Hello, When i installed cx-one on my pc , win7/64 went OK with no errors. I assume it did installed as 32 bits because is listed in the program files (x86) When i connect a PLC - cp1l in particular i have, windows does not find the driver. I pointed to the usb folder in the omron directory, but no luck. It works under windows xp fine, but in windows 7 /64 bits does not. When i try to manualy select the inf file , i get an error, that drivers are for 32 bits windows and not for 64. I cheked with FTDI, which have 64 bits driver, but they do not work with Omron. Omron, used its own signature on the driver so it not install a diferent driver. Does anybody has 64 bits usb drivers for Omron ? If yes, please point wher to download them Thank you Ion

Thank you very much I will try

Hi, I am using cx programer 9, and cp1l with serial port 1 , 9600.8.N.1 My PC has an prolific usb to serial adaptor Port has the same parameters as the PLC I can connect on line, download evreting, upload Symbols and Coments, BUT, when i try to upload the program or setting, i get an error message, Upload Failed. Any sugestion Thank you Ion

I connected with USB and setup serial 1 as hostlink serial 2 as toolbus On the pc side, i have the same cable usb-serial I just change the protocol , depending in which port i plug Toolbus never get connected Do i have to change any switch setting for toolbus ? Thank you

It is curious, but i can connect with sysmacway but i cannot connect with tool bus I did like you said, the same speed and protocol on each side The plc is a CPM1-L Any sugestion why ? Thank you

I do not have any issue with the USB My problem it is the serial port , and i am curiuous to know why

Thank you very much I will contact them Ion

Hi, I have a interface from plc to rs232 and the fujitsu connector is broken I need the part number to buy a replacement and a supplier The same happen with a CIF02 for a CQM1 plc Please help Thank you Ion

Thank you very much Ion

Hi Jay, What is the Fujitsu part number for the connector ? Thank you Ion

Hello, I have an issue with the in line monitoring. Software is cx one ver4, and the pc is windows xp. I use a cp1l and the serial port on the cpu and serial port on the pc ( true serial, no usb converter) It happens many times, when i am on line , that i get that red message, about lost communication. The speed is 9600/9/1/N Host link. I would like to know , where to read ,or somebody can tell me, how many bytes usually Omron send in a package to the pc -10, 20,100, or how long is the message sent to pc, and how long is the message sent from pc. I am looking for a general idea, not the exact number of bytes. The maximum, number of bytes which will be in a packet. Also, assuming the plc and pc reply almost instantly, how many packets are sent per seconds ? Maybe it is something wrong with my serial card or i do not know. I tried for example to talk to a PIC, and using just a max232 did not work. Max was too slow. I am using now a max3225 , up to 1 megabyte , and is fine. Please help Thank you Ion Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it

Michael, YOU are a real life server. It works like a charm I did beg Omron Canad for more that 6 month for that and thay told me is no driver, just buy the cable adaptor .... he he he , they must be realy hungry. Thank you very much Please write me at igeorge @ rogers.com for a private issue. Best regards Ion

I use cx programmer and supervisor with my HP laptop with only USB ports . I bought one USB to RS232 converter from Ionetworks and works like a charm. The product is called Edgeport1 and is simple and reliable The link to the site is: http://www.ionetworks.com/products/edgeport.html In Canada you can get it from OMron direct. For US I dont knoe but try to call the number on the link and find a distributor near you. Happy programming Ion

Thaks Jay for your constant help and contribution . I just found today that there is a bug in CX Supervisor. The folowing situation did happened: Excel reported the answer to my condition IF as "true" or false". CX sup. does not understand the words true or false. It just take 0 or 1. The solution is to force Excel to reply with 0 or 1 and the supervisior it will read it normal as an input point. example IF(A>B,"0")  or IF(A For this particular case I used 0 and 1 and the supervisor treat them as an boolian answer. ION

I have defined in cx one Bool point which is input type dde. I have Excel linked to my file and colect some data. Based in this data I calculate the value of that point if is true or false. I get the right anser, but in cx  I dont see any change. I have a field which is supposed to change the colour if  the point is true or false. nothing happened. I put that poit to be updatede in 500 ms interval. I need haelp server=excel topic=pcs.xls name=st1g point name= st1g type =bool i/o=input i/o attribute=DDE dde atribute=read only ole atribute=read only the excel file works fine with the integers for calculating data, just this point does not update to change the colour

HI, I need help to log some  the value in 20 dm  to an microsoft acces file or to excel. For access i managed to get a log for one dm value but when i expanded to 20 i did not get anything, not even the first one. The second question is refered to the tab loging before  database tab. Do I need to use or set up anything there to get my values on excel or access. I work in a project for school and i need help fast. I tryed to read the tutorial in the manual for database but is confusing because it is not refering to PLC direct, mostly is related to sale data base. Thank you Ion

I need to display a value of a memory integer point "shift_nr" based on the time of day. midnight to 8 am  value =1 8am to 4 pm value =2 4 pm to midnight  value =3 I need help to write the script in animation editor for this operation Thanks Ion
