@@ShaneWelcher one question, how did you add another controller. I know you could add A New module in the I/O tree, but how does it know that module is able to be used? I'm referring to the emulator. Thanks
Great video here as usual Shane. Thanks for taking the time to put it together. Its more common for me to see MSG Read instructions between CLX and as a part of error checking we use a heart beat rolling number to make sure its constantly changing. Apart from the err. bit on the MSG instruction, what alternative way can one use for a MSG Write to check that data is being sent successfully? Was thinking a check bit to write and read back but was hoping there was another way using MSG write alone? Your thoughts and feedback are always appreciated.
Have both programs have logic that counts a pulse to detect a heartbeat and if the count stops then fault. If you want to check data from another plc program then it works the same as a read/write
Awesome video Thanks! At my company we use messaging quite a bit. We use the read messages only so we have like PLT_TO_REC tag we would write to in pelleting plc and in receiving plc have a message that uses REC_FROM_PLT as destination in message and the source would be PLT_TO_REC and we use a message timer and use limits to space out messages works nice. If you could explain the numbering for the path that would be nice always confusing
Hey Shane, thanks for the informative video. Just wondering would it be possible to use the Bool tag instead of an Double integer and use the message instruction to read from another PLC. For example if I wanted a my system to stop if an interlock occurs on a downtream PLC?
Well if I put it into words I’m trying not to use a hardwired interlock and was trying to figure out the messaging side. Just another question, since you had both processors in the same tree, and I had to PLC’s connected over Ethernet, would I be able to use the tag of another PLC like you did using the Machine_bit2
Is it possible to use PLC messaging between two PLC’s that have different IP ranges for example can I use messaging between two PLC’s with IP addresses 192.168.1.2 and 172.18.2.112?
Only if you have a switch that creates a connection like a NAT (network translation table) or you have a gateway PLC rack that has the two IP address ranges on it to use as a through put to talk through the back plain of the plc rack. Hope this help.

Thanks
@@jessem7966 I added another emulated processor in another slot, increased the emulated slots to the max
Thanks!
Thank you
Thanks once again !!!
Glad to help
Very informative video
Thank you very much❤

By using logic in each PLC processor that monitors and updates a rolling number and if it stops for a set time frame then fault.

What do you mean numbering of the path?
Do you mean the message attributes?
Hi. Thanks for your video.
What about msg instruction using sercos network
This video should help

@@ShaneWelcher thank you so much
Could you do a video on vba to read and write plc tags?
I have videos on that, use the search tab on my channel then type in "VBA Code"
All of the videos will appear
Hello Mr. thank you for your video, I have a studio 5000 V28.0 and I need to open V31 program to read only is it possible??
Not possible, you need to have the version of the software that matches the PLC program if the PLC program is a higher version.

Yes but it's better to have a Dint because you might need growth in the future
@@Abdiedits_ yes

@@ShaneWelcher Thank you very much!
Pls i want the software package of sudio 5000
Please buy it
I am getting this error Failed to modify module properties unknown transaction error
How does your question pretain to what was taught in this video?
@@ShaneWelcher I am using a 1756-L73S controller when adding on the IO tree it's showing error actually I am trying Message Instruction
