we can develop from scratch programs or routines for PLCs of the 1756-L71 series and versions
superiors, to which the devices with firmware revision 21 and higher belong.
It is worth clarifying this, since in the machines and/or processes that PERENCO COLOMBIA
LIMITED has made some updates to the PLCs, and some filters plagiarized from WEMCO.
Recently acquired, they come equipped with PLCs featuring 1756-L61 processors.
In Studio 5000 it is not possible to create any project for the PLCs we handle from the 5000 series.
nor much less from the 500 series.
With Studio 5000, we can upload, edit, and download any type of uploaded program.

normal use with any of the RSLOGIX software: go online, edit online, compare
online/offline, similar, set forced, monitor, compile, look for errors...
One of the biggest problems we face when trying to establish a connection to a
PLC is perhaps to establish communication with the PLC itself; and for this, it is suggested to carry out the following
steps:
1. Connection method. Before establishing a connection with the PLC, it will be useful to verify with
detention, what type of machine are we going to intervene. Inform ourselves about the type,
reference, version and software revision installed on the PLC that we want
connect; and according to this information, decide whether the connection will be of type RS-232
or of TCP/IP type. In the suitcase of the YOPMOB26 and YOPMOB74, both types are found
of the interface.
2. Connection and link. After establishing the physical connection of the patch cord or the interface.
Selected, we must ensure that we really have communication with the device.
connected. When it is with TCP/IP protocol, it is enough to execute a PING and wait for a
100% response of sent and received, regardless of the reported speed in
the connection. see example of failed and established connection
With the RS-232 connection, we will have to run the RSLINX CLASSIC tool and
configure the RS-232 driver and set it up to determine if the connectivity is
established.
When the connection could not be established, an announcement appears that says:
In most cases, it is enough to check the firmness of the
connections and press Auto-configure again
When the successful configuration message appears, we will have
A connection established.
Otherwise, try a speed of 9200 Baud/sec.
[Link] CLASSIC. Once a stable data connection has been established, we must execute the
tasks to explore which machines are connected to our PC.
At this point, we will need to be able to visualize the enabled devices, and probably
the most recently connected.
4. Now yes. When selecting in the start menu, the Studio 5000 software, we are just
using the nice version of RSLOGIX 5000, as it was already said, even though it was not
designed for our processors, it is still the RSLOGIX 5000 software
but version 21. So just by clicking on STUDIO 5000, we get the recognized dropdown.

at the bottom, but also the standard options of STUDIO 5000.
Let's remember that if I have the program
on a removable unit or in a
network location, I must select it
OPEN Existing Project option.
If I have communication with the PLC and
I want to download the program that
it is running, I must select OPEN
From Upload.
Or select the Recent Projects.
5. The most important thing. Once we have our program displayed on the PC, we must have
careful not to make modifications that could harm the equipment, person or
environment. And this usually happens due to saving unintentional changes to lines of
programming that can affect the team's behavior and its consequences.
Solving these involuntary changes often takes a long time, and only until when
it is detected where the fault is, there are indications that it may have been changed. By
It is recommended to create a working copy of the project to be worked on.
After the modifications have been tested, uploaded, and saved, we proceed to
delete the working copies.
Let us remember that when working online, even if the PLC has taken on the new commands or
program edits, if the new program is not compiled and saved in the PLC
(memory card), they will not be saved and at the next shutdown they will cease to exist in the
controller.
The typical mission case is to arrive at a station and carry out corrections and/or inspections.
with the help of the PLC program. That is, everything should be limited to: connecting the cable,
check connection, run RS LINX, open RSLOGIX 5000, click on
Communications, select Who Active, select the processor, click on
Upload, following the instructions and if everything goes well, we will be online.

this information can be written an IP address at our discretion. But with the
precautions that communication between the device and others will be lost

the query data of an HMI will be lost, as the query address is no longer the
same after being forced.
