If, instead, you get a yellow banner message like this,
then the PVc application is still not able to
communicate with the MicroLogix 1400 controller over
the Ethernet network at the configured IP address.
If you get the yellow banner message, use RSLogix programming software and your web browser to verify
that the MicroLogix 1400 controller's IP address that is configured for channel 1 matches the one in the PVc
application. If your personal computer can communicate with both devices over the Ethernet network, then
the PVc terminal should be able to communicate with the MicroLogix 1400 controller over the Ethernet
network.
Once the PVc terminal is successfully communicating
with the MicroLogix 1400 controller, you may observe
a drive status other than Disabled. The other
possibilities are:
• Not Ready – The drive is not ready.
• Disabled – The drive is ready but not enabled.
• Enabled – The drive is enabled.
• Faulted – The drive is faulted.
• Move In Process – An Axis Move is in process.
• Jog In Process -- An Axis Jog is in process.
• User Program In Process – The Axis User Program is In Process. In this state, the drive could be
disabled, enabled, moving, or jogging depending on the application code in the Axis User Program
routine.
You can now review the status of each axis in your system from the Network Overview screen.
On this screen, Axis x is a text object that is tied to AX1_DESCRIPTION, tag ST251:0, in the RSLogix 500
TIP
file. This axis description can be changed to give the axis a name that is more appropriate to your
application. Once the axis description string is changed, the updated axis description will show on the axis
buttons in the Network Overview screen as well as in the Simple Motion Control Screen.
The
button in the top-right corner allows you to exit the application to the PVc Terminal
Configuration dialog box.
IMPORTANT
Before proceeding, make sure that all the configured drives are disabled.
