  6. Hi, I see that you have already programmed a 765-4502 with studio 5000. I have a problem, after importing the EDS file, it creates my variables associated with the Wago, however I do not have access to the output to drive my io/link. How did you import the EDS file? Best regards
  7. Hello, I am working with modbus module QJ71MB91. I want to ask how to configure Write/Read coils? For example, I have two slave modules that need to read the bit status (run/stop).  + Slave 1, I choose to read to the 2000h buffer. (transfer to D1000 register) + Slave 2, I choose to read to the 2001h buffer. (transfer to D1001 register) So, the bit status (run/stop) will be written to the first bit of the registers, right? + 2000h => D1000.0 + 2001h => D1001.0 Thank you for your suggestion.

  12. Hello, I'm pretty new to Mitsubishi stuff and I inherited a project where I have a iq-R PLC with with RD75 motion modules and I want to be able to control the jog speed of an axis with a joystick. The joystick works, I can see the analog value change while moving it. Jogging works and I'm able to set a speed with the joystick but subsequent movement of the joystick doesn't change the speed. Any tips? I feel like the axis busy signal gets in the way of changing the jog speed while jog is active. I've tried using the M+RD75_SpeedChange_00A function and changing the udJogSpeed_D label neither of which work after jogging is enabled.

  14. Backup program CQM1H CPU51, 21

    IO_Rack replied to A2N's topic in Other Omron Software

    Using the backup tool for the CQM1H will not be possible with any version. This function was added somewhere during the life cycle of the CS/CJ PLCs. It was intended to restore the PLC program, PLC settings, I/O table, and memory in one simple step. You can make a complete backup doing the following: 1) PLC > Transfer > From PLC 2) Go to Settings in the project tree. Click Options > Transfer from PLC. 3) a) Go to Memory in the project tree.      b) Double Click HR and DM.      c) Click Online > Transfer from PLC.      d) Check HR and DM then click Transfer From PLC. (Make sure Transfer Range is set to All)      e) Select File > Save in Project. The CQM1H does not have an I/O Table so that will not be necessary. You may want to verify if any Non-Default Expansion Instructions are used. I don't know how to back them up with CX Programmer, or if it's necessary. It's been a while since I've dealt with them.  
  15. Dear Sirs, I am trying to make a backup of a CQM1H CPU51 PLC with the CX-Programmer PLC Backup Tools, but it does not allow me to select this CPU model. Could someone send me a previous version? It only allows me CJ1x, CPxx, CSx and NSJ   Thanks you very much

    I had a similar problem to this a while back, it turned out to a be a bug in the firmware, I reported to my omron rep and he couldn't reproduce it until he downgraded the firmware. If you change the model version to something higher the firmware will update when you connect to it next time, sysmac comes with the required firmware to update it, see if it helps.
  18. You should be able to use it with the NJ then. You just need to install the ESI (EtherCAT Slave Information) file for the Schneider drive.

  19. Can I use a Schnider AC servo Drive with Omron NJ series controller

    Good Day All, I have a problem when downloading data to the PLC IQ R. How do I solve it?  

  27. Real-time tag data in email

    BobLfoot replied to PaulKim1003's topic in Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation

    There may be a better way to do this PaulKim, but a string tag is actually a defined data type of several elements.  A Length Variable usually a SINT/DINT and then an array of SINTS.  To add tag data to your email body it is a simple matter of copying the TAG from it's register into the proper SINTs of the string for body.  And then adjusting the length variable accordingly.

  28. Tracking,

    BobLfoot replied to ABlearner's topic in Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation

    @ABlearner Couple of quick observations about your program: 1.  If this is in the Continuous Task the following will be true:        A) Your trigger will happen every {5000ms + Continuous Task Scan MS} in time.        B) Your shift will almost never happen exactly at 5000ms because the first scan where timer is done could be at 5000 ot 5000 + scan. 2.  If accuracy is critical - consider eliminating the timer, using a counter and moving the BSL to a periodic Task triggered every 1000 ms.\ Note you can't move the BSL to a periodic task scanned every 5000 ms because the BSL input must see the Negative to Positive transition for each shift.

