Allen-Bradley Powerflex Control Code

Hi All,
I am using an Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 4 Adjustable Frequency AC Drive. I am communicating via the AB PowerFlex USB Converter, 1203-USB. Does anyone out there have any control code written for this?
It should be pretty simple serial communcations via a VISA connection, but I cannot find the comm protocol anywhere.
Any guidance woud be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
FB

In this article you will find information concerning communication between the wing and the hyper drive through the converter 1203USB Rockwell

Allen bradley l35e plc interface to Honeywell EBI

To All,
I'm trying to interface an Allen Bradley L35E PLC with Honeywell's EBI system. I'm hoping someone out there has accomplished this successfully.
Kind Regards,

AB PLC talks with EtherNet\IP on Ethernet Networks..
PLC5, MLX Series PLC uses DF1 Protocol for Serial RS232 Communication.
Lower End AB PLC's/Net-ENI Modules uses DF1 Protocol encapsulated with EtherNet\IP CIP Services for cummunication.
Latest AB PLCs uses EtherNet\IP(Pure CIP Services) for communication. Check, http:\\www.odva.org for more details into these protocols. With NI-OPC Servers, Lower End AB PLCs such as MLX Series, PLC5 Series can be integrated with LabVIEW. however., NI OPC Server doesnot supports Control Logix and Compact Logix PLCs.
If you are looking for some low cost solution to integrate All kind of AB PLCs with LabVIEW Software, Check this link, http://forums.lavag.org/Industrial-EtherNet-EtherNet-IP-t9041.html&p=35563#entry35563

Serial Communications with Allen Bradley PLC 2.30

Does any one know the required pin outs for the serial cable from the PC com port to the Allen Bradley 1771-KG card or directly to the Allen Bradley processor? Any samples on writing TAGs to the registers?

Hello Chad
Thanks for the pin out information. I tried that pin out configuration Monday and it did not work. I am pasting a copy of a communication with Allen Bradley in this comment box as well as a communication with another programmer that commented in here as well. Please read it and let me know what you think. Thanks again Chad.

Everything works well, from the LPD OPC Server to creating TAGS..to using the HMI wizard on the front panel,...but there is no communication with my hardware. An NI Application Engineer came by yesterday and we concluded that this was a hardware ware communication problem. I talked with an Automation Engineer in Austin yesterday and he told me to try RSLinx and see if I could get it to communicate with the hardware. I like that HMI wizard, it is pretty cool! I am pasting a copy of an email I sent to Allen Bradley so you can see a little bit more information about my hardware. thanks for your help again Khalid.
{{{I am having much difficulty in communicating to my PLC 2 communication port or through my RS-232 port on my 1771-KG card. I am using a serial (null modem) cable on com port 1 on my PC. I have Win98 operating system. I am using LabView Datalogging and Supervisory control (Lookout) software to create several HMI?s. Can you please give me the pinouts that I need to communicate with the processor port on the PLC and or the 1771-KG card? Please contact me as soon as possible for I really need to get this to communicate so I can get started on this HMI upgrade. We are using PanelMates as HMI?s, but they are 13 years old and are failing frequently as well as being obsolete. At the present time I am creating new HMI?s but we are planning to do one fuel processing line at a time and replacing the PLC 2.3 with PLC-5 and then we can use the Ethernet module. Please call me at 313-972-4635 I do not have my own email at work so you will need to email any communications to my supervisor Fred Jacobsen he then will pass it on to me. Email: [email protected] If you have something you can fax me, here is the fax number: 313-871-2835

RT webservice on allen-bradley panelview HMI?

Hello,
anywhere I can find the requirement for the browser that will be used to display wedsites from a RT target?
I've made a simple VI, just some controls and indicators, and I can easily see it IE (even with silverlight disabled) - but the HMI only shows the title, and then an empty picturebox where the VI was expected to be.
I actually just want to show a picture on the webpage, nothing more - any ideas?
Henrik
Solved!

Hi Henrik.
You also need to install the LabVIEW Run-Time enginer in order to get Remote Front Panel to work. After this installation, you should be able to use Internet Explore. I have also tried using Firefox, and that seemed to work just fine.
How Can I Display a Remote Front Panel on my Host Computer?
I don't know the HMIs that Allen-bradley is making, but according to this link
http://www.ab.com/en/epub/catalogs/12762/2181376/1239781/1670480/10791114/12293528/Introduction.html
it seems they are running on Windows 6.0 CE with limited functionality.
I would recommand a newer OS, like WES7 that are supported by NI.
http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/da/nid/209369
Another idea is to use Data Dashboard. With this, you can publish data over LAN, and connect an iPad that they are able to show the data, and even give new inputs to your LabVIEW aplication.

Control Code from Material not picked in Sales Order after EHP4

Hi Gurus,
We have updated Enhancement Package 4 for one of our client.
It is observed that the system is not picking the values maintained in Control Code of Material master. We have some pricing condition types maintained using the combination of Control Code and other fields, which are not being determined automatically.
The data is maintained in J1ID for this material and plant combination and it is also filled in material master.
Please help.
Thanks in Advance.

Vamsi.

Hi Vamsi,
We are also facing the same issue after EHP4 upgrade. Please let me know how you have fixed that issue.

Best way to send printer control codes?

