I think the best way to achieve this would be to create a ramping Set-Point. Do a PID / PIDAT function block to control torque then also another function block to creat the ramp of the torque increase. You simply could read your current torque and required torge and do simple mathes to to add a certain value onto the Setpoint. You could use a clock pulse and a scale instruction to do this. If you were thinking of making variable Integral times and control the ramp this way I believe you will end with a system that will not work and go unstable.

Hi, What are you trying to sense? and is this purely a distance measurment? Does the object have different colours, levels of reflectiveness and what is the environment. And why are you wanting a sensor with communications output and not Analogue? I know a lot of questions but I believe need to understand the application better to be able to help.

Just a question, Have you thought about installing an NQ terminal with Webserver function at the PLC? Or is there an NS terminal there already? Then all you would need is an explorer software on your cell phone to view the PLC information. Its a simple solution that requires no software setup of messing about. You just need to create access to the IP address of HMI, tunnel routing is an easy option. Then anyone with log-details can view the information and no special software needs to be installed on cell, PC or PDA.

Just a couple of quesions: How many nodes (PLC'S) do you wish to inter-connect? How many words of data to transfer? You could use the really simple Serial PLC Link setting. Pg 352 of manual Cat. No. W471-E1-01 Up to ten words per Unit can be shared by up to nine CPU Units, including one Polling Unit and eight Polled Units. An RS-422A/485 Option Boards (CP1W-CIF11) are used to communicate via RS- 422A/485, or RS-232C Option Boards (CP1W-CIF01) can be used to communicate between two CPU Units via an RS-232C connection. CJ1M CPU Units can also be included in Serial PLC Links, and the Serial PLC Links can also include PTs as Polled Units via 1:N NT Links. Note Serial PLC Links can be created on serial port 1 or serial port 2, but not on both ports at the same time.

If you need specific NQ Information, email me: adrian.dodd@eu.omron.com. The manual is not finished yet! this is why you are having trouble trying to locate it. With such long cable runs, I think MODBus would fincially be the best option and the one with the most flexibilty. The FB's are done for easy MODBus comm's. Which country are you in? I am guessing Europe, as Asia/Pacific have a similar screen NP, but not 100% similar. I can get contact details for your country support but please be aware the product is not launched in all countries yet and the software is not yet freely avaliable. Once it is, it will be gratis and able to be got my myomron.com.

I dont know if this is any help but this works no problem with CPM2 and Wavecom GSM. You will probably need to change the AT command ASCII string. PLC_SMS.cxp
