Lookout 5.1 comm error Allen Bradley 1784-PKTX

I have and Allen Bradley network on a 1784-PKTX card. When I configure an object to use this card I only get the ISA version 1784-KTX model. Is there new drivers available and what are the recommended ways of using this particular PKTX card with Outlook 5.1. I appreciate any and all answers to this post

Have a look at this KB. It seems that Lookout doesn't support 1784-PKTX card.

One possible way is to use some other OPC Servers, and run Lookout as OPC Client.

Comunicacion lookout con plc slc 500 allen bradley

Actualmente tengo un plc allen bradley slc 500 y quiero conectarlo a traves del lookout a traves de los drivers que tiene el mismo lookout
object -- drivers -- driver slc500 pero me sale un error de comunicacion, anteriormente ya pude conectarlo a traves del keepserver y tambien a traves del mismo rslink con la opcion de new topic DDE sin ningun problema, pero quisiera saber como hacer para conectarlo a traves de los drivers q tiene el propio lookout.
utilizo lookout 6.0 - 6.2
rslink classic gateway
De ante mano agradezco cualquier ayuda
FIRA

thanks for answer me soon
First I use the DF1 to conect with the PLC I see that lookout has driver to SLC500 and It can comunicate with lookout without some OPC server like keepserver or NIServerOPC i would like to conect the PLC direct to loookout with the SLC500 drivers.
I can comunicate the lookout with keeperserver and also with NIserverOPC but i don´t want to spend more many in order to buy the OPC servers
also I can comunicate lookout with SLC 500 with the DDE topic that has RSLINK but now i want to know how can i do to comunicate lookout to SLC500 with the SCL drives that has lookout.,
The problem is:
when i made that comunicate with the SLC drivers from lookout I had comunication error and i don´t know why?
I use SLC 500,
RSLINk classic.
lookout 6.0 and 6.2

Lookout drivers for Allen Bradley

Is there a driver I can Use for The Allen Bradley CompactLogix L32E Ethernet communication

I am currently facing the same issue. I think you need to map the address to PLC5 or SLC 500 and then I believe you can use AB ethernet driver.
I will not be tackling mine for another month or two but is on my upcoming project list.

Allen Bradley KF-2 half duplex question

Has anyone used an Allen Bradley KF-2 DH+ communication interface with Lookout? The KF-2 connects to the SLC5/04 DH+ port and converts the DH+ to DF-1. My proccess can see the SLC5/04 in half duplex mode when I connect direct to the DF-1 port. When I try to connect through the KF-2 (set up for DF-1 half duplex), I get the Error "STS error 10: Illegal command or format" message. I know the KF-2 is set up OK, I can talk to the SLC5/04 with RS Logix in half duplex.

Drivers 1784PKTX allen bradley

Hello,
I have a card Allen Bradley PCI Family 1784-PKTX which the computer me does not want it to recognize, as if it needed drivers. Where with himself drivers or since I do so that the PC recognizes the card to me. Thank you very much to that it can help me
Tengo una tarjeta Allen Bradley PCI Family 1784-PKTX la cual el computador no me la quiere reconocer, como si necesitara de unos drivers.
Donde consigo los drivers o como hago para que el PC me reconozca la tarjeta.
Muchas gracias al que me pueda ayudar

If your computer doesn't recognize the card, you'd better ask AB for help.
By the way, Lookout currently doesn't support PCI 1784-PKTX card, because AB doesn't release its API.

Password 1395 Allen Bradley HELP PLEASE !!!

Please help, I have a machine down, and believe it or not, I actually have a spare Allen Bradley 1395 Digital DC drive complete working spare 200hp drive, but someone put a password in it, and I need to get around it or reset it so I can reconfigure my settings and communication. The password can be something like 1 to 56335, it would take years to guess it. I contacted AB by phone, but despite the fact that I have a quantity of two of their $26,000.00 drives, they want a $500 purchase order to have a tech give me the back door password. Someone must surely know how to do this. I have a DHT (1300) programming module connected to it, and I can view all of the parameters in monitor mode, but I NEED the password to do some parameter adjustments post haste. [email protected]

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

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.

