RE: TON never reaches DN, accumulator climbs a few ms then resets to 0

Probably a counter. One-shots belong in front of counters, not timers.

RE: Gantry axes on EtherCAT drift apart over a long move, TwinCAT distributed clocks off

Scan default, almost certainly. Nobody picks SM-Synchron for a gantry on purpose.

RE: TwinCAT 3 EtherCAT slaves drop to SAFEOP, WcState 1 and lost frames climbing

Drag chain rated cable in, one run, no joints in the carrier. CRC on 14 A stayed at zero over two days, no SAFEOP, no lost frames, no following error ...

RE: 30 step filling sequence, ladder is 400 rungs of state bits, move it to ST or SFC?

Yes, steps and transitions, the boxes. Split it. The sequence goes in SFC or an integer state machine in ST, one place that says which step and why it...

RE: CompactLogix 5069 misses a 5 ms reject pulse from a checkweigher, fine in Emulate

You're still sampling, so there's always a window. Three ways that actually close it, any brand. Put a pulse stretching relay between the checkweigher...

RE: MSG error 16#0005 path destination unknown to a second ControlLogix

Browse wrote 1,1,2,192.168.10.12,1,3 and the MSG went .DN first scan. 50 DINTs, 20ms or so round trip on a timed trigger. So my typed path ended at s...

RE: 1756-L73 major fault T06:C01 task watchdog expired after adding a routine

Not sure why 20ms specifically was chosen back then, but 23ms of work in a 10ms task is the problem, not the watchdog. Even at 500ms you'd overlap eve...

RE: 1769-L33ER watchdog fault, type 6 code 1, after adding an ST WHILE loop

You're choosing between two ways of not bounding the loop. Bound it. A FOR has a fixed range and finishes in one scan no matter what the data is: ```...

RE: TwinCAT 3 EtherCAT slaves drop to SAFEOP, WcState 1 and lost frames climbing

Reset the counters. One shift later, CRC on slave 14 port A is 312. Slave 13 port B zero, everything else zero. I've replaced the 8 m cable with a spa...

RE: S7-1500 ERROR LED on, diagnostics buffer area length error, CPU still in RUN

OB121 decides what the CPU does when the error happens, it doesn't stop the error. On the 1500 the default without OB121 is already to keep running an...

RE: Logix EQU on two REALs never goes true, 0.1 + 0.2 against a 0.3 setpoint

No status bit, nothing went wrong. Same in TIA, same in C. 0.1 in binary is a fraction that never ends, like a third in decimal, so the controller sto...

RE: S7-1200 HSC misses pulses from a 2 kHz encoder, counts about half

Then the counter's fine and the input filter is eating your pulses. Device configuration, CPU properties, DI 14/DQ 10, Digital inputs, Channel 0 and C...

RE: S7-1500 goes to STOP, maximum cycle time exceeded twice, OB 80, after a program change

There is your 300 ms, the loop, not the panel. 4000 UDT compares in one scan is a lot of work in OB1 and it lands on top of everything else, which is ...

RE: TON never reaches DN, accumulator climbs a few ms then resets to 0

It does. A one-shot makes the rung true for exactly one scan. Your TON gets one scan of enable, accumulates a few ms, then the rung goes false and a T...

RE: Micro820 start/stop rung, motor starts then drops out the instant I let go of Start

OTL and OTU would run, but you'd end up with two rungs deciding one output and nothing on the rung telling you why the motor's on. Same rule in every ...
