Does anyone know how to create Add On Profiles for the Rockwell Logix family? I have some third party devices that I use often (hundreds of duplicate devices), and would like to create a add on profile for them... like what AB supplies... or like some other third parties supply that AB likes to play well with (non-competitors).

The third party device I would like to use is a competitor of AB, so there is probably no chance I can get AB or the competitor to help me...

Any ideas???

 

I work with CLogix all the time and am not sure what you mean by "Add on
Profiles".................Add on Function Blocks perhaps ?

What is it that you want to know, I use it all the time...........

Give e-mail and I will contact you off list.

Dave, From what I understand a profile is like a pre made tag structure for a hardware device... like when you add an I/O module or an axis or axis card... you double click the module in the controller organizer. It pops up with a tabbed window that you can set up properties and parameters with... that is a profile? yes? no? From what I understand some third parties have add on profiles? yes? no?

Anyways, I figured I should try to find out how to make my own for some devices I use over and over... make it easy to setup and troubleshoot.

Probably can't happen though... any ideas?

Right now I have a UDT structure that I define each devices data type as... which has drastically simplfied things. I wanted to take it another step.

 

Anybody? Anything?