"Comm Error" message when connecting to car stereo

When connecting my 80G IPod to the port in my car, the IPod screen rolls horizontally, then says "OK to disconnect", and the stereo displays the "Comm Error" message. I was able to connect to the stereo before but don't know what happened to cause this. Re-setting the IPod did not resolve the problem. Has anyone else seen this? Please help!
5th Generation IPod Windows XP

I’ve got a 30gb ipod doing the same thing. I know it’s not the car as my friends nano works fine on it. Have you have any success?

Epson Artisan 810 comm error

When scanning with the 810 from its control panel for "scan to email",as soon as I push on the scan to email via USB on the panel it gives a comm error and says to check if computer is connected.
This is the second 810 to do the same thing. Unistalled/reinstalled drivers, no luck. The scan from the computer to the scanner works OK without error but want to use the control panel for fast and easy scan to emails.
Tried different usb cable, same results.
Really am stumped. Epson tech blames IMAC software, Apple support says its in the all in one pntr/scanner. Epson says they have not heard of this problem before.
Am using new Snow Leopard on 1 year old computer

I have the same problem. Everything works fine, except that from the printer console, the only option for scan to Email/PDF/PC only gives the option for USB Connection (which is inconvenient for me to use). My MacBook Pro does not show up in the list like the photos in the instructions.
I tried installing "Drivers and Utilities Combo Package - Network" dated 1/04/10, from Epson's site, file epson13616.dmg, to no avail.
The Artisan 810 is connected by ethernet to my Time Capsule (internal network) and the MBP is connected by wireless to the same network. It will scan fine from the application on the Mac, but not from the unit's console. Really disappointing, since instead of putting something on the printer, and punching a couple buttons, you have to put it on there, go to the computer (on the other side of the room for me), pull up the software, scan, then go back to the printer to remove the item (or flip the page!)

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.

RS232 Comms Error Indication

Hi all, new to the site so please forgive me for any question that seems obvious or child’s play Basically the problem I have is that sometimes I loose communication between my FieldPoint FP-1000 and LabView. When I say I loose comms, the Network and Access LED on the FP are still flashing away but all the values on the screen go to zero. It is not a set time when it will do this, it is random and ive only had it once where the values came back briefly then went again Ive checked the port using 'Hyperterminal' as described in the NI help section and the port appears OK. Also all Baud rates have been checked Does anybody know what the FP-1000 does if it has a comms error or does it even have that error code available to display? Its just strange that the port is ok and the network and access LED's appear to still be transmitting and the DAQ on LabView is still receiving messages so to me the FP seems ok?
Ive got a programme called Portmon on Cd which ive been advised to use to check the status of the port when it goes down, unless you have any sugegstions before I try it? Many thanks in advance, any ideas or suggestions are welcome and greatly appreciated Regards Mitch

Hi Mitch,
Please can you test the comms connection with some of the example programs shipped with LabVIEW. The ones I am thinking of are located in the LabVIEW Example Finder (Open LabVIEW goto Help >> Find Examples)
From the Example Finder go to Hardware I/O >> FieldPoint >> Getting Started >> Analog Input.vi
This will let you quickly and easily test the comms on the FieldPoint. It will also show you how to use the FP Read vi.

Comm error using iphone in Scion?

Hi,
Recently, my Scion xD stereo displays "comm error" when I attempt to play my iphone through it. I tried a new cord. No luck. I tried another iphone and it worked perfectly. So it looks like my phone is the culprit. Ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Bastille521,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The following article will provide some troubleshooting steps for this issue:
iOS: Troubleshooting car stereo connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3581
Some car stereos require a firmware update for AVRCP 1.4 Bluetooth compatibility

I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

Fax test shows passed but fax doesn't work comm error

new machine . fax test passed but when fax is trying to be sent comes back as comm error. help

Hi @farmerj15 ,
I see by your post that when you try to send a fax you are getting a comm error, the fax test all passed. I will do my best to help you.
Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector) This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
I have provided a document to go through the steps to see if that will resolve the issue.
Cannot Send or Receive Faxes.
Sorry for all the questions, but it will help to resolve this issue quicker if you are still having issues.
Please let me know the following:
Can you receive a fax?
What kind of line do you have? (Analogue, DSL, Cable Modem)
Where is the fax cable connected to? (modem, wall jack)
Are you using a filter?
Are you using the 2 wire fax cable?
Do you have distinctive ring set up on the line?
Is there any voice mail set up?
Do you have a answering machine? (Where is it connected to)
Is there a phone also connected the printer?
Have a nice day!
Thank You.
