Double Driver 3.0
Double Driver is a very simple and useful tool which not only allows you to view all the drivers installed on your system but also allows you to backup, restore, save and print all chosen drivers.
One of the main reasons why you would want to collect installed drivers is if you don’t have the Driver CD that came with the computer or they are unavailable online. This comes in quite handy if you purchase a computer and want to backup the initial set of drivers. It can be quite difficulty for example to find drivers for hardware installed in a notebook if the operating system has to be setup again. Luckily Double Driver can now lend you a hand with that and save you a lot of time.
Double Driver is a very simple and useful tool which not only allows you to view all the drivers installed on your system but also allows you to backup, restore, save and print all chosen drivers simply and reliably.
Double Driver analyzes your system and lists the most important driver details such as version, date, provider, etc and offers you the chance to update to the latest version. All drivers that are found can easily be backed up the application and easily restored at a later point in one go.
Software ini sangat cocok untuk membackup driver komputer-komputer yang lama, apalagi kalau CD drivernya sudah pada hilang/rusak. Silahkan dicoba saja.

SIMATIC NET PROFIBUS CP 5711 Released
1. Product description
The CP 5711 is an innovation of the existing SIMATIC NET CP 5512 for PGs/PCs with USB V2.0 ports. With its USB V2.0 connection, the CP 5711 can be used on many different computer platforms.
Innovation of the PG/PC connector technology for USB V2.0:The CP 5711 is connected via a USB V2.0 port, allowing flexible use of the module. USB V2.0 is available on many computer platforms and applications for the CP 5711 are therefore manifold. The CP 5711 can also be used on a USB V1.1 port, but the performance will be lower in this case.
Functionally compatible with the CP 5512, as well as PC Adapter USBApplications created for the CP 5512 can be used for the CP 5711 without any changes to the configuration or the user software.The CP 5711 is functionally compatible with the PC Adapter USB for engineering applications (e.g. STEP7)
+ 5 V Power supply from USB V2.0The communication processor is supplied with power from the USB port of the PC system.
+24 V optional external power supplyThe external 24 V power supply covers two application areas: – The power supply from the USB V2.0 port is not sufficient (power supply of the PC is too weak; USB ports are not designed for 500 mA USB standard) – PROFIBUS Termination is assured even when the USB cable is disconnected (active supply of the PROFIBUS connection termination)SIMATIC S7 or SITOP power supplies can be used to provide the external voltage supply.
Mechanical USB latchingAdditional mechanical latching of the included USB connecting cable on the housing of the CP 5711. This safeguards the USB connection in the case of mobile use and also for applications in switchboards.
Diagnostic information via LEDsFive LEDs are available on the CP 5711 communication processor to provide extensive diagnostics (power USB, power external, identify, Link/SF and Activity. – Power USB = module is supplied with 5 V from the USB port – Power Ext = module is supplied with 24 V from an external source – Identify = USB identification phase – startup phase of the module – Link/System Fault = two-colored LED (green/red) providing the user with status information: – the LED lights up green when subscribers are identified on the connected PROFIBUS network (Link Status). – the LED lights up red if an error occurs on the CP 5711.- Activity = the module has synchronized itself on the PROFIBUS network and the PROFIBUS token is available on the PROFIBUS network.
Mounting on a mounting rail (with optional accessories)A separate mounting bracket is available for use of the CP 5711 in switchboards and mounting on 35 mm standard rails.
The existing CP 5512 module with Cardbus technology will continue to be sold in parallel with the CP 5711. Our customers thus have flexibility and can decide freely whether they wish to use a vacant Cardbus slot, or a USB port to operate the relevant SIMATIC NET communication processor. An additional area of application are PC-based systems with no separate card slot and only USB ports.

Learn to be an effective troubleshooter and not just filled with trivial knowledge about PLCs. By teaching you to think the same way the PLC does, you get a much more thorough understanding of why the PLC does what it does in even the abnormal situations.
There are 11 videos in this series covering the topics in a lot of detail. These subjects are typically covered in the first few hours of the 40 hour long PLC Boot Camp class. The Boot Camp class is very agressive and covers in one week what takes multiple classes to cover from other training facilities. The class room teaching is done with challenging hands-on exercises that ensure you retain what you learn.
These videos focus on the PLC-5, SLC-500, and Micrologix series. There are also PLC Boot Camp classes for the ControlLogix platform.

