This is a great help for somebody coming from the Schneider and Siemens world. This throws me back to the 90s when comments and symbols weren't stored in the PLC memory.

Great video! Thank you. You just saved our electrician from using the compare tool to recomment a whole control program! Appreciate that you're putting this knowledge out in an easily digestible way

Excellent video Tim!! tomorrow it´s the day of the plc´s backups!! Jaja Thank you.

As always, super helpful. Thanks

Apreciate ur knowledge and your answer i will getting your training kir

Thank you so much for the helpful video!

In my mind triying learn difference between AMERICAN Downlad & Upload proccess... By the way, European Upload mean PC to PLC, Download mean PLC to PC.

Very helpful! Thank you!

Tim Wilborne man you are genius

muchas gracias resolvieron mi problema thanks Tim

thank you so much for this video

This is fantastic trick thanks for the video. I am gonnnna share this and subscribe. thanks so much.

Hi Tim! Is there any way to export a set of data, in my case multiple integer registers, to an excel file from a SLC 500? I work with several machines that inspect parts, if a part fails this PLC will count the number of rejects and store that value in different integer registers based on why the part failed. Each time a new lot of parts is run the data is manually recorded and the counters are reset. I would like for that data to be pushed to an excel file so it can be filtered and reviewed easier. I know there are ways to do this on the newer PLC's however I am stuck working with the SLC 500 as the time and cost to replace with a newer PLC is not an option. Currently working with SLC 500 1747-L532, RSlinx-lite, and RS-Logix 500. Any help would be appreciated! Love the Videos!

hello Tim , My Problem is Solved Thanks

Hey Tim! Is there a way to upload the symbols and descriptions from the PLC if we do not have a offline copy at all?

i just do only one thing to select Advanced in HMI mode in CCW down to communication setting set DHCP in Ethernet and 1st (as you suggest me) set ping in my laptop, 2nd i set all necessary settings in rslinx classic and when i do all that hmi accept my build program later i change static ip address set in plc

Hi Tim,thanks to your continuous efforts,much better understanding for beginners. I would appreciate if you post a video how to configure a PLC with existing program,after replacing a non working IO module with new one in rslogix500 for micrologix1500 series.

Thanks!!!

Hello Tim, when writing a program is there a procedure you do before downloading so the comments are saved in the PLC? That way the next person that does not have the original offline program is able to just go online and the comments are there.

Hi Tim, how are you? Sorry for so many questions but I have one more for you. The program saved in the plc can store comments? Or only the backup has the comments of the program? Because I downloaded a program with comments to the plc but when I try to upload this program it hasn't any comments, do you understand? Thanks and sorry again!

Hi Tim, What if the program in PLC has been modified, possibly having more or less rungs than the original, Will the extra comments interfere with the modified PLC program? If so what will happen?

Tim, I see you are using RsLogix 500 pro to perform this. What is the most basic version that can be used to upload and download files for MicroLogix 1200 and 1500 PLCs? Thanks for a great video!

hello! your channel helps me a lot in my learning. I need your help: can the micrologix 1100/1400 control the sew inverter via explicit message? would be the dfe33b with gateway, with 8 inverters sbus.

Hi Tim, What happens when you put a click on the browse option, find the program and when you press ok button, the Upload Use File is activated but the program is not updated?? In other words, why the option upload use file is activated when i utilize the browse option? Thanks!

But thanks to you you guide me well

I’m really new to plcs. So I’m using windows 10 and trying to connect using components workbench. I’m trying to upload a project and make modifications to an existing program I’m having issues with the firmware which I think I solved. But now I can’t upload the project and start modifying

Very helpful. I was under the impression that when you browse and then uploaded the saved file the programs merged. I thought they became one new program. That must not be correct if you need to export and then import.

Dear Mr. Tim : How can we know if the description which we Export from a program belongs to the same program which is inside the PLC ? Maybe, when we upload the program from the PLC to the RSlogix and then merge comments by using ASCII Import instruction this comments belong to the another software ?!

Do you have to use the application to push a program to the PLC? That is to say, can you push a program to the PLC via (say) C# .NET code?

Is there a way to do the ascii import using rslogix micro lite (free?)

Good Night Good Friend
