FTLinx, RSLinx Enterprise, ViewME – DF1 to SLC-500 Channel 0

When looking to upgrade older PanelView 550 or 600 models, it’s common to consider the PanelView Plus 600 as a suitable replacement. For starters, most of the new PVPlus models will fit in the older PanelView cutouts. And, Panelbuilder32 programs import into View Studio mostly intact. Note: For more information about migrating PanelView 550’s, see this blog article HERE. However, ...

Migrate / Convert - Fixed SLC-500 to a MicroLogix

Migrate / Convert – Fixed SLC-500 to a MicroLogix

Recently a client called asking what I thought would be the best PLC to replace a Fixed SLC-500. Specifically he was looking to replace a 1747-L40A. To pick a replacement we first needed to understand what this part number represents, and we covered this in detail in our last article here. We found that the 1747-L40A consisted of (24) 120VAC inputs, (16) AC/DC relay outputs, and ...

Welcome to The Automation Blog’s “Flashback Friday!” Today I’m highlighting my RSLogix 500 “Providence Beer” demo. The year was 1996 and I was tasked with designing a “hands-on” seminar for the new PanelView 550. The hands-on labs I needed to create would include setting up communications, as well as basic screen creation. In order to do this, I would need several PLC’s running some kind of simulation ...
