Hello i have a quick question for you guys if don't mind answering it. I opened a existing PLC5 program and then saved it as a different name and made some modifications and now that i've saved it. The new file i made the changes to is smaller then the original. The original is 1042KB and the...

I'm not sure if Siemens has retentive timers or not but if they do use them so if you have to shut down your chiller you don't lose the timer, cause if you use a normal timer when the chiller shuts down you will lose what ever time is timed on the timer.

NWBeaver i can't thank you enough. That first fix you recommended worked. I Thank you again for your input. [medal] [thumbsup]

Hey all. I know this forum is about PLC's but i was wondering if there is anybody that knows about RSView32, i keep getting an error when i try to open a new project. the Error reads as follows "unable to initialize DAO/jet db engine" any help would be greatly appriciated P.S. Is reinstalling...

Thanks alot NWBeaver this was alot of help to me. I just wasn't sure if i changed it to an array would i lose the other bits that are already set. So if i change those bits to read the new array there shouldn't be any trouble for me. I appricate the help.

can i change it to an array type without screwing up what else is already in point_C_Info or will i have to change them in the program to to read the new array value???

thanks sp1989, it's mapped to pointc_info but is there a way to take it farther to know exactly what tag in 5000 corresponds to N7:70/5, you help is greatly appriciated

The bit in the Rslogix500 is N7:70/7 and N7:70/5. Those are the running bits for the aerators and i know there already in the Rslogix5000 program because we can start and stop the aerator from the VTS which is connected to the Control Logix which is run by RSlogix5000 but i can't find the bit in...

yeah i've tried that but not quite sure how to write the program and do i need to put any code in the rslogix500 or can it all be done in rslogix5000

It's connected via Radio Modem so it would be wireless i guess

Hey all! I was wondering if i can use a bit from Rslogix500 to control a timer in Rslogix5000??? I have a SLC Rack in one building which has the running bit for the aerator i want to time, and the Control Logix rack in the other building is what i want reading the bit from the SLC cause the...

I don't think there is, i just am worried about having to go offline with the processor to change the values i'm trying to avoid stopping the processor cause it will cause bigger problems for me in the end.

When i change the values it goes back to the value that was originally in the tag. It is an analog module sorry for not specifing that in the description. I have BTW files but i can't find them to change them. I was thinking about putting a bit in there to make the BTR read after i made the...
