RSLogix 5000 Routine Fault and Controller Fault Capture

[@LDams]

Thank you very much for this very instructive video, I think I will put this routine in my PLCs

[@ShaneWelcher]

Glad to help

Thanks a lot for putting this up. And especially for making it a troubleshooting session.

Useful. I am currently converting a mixer program that was written on MicroLogix1500 to a CompactLogix. That program had a lot of fault handling, but I have very little knowledge on fault handling equivalents on Logix5000 family processors. And there is no clear explanation from Rockwell what converts to what.

Stas Stasevich Glad to be able to help and the video was useful. Thanks for the support , Shane

Thanks Shane for wonderful explanation! Recently came across one issue. I have Redundant L7x controllers with 1715 Redundant IOs. Some IOs shows recoverable fault (Major and Minor) with Healthy LED Red on but there was no error code shown in Rslogix(in module properties). I am wondering what can be the issue and How can I reset this fault

Nice video,I always looking for it by the way do you have controlnet related videos,thanks

[@ShaneWelcher]

I have a few Controlnet videos coming out in the future

@@ShaneWelcher thank u in advance bro, although its legacy protocol but still plenty of industrial plant still using it and ours is one

Hi Shane. Like Usual excellent video. I was wondering if you know of a way to restore and catch a Type 1 Fault Code. Some engineers have mentioned to be able to do that through the Power Handler Routine, others that you can't. I have an old 1768 Compact Logix that had a Type 1 Code 60, allegedly is due to a configuration to load from the Compact Flash Card automatically in power up. I changed this setting on other controllers and haven't had that issue since. However, I have been trying to find if this type of fault can be recovered this way through the power up handler routine. Also I wonder if you ever have made a video on sending a Major Fault Status from one controller through another via the CIP,GSV or the MSG. That way so another controller in our network knows that one particular controller in a remote location went into a Major Fault. Anyway, thanks for all your work and content it is quite help insightful and really well done. Good Day

[@ShaneWelcher]

If a major fault then communications would be down until the processor is scanning again. If you want to auto reset then yes, you can write a routine but test it first. The purpose of this video is to show that if a programming fault happens, you can see where it occurred then do a final fix so it will not happen again. Hope that helps

[@mjayamamoto]

Thanks for this! I'm curious what you can do with the "Info" array of the fault record. I'm hoping it might provide more information on say, an axis fault. Right now all I know is the fault code, which tells me what happened to an axis, but I don't know how to find out which axis had the problem (from the controller fault record at least).

Please, what is major fault t14:c07 safety controller ? showing up on plc logix 5572s

[@ShaneWelcher]

I'll take a look & make a video. Send me a reminder email at [e-mail]

[@mohamedgaber-bn7iy]

@@ShaneWelcher Many thanks I will send you an email

Hi, Shane nice video! I have a question for you, can I put into "Dest" another type of tag of the principal tag "Fault"? For example "Fault.Type or Fault.Code?? What it's the difference? Thanks!

Hey Shane. In my PLCs I have tons of tasks and programs so I can make my systems modular, it seems like having to add individual fault routines for each program is inefficient. Is there a way to "catch-all" the faults? Is the controller fault routine a last option for the routine checks or does that only run when the controller faults? For example, if any controller or program faults, I'd just like the user to know what kind, since standing in front of a machine, they won't know unless someone goes online with the controller.

[@ShaneWelcher]

You can make a controller fault routine that captures all, this is what I show in the video. Controller level fault capture. The fault code will give the program & routine. Set the system up on your needs, my example is just a demonstration of how to do this. I have another video that shows faults capturing on this channel

[@HelloWorld-lt5oc]

@@ShaneWelcher thanks Shane, I did watch the entire video before comment, just wasn’t sure if the controller fault would do only controller type faults and skip program type faults…you never know with Rockwell

hi mr shane Welcher your are recture are very good, thank you. but i have problem here, i am not able to get instruction help lam using rslogix 5000. when do the software giving me error help me lam not enjoying programming.

[@ShaneWelcher]

christian ngonyani What exactly is your fault? What exact cost are you trying to program? The code for fault capturing? I will be glad to help out in any way. Thanks, Shane

[@christianngonyani6176]

my broblem is when i lite klick to the instruction so that to get instruction help e.g MOV, the rslogix is giving me error so lam not able to get any instruction help

[@ShaneWelcher]

What version of RSlogix are you using? Sounds like it could have been installed wrong or there is a firewall issue with your internet security

[@ShaneWelcher]

I have had this happen before but I was able to fix this, knowing what version you are running would help though.

[@christianngonyani6176]

lam using rslogix 5000 version 17

Hello. I migrated a slc 500 project to a control logix plc. Now theres a s:1/13 bit for plc hardware fault. do you know equivalent of this bit in contrologix?

[@ShaneWelcher]

Just replace it with the status bit of the control logix processor

Watch dog timer . Setting value =? suitable

[@ShaneWelcher]

Could you elaborate on your question So I can help out better?
