PLC Troubleshooting Using Trends in Allen Bradley RSLogix/Studio 5000

It will happen to every PLC programmer sooner or later: a seemingly inexplicable sequence of events in the code that happens too fast to see. It is a bit like watching a skilled sleight-of-hand magician. You know something is happening, but you have no idea what that something is exactly. For these kinds of situations - and many more - one of the best tools in your arsenal is the Trend feature. Different manufacturers have their own versions of this, but we will focus on the RSLogix 5000 programming environment in this tutorial. We’ll start with a basic introduction to Trends, how to set one up, and then go through a real-life example of how a well-configured trend can be the key to troubleshooting. ⏱ Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction to Trends 02:15 - Setting up a Trend in RSLogix 5000 03:10 - Modifying Trend Chart Properties in RSLogix 5000 07:05 - Setting up a Trend in RSLogix 5000 from the Organizer Window 08:42 - Trending Multiple Tags in RSLogix 5000 14:17 - Exploring and Understanding Trend Results 16:15 - Conclusion ----- Find more Tutorials on - https://www.solisplc.com/ Get your questions answered - https://forum.solisplc.com/ Connect with Phil -   / philip-cotnoir-b0b56048   #PLCtroubleshooting #Allenbradley #RSLogix5000
