https://www.automationdirect.com/do-more/brx/index The BRX PLC has a built in Micro SD card slot. This can be used to store your program. Upon startup you can instruct the PLC to load the program from the Micro SD card. The Do-More will read the DirectLogic program and convert. https://www.automationdirect.com/do-more/brx/software/directlogic-migration Regards, Garry

You can do this with additional software. http://accautomation.ca/how-to-implement-the-omron-host-link-protocol-part-2-vba/ Using VBA you can get the data into an excel spread sheet. You can use AdvancedHMI that runs on Visual Studio. This package utilizes VB.Net. Creating a CSV file is straight forward. http://accautomation.ca/omron-cp1h-advancedhmi-communication/ Creating the CSV file: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25994972/how-to-create-a-csv-file-from-string-variable-using-streamwriter-in-vb-net Hope this helps you out.

Regard, Garry

On the older units, use a move to a HR register first.  Nice solution Crossbow. Garry

What are the exact model numbers of the C1JM PLCs? What kind of ports do you have available? You have two basic choices, serial (RS485 / RS422 ) or Ethernet (RJ45). Serial communications: The unit number of the PLC serial will determine the address on the network. (Make sure that they are all different numbers. Default is 00) This is a master / slave communication only. Only one device can be communicating on the network at a time. Ethernet Communications: The IP address will determine the address on the network. Multiple communications can happen at the same time. Information can be shared between the controllers. http://www.ia.omron.com/products/category/automation-systems/programmable-controllers/cj1/cpu-bus-units/index.html Start off by connecting one of the units up and testing communication using cx-programmer. You will then see if your converters will work or not.  Regards, Garry

The COM point refers to a common point for the discrete input signal. It can be either negative or positive in this Omron controller. Refer to the wiring diagrams in the manuals above. Here is some wiring examples: http://accautomation.ca/heres-a-quick-way-to-wire-npn-and-pnp-devices/ Regards, Garry

https://www.progea.com/io-driver-list-2/ You would use the Omron Fins Ethernet driver. You will need an Ethernet port on the PLC. Regards, Garry

You are looking for the Operation Manual of the unit. This will show you the wiring diagrams. Here is the one for the CPM1A: https://assets.omron.eu/downloads/manual/en/w317_cpm1a_operation_manual_en.pdf Section 3 - Installation and Wiring Note: The Programming manuals will have the information for the instructions. Regards, Garry

I would look at Factory IO for some projects. https://factoryio.com/ There is a free evaluation period. This works well with the free Do-More designer software which has a simulator. Here are some examples: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3y71jAPOdZCbC-2roZpqqBIJkcEI_s1n Here are some other sample programs: http://accautomation.ca/building-a-plc-program-that-you-can-be-proud-of-part-1/ This series takes you through using discrete inputs and outputs to control traffic lights and cylinders. As we progress we introduce additional methods to solve logic. We look at sequencers in a new way and learn how to write programs to allow users to teach the new sequence. Hope this helps you out.

What about using just a Click PLC from automation direct.  https://www.automationdirect.com/adc/Overview/Catalog/Programmable_Controllers/CLICK_Series_PLCs_(Stackable_Micro_Brick) Password protection: https://www.automationdirect.com/microsites/clickplcs/click-help/Content/062.htm Just a thought.
