Exactly what I needed. Thank you!!!!

Thanks for this. I knew it was possible but you made it faster by laying it out. You rock sir.

Just what I was looking for! I couldn't go offline with the PLC. I've done this before, but couldn't remember the instruction. Thanks!!!

Wow thanks, I don't program but work with controls for multiple lines. Was asked to have current value come in on an auto audit from another program and needed to see current from the 525. I tried a few things and during down time downloaded but it didn't like it and had to go back. This may work for me. Of course not being a programmer I'll watch it a few times lol thanks. Subscribed!

Thank you Sir! We are actually having so much trouble trying to correlate the drive so many bugs

Thanks for the video,
What would you enter in the destination element and/or service type if you wanted to get instance 13 (for example) which consists of different data types.

Hi Shane love your videos. I just enrolled in your batching station course on your website. I have not seen comment section on your website to ask question if we get stuck. I am currently following along and completed "Starting Our Studio 5000 & FactoryTalk View Files" section :) should we email you our questions? thanks!

Shane, Which manual has the info of class instance, attributes for PF755?

[diarmuidoconnor]

Does anyone know how I can use this with other parameters? I presume I must use the parameters Hex code but cannot find them anywhere. Its for my Final year project of my degree. The current is a huge help but I also need voltage and power at minimum

[trevorrichard]

This didn’t work for me. It’s saying the class or instance isn’t supported

Shane, your footage is great, but how did you select Class, Instance, and Attribute in the messaging setup? Thanks
