the signal up to 0 - 4.5~5v then run it through a schmitt trigger to square it off this would then become a TTL square wave. Andy

    S7- Soucre Code for Scale Routine

    Can any one help, I'm looking for source code for the generic Scale routine that comes with the S7-300 range of PLC's. Reason being that I want to edit and change it to improve it so that I can calibrate between any two points rather than fixed points. Andy

    Cimplicity OPC Speed Problem

    We have Cimplicity Plant edition interfaced to Seimens S7-300 PLC through the siemens PCMCIA LINK and an OPC server called Merz. THIS IS BLOODY SLOW. If we take one tag only in Cimplicity (or Merz) we can get it to refresh 5 times a second. If we take 5 points the refresh drops to about just...

    Repair of Siemens S7 PLC PCMICA Interface

    I have two siemens PCMICA to MPi interfaces for S7 PLC. they both have a "dongle" that connect between the pcmcia card and the Profibus mpi cable (9 way shell) Siemens part number "C79459-A1890-A10 CP 5511 HW Adapter" both of these uints ARE Faulty. Can any one tell me...

    To answer all the Pervious questions in one. There is only one node on the MPI network and we are using a laptop as the "PG" not a siemens system but a panasonic toughbook(High Spec) running Win2k. I have verified the points in the quick client and they all work but very slowly. I...
