Troubleshooting Port Conflict Restoring Factory Defaults SLC-500 processor

STEP BY STEP INSTALLATION this tutorial is documented in Windows 7 home premium Procedures may vary ranging from different OS versions.

Hardware requirements - an Intel Pentium II or greater microprocessor - 128 MB of RAM for Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Windows XP installations (64 MB for Windows 98 installations - 45 MB of available hard disk space - 256-color SVGA graphics adapter with 800x600 resolution - a CD-ROM drive or a flash drive - any Windows-compatible mouse or other pointing device

Software requirements - The operating system must be one of the following: Microsoft Windows 2000 Windows XP (with or without Service Pack 2) Windows Server 2003 (with or without Service Pack 1) Windows Server 2003 R2 - RSLogix 500 will not run on earlier versions of Windows, nor will it run on Windows Vista. - RSLogix 500 relies on RSLinx Classic communication software, version 2.51.00 or later.

Installing Rs Linx RSLinx Classic Lite provides communication between the programmable controller and a personal computer. To install RSLinx Classic Lite software: 1. Log onto the computer as an administrator or as a user with administrative privileges. Insert the RSLogix 500 CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive. The installation program should start automatically. If it does not, open the installation disk with Windows Explorer and run AUTORUN.EXE. OR Insert the Flash drive that contains the installer file for RSLinx. Locate the file which contains the installer files

TRANSFER MASTER KEY TO A FLASH DRIVE

A special build of the EVMOVE Program has been created in response to the growing number of PC's and Laptops that are created without a Floppy Drive. The steps below will describe the appropriate way to move an activation file from a master (floppy) disk, or Hard Drive to a USB Flash Drive.

1. Format the USB Flash Drive to FAT32

Right Click

Double Click

Figure 32 Format Flash Drive

Right Click the flash drive Double click on Format in the list pane Note : FAT or NTFS formats on the flash drive are not recommended and has not been proven to work well with this procedure Make sure any information is copied off of the Flash Drive BEFORE the format. You can check the current format of a Flash Drive by right clicking it in Windows Explorer and selecting Properties.

Select functionality from the menus that appear as you click each selection on this bar. It contains several functions that you will use repeatedly as you develop and test your logic program. In order to know what each of the icons do, simply move your cursor to the icon and a floating ToolTip window will appear indicating the icons function. It indicates the operational mode and lets you see whether you have online edits or forces installed at a glance. It contains all the folders and files contained in your project. Most of the icons in the tree offer a menu applying only to itself by selecting the icon and clicking the right mouse button. The menu contains options to execute an action on the folder or file. It provides you with ongoing status information or prompts as you use the software. It displays the results of a Find All search or a verification procedure. This is where you edit your ladder logic. You can also view several program files at the same time. It displays instruction mnemonics in tabbed categories. Each time you select a category tab, the instruction toolbar provides you with instructions for that category. You can click on any instruction to insert it in your ladder program.

Basic instruction description


Name XIC Examined If Closed XIO Examined If Open OTE Output Energize OTL Output Latch OTU Output Unlatch Description Functions as an input or storage bit. If it is ON, it will allow rung continuity and outputs will be energized. Functions as an input or storage bit. If it is ON, it will not allow rung continuity and outputs on the rung will be de-energized. Sets the specified bit when rung continuity is achieved (rung goes true). Functions about the same as OTE except that once a bit is set with an OTL, it is "latched" on. The bit must be reset with an OTU instruction. It unlatches a latched bit which was set by an OTL instruction. The address for this instruction should be identical to the OTL address that originally set the bit.

Downloading a ladder logic


Create a ladder logic or desired program Example: 1 Insert an instruction on a rung, click contact appears on the rung. ; a normally open

2 The instruction just placed is an input. To assign the data file type to it, double-click on the normally open contact placed and enter "I1:0/1" 3 Assign a symbol to the instruction, right-click the normally open contact, a menu prompts and then select Edit Symbol. Enter "PB1" and then hit the Enter key on the keyboard. (Assigning a symbol to the instruction can be used as a substitute for an address so that the instruction can be easily identified. All instructions having the same address automatically have the same symbol. A symbol is unique. The same symbol cannot be applied to different addresses. Symbols can be up to 20 characters in length.) NOTE : Anytime you right-click any element in the ladder diagram, a menu prompts with editing options for the selected element.

4 Click the first rung number (0000) and then click the Rung Branch icon NOTE . A new branch appears.

: When placing a branch, if the cursor is on an instruction, the branch is placed immediately to the right of the instruction. If your cursor is on the rung number, the branch is placed first on the rung. For more information about branching, please refer to the section "Branching".

5 Click the right leg of the branch and drag the leg to the right of the "PB1" contact. A valid release point will be shown as a green rectangle on the ladder display. 6 Click on the lower left leg of the branch and then click the Examine if Closed icon . Double click and enter the address "I1:0/2". 7 Assign a symbol to the instruction, right-click the normally open contact. A menu prompts and then select the Edit Symbol. Enter "PB2" and then hit the Enter key on the keyboard.
49

8 Click the right leg of the branch and then click on the Output Energize icon . An output load appears. Double-click the output and enter the address "O0:0/0". 9 Assign a symbol to the instruction, right-click the normally open contact added to the rung. A menu prompts and then select Edit Symbol. Enter "PL0" and then hit the Enter key on the keyboard. 10 The ladder logic should resemble the following figure:-

Figure 86 ladder logic example

Verifying the file 1. Verify the ladder logic by clicking the Verify File icon OR click Edit, Verify File from the menu bar. 2. If the file has mistakes, the Verify Results output window displays and gives information on mistakes or omissions occurred in the program. i.e.:-
