I have read all of the topics and still a little bit confused. I have used other HMI's but a little lost with Omron's HMI. I am using a NS12-TS01B-V2, ver. 4.10 with ethernet to Omron PLC. I would like to show a fan on my Automatic screen and when I start the system up (Auto Mode) I want the Fan's blades to rotate. I understand putting the Pulse button outside of the screen, but I am lost on the Fan picture. Does Omron not offer a Fan in an object library that I can use? I don't quite understand putting the bitmaps in a text format. Can someone point my in the right direction because I'm lost like last year's Easter Egg.

Thank you, that worked a whole lot easier than having 3 lines of code.

Q02HCPU GX Dev. 8.32J version Registers Spare Registers D100 D300 D101 D301 D102 D302 D103 I want to know if there is an easier way to add 4 registers and divide the sum by 4 to get an average. I know that I can [+ D100 D101 D300] , then [+ D102 D300 D301] , [+ D103 D301 D302] , and then [/ D302 K4 D110] , which this will give me what I want, but I didn't know if you coul add all the values and divide in some sort of expression. AB will let you ( (D100+D101+D102+D103) / 4 ), so I was wondering if there is an easier way with Mitsu.?

I am having trouble try to access the individual bits in word D101. What I want to do is move a 1 into D101.1 and then when I recieve an index signal I want to transfer the 1 to D101.2, and so forth all the way up to bit 12 or D101.C. Then on I need to a way to say if D101.4 is equal to 1, start cycle. I can figure out how to move a 1 into D101.1, but I can't get the equal statement.

I think i figured it out, I need to put a 1 into D101, and then move D101 into an empty 16 bit M word. then I can monitor the M bits.

Contrologix to PLC-5 comms, Writing data from clgx to plc5 I read this post but it didn't go far enough for my issue. I have a PLC 5/40 rev. E and a L32E. I can see both processors on our network thru RSLinx Classic. The CLX has an ethernet IP Address and the PLC 5 is bridged thru TCP-1 Ethernet, but is communicating DH+ thru another backplane. Also, the CLX is on our 192.168 network and the TCP Bridge is using our 172.29 network. I have tried to setup the MSG information but am not recieving any bit transfers, I keep getting a connection failure. I have used MSG before but nothing like what I'm trying to do. Am what I am trying to do impossible?

I got it guys, just took alittle hair pulling. I figured out the Path: has to go all the way up to where the DHRIO is located and then under Communication Method is where the path continues on. Thanx for all the advice and help. She is ENing and DNing all day long, look at her go! LocalENB, 2, 172.29.62.12, 1, 1 CHANNEL 'A' SOURCE LINK 99 DEST. LINK 1 DEST. NODE 21

As you can see from the uploaded image, that IP has multiple processors under the TCP Bridge. If i get rid of the 1, 21, do i need to use DH+ and fill in those settings?

I don't believe I have my MSG setup correctly. Right now my Read MSG in the CLX is Path=LocalENB, 2, 172.29.62.12, 1, 21 CIP I tried DH+ but have had no success either. i have attached a print screen of what my RSLinx looks like, along with the PLC 5 Controller properties information.

I am trying to communicate to a A851GOT-SWD and I keep getting a timeout. In the GOT I have PC Comm. set to 38400 and I also have the correct GOT picked. I have changed my port settings on my laptop to 38400, 8, none, 1, none, but I keep getting a timeout. I have RSLogix turned off. The version of the GOT is 1.03. Does any one know if I need a straight thru cable or do I need to swap some pins around on the 9 pin connector. Also can I not talk thru the mitsubishi PLC? PLC is a A2S series. The software that I am trying to talk to the HMI s SW3N1W-A8GOTP, ver. 10M. Anyone have any suggestions or a comm. cable pinout? It is either the cable or the settings in my laptop.

Thank you for the info., but I have a project that I need to alter the A851, so I need an older laptop and put the software on to that?

