Chris, Not sure where you are located, but PdL is correct. If in the US, go to the link provide above and register. You will need your license number (on CD case I think). Once registered, you will be able to download updates to CX-One, which includes function blocks. As it was explained to me originally, the v1.1 update should be available by this process. As you stated, v2.0 will be a chargable upgrade, which was thought to be around $695 US. Please don't take that as gospel, you know how things can change! Hope this helps.

shlomo rubin, Welcome to the forum. There is a CX-Server Removal Tool in the Download Code/Omron/Utilities section of this site. If you need to remove CX-Server, this will be the easiest way to make sure you get it all. Hope this will help.

elem, Welcome to the forum! Based on what I found for communication protocols for the F7 inverter, I think you are going to have a tough time with serial comm using a CPM2 plc. It appears that the serial comm would probably be some form of Modbus. What about using hardwired I/O? You could use outputs to send start/stop and an analog output for speed command. However, I really do not know the details of your application. If you really want to do this with communication, you might consider a CJ1 and use protocol macros with Modbus. Hope this will help

How many DM's are you trying to read from the C2000H? In the Download Code/Omron/PLC Code section of this site there is a demo program for a CQM1 to read 10 DM's from a hostlink using RXD/TXD. Just keep in mind that the SCU will not support RXD/TXD. You will need to you the RS232 (HostLink) Port on the CS1. Also, I think there is a Hostlink Protocol Macro available. Not sure where to find it. Hope this will help.

J-D, You need to use a numeral input to enter a value into the controller. A numeral display will only allow you to view the value. The HR range on the CK is pretty small, HR0 - HR9. DM area is DM0 - DM63. What HR are you writing to? Also, make sure the PLC is in Monitor mode. Run mode will not allow data changes. Hope this helps.

You say it "nearly" does it. What is missing? I can not find documentation to clarify this thought. What about putting your "program" into a "task"? Your "main" program would simply enable or disable the task as required. I am not sure how the bit status or word values in the task is handled when the task is disabled. Hopefully someone will be able to provide an answer.

Yes, I checked a copy of NTSS v2.33, no NT11S support.

I believe what you are referring to is a very old DOS based software. It has not been available for several years. I do not know of any free software that will back up / restore the application in the NT11S. Sorry.

You will need Omron NTST (NT Series Support Tool). Please contact your local Omron Distributor to purchase the software.

Going from memory here, but I think processing time was different between these two series. I have no idea if this would work, or if you may damage something by trying. Good Luck.

I do not have hardware available at this time. I can test on Monday. You will need to put the NT20S into transmit mode. Touch two opposite corners, the touch the Transmit button. Then you will need to initiate the "upload program" option from the software. I think it will ask for a file name after the upload is complete. Again, just going from memory. If you need me to, I can check this on Monday. Or maybe someone else will be able to help before then!

I would tend to agree with bluebyu on this. The Interlock instruction requires an IL(02) and an ILC(03) instruction pair. If power is on to the IL the logic will work as programmed. If there in no power flow to the IL, all outputs and timers between the IL and the ILC will be reset. Hope this will help.

Pretty sure you can set the F250 up either way. Best guess (with out checking manuals) is that the OR output will give a result based on all inspections. Do you want a single output for all four inspections? Do you want one output for each inspection? You should be able to set up expressions for either situation. Let us know what you are trying to do.

Welcome to the forum electroman70! You can find the cable pinout here: Omron Universal 9 pin Cable @ Mr.PLC.com This will allow you to connect to the serial port on the CJ1M. To connect to the peripheral port you will need an Omron #CS1W-CN226 cable. Hope this will help.

