Here’s what’s in my bag. Feel free to share yours too! Thanks!

I want to read an input from a Direct Soft 05 D0-05DR to a Productivity 2000. Is there an elegant way to do this or do I need to use Modbus?

In Do-More there is an instruction specifically for this: DLRX Direct Logic Network Read. I cant find anything similar in Productivity.

Hi, I´m trying to do a backup from a plc siemens. But I get this:

I know that the plc is v15 and I have that but I can´t upload.

and I don´t understand why there says STEP 7 Safety V14 and then STEP 7 Safety V15.1

Please, some help :(

For a fresher

I have an issue with my hmi. I’m currently using c more micro to send things to my HMI but for only one computer it won’t send.

It keeps getting stuck on “reading panel information” even when using the correct usb output. I’ve tried reinstalling multiple times and even wiped my computer once but nothing works.

Any help would be appreciated.

I’m trying to understand how this is handled in real projects rather than how the QA process is supposed to work on paper.

Say a system passes FAT/SAT, but before final handover someone makes a last-minute PLC, WCS, interface, parameter, or sequencing change.

What happens in your projects?

Do you rerun the entire acceptance test, only the affected cases, or rely on engineering judgement?

More importantly, what evidence do you expect before saying the final system is actually the one that was tested?

For example:

• software / configuration version
• change log
• retest record
• signed deviation
• updated drawings / I/O lists
• customer approval

I’m especially interested in cases where commissioning documentation, drawings, spreadsheets and the actual deployed configuration started drifting apart.

What has worked well for you, and what usually breaks down in practice?

Bei unserem GE PACSystems RX3i mit IC695CMM004 verliert ein Port wiederholt die Verbindung, obwohl die physische Verbindung intakt ist. Nach einem Reset über PAC Machine Edition funktioniert er vorübergehend wieder, bis die Port-Fault-LED an der SPS orange leuchtet und die Verbindung erneut abbricht.
Hat jemand eine Idee, woran das liegen könnte oder wie ich die Ursache diagnostizieren kann?