Here is something simple to use for a pull logic. Lets say these will be your requests. It has been along day and I am at a different laptop but here is something to work with. I have used it for multiple welding gun applications which allows any gun to weld at any one time. This will allow any slot to be picked at anyone time. -N.O. b3:11/1---------------------------------add 1 n7:10 n7:10 -N.O. b3:10/0---------------------------------ote b3:11/1 -N.O. b3:10/1--| -N.O. b3:10/2--| etc.... -lim 11 n7:10 0-------------------------------mov 1 n7:10 -equ n7:10 1-----N.O.your bit---------------ote b3:10/0 goto & pick slot 1 -equ n7:10 2-----N.O.your bit---------------ote b3:10/1 goto & pick slot 2 etc.... Now all you have to do is add another condition to the GOTO & PICK SLOT X output, How ever you are calling it up the slots now just add that N.O. If you don't want to pick then don't turn on your N.O. and the add function will keep on adding/looping, and not stop. Use the OTE and a one-shot to goto your ouput for that slot to be picked(your program). This is just to get you started or show you another door to look in. Like I said it has been a long day so work with it. I can write it out tomorrow but that might be to late, try it and massage it.

I didn't notice in the posts earlier, Have you tried going to RS Linx Classic Gateway.

It looks like that when you highlighted CLX in your second picture that there is an extra space after the CLX. Have you tried deleting the CLX and replacing it with a new CLX or how about a different name altogether? I'm fetching now probably. http://rockwellautomation.custhelp.com/cgi...p?p_faqid=34319 Fuzzy Logic posted this on a different post but I used it for no Comm. ability but try it maybe it will fix your problem too, sometimes AB is just voo-doo. There have been plenty of times that I would try to read/write to an eni module and i could spend 2 hrs trying, walk away for 2-3 minutes and retry it and it would read/write (VOO-DOO).

In your first image posted verify offline tag file is the current plc. Click browse and reselect the plc program being used. Also double check your RSLinx Enterprise. Once you double click on Enterprise, you need to verify that the offline tag, and the 2 other boxes are up to date with the correct plc. What I meant before is did you save the plc as a different name than what it was before you started? Also local and target should be identical, did you copy from local to target?

anytime you save the RS5000 plc program to a different name you need to update the RSlinx Enterprise, Communicarion Setup. The reason being is the tags are assigned to that plc name and if you change the name of the plc then the tags can communicate with the new name. this FYI. Did you change the name of the exsisting PLC?

I had the same problem and the answer above worked for me.

The ones that are starting unexpectedly, where are they in location to the ones that are working correctly? Are all of them grouped together? What I'm getting at is try swapping one that works correctly with one that is acting weird, and see if the problem follows? No matter what the outcome is it atleast gives you a point to start looking at.

Sounds good, but it shouldn't have to be like that. I'm taking this as it was a new purchased item, and they say that all devices are tested, but here a case that isn't true. The problem is now you have to wait even longer to get a replacement when you had a workable device in your hands.

just put a TON at the end of the line, create a new tag, lets call it TIMER. Now when you want to create a timer done or timer timing bit, all you have to do is find TIMER in the drop down box(of the NO or NC contact) and you will have all of the available options, EN, TT,DN,etc.. Counter is the same process. CTU

I use a nibbler that works perfect for HMI cutouts. It is 110Vac and works like a paper whole punch, and it will cut thru anything. First you have to drill an access hole but after that the nibbler will take care of it and it will not scratch the panel like a jigsaw can.

I believe I had this issue before a long time ago, and I'm going from memory. Check that all locking tabs are locked, end cap is installed and if I remeber correctly if you pull out the controller module, and disconnect the battery for 5 minutes it resets or near the battery plugin there are some reset pins that you have to use a small screwdriver to short together.

I NEED TO KNOW OF AWAY TO DUMP THE MEMORY OF A CJ1M PROCESSOR?

This is my opinion. I design and install/service equipment/machines and i have found that having the serial is a must. I don't know if your service guys use a varienty of different manufactures for plc, but you might want to consider that for future use. Other manufactures have to have a serial port. So you might want to think about other plc's, hmi's than just AB. If it were me i would pay the extra money to get the serial because that is what they are used to and they(service guys) know it is going to work. There is nothing more frustrating than using something new that says will work and you are sitting there pulling out your hair trying to make it work.

you will need to use produced & consumed tags. If you search thru this site there is an explanation and examples but attached is what i found and used and it works pretty good. also you might need to use the port on the compact to a communication module that converts to DH485. MicroLogix 1761-NET-A/C networking device and 1761-CBL-AC00 cable in each line’s PLC and connect then to the Ethernet. This will provide Ethernet communication to your DH system with its inherent flexibility Produced___Consumed_Tags.zip