Welcome to the forum TecnOsSud! Yes, Omron offers a USB to RS232 converter, part number CS1W-CIF31. It is a bit pricey, but it has been tested and will work with Omron products. There are a few laptops out there that do have a built in serial port, but they are getting harder to find. Hope this will help.

fosy, You are probably correct. The first NT20S units could be set up in NT20M mode. NTSS should allow you to connect and upload the program: NTSS_233 @ Mr.PLC.com Here is a quickstart guide for the program: NTSS_233 Quickstart @ Mr.PLC.com Thanks to Jay for both!! Hope this will help

Thanks for the information! The physical setup sounds good. About 50% duty cycle, target is larger than switch face, distance to target should be well within range. FYI, the CJ1W-ID211 can be wired for a NPN sensor. BobB is referring to the Unit Settings in CX-Programmer. If you click on the "Settings" in the project workspace (area on left of screen), a dialog will open, click on the Unit Settings tab. You can set the "Filter" time for each Rack and Slot. It appears (from the project I opened) that the default is 8 ms. Based on my calculation (and it is late on Friday) each pulse should be about 150 ms at 200 pulses per minute (60sec/200=.3 or 300ms, then 1/2 of that for "on" time). Are the wires from the prox sensor routed "close" to the drive wiring? Interesting problem, I wish you luck! Not sure if I will get a chance to check the forum this weekend. Keep us posted.

Welcome chickmagnet! What size are the "slots" in the disk? Are the slots and space between the slots equal (50% duty cycle pulse)? What is the distance from the disk to the face of the prox switch? What is the thickness of the disk?

To state in a different manner what Jay has said in a previous post. The Control and Notify areas are memory locations in the PLC that are reserved for communication with the operator interface. The plc sends information to the screen (what screen to display, what bits are on, etc.) and the screen sends information to the plc (turn on this bit, enter this value, etc.) through the control and notify area. You are right (as Jay corrected above) that the HR on the C--K does not include the area suggested. Use the area suggested HR00 for PT Control and HR05 for PT Notify. Also note that these units are no longer available from Omron. They were retired after 15 + years and replaced by the CPM1 and CPM2 series. I think you should be able to use Omron Direct Access v4, but not sure about that. You should also review the manuals for the C--K product. These manuals cover addressing, program instructions, and other usefull information. C__K Manuals @ Mr.PLC.com Hope this will help.

Check on Ebay. They often have this item at a good price. I do not think you can "program" around the hostlink. It deals with physical issues. Hope this will help.

I just pulled out my v1.1 cd. There is a printed manual, but no electronic manual was on the disc. Just as a point of interest, version 1.1 upgrades were shipped in October 1999. Sorry to not be of more assistance.

Probably an easier way, but just a quick check came up with this. Multiply the operator entered value 1.4 (14 in plc register) by 10000, using a double multiply. Then double divide result by 83 to get the number of pulses required. I think this will work, maybe not the cleanest way to do it. Hope this helps.

Just a little note. anonymous is certainly correct on this. Be aware, this function is not documented anymore! Also, if you lose/forget the password, there is NO WAY you can get back into the plc! You will need to have Omron reset the unit and the program will be lost. Hope this will help.

I really can not answer details on this one, but I am sure someone will be able to. Sysmac Way and Hostlink are two different names for the same thing! Not sure how this happened, but it did. This is the original communication method between computers and Omron plcs. Toolbus first showed up with the CS1/CJ1 platform. It is a faster communication method between the computer and plc. I think it will only work with the CS1/CJ1 plcs. However the CS1/CJ1 can be setup to communicate via Hostlink (Sysmac Way) by changing the comm port settings. Again, this is VERY basic and hopefully someone else can add some detail for you.

Val, Welcome to the forum!! Specific addresses will depend on the model number of the CPM2 you are using. In general, inputs are located in channels 000 - 009, and outputs are in channels 010 - 019. Therefore your first input would be addressed 000.00. Most of the processors use 12 bits in input channels (bits 00 - 11) and 8 bits in output channels (bits 00 - 07) This manual should help: CPM2A Operation Manual @ Mr.PLC.com Hope this will help and Good Luck! Let us know if you need any other assistance.
