For a C200H, you will require a host link, either a rack mounted type (would have to turn the PLC off to mount it) or a 3G2A6-LK201E CPU mounted portable host link. You may also require a stand off to lift the host link above any I/O cards that are mounted next to the processor. You may be able to find these on E-bay. And then make a cable to use with it.

I am over USB/Ethernet ports - USB ports kept dying - big footed electricians in plant rooms falling over the cables. Went looking for a laptop with a real Ethernet port - finished up buying an ASUS TUF gaming laptop - latest Ryzen processor - latest nVidia graphics card - it flies. Proper Ethernet port and a fairly rugged laptop as well. Others I saw had drop down Ethernet ports and they just looked like trouble. Tried to install CX-One and the only language choice that came up were several forms of Chinese. Finally found what caused the issue - ASUS had installed the Chinese language on the computer - removed it and US English came up straight away. If you have this problem remove Chinese LOL.

Oh thank you - that simple! Will go and fix it straight away.

I have just installed CX-One on a new laptop. When I use the scaling function block by Michael Walsh and compile I get the attached message - have never seen it before. Never had it on the old laptop and do not have it on the desktop either. CX-P does not like the +0.0 etc when putting in the REAL scaling values. HELP!

Real Ethernet port as opposed to flimsy drop down ones and I hate those USB adapters - the USB ports die. Last laptop lasted 6 months - had 3 USB ports - 1 dead - 1 very dicky - third one for the mouse adapter. Never used surge diverters and have never had a laptop smoked.

My bad - sorry - added an extra 0. channel 120 is still CIO though. The C200H is old and dead really. I have not used a serial driver with Citect for a very long time - always Ethernet these days. There used to be some pretty good help files built into Citect.

1200.00 to 1200.15 is CIO.

Thanks Michael - yes - memory has been moved and expanded to E.

I normally use the PMCR system for Modbus RTU reads but have an absolute heap on this job I am working on (4 serial cards - stuff from everywhere) so have decided to use the function block method - it will be easier. Attached is a file which is my method that I hope will work for a small part of the job. I have used a counter to step the reads and a bit counter to count the done bits and step the counter on to the next read. Not sure if this will work but assume that when a done bit turns on and the counter moves to the next read the done bit will turn off and then when the next read takes place that done bit will turn on and step the counter again. If any of you have used this before would you mind checking my code please. If it will not work I do not want to be programming a heap of stuff that will not work. Thanks for any comments.

Ta.  

When editing rung comments in CX-P how do you wrap text to the next line? Line is getting too long and text needs to start on the next line. Like this LOL. Enter does not work but closes the dialog window.

Oooh - no takers? Surprised. Michael Walsh?

I understand Advanced HMI has an Omron driver.

Use the Modbus function block as above - it works with a bit of manipulation.

I strongly recommend using ANDW as described for separating the time segments - I use it all the time.It is seamless.

Raw CIP - eeek! Last time I did that was donkey's years ago on Device Net. Not for the faint hearted. Do not even have it now - old computer crashed.

MOV &0000 D100 will clear it.

Michael - thanks - will give it a go.

The only thing I can find in help re using the buzzer is to use a multi function button. I want to use the buzzer as an alarm buzzer and turn on $SB13 or $SB14 from a bit in the PLC. Can anyone help please?

Michael I did not enable run as I do not need it. I did enable basics and from the initial value page tried to enable bit 14 but it will not enable - will not turn on. That is what I was referring to.

'err' to 'on' - where? I thought from the page checking basics and the selecting on or off would do it but cannot select on.

OK - tried it out today. Selected basics but it appears one has to click on each individual item to enable ii "on" or "off" - cannot click on these at all and enable them. $SB has been allocated to channel 700. Turn on 700.14 in the PLC and nothing happens.

figured it out mate - will be onsite doing tomorrow. Will let you know how I go.

Ta chelton - found it.