  29. Conveyor flow logic

    BobLfoot replied to brisutterfield's topic in Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation

    I will look when I get home tonight that code if I still have it is over 17 years old and comes from four jobs before the one I hold now.  It probalby was 'stripped" / lost from the post when the webmaster migrated servers back around 2010 or 2015.  {I've slept cince then} LOL.
  30. Hi all, I have a global customer that still uses FTV SE version 10 (I'm sure some may know who). I provide a customised solution using CompactLogix 5380 series PLC and an FTV SE application for part of their operations. Something that has been on my mind for a while is the ability of local tags or variables held only at the display client (thin client in this case). I have used HMI tags and also tags in the PLC, but my need for local client tags is that I hold the current display name and importantly, the area of the display page. Essentially I use a common display page to show one of two areas, they are identical in appearance, just different areas, and make good use tag substitution by passing a parameter file to the selected display page. While the methods above appear to work, I wonder what happens when two users at two different display clients operate the application, selecting different pages from my menu. With either HMI tags or PLC tags, they would simply get over written by the last write by the last user, hence why I would like to use tags local to the display client. I would like to avoid any use of HMI tags stored on the server if possible. Any advice is much appreciated.  
  31. There's several.  The embedded service packet carries multiple nested requests/replies.  Its first data word is the quantity.  Then, a word for each embedded request/reply containing the byte offset from the beginning of data for that embedded request/reply.  From there, decode a reply as usual (byte echo of service with high bit flipped, reserved byte, status byte, byte for extra status length...).

  33. Just one more question, Where is this CIP status code in wireshark packet? As you mentioned here, it is 6. I am not able to find this in wireshark packet.

    Stevepjr replied to Stevepjr's topic in NJ Series / Sysmac Studio

    Thanks for the reply Crossbow. Is there a way to find this out? If I look at the size of each page they are set to 1280x800 (except for popups of course). And the size grayed out so i can't change any values. I'm assuming that is hard-set when you select your HMI. 

  40. CRC: using different polynomials in GXworks 3

    Saxony Thermal replied to Saxony Thermal's topic in Mitsubishi

    I was able to get ahold of mitsubishi tech support and they read over the manual with me. They assured me that there is no way to change its polynomial output and were even surprised that some CRC function existed at all. Well, the time has come to make it from scratch in pure LD. Wish me luck. *jack hammer noises

  42. Powerflex 40 Firmware update

    Joe E. replied to Shomation's topic in Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation

    To add to ElectronGuru's warning, I've seen a firmware update fail on a PF7xx once that bricked the drive. Thankfully, we had a spare on hand. Doubly thankfully, the one doing the flashing was an AB engineer so they ate the cost of the replacement. I've generally seen FW updates on PLCs and modules go pretty smoothly, but I would be cautious about flashing a drive. Could be that I'm biased because I've only been involved with a very small number of them and one of them failed but if I didn't really need the updated FW in that drive, I'd probably leave it alone.

  43. Powerflex 40 Firmware update

    ElectronGuru replied to Shomation's topic in Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation

    Go to Rockwell's Product Compatibility and Download Center (PCDC) website here: https://compatibility.rockwellautomation.com/Pages/MultiProductSelector.aspx?crumb=111 Type "ControlFlash Plus" in the search box and chose the latest revision, and it will populate in the right-side box. Click on the down arrow below the "Download" box. This will prompt you to log in or create a user account. Anyone can create a user account and download ControlFlash and firmware. Once you're logged in, click the down button again, select the software, download and install it. Once installed, open ControlFlash Plus, scan the network with the hardware you want to flash, select the hardware and firmware revision you to flash to, and follow the prompts. IMPORTANT! Do not remove power, network connection, or otherwise interfere with the flash process once it's begun. Interrupting a firmware flash will irreversibly damage your hardware.
