Im sure you are correct, however at this jucture the point is mute. We were able to finish the day without need to stop the machine and after the shift I cycled power, so no more error. I would still be interested in knowing what that error code represented.

I have a touch pannel that is displaying error 2024. Does anyone know what that error is? Will cycling the power reset it?

Seems just a bit more complex than my situation calls for, but I appreciate your help. I assume I can trim this down from 32 registers to 10. Anyway, thanks for your help. I will program it in to morrow and see where it takes me. Dave

I need to move 10 registers at a time. The test spec limits for different parts are stored in 10 seperate registers. When I push the part number button in the touch pannel, I need the specs for that number to move into the spec registers. Can anyone tell me how to do this? Im not familiar with plc direct programming. Thanks Dave :)

Does anyone know if the CQM1 can be connected to the plants ethernet, or will I have to use another PLC model? If it can be connected, can you direct me to instruction on how to do it? Thanks for any help here guys. DHR

I have a situation where I have 3 machine modules connected by conveyor. Each module has a C200 controller. I have 2 C200H CPU 31 and 1 C200HS cpu21. Two of these machines have an LK201 V1 communication card installed, but I cant communicate through these. On the HS controller I use a CPM1-CIF01 module and on the other 2 units I need a C120-LK201-EV1 and a smart cable in order to program. All three units will respond normally to CQM1-PRO01-E programming module attached to the programming port. This tells me that some common protocol must exist with all 3 units. Can anyone shed any light on how I can have all 3 controllers respond to a single means of communication? OMRON Tech Center in Schaumburg has not been able to resolve for me.

Bob and anyone interested, This plc has high speed inputs capable of dealing with 20khz. That is plenty quick enough for my needs. My process is presently @ 3500 rpm, but lets give it a capability up to 5000 rpm. That would be 10, 000 pulses per min. Divide by 60 gives us a maximum of 84 pulses per second. If I look at this in 100 millisecond intervals I get a maximum number of 8.4 pulses. That just isnt enough data. 0 to 5000 RPM is going to become a number from 0 - 8.4. With only whole digits to work with that gives me a maximum resolution of 625. I could identify 0, 625, 1250, 1875, 2500, 3125, 3750, 4375, and 5000 rpm, but nothing in between.
