    how to manage program changes with many programmers

    Thanks for the advice jde777. It is important for any of our plant personnel to be able to access any changes in the PLC code very quickly. Do you think that RSMACC will give them immediate information about what has been changed, where the changes are located (file # and rung #), and how to...

    First time - need Contrologix 5000 info

    Yep, these structures are familiar to me, but I've inherited a ControLogix program and it seems that the original programmer has created tags in a haphazard fashion. There are many arrays created that refer to PLC-5 type data tables, for example, tag arrays like N61[499], or B3[10].07 I'm not...

    First time - need Contrologix 5000 info

    Hello, This is my first post, so please be patient. I am an experienced PLC-3, PLC-5, and SLC programmer, but I am trying to learn Contrologix 5000 and am having some difficulty with the data structure. I am trying to teach myself, but I'm using a working processor and must be extremely...
