If you are unable to schedule or re-schedule your ControlNet network then the first thing to check is RSlinx to make sure that you can see all of your controller devices. If you are unable to see all of your controller nodes using RSLinx then you most likely have a cable issue, maybe a short, a broken cable, or a terminating resistor taken loose.

This process will show you how to convert a simple Studio 5000 program from one version back to an earlier version. Throughout the video, I explain the process & some limitations as well so please understand that editing an L5K has been a go-to process for me on many occasions. This process does change slightly on RSlogix 5000 but is actually a bit easier in my opinion. In the video, I am using two of the most current versions Studio 5000 V32 then changing it back to Studio 5000 31. There could be many reasons to do this & the support on the internet has been limited so I thought I would try to help by making this short video. It may sound funny but I go back I reference my own videos from time to time as I work on different projects because we all forget things as we grow into a better version of ourselves.

Get a servo motor encoder temperature using a simple message instruction for all Stegman hyperface encoders. This process is great for all model servo motors as they have been made with hyperface encoders for the last few years. In the video, I am using a sercos network with a B310 servo that uses a hyperface encoder which is why the system works easily. This video shows how to set up a non-CIP motion servo drive, meaning, a sercos communication drive. Sercos Message Instruction Setup: Message Type: SERCO IDN Read Service Type: Data Identification Number: P 0 302 Element: 7:Operation Value Data Type: INT Retrieving Encoder Temp on a Kinetix Servo Drive Tech note: https://rockwellautomation.custhelp.com/app/answers/answer_view/a_id/62638/loc/en_US Kinetix 5500/5700: Obtaining VP Series Motor Temperature Tech Note: https://rockwellautomation.custhelp.com/app/answers/answer_view/a_id/573908/loc/en_US In other words, if you use a 5500 or 5700 Kinetix then this will work with Hyperface encoders only, not the new VPC type motors. For any type of servo controller you use, make sure the motor encoder is a Stegman hyperface encoder. The Destination Element should be of type REAL for CIP motion servo drives. Note: The Class value is 42 for all CIP Axis attributes. The Instance will change with modules that have more than one axis per module, for example, the Kinetix 5700 dual-axis module. The instance value will depend on which axis the instruction is writing or reading. The Instance values are: 1 for Axis A 2 for the Auxiliary Feedback Axis A 3 for Axis B 4 for the Auxiliary Feedback Axis B. CIP Motion Message Setup: CIP Message Type: Generic CIP Service Type: Get Single Attribute Class: 42 Instance: Either 1 or 3 depending on if this is dual-axis Attribute: 282 Side Note: Attribute changes from 283 to 282 on CIP motion, on Sercos the Attribute is 282 as the video shows. If you are not using a motor with a Stegman hyperface encoder then please use drive executive or Connected Components WorkBench to connect with the servo drive, look for the parameter you want to use the try to use a GSV or Get System Values for that parameter. Note: If you are using a Kinetix 5500, 5700, 6200 servo controller then you can open the motor parameters in the axis properties in the motion group but it may be best to monitor the torque of the motor instead of the temperature. Monitoring torque greatly helps you see if the motor is under stress from mechanical wear or binding. 0:00 Overview talk about what servo are included 1:25 Explaining my servo setup 2:30 Explaining the Ladder Logic 2:45 Explaining the message instruction 4:50 Explaining the compute instruction 5:25 Math Formula for Celcius to Fahrenheit 6:00 Running the servo to increase the temperature 10:00 How to use this CIP motion 11:45 Recommended videos for you I hope it helped.

This is an example of a watchdog programming method, these can be done in many different ways. 0:00 Overview from that last video 0:28 Building watchdog produced side plc logic 3:15 Building watchdog consumed plc logic 6:00 Explaining the consumed data watchdog plc logic 6:45 Testing the consumed data watchdog logic 7:35 Building the consumed watchdog in machine 2 10:00 Testing the watchdog plc logic 14:25 Recommended videos for you Here is video one: https://youtu.be/NepNw8XyQhc I hope it helped.

Using a finite state machine to control a six-axis robot for a palletizer example with Studio 5000 & EasyPLC machine simulator. Rockwell Automation with an RSlinx OPC topic to connect to a machine simulator. In the video, we show how the system works along with explaining the PLC logic. 0:00 6-Axis Robot running 0:50 What is a finite state machine 1:07 Ladder logic State 0 controls 1:55 Axis tolerance check routine 2:40 Ladder logic State 1 controls 2:50 Ladder logic State 2 controls - Robot pick position 3:05 Explaing robot axis movement 4:25 Ladder logic State 3 controls - Vacuum on 4:35 Ladder logic State 4 controls - Robot home position 4:50 Ladder logic State 5 controls - Robot place position 5:40 Indirect addressing Robot layer positions 6:30 Robot position tolerance check logic 7:27 Explaining the indirect addressing 8:18 Ladder logic State 8 controls - Layer counting 8:22 Ladder logic State 9 controls - Repeat or finish 8:35 Ladder logic State 10 controls - Exit pallet 10:45 Watching the Robot place position close up 12:25 Recommended video for you I hope it helped.
