  1. word lamp & color shape addressing

    pszczepan, The Word Lamp uses the whole word even though there are 10 possible values (states). If a value greater then 10 is placed in the word (i.e. Any bit other then the first 4 are on) the lamp will display the color10(value9) condition. I don't believe there is any way to limit the word value or free up bits 4-15.
  2. Program Too Large

    Tigamaroo1999, CJ1M-CPU23 has 20K program capacity not 10K.
  3. NE1A safety controller

    chainsaw, What version of NE1A are you using? This was a big issue in the original version of the NE1A and I believe the only way to get local status is to map the local inputs to allocated slave I/O in the logic editor. These points can then be registered in the NSJ. I heard they fixed this issue with the second series SPU2 NE1A. I have not used the newer hardware so I can not be of any additional help. Good Luck.
  4. CJ1M Serial Port to JV Inverter?

    jstan2700, I would look at using serial gateway on the host link port(assuming CJ is Ver. 3.0 or greater) and sending Modbus RTU commands to the 3G3JV drive through the CMND command (FINs command 2804 Hex). Cheers.
  5. Omron Zen

    RDengtech, Well it sounds like you did your homework. If I were to design a Zen program based on what I understand to be your application, it would look like the following: TransmissionSeq.pdf Don't know if this is exactly what you wanted,but, it may help to solve the application. Cheers
  6. part counter

    hondo, If you mean BCD (Binary Coded Decimal) then replace the ++(590) with ++B(594). If you mean Unsigned Decimal(Binary) then what you have is correct in terms of data storage, however, you may be displaying it as Hex. You can usually change the display from Hex to Unsigned Decimal in the HMI itself. Look for the following: Data Storage Type and/or Display Type. Data Storage = UINT(unsigned 1 word) Display Type = Decimal. Hope this helps. P.S. Differentiation "@" will still need to be included in the instruction or selected in the 0.00 contact.
  7. PLC Law

    PLC Law 44 - Before troubleshooting anything make sure the program on your PC is the same as that in the PLC!
  8. Communcation between CJ1 and Eurotherm 2704

    Sasan, Depending on the version of CJ you have Modbus ASCII/RTU maybe possible on the HOST Link port with the Serial Gateway Proticol. You then might be able to use a CJ1W-CIF11 or equivalent to communicate to the Eurotherm TC. Save some $$. I have not tried this particular combination,but, would be interested to know if someone has? MiniH
  9. best way to convert pulse into value

    ahuat, Can I ask what PLC you are interfacing to?
  10. Omron Zen

    RDengtech, Take a look at the following site: http://www.zen.omron.co.jp/eng/index.html It contains a lot of sample code as well as both the programming and operation manuals for the Zen. The Zen Software (ZEN-SOFT01-V4) also contains a simulation utility which is quite handy for learning up on this product. I do have a small word of caution with the Zen. Unlike a PLC which executes Left - Right, Top to Bottom the Zen executes all rungs from left to right at the same time,therefore, sequential operations in the same scan are not possible. Additional logic may be required to account for above Hope this helps and good luck. MiniH
  11. Suitable PLC for in car mounting?

    Hello David, May I suggest Omron's CPM2B series of PLC's which have 12VDC supply models. If you do decide to go with a CJ/CP1 series of PLC and want to standerdize on Omron product may I suggest their S82S series of power supply's which have a 12VDC to 24VDC model. Just a suggestion. David, Prior to the introduction of the "-V2" series of Zens (DC models were only available in 24VDC) I had an application where we used a S82S to a DC powered Zen. It worked great!!
  12. Conect CXP through PLC to PLC via CLK21

    edpuente, Replace unit 6. with unit 0 with regard to the following and you should have no issues. Remember you want a connection to the CPU not the card in CX-Pro.
  13. NS5-TQ00-V2 PORT BARCODE SCANNER

    I was able to use a Microscan MS-3 Laser bar code reader to an Omron NSJ8 on port B. The scanner must have a Preamble = STX, Postamble = ETX. and the baudrate, parity, stop bit(s), etc.. must be matched on the scanner to Port B settings. Omron RS232 ports are also "pinned" different then PC ports of the same type. Make sure you account for this in the connection cable. In CX-Desighner you want to create a String Display and Input functional object. Under the Keyboard tab in the proporties settings you must select "Other Input Method" as the Input method. In order to read the bar code into the functional object you must also set focus in the String Display and Input functional object(usually done by touching the object). The bar code will now be read directly into the String Display and Input. In order to transfer the Ascii string you must also create a control button to enter the input value. Hope this helps.
