If you have your license number, you can use the Automatic Software Update utility to upgrade the CX-One components to the latest versions. The first time you use the utility it will ask for the email address and license number used to register and then remember it, and it offers to upgrade all CX-One and Sysmac Studio components.

Current is 1.49 as of April. I am pretty sure it's needed DirectX 11 for a long time now, possibly always with the 64-bit version. That issue says your video card does not support DirectX 11. Only way to fix that is to get a newer computer. By the way, you should post things like this in the Omron forum, many of us don't read the forums for products we don't know and can't help with...

Packaging Machine - Horizontal Flow Wrap
Crossbow replied to LD_M's topic in NJ Series / Sysmac Studio
Create one virtual axis, and issue the commands to that axis. Then using MC_GearIn and MC_GearOut, link the other axes on and off as required where you used to use gears and clutches. -
Which is exactly what I said... the machine builder should have done a more robust and most importantly repeatable homing method. Bad code...

Sysmac studio rename numbered project
Crossbow replied to a3ntin's topic in NJ Series / Sysmac Studio
I believe the idea is that you use Save As and create a new tree when you change the name. I don't think it's a bug. -
Still can't help you, never seen that product here in North America...

How can I check output to SERVO motors in ladder logic on GX developer.
Crossbow replied to Redviper's topic in Mitsubishi
The manual for the FX2N-1PG should have a program example and you can search your program for similar code. -
Best way to convert a ladder program with labels to one that uses the device
Crossbow replied to Yung_Craig's topic in Mitsubishi
I do use prefixes on mine, but only the ones below, I don't put in data type at all... This is so when I sort the variable list alphabetically they all group together... I_ for physical inputs O_ for physical outputs HMI_ for data coming from the HMI (buttons, inputs, etc) SI_ for safety inputs SO_ for safety outputs -
If you are using a structured text box in ladder, make sure the logic to the left is true, or the box doesn't execute. Other than that, check that your program is actually in a task to be executed.

Sysmac studio rename numbered project
Crossbow replied to a3ntin's topic in NJ Series / Sysmac Studio
I meant the oldest saved number, not the folder. Just tested and yes, it cannot be renamed. Properties is grayed out for all of the versions. -
Yes, clear all memory basically returns the CPU to out of the box blank. It does also do away with the encoder position. As for your 'zero position preset' comment, that is incorrect. It has nothing to do with clearing any memory. When you run MC_Home with Zero Position Preset, it takes the position the axis is in at that point and makes it home (zero)... The other methods all perform motion to find the home position.

Apparently from an Internet search, its actually called the NX70 or NX700, and they are made by Rockwell. A lot of websites and photos came up for that search. Personally never seen one, I wonder if they ever were marketed in the US...

Seeing how this post is 15 years old, I don't know if they are even still an active user... Don't think you will get a reply...

I did just get the notice, and apparently its a parts availability thing. They don't normally phase things out without a several year notice, but with the current availability crises on so many products, there's doesn't seem to be an easy option. There is no converter to NB or NA. Keep in mind NB is a budget interface, so more work is needed in the controller side to do some things that NS did in the HMI, such as accessing Sysmac variables. That being said, I have heard from many customers that they use NX1P2 controller and NB operator interface all the time, as the small NA costs more than the NX1P2 did.

The only way a download should erase the retained variables is if the check box is checked. In transfer or synchronize, there is a check box to clear the value of retained variables. Unless the entire processor memory was corrupted, those should not be lost.

Sysmac studio rename numbered project
Crossbow replied to a3ntin's topic in NJ Series / Sysmac Studio
I don't use the save as new number function, but have you tried clicking the very first one and then edit the properties? -
Haven't heard of the NS being discontinued on this side of the ocean. Where did you hear that?

Transfer/Create a program from a schneider plc to mitsubishi

It's called a variable. -
Transfer/Create a program from a schneider plc to mitsubishi
Crossbow replied to Boclo's topic in Mitsubishi
What you called HMI blocks are called function blocks, they have absolutely nothing to do with the HMI. On the second picture, they are timers. On the third pictures, compares and timers. They are not 'instructions for the HMI', if you could read you would see the comparison signs. And you do not program the HMI in the PLC. The HMI can adjust a value in the controller's memory, but the program for the HMI resides in the HMI. -

What are you talking about HMI? You never mentioned an HMI. Or anything involving passwords. Or scripts. If you have questions, you need to type them into your message. We are not psychics here. -
Problems getting online in NX-EIC202
Crossbow replied to griffih's topic in NJ Series / Sysmac Studio
You right click, "Coupler Connection (USB) and there is a submenu that comes up where you pick 'Online'. Pretty straightforward. Works perfectly for me. -
Transfer/Create a program from a schneider plc to mitsubishi
Crossbow replied to Boclo's topic in Mitsubishi
You need to look at the FX5U Programming Manual and understand the different memory areas and how they are labeled in Mitsubishi. %MW is memory words, so like D registers in Mitsu. %SW is system words, so things like diagnostic data. Old Mitsu FX products had these in the higher D registers, above 8000, not sure if the FX5U is more like Q Series and has a separate area called SD. %M is typically bit addressable internal memory, similar to M addresses on Mitsu. %I and %Q are inputs and outputs... Mitsu doesn't prefix those with any letters, they are based on the module layout. -
Sysmac Studio Improvement Request
Crossbow replied to BITS N BYTES's topic in NJ Series / Sysmac Studio
Sounds like a bug, did you contact Omron and ask about it? I have saved countless safety projects, but I do not use the version control feature. -
Sysmac Studio Improvement Request
Crossbow replied to BITS N BYTES's topic in NJ Series / Sysmac Studio
Check the error message at the exclamation point. I highly doubt you running out of I/O power (PF0630) because the software cannot calculate how much you plan to use. I bet you are low on control power (PD1000) used to power up the modules themselves. 2 different power supplies, 2 different modules. I know for a fact that Sysmac Studio takes into account the DC bus power supply. -
Omron Beckhoff EtherCAT Communication
Crossbow replied to Hadi.B's topic in NJ Series / Sysmac Studio
Sure sounds like an issue with cabling, such as grounding or electrical noise. There's no other devices on the network like an Ethernet switch or PC right? EtherCAT uses Ethernet cables, but not Ethernet devices. Make sure you are using shielded Ethernet cables, though I can admit I have use 10m unshielded cables without an error.
