crossbow, many thanks for the reply! SVN

The maintenance manual for A373CPU specifies software SW0IX-GSV21PE for developing the sequence program for the SCPU part and motion control program and data for PCPU part of the CPU. This software is DOS based and very old. Which is the last Windows based software, which supports the uploading of the motion control program and data from the PLC? The GX-Developer is able to upload the Sequence program part but there is no provision to upload the motion control part. MT Developer 2 also does not support the A373 CPU. Is there a way out? Thanks in advance. SVN

I know that there are following masters for ASi in Omron. I have not used these modules hence you have to check the availability with Omron 1) CQM1-ARM21: ASi master for CQM1 / CQM1H series 2) DRT1-ARM21: ASi Master as DeviceNet slave. This can be used with Omron Devicenet masters CS1W-DRM21-V1, CJ1W-DRM21 etc. Hope this helps! SVN

Thanks for the response. I shall check the price of Wago and Beckhoff. These I/Os are quite similar in I/O densities to Omron SmartSlice. SVN

ParaffinPower, Thanks for the response. I have already considered the Smartslice option but because of low per-unit I/O density of Smartslice I/Os, the system is becoming costlier. Hence I am looking for other options. SVN

I know that CS1D simplex and duplex systems support insertion and removal of I/O and other units under power. I think no other series of Omron PLCs support this. My application does not require redundancy but requires insertion / removal of I/O under power. CS1D-S is costly for the application. I also know that Slice I/Os support this feature but considering the low I/O density of the units, the cost becomes high. So my question is, has anybody used third party cost-effective I/Os (on ethernetIP or devicenet) which support this feature but work with Omron CS or CJ as master? If yes then were there any integration problems? Thanks in advance. SVN

ANDY_P, the Omron CJ2 range supports this. Recently, I have used it in one project, it is really good. I used CX-Programmer 9.1. SVN

Hi canalier, Try Bartec displays. I have used Bartec many times. They have Host Link driver. I don't know their latest developments, but the original driver was for C series PLCs. We have used this driver successfully with C200H Alpha and CS1. They have Windows based screen development software. R.Stahl also have Host Link for serial and FINS for ethernet. 1) http://www.bartec.de/homepage/eng/20_produkte/130_automatisierung/s_20_130_100.shtml 2) http://www.r-stahl.com/products-and-systems/operating-and-monitoring-systems/operator-interfaces-eagle.html Hope this helps. SVN

vorbis, You can try Red Lion DSPLE protocol converter for CQM1 and CQM1H PLCs. It supports Host Link protocol on serial port and FINS protocol on Ethernet port. Hope this helps. SVN

Visiting this forum after a gap of few days. Very happy to be of help! SVN

1) You can have CJ2M CPU with built-in Ethernet/IP (CPU31 etc.) 2)CP1W-CIF12 is isolated and can go up to 500 m. NT-AL001 no more required Hope this helps SVN

It seems so. Please see attached datasheet for C200H-IP007. Please re-check with local Omron representative. Regards, SVN C200H_IP007.pdf

There are two possibilites - 1) Mount Host Link unit 3G2A6-LK201 on peripheral port and connect it with corresponding RS232 cable to serial port of PC 2) If your CPU model no. ends with -EV1 then you can mount C200H-IP007 on peripheral port and connect it with CQM1-CIF02 cable to serial port of PC Hope this helps SVN

The source code is with the company which developed the driver. It was based on the 'C' source code given in ETN11 manual. The companyhas shifted their focus from linux to embedded development and Windows. The porting to Ubuntu was done by different company. SVN

In 2001, we got it developed (but only for DM read and DM Write). It was written in Java and was used with CS1W-ETN11. The OS was Redhat Linux 7. Two years back , the application was ported to Ubuntu. SVN
