I also tried the "Text Library" function, where you can enter a Name and then States for example IO Card 0 State 0 Message -  Cyl A Home State 1 Message - Cyl A Work But when I choose "Text Library - IO Card 0"   in the Text,  it only shows State 0 Message (Cyl A Home).      It would be nice to pick and choose which state, so that way I can enter all the text in the text library and just pick the message.   All I am trying to avoid here is to click and enter a message on every IO point.   Excel makes it much easier to deal with lots of text and messages.

Hi Crossbow, In CX-Designer, I used "Use String Table"  and then just entered all the IO for the whole line in Excel in CXV/ imported it . Also, CX-Designer allows u to use "Indirect Reference of String" where you can choose a file with 8 lines of Text and then on IO screen just specify the line # I was hoping there was some similar way to enter all the text in Excel and import it in NB Designer.   

Hello I am trying to create some IO Screens in NB Designer. Anyone worked with it?  What is the best way. Lets say I want to display 16 bits of a IO card.   I created 16 Bit Lamps.  Beside those bit lamps I want to put text like "Station X - Jaw Cyl Home  ..." Is there a fast / easy way to do it?  Because I am dealing with hundreds of IO, and not want to click on each box to enter it.

Hello everyone,   I am setting up NB Screen with Alarm History / Active Alarms just like CX-Designer.   IT SUCKS!!! It takes forever to set something like that.   Anyone has worked with NB screen can give me a quick start / demo project to start with.  I am specially inerested in Alarm History / Active Alarm screens.   Thankyou

Yes, IO_Rack,    i wished it would be easier to tag bunch of members of UDT easily.  

Thankyou very much.  Michael, that is what I was looking for .   Method #2 Too bad, I cannot apply the 2nd method on CX-Programmer,  since you cannot override the comments everytime you use the UDT.  It only uses the comments that is inside the UDT.   And then, that works bad, since its too generic.  Every cylinder in that station will have same name like "Cylinder"   or "Cylinder 1".   But I want it to be unique, like shown in Picture #2.

Yes, If there are 10 cylinders in that station, I will have this UDT used 10 times Station1_C1.CM  (Comment - Cylinder) Station1_C2.CM (Comment - Cylinder) As you can see above,  if UDT has its member named as "Cylinder",  it will display the same comment everywhere. But if somehow if individual comment is possible,  I would rather have this Station1_C1.CM (Station 1 - Cylinder 1 Extend Command) Station1_C2.CM (Station 1 - Cylinder 2 Extend Command)   Is that possible?    

Hello there, Is it possible to put individual Comments on members of UDT.   For example, I have a UDT called Cylinder Cylinders has 2 members (CM   (Command - BOOL) and CP (Complete - BOOL)   Now if I use this UDT in many stations, it would be   Station1_.CM    - It  will take its comment from the UDT and will be called "Command"   But I want this to be commented unique .... like Station 1 - Cylinder 1 - Command   Is it possible in NJ  or CJ Processors????

Thankyou very much Jay, Michael and Bits N Bytes for your inputs.  You guys are great!!!!!!!!!!

Hello All, We have a TRD-NA  10 Bit Abosolute Encoder with a resolution of 1024.   How do I hook this absolute Encoder to Omron CJ2 Series PLC to get a position????  Do I need a specific Card?   Here's wiring scheme for TRD-NA Blue - 0V Brown - 12/24 V Black - Bit 0 Red - Bit 1 Orange - Bit 2 Yellow  - Bit 3 Green - Bit 4 Purple - Bit 5 Gray - Bit 6 White - Bit 7 Black/White - Bit 8 Red/White - Bit 9 Shield - GND        

Thank you Michael, You are a great resource and help! You should write books & tutorials on PLC. I looked all around on omron's website, manuals, and they had limited information on index registers. They are basically useless. Thankyou again!

Hi All, I am performing some data search from D0 TO D100 using RSearch and Index Registers. I want to know how to move the data contained within the address in the index registor or display it on HMI??? For example, I have a value stored in D0 = &100. Now if I search for &100, IR0 will tell me that the value matched in 10000 (10000 = D0) I believe the register 10000 is a RAW PLC adress ... how do I Move the value from Registor # 10000 to some D area.... or display register 10000 on H MI? For example.... RAW REGISTOR # 10000 contains a value = &100 I want to do some kind of move to another DM location so if my HMI is displaying D500 then 10000 > DM500 = &100 I just don't know how to address these RAW addressing in fucntions... like MOV 10000 D500

Thankyou very much Michael, IT WORKED!!! THANKYOU THANKYOU!

Hi Michael, Thankyou very much for help! I tried RSort in Emulation mode, but it did not work. Can you test this function to see if it works? I defined a 10 record (1 word per record) ( D0, D1..... upto D10) then I entered random numbers in D0 to D10. Then used RSort (with parameters set first). But RSort doesn't sort anything. Can you test this fucntion to see it works please? Thankyou
