Unable to Schedule a ControlNet Network? Check the ControlNet Cable the Correct Way
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.

Changing Studio 5000 Versions Using an L5K | Studio 5000 V32 back to Studio 5000 V31
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.
It is my motto to be a better version of myself tomorrow than I am today & which requires moving forward, I am sure you know that after all, you are watching this video.
Thank you for the support.

Retrieving Encoder Temperature on a Kinetix Servo Drive Using Studio 5000 Message Instruction
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

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.

Using Pylogix to Read PLC Data through a Python3 GUI
Reading data from a Rockwell Automation controllogix processor using Pylogix from GitHub. In this example, we show the Pylogix GUI being used with Visual Studio 2019.
You can directly download this from GitHub or use your CMD to use the pip install from the GitHub page which has instructions there.
