525 Faceplate and AOI:
Morning All.
I wanted to start a thread to talk about the faceplate and AOI Rockwell offers for
Factory Talk View ME to control their 525 drives. I downloaded the package from AB .com. It
contains numerous files including a main routine, parameter file, goto button, .gfx file and a user manual.
Issue #1. No alarming on configured project.
"""Configuration of “Fault_Msg” instruction.
Select :
Service Type: Get Attribute Single
Class : 97, Instance : 4, Attribute :1"""
This is a clip taken from the user instructions on page 13.
These values are incorrect and should be, Class : 93, Instance : 7, Attribute :9.
Issue #2.
Speed Reference:
I have attached a screen shot of the speed reference rung after I modified it to make it work. In the original as downloaded
AOI that CPT instruction for the speed reference had the tag "speedRef_Units" instead of the tag "SetSpeed_Program".
Likewise, the next rung in the AOI shows the operator speed refernce using the same tag "speedRef_Units"
in its CPT instruction. The odd thing here is that the speed refernece entered in on HMI faceplate in the operator mode sends
its speed reference value to the tag "speedRef_Units" and not to "SetSpeed_Oper" as I would expect.
Issue #3.
Displaying of values:
I am noticing that on my HMI faceplate when in run time. I see the frequency, current voltage and speed displayed with the wrong
decimal. Example: If current is 5.61 on the HMI I see 56.10. There are many instances of this in a single faceplate.
SO as you can see I have had a few issues with this AOI trial project. I expected to get a little more feedback from Rockwell on
this but it has been a while and I have not heard back from them. NS_Drives_Guy, I'm looking at you!! I simply want to know, were these AOI/Faceplates meant to be
"ready to go " as downloaded or is there expected reconfiguration of the AOI to make it work. I would think that things like multiplier
values would already be set to look at the 525's two decimal configuration. Perhaps there is something I am missing in setting these
values to display properly but they do not appear to be variables in the AOI.
As for the speed reference thing, I don't see how it could have possibly functioned as written except in the operator mode.
I am left wondering if I should use the faceplate again as it was not as seamless as I had hoped.
Any comments or criticism is welcomed.
Thanks