GE Fanuc makes PACSystems RX3i Controller redundant
June 2, 2009 – GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms introduced its scalable high availability solution for the PACSystems RX3i controller. By combining essential processes and capabilities onto one platform, the PACSystems RX3i controller is one of the most powerful, scalable, flexible, and efficient means to increasing productivity. It now adds high availability to its multi-domain functionality along with logic, motion, HMI, and process control.
Built on a synchronized hot-standby redundant control platform with transparent bumpless process switchover and easy configuration, PACSystems High Availability facilitates continuous uptime in essential applications.
GE Fanuc’s PACSystems RX3i High Availability is designed to keep essential systems running efficiently and reliably by connecting two independent controllers on our proven RMX reflective memory technology link providing up to 2 Mbytes of data synchronization. If an event occurs with the primary controller, the control functionality is automatically switched over to the redundant controller for continuous operations. It serves the needs of applications where continuous uptime is essential to profitability, where bottlenecks must be avoided, remote locations where time and cost to repair is extended, and operations where work stoppage means lost production. It can be found in areas as diverse as protecting critical information in data warehouses, ensuring water quality at water treatment plants, and keeping the power on for hospitals and surgery centers.
With PACSystems High Availability, operations globally are delivering results for a sustainable competitive advantage:
PACSystems RX3i offers true dual redundancy data synchronization with dual modules and dedicated, redundant links to one another. They operate with virtually no overhead added to the control application.
GE Fanuc’s unique, patented Redundant Memory Xchange (RMX) modules, based on reflective memory technology, synchronize the system at the beginning of the input scan and the end of output scan each logic scan execution to keep the controllers in lock step. Furthermore, the systems can be located up to 300 meters apart to so that any localized event affecting one system does not affect the other.
PACSystems High Availability is designed to operate as a single, complete system, therefore eliminating the complex preparations typically associated with synchronizing and data transfer.
Configuration is made easy with a Redundancy Wizard that guides the user in setting up shared data and I/O for both systems in a matter of minutes.
PACSystems’ high speed memory sharing enables CPUs to be synchronized at 2.12 Gbits/second and multiple devices to transfer large amounts of data, up to 2 Mbytes, over a fiber optic deterministic network at speeds up to 20 times faster than Ethernet. The use of fiber optic connections allows users to easily operate in high-noise areas and cover large distances in real time.
“The PACSystems RX3i High Availability really maximizes return on investment,” said Bill Black, Product Manager for Controllers at GE Fanuc. “With minimized downtime in process, increased productivity with fast powerful synchronization, reduced engineering costs with easy configuration, and increased data integrity, all in the smaller footprint of the RX3i, customers really see the power of the system.”
Seamlessly integrated into the system, the high availability continues to build out the incredible value of the entire PACSystems RX3i programmable automation controller.
The PACSystems RX3i High Availability is available immediately.

S7-300/400 CPUs: Temperature Recording in the S7-CPU by Means of Pt100 Resistivity Thermometer and SITRANS TK-L Measuring Transducer
Problem
Almost everywhere where products or materials are processed or worked, the temperature has a decisive influence on the quality of the final product and the course of the process respectively. It is thus necessary to record the temperature, to interpret its influence and to specifically react to changes in temperature using control technology.
Solution
The device combination of SIMATIC products and SIEMENS temperature sensors including measuring transducers is an excellent solution to the mentioned problem. In this application, a Pt100 sensor records the temperature of a measuring object and a SITRANS TK-L measuring transducer converts the sensor’s measuring signal into an injected current which is supplied to an analog input of the compact CPU. The current temperature measurement value is displayed both numerically and as a bar chart on a TP170A touch panel.
Using the special STEP7 application software, which you can download (see below), it is additionally possible to …
-
define seven temperature ranges which are displayed on the touch panel and represented by DO bits. These bits can be used to trigger various user actions.
-
display limit temperature violations requiring acknowledgement, react to them (in the program) and acknowledge them.
-
provide the last insufficient or excess temperature with a time stamp.
The WinCC flexible configuration of the TP170A is integrated in the STEP7 project. The user interface languages German and English can be selected.
