PLC Programming MSG Instruction - Send Data Between MicroLogix & CompactLogix PLCs Studio 5000 Guide

[@Logical_Controls]

You're a god damn PLC god Vlad! I wish i knew only 5% of what you know, industrial automation is so interesting to me and i'm finding myself binge watching your content. fantastic work by the way!

[@SolisPLC]

Thank you for the feedback! It's very appreciated.

[@SAIMRIAZ]

Great way of explaining the concept. I was looking for exactly the same solution. Thanks for helping out with that.

[@SolisPLC]

thanks

[@biz3kid]

Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for. This also works the other way around, i.e. controlling a MicroLogix's output by writing to it from a CompactLogix. You just need to make an output data file on the 500 code and an output message and integer array on the 5000 code.

[@SolisPLC]

Sorry for the late reply, but you are correct; you can also use the same structure to write to the MicroLogix PLC.

[@SolisPLC]

@Israel Mata I've added this to my queue. Thank you for the recommendation.

[@carlosh.goncalves537]

Excellent Brother. You explain mode easy possible!

[@iqboladahamjonov9835]

Excellent Sir, Thanks for sharing this contents!

[@SolisPLC]

Thank you

how to message float value (F8:20) like temperature from ML1400 TO Compact Logix

[@SolisPLC]

Use the same tag structure as above; replace the tag type to Float / REAL.

[@palashabid]

Excellent Demonstration.

[@DavidGonsior]

Hey, so how do you access the input and output data? When typing in O0:0 or I1:0, it will error out.

[@armandogutierrez4640]

Super useful! Thank you.

[@chrisriedel235]

When entering the IP-address, the leading 2 is followed by a comma followed by the 4 octets . That is not mentioned and hard to see!

[@darthenx2585]

Question.. do is it not necessary to add the remote plc to the configuration tree of the local plc? Also how would you do this when one of the plcs is not Allen Bradley?

[@yogeshrajput4559]

Yes , what if the PLC is Mitsubishi (external Ethernet module RJ71EIP... )and other end is compact Logix L27ERM , how can I communicate via Ethernet IP , use class1 and class3 tag communication . Remember We need to add EDS files on both side

[@darthenx2585]

@@yogeshrajput4559 I think I understand. But within the MSG configuration what type of driver do you set up..GENERIC CIP or what does one choose?

[@yogeshrajput4559]

Darthen X first I tried producer and consumer secondly generic CIP but nothing seems to work !

[@jameserayburn]

Well done! Thank you sir!

[@holcomb683]

Very helpful, thanks

Thank you Tim

Thanks dude!

hello how can I do writing with friend message command?

[@EternalOmnissiah]

Perfect. Thanks for the info

[@SolisPLC]

Glad to hear it helped you.

[@ZohaibJahan]

That's great. Could you make a video on communication between AB PLC and 3rd Party PLC? (If already video is not made)

[@SolisPLC]

very late reply on this, but I'm working on it!

[@moseslakkam]

Thanks for your info, but i need plc as slave and third party device as master, could you assist only for plc how to configure channel configuration and messaging instructions, rest i could manage.

ML1400 VS ENNOVATION CONTROL DISPLAYS

[@donaldmurray4853]

Very good walk thru. Just what I needed. However, could you slow down. I had to set the playback speed to 0.5 so I could follow and keep up. even with pausing. I know I am just as bad with the videos I make.

[@mustafaimran1551]

Hi can you actually tell me what is the maximum size for DINT message command for RSLogix5000. i cannot find any proper litrature on this. if you know that will be a big help

[@StruggleButtons]

late reply but if you are referring to the maximum number a DINT can hold that is 2,147,483,647 or -2,147,483,647. You can find this by taking the number of bits in the integer subtracting 1 and then using that to the power of 2 to find the size. (2^31) Why 31 and not 32? This is because SINT, INT and DINT data types in the RSLogix Controllers use the LSB bit for a negative sign.

[@vincea2732]

Is there any reason you chose to create a message data type instead of using the message datatype that is already in Logix 500?

[@vincea2732]

Also, your .ERR will work as a NO bit if you just use the .ER. Your videos are great, i'm not criticizing.

[@SolisPLC]

I'm not sure I fully understand the question. On the RSLogix 500 side, I'm creating an array of INTs; they're just labeled MESSAGE to clearly identify for the next person that they're used for that purpose.

[@juanc.morales5703]

Hi, Have you videos of interfaz Micrologix1100 and Cognex? I love your videos

[@akshaybhojane3927]

Very helpful

[@briandortch4610]

fun thing I learned to say have staggered msg commands, make one timer I make my preset 5000, and for the message enable bit. I use varying TIMERNAME.ACC.5 or ACC.9 helps to not make a ton of timers

[@carlosandresguerrerovalenc5705]

Hello sir, excellent video. I have a question, are you familiar with the CCW and the micro800 PLC family? because I´m looking for a program that can READ tags from a Micro 820 using a Micrologix 1100 and a Compactlogix L16ER, I don´t know if you could help me. Thank you.

[@SolisPLC]

Carlos, I'm familiar with CCW, but I don't work with it very often. I would assume that a message instruction should be able to read the tag information you're describing.

[@carlosandresguerrerovalenc5705]

@@SolisPLC Hello Sir, actually this past week I did The experiment and I'm now able to read tags in a compactlogix from a micro820 with a simple CIP message, I'm looking to replicate The same using a Micrologix 1100

[@shivani8698]

hi sir, i am trying to read data from load cell display to micrologix 1400 using rs232 port. can you please make a video or help me out how can i read the data from multiple loadcell displays into micro logix 1400 using serial port rs232. the loadcell display has the capacity to talk to each other using rs232. the load cell display is rinstrum x300 ip69k

[@isaiahknight5809]

I am doing this same thing did you find a fix for this problem i am trying to send date from a avery weight tronix scale zm301 to my PLC

[@alfonsoneyracordova9812]

Thanks! This same process would work with any PLC brand just with be over ethernet tcp/ip
