SoftNA - Corrupt project on panel reboot/power loss
Crossbow replied to SKA AB's topic in NJ Series / Sysmac Studio
I have use Soft-NA for months and powered off PC many times, never had a program corruption issue. -
This post is from 2004, from a person whose account no longer exists.

I don't think so. I think the barcode function was only for the RS232 serial port. But have not touched on in years, so can't say for certain. I think the USB ports are for keyboard, mouse, flash drive only...

Unlock Proface HMI
Crossbow replied to xcyong89's topic in Modicon / Telemecanique / Schneider Electric
Nobody here can share the method to hack the HMI, because discussions of bypassing passwords are not allowed here. You agreed to that in the terms of service when you created your account. I have closed this topic. -
RWr is read word data, RWw is write word data, they should definitely NOT overlap... But both can be in any memory area...
-
There's no right or wrong way to set them. They are setting where the data will be found in the controllers memory. You can use any memory area you like. B is bit based, so it makes referencing the individual inputs and outputs easy. W is word based, so it would occupy words of memory and individual bits could be addressed with a period, such as W10.0. Both B and W address in hex, most people use these for CC-Link because of its default allocation size being 32 bits in and out per station... so station 1 would be B700-B71F, and so on...

Pretty sure the NJ and NX don't have control words anymore, and there are settings in the module when you right click on it and select Edit Unit Operation Settings. Then variables get mapped to the module's data in the I/O Map window.

I don't know any safety CPU with an analog input. Analog signals are not typical safety devices.
-
Adding more devices to the network will use more addresses in those ranges, and I suspect the issue is RWr will overlap into RWw. They should be farther apart. Your new device cannot be set for a node address under 16, those are all in use. Look at the second number in the station number columns, the first is simply a device number, the second is the first station number. Some of those devices occupy 4 stations. Stations through 15 are all used.

Almost every single QCPU ever sold is in Q mode. The QCPU A Mode thing was a very limited sale option that programmed like an A Series. I think the Mode light would be amber or red if it was in A mode, and normally green. But it's been a decade since I've touched one of these CPUs. QnA Series is legacy product, came between A Series and Q Series. Been obsolete since 2005.

Might be possible to use non-safety devices, but sure not smart. You need to be looking at G9SP.

Sysmac Studio Improvement Request
Crossbow replied to BITS N BYTES's topic in NJ Series / Sysmac Studio
Haven't seen that behavior... but then I haven't done many online edits recently either. -
Sounds like my company-issued P53 setup as well.

Aren't GSD files for Profibus? Where would you use that in Sysmac Studio?

Sysmac Studio Improvement Request
Crossbow replied to BITS N BYTES's topic in NJ Series / Sysmac Studio
Hasn't closed all tabs when switching devices in a couple years... what version are you using? I have noticed some tabs, like HMI Variable Mapping, do still close when changing devices, but all tabs do not automatically close like they used to. -
Just bought some i7 (11th gen) with 16gb RAM and 512SSD
-
It is certainly NOT a shortcut! If you look at processing time on the newer PLCs like NX and compare them to the older ones like CX, you can do in under a millisecond what used to take 30-50ms. There are blatantly obvious benefits to using a standardized chipset.

Sysmac Studio Improvement Request
Crossbow replied to BITS N BYTES's topic in NJ Series / Sysmac Studio
He means the NA Series HMI. You can export it to a file and import it back into another project, but cannot copy and paste. -
DeviceNet is really old, I know the FX2N had a DeviceNet module, I am not sure if it is compatible with the newer models like FX3U and FX5.
-
My recollection NT2S was a rebranded product from someone in India. As the vendor changed the product, they released new software, so I don't think you will find one software that does all version of the NT2S.
-
The NX and NJ series do in fact use an off the shelf processor instead of a custom Omron-developed ASIC as the C Series did. It shortens the development time for new products, and allows Omron to focus on the software of the controller more than the redesign of the chip to make the next generation CPU. It also makes it easier to make changes and add features, as it doesn't require a CPU redesign, only a software update. As for what brand or speed of CPUs are used, if it is not listed in the hardware manuals for the CPUs, then it is not publicly available.

Sysmac Studio Improvement Request
Crossbow replied to BITS N BYTES's topic in NJ Series / Sysmac Studio
Global variables cannot be added or deleted during an online edit, that's why there is no choice like offline. Online edit is of program, a separate online edit can be done in the Global Variables list to add new variables, but they cannot be deleted during online edit. Synchronize is the only way to rewrite the entire variable list and adjust memory it uses. -
Again I have no idea what you are saying here. I've worked with Allen Bradley too, and you always pick the part number of the CPU you are working with. For example, I have a CompactLogix, and I have to select 1761-L32 as CPU type. CompactLogix is a name, like Q Series. Q04UDEH is a part number, like 1761-L32. I do not get how this is different or you need to remember a trick... If the part number starts with A, it's an A Series. Q for Q Series, R for R Series (also called iQ-R), and then the FX models, FX3, FX5, etc.

How to enable auto-complete while creating new variables
Crossbow replied to patrickft3's topic in Mitsubishi
Just fired up my really old virtual machine running GX Works2 and confirmed auto complete works fine in structured ladder and structured text. There are no settings I can see in the Options to disable this. So I have no idea why it is not working on your PC unless it is a Windows setting.
