So after a few months of hounding my supplier I got a few, these are 830 and I also got a couple analog inputs and outputs, last week I download the software, its BIG but it has the newest version of RSLinx and its needed as it has a few new drivers 2.57.00.15
First impression, very nice, I like the plug in modules in the top (similar to the S7 1200) uses a standard A to B USB cable and has TWO ports standard also a very nice feature easy for programming when plug into the HMI, so as far as the hardware side a BIG
Now lets talk software, I have it running on Windows 7 32bit and runs great, there is a known issues page that comes with the release notes that is a must read, this version will not run on a 64bit system (next will in the notes), the program is more like RSLogix 5000 than 500, FBD is very nice.. I have not tried the ST yet.
I do have a few problems that I would like to fix but the help file is not the best set up... I hope AB will make a few sample programs, I have search but have not found them
So I guess my question is anyone else trying it?
I need some information on setting up the scaling and how to make a constant, it looks like the PLC/Software detected the analog I/O
I need to take the input word and write it to the output word.... just testing my wiring of the I/O, I should have 0-10 Vdc on input 0 and the same on output 0
I think if they had a PDF overview it would help, what I have found is not very helpful, the 'How Do I' is a online help that needs help... or I just need to learn how to use the how to
