  1. New To Mitsubishi GX2

    I have no idea what you are asking here.  When you go into the software to create a project, you pick the part number of the CPU.  The whole part number, as shown on the CPU.  What is there to remember?
  2. .gps file help

    GX Works can go back to quite a few older models, but without knowing the model number of the PLC, who can tell.  I would wait until the machine is present and powered on and pull a complete backup of the PLC, because if the vendor sent you that one file, they clearly do not know a thing about PLCs.
  3. .gps file help

    It helps if you say what kind of PLC... in this case the file name made it obvious, but in most cases that wouldn't help.  More detail helps with more accurate responses.
  4. Omron NJ101 9020 SMTP error

    If no changes were made to the network or the mail server, and no changes were made to the PLC's IP or subnet mask, then there is no reason it should not still be working.  Something has changed, you need to figure out exactly what. If it was working, it would not stop unless something has changed. If the function block works in other PLCs, check what differences there may be in the configuration.
  5. CPU Load Calculation

    I have never heard of an Excel sheet for calculating CPU load... and I've been at this for 25 years.

    First letter of part number is Q, so this is Q Series.
  7. Omron NJ101 9020 SMTP error

    Probably an issue at the mail server end.  Did your mail server change?  Someone set a password on the server?  Perhaps an update on a router or firewall?
  8. Schneider Hmi Gxo3501

    Contact Schneider and see what options you have.  No discussions are allowed here about how to bypass passwords.
  9. Is this software now released as free by ABB?  Because if not, the license agreement still applies and the software you posted is considered an illegal copy and will be removed.

    Your picture is of a power supply, the CPU is to the right.  And you should see the part number right on the CPU to tell you what to select. As far as the communication method, that depends completely on how you want to connect to the CPU, it has nothing to do with the controller type selected.
  11. Connecting an Expansion Bus to an Existing System

    No and No.  You will need to update the I/O Map in the controller to add more modules, and this cannot be done without stopping the CPU and downloading an updated project.  And modules should not be removed under power, you will error out the CPU and crash the line.
  12. GOT2000 close window screen after some time

    You have a register that stores the current screen numbers for each screen type.  Write a timer so that you check that number and if it doesn't change for a period of time, write a zero to that register and that will close the screen.
  13. Replacing CQM1H - CPU51

    As replied on your other post on the same topic, program modification will be required.
  14. Replacing CQM1H - CPU51

    We are not here to do your integration work for you for free.  Integrators are paid to make the program modifications.  If you do not know how to review the program to determine what changes are required, I would strongly caution you to hire a system integrator familiar with Omron to assist.  As he stated, the conversion will require a thorough review of the program to determine what must be updated, and your high speed counter functions will need to be completely rewritten. Also, CJ1M is long obsolete.  If you are replacing the CPU, you should at least go to a CJ2 series to be more current.  Why upgrade from one obsolete system to another?
  15. From Allen Bradley New to Omron

    Open CX Programmer, create a project and set the connection to use a USB cable.  Or if you know the IP address of the controller, you can choose Ethernet as your communication option.
  16. The variable mapping can also change if the name of the PLC CPU was changed.  Perhaps when you went online to transfer to the CPU it asked about setting the controller name, and you picked to keep the name from the controller? In the mapping you can see the name of the controller is part of the AT column, which shows the mapping to the controller.  You may also see something similar after uploading from the HMI, look under the Device References in the Multiview Explorer and see if there are two, one showing an error.  Go into that one and click 'Relink Controller' or something along those lines, and it will combine the two and fix the errors.
  17. You don't.  DATE AND TIME starts at 01/01/1970 00:00:00 Zero can't be stored in this data type.
  18. Best way to connect with Visual C#

    OPC servers are for collecting data.  You still need a package to read the data from the OPC server into Visual Studio.  I am not sure what method you intend to use for that.  You may be able to not work with an OPC server and just find communication software for HostLink to VS directly.
  19. Need a little help

    Sounds like Indusoft isn't looking at the long word.  Check the data type.
  20. Shouldn't be anything you have to do, it should be on by default.
  21. Help with LAN network

    If you change the IP address of the controller you need to download those changes to the controller.   There is no reason it would return to default if it was set. 
  22. Help with LAN network

    I disagree with Bob on the hub, switches (unmanaged even) are the way to go for traffic considerations. First, did you set a unique IP address on each device?  All of my PLCs come out of the box with the same address set, and that's not going to work when networked.
  23. Easy way to pulse Output

    PWM does not apply to this application.
  24. Codesys 2.3

    That product is only sold in India.  Contact the vendor to get the software.
  25. Easy way to pulse Output

    Set an output bit when the button is pressed. Have that bit enable a timer for 0.1 seconds. When the timer finishes, reset the bit.
