Basics01b - Configuring RSLinx Drivers, A PLC Tutorial

[@sulingli5517]

The best I ever seen to config the communication. Thank you!

[@tylerk6543]

This was very thorough and educational. Thank you very much as you just helped a large project in a Brazilian Copper mine and we could not have done it without you.

[@plcprofessor]

Your welcome! The project sounds very interesting. Please keep me posted on the project. I wish I was there for a World Cup match or two.

Your teaching style is excellent. Thank you for sharing!

[@plchacker]

Love your graphics. This is much better than the older version.

[@dougm1985]

picked up a few things that i didn't know. thanks. love the channel , just found it.

[@plcprofessor]

Awesome, thank you!

[@engivan7896]

Thank you for all the professional explanation

[@cedargroves]

Good stuff spoken in an easy to understand manner! Thank you Sir!!

[@kmerkingdomfilms]

I really like the way you teach. Thank you.

[@plcprofessor]

Thank you, the pleasure is mine.

[@santanacasas1]

Thanks man for the information I really appreciate it

[@mattgallagher7105]

Thank you for this info!! My Chem Eng degree at Drexel set me back 100k. I graduated not ever hearing what a PLC was. I'm finding out it's an important subject if you work in industry.

[@timgates6019]

I have met many chem engineers out there doing lots of PLC programming. Micrologix is the most effective and least expensive route to learn PLC programming, but once completed, the Logix Engine with either ControlLogix or CompactLogix is a real treat with user defined data types, add on instructions, function block and structured text languages added to ladder logic diagrams. Have fun!!!

[@Garol_Soggybottom]

Very helpful and thorough... from a newbie. thanks.

[@mabdulrahman1]

very nice one... Thanks for all

[@vinzpntech8058]

good day sir, rslinx and rslogix how can i download

[@mohammedk1127]

I've micrologix 1400 plc and the ethernet port suddenly has stopped then I can't ping or communicate with it by ethernet. How can I repair this problem . Is this hardware problem or can I solve it by program settings.? Thanks

[@plcprofessor]

Check your cable and connectors.

[@mattgallagher7105]

Do you always need to connect through RS-232 first, in order to establish connection with the PLC, then configure it for "non Boot P" + define the IP address?

[@mcxblack]

what about RSSidewinder? What is the difference between RSLinx and RSSidewinder? I mean are both of them for writing codes?

[@plcprofessor]

RS Sidewinder is a more tightly integrated API for RS Softlogix only. Softlogix is the Logix Engine running on a PC. RSLinx is a relatively narrow link between Rockwell Software and communication devices on your PC. Whereas Sidewinder is very effectively integrated with just Softlogix. Applications targeted are enterprise in nature.

[@plcprofessor]

plcprofessor With RSLinx you can create topics and use DDE/OPC to interface to MS products like Excel. I have worked with Softlogix but it is a very rare occurrence in my daily work.

[@lemmingslive3843]

the Ethernet address is the IP address; the MAC address is the hardware address or the local address.

[@naheemsheikh3494]

You are a inspiration to all THANKS YOU SIR.

[@mmmaaa4176]

Hello, Prof I would like to know if I can get RSLOGIX software free or not? Sincerely

[@plcprofessor]

+‫الرايدي alzaidy‬‎ Micro Starter Lite is available free, but you have to find it on the AB website.

[@fasterandeasier]

Is there still a free RSLogix software download from AB?

[@plcprofessor]

Under the "Links" tab at my PLC eUniversity site.

[@kvong615]

how do you IP address to my slc500 through ethernet

[@kvong615]

slc 5/03 thanks. please help.

[@plcprofessor]

+kvong615 You have to go in to the setup through the DF1 port and select the EthernetPort config and you can read/set it.

[@plcprofessor]

+kvong615 SLC5/03, no Ethernet, DF1 or DH485 only

[@ngbattia6015]

very good

[@thilinapeiris973]

Thank you for the lecture. How do you find the IP address of a compactlogix processor with rslogix 5000?

[@lblnksm]

Thank You professor I am learning a lot. I think I can answer this one. Answer: You don't you provably need to watch this video a few time like I'm doing. If you don't know your IP add. You first have to establish an RS232 connection to your PLC and follow the steps in this video. Than you you close or delete the RS 232 link and know having the IP add. you can link through ethernet.
