M580 sd card install
Just received my blank Schneider sd card it's already formatted. Program is already on the M580 so if I insert, will it write the program to it automatically and save? or do I need to put the plc in stop mode, insert, then put back into run mode? or must I do a project backup and backup save.

Modicon TSX Micro 3721001 - CPU Fault - Modules or Base Unit?
Hello - we run a car wash that is controlled by a Modicon TSX Micro 3721001. It is indicating a CPU fault. I've attached a picture of the unit in place, with the LEDs lit. I have ordered a new base unit (2nd picture). I haven't tried it out yet, but it is tested working. I am hoping a base unit replacement will solve the problem, but wondering if it it possible the problem could be in the modules? I did not order those but now wondering if I should have... If the issue could be with the modules, is there a way to test which one it would be so I won't need to order all 4? If it coult be a module, I might order that now as I am in a rush to get back in service. Thanks for any guidance! Andy

PID or Not PID ! , Relaxc ?
Hi,
I propose a free trial version of new methodology of process control ( Relaxc) under expert control of schneider.
If you are a school, technician, student, or an industrial, you can test it and compare it to your controllers.
Inside the package you have the practical guide of relaxc that allows to control quickly all your processes.
If you have the time to test it, i would like a feedback or share your feedback on the post. It is important for me
https://www.appedge.com/pdffile/relaxc_expertcontrol.pdf
To download you have 3 ways, but it is necessary that you give few information to get it.

MachineExpert Vijeo Designer simulation
Hi guys,
I installed new MachineExpert v1.2 and Vijeo 6.2.9 on Win10 machine. When connecting simulation PLC to Vijeo to test my application everything is good.
I go to PLC and check the nodename (see the pic attached) which I put in my Vijeo application and everything works. Issue is, because of my hard drive capacity I am forced to work via VM (but this is my preffered way also because of number of PLC softwares used). When I installed from the same installer (everything same as my local Win10) on Win7 VM when I run simulation I get empty space where the PC simulator should be visible which nodename I should type in Vijeo.
Also I noticed when going to gateway management console in VM the process is active, same parameters as in host machine. Turning off the gateway on the VM turns it off as well on the host.
Is there a known problem of connecting to simulator on VM? Or win10? Unfortunately I don't have Win10 VM to try right now..
Anyone can help? Much appreciated!

Zelio Ethernet
Hi All,
I’m trying to get 2 SR3B262BD’s to communicate with each other, using 2 Ethernet expansion modules, so that the inputs from one control the outputs of the other.
Is this actually possible ?. As far as I can tell, I’ve created a program that, I think, should work. Any help would be very gratefully received.
Thanks,
Northman.

Issue transferring project from Pro face HMI.
Hello, I am having an issue transferring a project from a Proface HMI Model: PS-3711A to my laptop.
I am connected through ethernet and using the same subnet, when I load the Transfer tool from Win Pro EX (version 4.09) and select the receive button it launches a window that seaches for my HMI which it is able to successfully locate. When I select the HMI from the auto search window, it connects and begins to transfer data, where it gets stuck at "Receiving Project" forever. Tried just about everything I can think of.
I normally work with rockwell so I am not very familiar with pro-face products. Just wondering if anyone else has encountered the same issue, or had any ideas for getting around it.
Thank you

Connection Between Two RIO panels
Dear Experts,
I have two M580 remotes I/Os panel and CPU panel and I want to connect all by using BMXNRP0200 Fiber Converter modules. In IO panels the backplane is BME XBP 1200, after the CPS3500 at slot "0" I have installed CRA 312 module and then all other IO modules AMI, AMO, DDI & DDO. My question is: at which slot on the backplane I need to insert BMXNRP0200 in IO panels and at which slot in the CPU panel and how I need to make ethernet and fiber connection on the module. It has two ethernet ports up and down and two fibre ports up and down. Which ethernet port (up or down) I need to use to connect with CRA and which fiber port (up or down) I can use to connect with another BMXNRP0200 Fiber Converter installed in another panel. I have attached the snap of configuration where I have CPU panel and two remote IO panels ?
Best Regards,
Ahmed

Serial Output
Hello. I am new to programming with a Modicon 340. I would like a serial output to a printer (or an LCD screen) (eg) an input is registered and I would like an output to display the results of the input. Does the Modicon 340 support this? I have the P3420302 module which appears to have a serial connection (along with ethernet). If someone could point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.

Proworx32 and Remote Rack Power supplies
Hi,
Have on older Quantum PLC that I am new to and had to change out power supplies. We had redundant 140CPS12400 power supplies and one was failing in service and was alarming constantly to our DCS HMI. Our local storehouse had the replacement 140CPS12420 supplies but found out from Schneider that both supplies on the remote rack needed to be changed as the new models do not play nice with the older ones.
I replaced the modules successfully and the rack has full power restored with all modules happy. The problem remaining is that the status of the new supplies in Proworx32 has flagged both supplies as failed and hence sends alarms to our DCS system that both have failed. Is there a reset of some sort in the PLC program? I looked through the program to see if there was a hardware configuration change required to let the system know of the new part number but came up empty. I traced the ladder logic back to the STAT command from the processor.
I am hoping that there is a reset somewhere that I am missing. Everything if functioning normally but I would not get a failure alarm if one was to fail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Lee.
