Title: PanelView Upgrade to AdvancedHMI Panel PC
Post by: Archie on March 10, 2018, 06:57:47 PM

This is the second machine that was upgraded from an old PanelView 1000 to AdvancedHMI. This one used the AdvancedHMI 15" Panel PC

Part of the upgrade was to add a wireless access point and a tablet for maintenance to setup the machine.

The machine uses a ControlLogix (L63 processor) with a combination of Ethernet/IP and DeviceNet IO. The program was so large it was taking 120-200ms to scan the program. Also part of the upgrade was to go update to an 1756-L85E processor. This brought the scan time down to 7ms and the HMI was re-configured to refresh at 50ms which made a huge difference in HMI response.

impressive scan time going from L63 to L85. Any changes to System Overhead Time Slice??

With the 8 series, you generally don't have to worry about timeslice since communications has it's own processor.

With the L8x, there actually is no overhead system time slice.  That configuration has been removed for reasons Phrog30 mentioned.
