RE: 1756-EN2T at 100 percent CPU on its webpage, FactoryTalk View SE clients time out

Deadband helps the historian, but the fix is a second module. Stick a 1756-EN2T, or an EN2TR, in a spare slot with its own address, move the SE server...

RE: 1769-L33ER faults type 4 code 20 when the recipe number from the HMI reaches 20

Then guard it before it's used, every time, and never let an operator number be an index directly: ``` IF (RecipeNo >= 1) AND (RecipeNo <= 20) ...

RE: 1769-L33ER loads a months-old program from the SD card after every power cycle

Store after every download is the one people forget. User Initiated is safer if the card is only a backup.

RE: 1756-L71 bottle count is exactly double on one line, ONS and ADD, sensor is clean

Startup_Old is a leftover from commissioning. Pretty sure someone copied the count in for testing and forgot about it. Delete that JSR, or the whole r...

RE: Eleven remote racks drop 16#0204 at line start-up, 1756-EN2T fine once running

There it is. 2 ms on a discrete rack does nothing for the process and costs about 500 packets a second per rack each way. Eleven racks and twelve driv...

RE: CompactLogix solenoid output chatters, rung is true in one place and false in another

sergio74 has it. Two OTEs on one tag is a double coil. Rung 14 writes it on, Reject_Old rung 3 writes it off later in the same scan. The buzz is a Log...

RE: 1756-L71S faults with safety partner missing after a chassis rebuild, L7SP is in the rack

then the drawing is wrong and the old chassis was right. The 1756-L7SP is not a normal module, it works with the primary as a pair and it has to be in...

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

That's all it means. The path is a list of hops: 1,1 is A's backplane to slot 1, the EN2T. 2,192.168.10.12 is out that module's Ethernet port to B's E...

RE: PowerFlex 525 F048 params defaulted after a firmware flash

A major revision flash on the 525 defaults the parameter set, so F048 after 5.x to 7.x is expected. If I remember right the release notes say so, nobo...

RE: Replacement 1734-OB8S never connects, SNN mismatch, safety task inoperable

That's the whole thing. The new module comes from the box with no SNN and nobody owning it, and your 1769-L33 is set to Configure Only When No Safety ...

RE: PanelView Plus 6 clock 11 minutes off, alarm timestamps disagree with the PLC

Three clocks, three answers. The terminal keeps its own RTC and it drifts, they all do, a few minutes a year is normal. Nothing you set by hand will h...

RE: 1769-L33ER faults type 4 code 20 when the recipe number from the HMI reaches 20

That's it exactly. Is RecipeNo a DINT or an INT coming from the panel, and has the numeric entry on the panel got min and max set?
