See if the second post in this thread makes sense.

Since no one else has responded, I will suggest what I've experienced. I had a similar issue with FPWIN. It turned out the PLC was originally programmed with an older programming package. I don't remember the name. FPWIN was not compatible but you could upload with some errors (I don't remember the errors). Then you could download with FPWIN and the program (PLC) would be updated. After that you can make whatever changes you wish. If I were you, I would call tech support to confirm the errors you are getting. My experience with their tech support was good.

It looks like FactoryTalk View SE. Is that correct? If so, the license you have is only good for 5 displays. You are apparently trying to open a project with more than 5.

If you already know how many pulses you require for one (precise) revolution, then you'll have to calculate the gear ratio and factor that into your number of output pulses.

What is the specification on your stepper drive?

I don't think a download is available. You can check this site: myomron.com. Your local distributer would surely hook you up.

There are a few steps to accomplish this. Have you wired it up? What are you having trouble with?

59/5000 Czy chodziło Ci o: jak mogę zaokrąglić wartość realu do 2 miejsc po przecinku? how can I round up the real value to 2 decimal places?
IO_Rack replied to marcinmrag's topic in NJ Series / Sysmac Studio
For this reason, there is a fundamental reason not to use "= x" comparison to a REAL value. If you need the precision then do as Michael says. Typically I will perform "<= x", ">= x" or compare a window ">= x && < y". -
CP1E host link communication via serial port gives IC error code for Timer SV Read
IO_Rack replied to S2N1992's topic in Omron
They were supported but not all the functions of the latest firmware version. I was thinking about the CP1L-E series. I would still strongly suggest updating your software to the latest version. -
CP1E host link communication via serial port gives IC error code for Timer SV Read
IO_Rack replied to S2N1992's topic in Omron
Run the Omron Automation Software AutoUpdate utility. I don't know exactly how old 9.03 is but I'm willing to bet the CP1E was not in production then. Current version of CX Programming is 9.65. -

Is your software up to date? Run the Omron Automation Software AutoUpdate utility. -
CP1E host link communication via serial port gives IC error code for Timer SV Read
IO_Rack replied to S2N1992's topic in Omron
Have you connected to it via USB? Upload the settings via USB then set then verify the serial settings. Set you connection serial settings to match. Default settings are 9600, 7, E, 2. Auto Online can be touchy sometimes (at least it used to be in older versions). -
Please start a new topic and explain what you are trying to do with the two pumps.

Call tech support and give them your old serial number. They've upgraded me in the past. I don't remember which version it was. Nobody here is allowed to give you a serial number.

Using the NJ to stop motion if Error or Fault
IO_Rack replied to lamboom's topic in NJ Series / Sysmac Studio
This was the confusion I was eluding to. I forget what happens if the MC_Stop instruction fails. There may be good reason to issue the MC_ImmediateStop in this case. I'll have to revisit this when I get time. In many years of working with Omron equipment, I've found it is very typical of them to give us (the programmers) the flexibility to control things as we wish. Meaning there are few easy buttons that will run a series of events. There may be an event that don't wish to happen. Fault handling can be very touchy sometimes. It's always been a very important subject in any programming language. This is why I chose the 'catch all' and just stopped the drives. I'll use the associated bits and words to display the particular reason and to choose how to proceed. -
Using the NJ to stop motion if Error or Fault
IO_Rack replied to lamboom's topic in NJ Series / Sysmac Studio
They are referring to FaultHandler() as a program that you (the programmer) would create. In my case, I've created a Faults section at the end of each axis program that will either MC_Stop, (where you can specify a deceleration), or an MC_ImmediateStop, (where you can specify and auto reset or disable). Their example shows a Function Block. I don't see the difference really unless it were programmed as an interrupt. I do find their examples a bit confusing. -
Are you sure it isn't just a monitoring issue with CX Programmer? The green contacts may not be indicating that actual status. Try programming one of them to turn on an spare output so you can watch the LED on the output module.

For not being an expert, that's probably the best explanation I've received. IT people really baffle me with a lot of acronyms and jargon. We need more controls experts to explore network technology. We're in the process of building a plant-wide manufacturing network. I really need to come up to speed on this stuff.
-
This is my knowledge as well. I'm not well educated in network technology but I've experienced the same 'Ping' issue that you explained above. Setting the gateway address fixed it. Maybe someone could educate us.
-
I've had similar issues with wireless routers. Try setting the HMI Gateway Address to the address of your wireless router.

Omron NX connection to Mitsubishi PLC IEP
IO_Rack replied to bagged2drag's topic in Other Omron Software
Last I looked Mitsubishi has only one EIP solution. It looked more like a data collection system processor and is probably a very expensive solution. I haven't heard of anyone (even in the Mitsubishi forums) using it. We plan on doing this in the near future. We were looking the the AnyBus CC Link to EIP gateway. Haven't tested it yet but I have used other AnyBus gateways and they're pretty easy to use. If you're really adventurous, the Omron NE1A (Safety PLC) manual has Mitsubishi Ladder code to read EIP data from it. This is a canned solution specifically for those products. Again, if you're really adventurous. We're probably going to use the AnyBus. -
What is the Data Type of SPD_Q1? What is the Instruction you are trying to copy? I get the shaded out size when I am using a 'Double Value' instruction. Example MOVL (Move Long Value).
-
To the best of my knowledge, the USB port on the PLC is for programming only. Omron tools like CX Programmer, CX Integrator, etc...

I see that smaller font now. Guess its time for new eye glasses.

H0 is the Set Value of the counter. If you set it to #6, it will always be #6. The process value of the counter will change to #6 (Set Value) when the counter is reset. (When 210.00 turns ON). The process value will decrement by #1 each time 212.00 turns ON. When the process value reaches #0, the counter will turn ON. (C0). Conclusion: You do not need to perform a compare. Set H0 to #6 then use contact C0 to turn ON 212.02 (Bad Parts Removed).
