Good morning Neric,

I don't have one of the new “9300-USBCBL-PM02” cables, however I would recommend checking Windows Device Manager to verify which Com Port it get's assigned when you plug it in (as shown at 1:50 in this lesson.)

Then, if say it becomes Com 4, when you add the DF1 driver use the down arrow shown near the Com 3 selection at…[Read more]

Thanks for the update!

Good morning Felipe,

Some things to check:
– Is your rung true? You can put an output in parallel to your RTO to use for indication.
– Is the ACC equal to the PRE? I.E. Has the Timer completed timing?
– Is your RTO rung in Program File 2 (Main Routine)
– Do you have a RES resetting the RTO?

Hope this helps,

Shawn Tierney,

Thanks for letting us know!

Thanks for letting us know you got the Emulator installed Felipe!

Good morning Felipe,

As discussed early in the course, RSLogix Micro Starter Lite only supports the MicroLogix 1000 and 1100. Which controller did you choose for your program?

Something else to try: Load your MicroLogix 1000 or 1100 file into the Emulator first using the Emulator's own menu. Then go online with RSLogix Micro Starter Lite and…[Read more]

Good morning Maitrey,

I'll send you a message with more info, but in short if you have questions that don't pertain to a course lesson, please post them in my free public forum at https://forum.theautomationblog.com where you can create a free account and post any non-course related question.

Good morning Felipe,

Once you download “6.00.00-RSLogixEmulate500-CD.exe” and run it, it extracts to a folder which you open and run “setup.exe.” So are you seeing the download as an .EXE file you can run? You may need to right click and select properties to see the file extension.

Here I just re-downloaded and tried it on Windows 7 and 10…[Read more]

Thanks for sharing your experience Nghia!

Good morning Maitrey,

Thanks for the update.

I do cover HMI and Direct Referenced tags in PVP Basics, but not with the Micro800 at this time.

Also note that in my article that I point out that Rockwell states it is only possible to browse and select Micro800 Global Variables of the INT, DINT, REAL, and BOOL types.

As far as other…[Read more]

Good morning Maitrey,

Thanks for your comments.

Just a reminder of the limitations of which tags can be read and written to (see the text in red at the bottom of the article) – it's sadly quite limited 🙁

Good afternoon Maitrey,

Sorry I missed your question.

I don't currently cover connecting to the Micro800 with FactoryTalk View in PVP Basics, however I do cover it in my article here: https://theautomationblog.com/connect-factorytalk-view-linx-to-micro800/

That said, I know of know built-in way to import Micro800 tags into ViewStudio,…[Read more]

Good morning waltgp,

Thanks for your question. The two PV800 lessons in Nano Basics aren't intended to be a dive deep into the PV800 since this is a Micro800 course.

That said, you should find the Function Key assignment under the Button Properties (typically on the right near the toolbox.)

You should also find a Multistate Push…[Read more]

Good morning Nghia,

If you're using MicroLogix, I'd suggest upgrading to my PLC Basics Second Extended Edition:

PLC Basics Extended Edition

If you're using CompactLogix I would suggest picking up my Compact Basics course in Early Access:

Compact Basics

Or if…[Read more]
