Daaaaaaang. Exactly what I needed. Thank you!!!!

[@ShaneWelcher]

Glad it was helpful

[@JohnSmith-rm7mh]

Thanks for this. I knew it was possible but you made it faster by laying it out. You rock sir.

[@ShaneWelcher]

Thank you for the kind words

[@bobstretz7142]

Just what I was looking for! I couldn't go offline with the PLC. I've done this before, but couldn't remember the instruction. Thanks!!!

[@ShaneWelcher]

Glad I could help!

[@SafeAndEffectiveTheySaid]

Thank you Sir! We are actually having so much trouble trying to correlate the drive so many bugs

[@ShaneWelcher]

Glad this helped

[@frank8424]

Wow thanks, I don't program but work with controls for multiple lines. Was asked to have current value come in on an auto audit from another program and needed to see current from the 525. I tried a few things and during down time downloaded but it didn't like it and had to go back. This may work for me. Of course not being a programmer I'll watch it a few times lol thanks.

Let me know where I can help

Thanks for the video, What would you enter in the destination element and/or service type if you wanted to get instance 13 (for example) which consists of different data types. (DPI read basic)

[@ShaneWelcher]

Just make sure the data type of the drive parameter you want to read is the same data type as the tag you made to receive that data. It really is that simple, just look at the VFD's parameters to understand what data type you are trying to read.

Hi Shane love your videos. I just enrolled in your batching station course on your website. I have not seen comment section on your website to ask question if we get stuck. I am currently following along and completed "Starting Our Studio 5000 & FactoryTalk View Files" section :) should we email you our questions? thanks!

[@ShaneWelcher]

Sure, just shoot me an email

[@oliesting4921]

@@ShaneWelcher what is your email? I have a question regarding RecipePro+. I am getting an error when trying to create ‘Generic’ recipe. The error is "Unable to create recipe file 'Generic' at HMI Server". Please let me know how to move forward as future lectures depend on this RecipePro+. Thank you!

[@diarmuidoconnor2001]

Does anyone know how I can use this with other parameters? I presume I must use the parameters Hex code but cannot find them anywhere. Its for my Final year project of my degree. The current is a huge help but I also need voltage and power at minimum

[@ShaneWelcher]

You need to create a datalink for that

[@donniechen8718]

Shane, Which manual has the info of class instance, attributes for PF755?

@@ShaneWelcher 36 / 5.000 I need help where can I contact you?

[@trevorrichard4710]

This didn’t work for me. It’s saying the class or instance isn’t supported

[@ShaneWelcher]

Please watch & follow exactly what I teach, it shows how it works through the video

[@vladimirelkin1686]

Shane, your footage is great, but how did you select Class, Instance, and Attribute in the messaging setup? Thanks

[@ShaneWelcher]

From the drive & from the message instructions. Depends on the drive. I often look at Rockwell Automation's tech notes to verify the proper attributes & classes. The drive manual would be one point of reference
