BobLfoot replied to Whoopsie's topic in Allen Bradley
Here is what comes to mind. Run the PID all the time. Use a setpoint of zero and a P of 25 or some huge number when the pump is off. When the pump turns on use your true SP and a lower / realistic P value.- Joe E. liked a post in a topic: AB MicroLogix 1200 Backup

Load a program FANUC
BobLfoot replied to LiamD's topic in Robots
Assuming you have the appropriate functions activated moving the program from one Fanuc robot to another should be accomplished with Roboguide quite easily. An alternative to using Robotguide would be FTP. You should also have a USB port on the controller to move files with a thumb drive and the teach pendant. Fanuc CRC should be able to offer best guidance.Factory Talk HMI tag source
BobLfoot replied to CanaQat's topic in HMI & SCADA
CanaQat here's what I can see from what you posted. 1) The data from all your DeviceNet Devices into the PLC comes to the PLC through the tag DNET_ENET2:I 2) Data from the device on Node 2 is in DNET_ENET2:I.Davice[2] 3) Data from the device on Node 3 is in DNET_ENET2:I.Davice[3] 4) How the devices are mapped is done in RSNetworx on the I/O Data tab of each device. I strongly suspect the I/O Data tab of Node 2 is different from Nodes 3 and 4. If so I'd make node 2 approximate 3 & 4. If not I'm equally stumped.RSView32 Alarm Suppression on Startup
BobLfoot replied to python01's topic in Allen Bradley
Been a while since I worked on RSView 32, but in the manual for setting up tags it has the option of initial value. If you set the initial value to non-zero that should prevent faulting and then when it reads you'll get actual state and it will fault if is needs to.

BobLfoot replied to Lakshmi's topic in Allen Bradley
Lakshmi requesting some clarification please? 1) Can you specify what you mean by 32K and 16K PLC? 2) What catalog number processors are you dealing with? 3) What communication protocol are you using? DH+, DH485, Serial, Ethernet? 4) Describe what means using RSView32 and FTView simultaneously to same PLC. Is this PC1 running RSView32, PC2 running FTView and both looking at PLC1? Your models and specific case will help clear things up, but first thought is you're swamping the comm overhead time slice and/or exceeing the permitted connections count,Installing FTV ME 6.1

BobLfoot replied to msolorzano's topic in Allen Bradley
I'm assuming that the Fuel Tank System is an 'island' in that it is remote from the office by 1/3 of a kilometer. While wireless sounds nice and there are ton's of options to implement wireless, noise and atmospheric interference become an issue. My recommendation would be to run fibre from Office to Tank island and connect the SLC 5/05 Ethernet to the fiber with s Stratix 8000 Switch {https://ab.rockwellautomation.com/Networks-and-Communications/Stratix-8000-Ethernet-Switches} or a Moxa Converter {https://shopmoxa.neteon.net/moxa/ethernet-fiber-media-converters-imc-series/moxa-imc-101-m-sc.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIk66Aq5DE3wIVUr7ACh0QbgVSEAQYAiABEgJ4ZfD_BwE} on each end. This would allow your programming of the SLC 5/05 from the office. It would also allow you to use a Panelview HMI to display level and other data on a real time screen in the office. Panelview can also print trends to standrd printers. You might also connect the SLC 5.05 to your data historian program {OSISoft PI would be one}.Device Level Ring Object Class 0x47

Did some quick reading here - {https://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/um/20comm-um015_-en-p.pdf) and learned that 4 is a rapid fault reset cycle. Further Reading here - {https://rockwellautomation.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/494704/page/2} list system noise as the most common cause of a 4. I also found a full DLR manual here {https://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/at/enet-at007_-en-p.pdf}. Happy New Year and good reading.1756-OA16 I.FuseBlown bits
BobLfoot replied to aj2004's topic in Allen Bradley
Welcome to the forum AJ. What I am reading on page sixty of the 1756 manuals {https://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/um/1756-um058_-en-p.pdf} says that the Fuse Blown bits only apply to certain models and 1756-OA16 isn't one of them. Please check it out for yourself. I think this is a case of 'one size fits all' I/O structure and not every feature is useful for every model.how to convert RsLogix 5000 program versions
BobLfoot replied to dynamicboy's topic in Allen Bradley
hopefully your spare parts crib / storeroom has spare units of both the CPU and ControlNet Module. Although slightly more difficult, I've learned that for critical operations having an old version CPU (v10 in your case) and a new version CPU (v16 in your case) and being able to quickly swap units in and out, gains you maximum uptime and usually makes the bosses happier when trying something like this.Not able to establish DDE connection
BobLfoot replied to Tay ChengYong's topic in Allen Bradley
It's a lot of work and further learning required, but switching from DDE to OPC would give you a system that is portable onto newer OS without issues.AB MicroLogix 1200 Backup
BobLfoot replied to Michael137's topic in Allen Bradley
Just adding mi dos centavos, but if you do get an uploaded backup copy of the program. Find a day and spend it documenting the inputs and outputs. Assuming you got schematics with the machine, you can at least document real world I/O in your copy. From there a good programmer can deduce what 50% or better of the internals do. I've found some documentation is better then none, even while not ideal.

Large robots: 60lbs +
There is nothing like the thrill of seeing two large machines hitting each other with the force of a small car wreck. When most people think of combat robots it is these larger machines which first cross your mind. If you are fortunate to live near one of the large robotic events these machines can be fun builds, but at the same time the level of engineering required can be quite difficult. These large machines can also cost quite a bit of money. When you commit to building a machine this size you are committing at least $1000, and in many cases much more. I would estimate that your average heavy weight (220lbs) would cost a builder $4000-$5000 to build a competitive machine, and it is not uncommon to see builders spend upwards of $15,000+ on their machines over the course of a few years. In the days when combat robotics was televised there were many sponsorship opportunities which would subsidize the cost, unfortunately now as a builder you will be on your own.
On the good side of larger machines is that many times you can find surplus parts online which can reduce the cost of the machine. Using off the shelf components such as items from http://www.teamwhyachi.com/ or http://www.AndyMark.biz can help make things easier. There are more of these components available for larger machines. Those Larger machines also have the added ability for service, fixing a machine is much easier the larger it is. Building a large robot can be both fun and enjoyable and you wont regret being able to say 'I have a 120 lb battlebot in my garage'
Small Robot:
Building a small robot can be alot of fun but also a good challenge, with a restricted weight limit it makes every part on the machine to be critically thought about and designed. Most people are drawn to these smaller machines because of the frequency of competitions for them as well as the ability to transport them easily. While it is the common misconception that small robots are cheap they can be just as expensive as their larger counterparts. Alot of times the small electronics required for these can cost quite a bit as compared to larger components.