What's the best way to send printer control codes in Netware 3.12? Should I
use a batch file that's run each time a particular queue is selected, or is
there something I should be doing with a pconsole option? I'm trying to get
rid of extra linefeeds and enable compressed printing. DOS environment, by
the way.
The printer in question is an Ithaca Pcos Series 50 ( #52 pn-06-0629), which
isn't one of the standard ones listed in Pconsole etc. It may emulate a
standard IBM though.
Thanks-

Never mind, I'm in a habit of answering my own posts these days. Just create
a job configuration in printcon that uses a device with the appropriate
device modes.
Is it just me, or is Netware queue-based printing a bit on the obtuse side?
Seems like it could have been made a whole lot easier (more linear?) to set
up.

Control Code field in Material master- Foreign Trade imports tab

Hello Experts,
I am trying to understand the purpose of Control Code(MARC-STEUC) field in Material master- Foreign Trade imports tab. I am also interested in knowing where does this field appear in our PO.
Please help..
Manish

Normally control code specifies the norm to follow by the supply plant for a sale of exposrts. each contry will have a set of rules to get follow as a stuatory . this code specifies the rules or certificates.

Sending control codes to native program

Hello,
I execute a native application with Runtime.getRuntime().exec(), but the application does not return from proc.waitFor(). I feed the application from stdin. Other applications (e.g. cat) runs fine, so believe I have to terminate the input with a CTRL+D or something like this, but it does not work. How can I send a control code to the process?
I tried:
write('\u0004')
write('\u0003')
But why returns:
write('\u000D');
write('\u000A);
an error in the IDE?
Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd+"\u0004");
BufferedInputStream bufferedIn = new BufferedInputStream(in);
outStream = new BufferedOutputStream(proc.getOutputStream());
errorStream = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(proc
                         .getErrorStream()));
inStream = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(proc
                         .getInputStream()));
int b;
while ((b = bufferedIn.read()) != -1) {
     outStream.write(b);
proc.waitFor();
Thanks, Karsten

Does not help. I flush and close the stream. Same result.
The program which does not work is a C program and waits until feof() says it. So, I also thought closing the stream would help to get an EOF, but it doesn't.

What is a Budget Control Code?

On saving an ADI report I've created I'm getting the error message "You have entered a budget amount type without an associated control value assignment. Use control values to tie budgets to columns." Any idea what a Control Value is? Can't find it in the manuals anywhere. It seems to want a non zero integer value, which doesn't really narrow it down as much as I'd like...

I have figured out that the control code it refers to, it ties a column to a specific budget but do not know the values are. The General Ledger User guide comments (for FSG, page 4-18)
&BUDGET: Enter &BUDGET followed by a control value number
to print the budget name assigned to the control value number
when you define your report.
I suspect that the numbers live in GL_BUDGET_VERSION.CONTROL_BUDGET_VERSION_ID...but my access (ADI only) does not allow me to easily query this...

Map Allen Bradley 1400 addresses to NI Modbus addresses

Hi,
How do I map Allen Bradley 1400 Micrologix addresses like (N7:0, B3:0/1, etc., etc.) to NIs modbus addresses? Can the NI DSC module access the PLC for read/write operations without using the NI OPC server?
Is there any tutorial or URL which specifically addresses the above queries?
Thanks in advance.

It's easier if you are using OPC ... you can map and bridge data between the two protocols quickly through tags (addresses).
Here is what you need:
Modbus << OPC Data Manager >> Allen Bradley
Data Manager allows one-to-one, one-to-many, and many to many relationships between tags
Let me know if you have any questions.

Control code in Material Master

Hi experts,
Can you please let me know the use of control code in Material Master (in Foreign trade export view)
Thankyou..

Hi ,
Control code means it is HSN number for the material . While craeting the material master we can put this is Sales view . It is given by govt department . Base on control code the duty calculate . For examplae 8888.00 the duty is 8% . so if the CIF value is 100 then accessable value will be CIF*1.01 . Base on accesseble value ths duty calculate . How much percentage to calculate is given by goverment department .
Hope this is helpful .
Thanks

Chapter id and Control code combination.(while doing J1id)

hi,
in J1ID material & chapter id combination,maintaing chapter id for material.the same chapter id is reflecting in material master in Control code field.
why it's happening?where these both having link.
thanks.

Hello Gobind,
Suppose if you maintain the material and Chapter ID combination in J1ID then system will automaticaly copy that Chapter ID in Material master -Control code field in (fireign trade Import view).
Actualy the J1ID program is having so many includes, in that this perticular include is having the Material master -Control code (MARC-STEUC) link with material and chapter Id combination (J_1IMTCHID-J_1ICHID), that include is LJ1I5O02
How they program links see here
**********pdate marc set steuc = j_1imtchid-j_1ichid
where matnr = j_1imtchid-matnr
and werks = j_1imtchid-werks.

Printer control codes

Anyone know where to get printer control codes for an HP Laserjet printer? Back in the old days of dot matrix printers, the manuals always had tables for ASCII, HEX or IBM, etc control codes. I have some old "Basic" software that I want to imbed printer commands to do things like expanded print, bold print, etc.

A table of simple PCL commands is available here.

CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN ME IN DETAIL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CONTROL CODE AND CHAPTER ID??????
REGARDS,
INDRANIL

its correct
when u create the chapter id the system have to updata table T604F
which is not happaning in ECC6 its a teble of control code
now after appling SAP note system will update T604F table and u will not get the error
u will have to delete all the entrienm in J1ID fopr chapter ID and creat once again
or u can directely upload those chapter ids in that table of control code
after appling that note system will do it for all new chapter id which u will create after appling this note
