Thanks for the clarifications. And translation to the new RA format.
That would be the Rockwell Knowledgebase. The technote is Techconnect status, which means you need a support contract with rockwell to see it anyway.
Our support contract expired before I hired in here. I've asked for a Studio 5000 seat, but management doesn't see the need. It will bite them someday, but probably after I'm retired. I do have a rockwell account (15+ character passwords are really not that much more secure than 8, btw).
And a file not being able to be opened by Micro starter lite means it wasn't made for a processor that is supported by Microstarter lite like the 1000 or 1100.
It's a licensed copy of RSLogix Micro Developer, but the support contract is expired so it can't be upgraded to the latest version.
It talks to the 5 different models of MicroLogix controllers we have, no problem - well, except having to unplug the touch screen and use a USB-Serial adapter with a CBL-PM02 on the controllers with no ethernet onboard (they definitely won't spend $500-$1000 for an ethernet I/O card... the machines are 50+ years old, and were integrated to touch screens and controllers, from push buttons and relay logic).
Are you having issues with doing a conversion in rslogix 500
The problem I have currently is the only 1:1 shaft we could access to add the encoder onto is turning the 'wrong' way, so the position sequence goes 0, 359, 358, 357... and rather than engineering the mount to drive the encoder in the other direction, I was hoping to reverse the sequence programmatically more-elegantly than using
N63:1 EQU 359 MOV 1 to N63:2
N63:1 EQU 358 MOV 2 to N63:2
N63:1 EQU 357 MOV 3 to N63:2
N63:1 EQU 356 MOV 4 to N63:2
... 355 more lines (0 is 0 in both directions)
say, using some pre-filled integer files with sequencer and #address arrays (but integer files are limited to 256 elements, for one thing).
It's not a problem with control of functions... we can just use the higher side of the window first with LIM instructions; it's only a matter of displaying the position in the correct sequence on the touchscreen for the machine operator.
