Importing SCU5 Add on Instructions into Rockwell Studio 5000 System

hi this is Carlo from Roseboro technology and today I'm going to show you how to import our add-on instruction to be used with our su5 controller first of all let me show you my setup I have my Rockwell PLC over here I have an su-5 controller over here and I have a sensor over here that we will use for testing and here on my studio 5000 I have already added my su5 controller over here and you can watch our video on how to do that and now I'm gonna import our add-on instruction to be used with the su5 controller I'm gonna head to our website rolltrol.text slash documentation and I have selected support file over here and I'm gonna look for the Rockwell Automation add-on instruction I'm gonna do right click save links as choose the folder where I want to save my add-on instruction save then heading back to Studio 5000 we're gonna go on add-on instruction right click import that on instruction go back to the folder where I downloaded the add-on instruction select the add-on instruction click this if you want to change the name you can change the name here otherwise I'm gonna go ahead and say okay and now I have the add-on instruction added over here and then all the user defined variables are over here then I'm gonna go over and to my program or wherever I want to add the add-on instruction look for the add-on extraction over here and SEO five add-on instruction click the add-on instruction gets dropped there now I have to Define the variables for my add-on instruction I'm gonna call it su5 then I need here I'm gonna have to link the input and output variable for the add-on instruction to the input and output variable of my controller in this example our controller is called demo and this is the variable I need to link and then the output variable into demo this one and this variable the name of this variable will change depending on the name that if you go into the io3 the name of the SEO file controller that you want to link the aoi tool needs to match this input and output variable over here and now I'm gonna create the variable for the output of the aoi I will call this demo to sensor one and the from variable are variable there are reading data from the sensor while the two variables are that are used to control the sensor and I'll do the same for sensor 2. demo from to name two minimum this variable is used to control the brightness of the sensor and for the web guide the same concept the from variable are data coming from the web into the plc and two variable are demanded actually control the webcam okay now I need to add all of this variable so I'm gonna do right click Nemo I will leave all of these to the default value create I repeat that for all the variable create here I have named all the variable if you still get an error over here most likely you have forgotten to create one of the variables in this case I did that on purpose I forgot to create this one and now once everything is in order you will have no error and you also if you look at project variable you will have all the variable from that you have created over here and each of these variables have meaningful feel that you can use to either read data from the sensor like if the sensor is present low contrast in a web and all of these or the the sensor position The Edge position and all the data coming from the sensor okay now I'm gonna download this project and try to see the data coming from the sensor and make sure that everything went well in my aoi so I'm gonna go over here go online and I Do download I'm online I'm in run mode everything is okay the i o is okay which shows that there is a good connection to the su5 controller now I can verify that the data is coming through properly and I can already see that sensor 1 shows no sensor zero which means I have a sensor connected I don't have it in front of the sensor so it shows me low contrast and the web now I'm gonna put my pen in front of the sensor and I can see the data changing and I have the position of the pen over here changing so everything is working and this is the data coming from the sensor now if we want to control the sensor we will go to the two and one thing that it's important to know that this through this variable you can enable and disable the sensor so right now we have a sensor that is enabled in the controller and you can see from the green box over here in the controller but if I put a zero in this field over here and press enter this will disable the sensor so if I go back to this controller now you see the sensor has been disabled one thing to notice is you don't want to this to zero you is better you have to choose a value put it as of known and the values that you can choose are if you go over here and over here it shows you all the possible value that you can choose for this just remember not to leave it as zero otherwise the sensor will be disabled now you can also control the orientation of the sensor to do that you have to set this field as a one and now if this is a zero I can go in my SEO file controller and see this is a left controller if I change that field to two is going to switch to a right controller over here and if I switch this to three is going to be in Center mode here on the controller and if you go over here and over on top of the description it will show you all the options that you have for that value now common mistake that we have seen one is to name this variable for sensor 1 and Sensor 2 with the same name this will cause the aoi to overwrite the value and you will only see the the values from Sensor 2 most likely and other things is no matching the version of the aoi with the version of the controller so the version of the aoi will be shown either here or in the aoi menu over here and you have to make sure when you go into the controller you have the version of the controller over here you want to have a version of the aoi that is the closest to the version of the controller that you have and always a version of the aoi that is below the version of the controller one other problem that we have seen is that if you say you have installed their older aoi and you want to upgrade to a newer aoi it's always best to delete the older aoi and delete all the user defined variable and install new aoi from scratch rather than trying to upgrade a newer aoi the older one already installed on the system and these covers all that I have for today thanks for watching and if you want to stay up to date with all of our videos please subscribe to our Channel down below
