I’d love to see a video some day on connecting a serial to Ethernet/IP gateway to legacy products that only have a serial port to do supervisory data collection on stopped/running/faulted data and pressure temperature data without adding a second set of sensors just for SCADA. Many of these legacy devices have this information available by serial with hyper terminal or putty, with no clear way for the average tech to pull this data into Logix.
Hi Tim, great video once again, love the fact that you're making your programming live, therefore great opportunities for all of us to learn from mistakes. Question, is it possible to control a servo drive and a servo motor from another maker (Not AB) using Studio 5000 ?
At your convenience, could you go into the check the control tag of the external hardware within the Controller scope (e.g. PLCnext:C)? For some reason every generic Ethernet module I create has a control array of SINT[500]. I know that is not a lot of memory usage, but if I have a lot of external modules that starts to add up. I am curious if it is something on my end. Good stream. Keep up the good work. Edit: Also, I tried using an Anybus>CANOpen converter once. I ended up just giving up.
@@TimWilborne I’m very close to having it done. But I’m missing how to write to the PDI object directly as the destination and was hoping you had some experience 😊 I’m going to figure this out.
It can be a bit of an Easter egg hunt depending on how poor a manufacturers documentation is but they are specific to Ethernet IP and they are usually labeled with these terms
Is there a way to communicate Ohaus scale using its ethernet module, since there is no eds file? I am using scout ohaus weighing scale with ethernet. Thanks before
I had my first experience with this hooking up a Mitsubishi drive and I can say I almost think it was easier then hooking up the Allen Bradley drives to there own programs.
We ran the generic Ethernet card generic our programer wanted to help teach me the whole process. Looking into the bits on the drive info and connecting those in to our program
Hi Tim, can i know why if i already add EDS file and create the module, but the tagging i get is ConnetionFault and Data only, it does not show the status for the device for example: i use Cognex vision and i didnt get the tagging like "Status.Online" for that device in Studio 5000.

That would be a good one. Real Time Automation has some great products for that.
Fyi, most of the Productivity 2000 & I believe all of the Productivity 3000 PLCs have digital readouts on the analog cards!
Nice!

I used a YRG Robotics servo and motor for this livestream. It is much easier than Kinetix. Here is a link.

No, mine shows 400 SINT also despite entering 1. Never looked at that before, not sure why it does that.
Sir, have you tried to receive Data from Siemens 1500 PLC to Allen Bradley PLC.
Yes, it supports Ethernet/IP. It is on the list to make a video about.
@@TimWilborne sir please Share system configuration of Data exchange between Siemens to Allen Bradley and Allen Bradley to Siemens
Soon, we are working on a Siemens video series
Tim, have you ever used the MSG instruction to modify the PDI Objects of a third party IO?
No, I'm not familiar with that

I saw your post on PLCs.net. Hopefully someone there will know.
Hey Tim. Where are the assembly instances typically located in the manuals and is that what all the manufacturers call them?

I haven't heard of that one. Look for Ethernet/IP or Modbus TCP options available
hello sir , what is the meaing of assembly instance (input for 110 and ouput for 100) during generic module creation?
Think of it as the memory location that the PLC should store and resource the data from
yes sir...that memory location 100 or something is my wish or any particular address with respect to device@@TimWilborne

Great to hear. The Mitsubishi have an add-on instruction for it or did you use the generic ethernet driver?

Is it showing the icon without a red x?
Hey Tim, how are you talking to all the devices? Are you using a managed or unmanaged switch ethernet device?
Unmanaged
Does CCW have similar functionality for connecting 3rd party devices?
Yes, but not exactly the same. I plan on hitting that in a later video.
Great video
Thanks!
