  1. Program lost after power cycle

    I get the same error as you did. I'm sorry I don't know the answer. I know of no other programming packages for the NT31. Can you get support from the OEM? If not then I would contact Omron Technical Support to see if they can open/convert the file.
  2. Abpon

    I'm not familiar with that problem. What was the solution? 
  3. Program lost after power cycle

    Can you post your program? I've never seen a version issue between revisions. Only between NTST and NTSS.
  4. Screwdrivers

    I find this one quite comfortable:  https://www.milwaukeetool.com/power-tools/cordless/6545-6 You can get this same form in Panasonic. It's less expensive.
  5. NT31 Software

    I remember an incompatibility between programs in NTST and NTSS (older DOS version). I don't remember the error but I thought they had different file extensions. What is the file extension? Are you able to connect to the screen and perform an upload? You could try the NTSS. Here is the download:  http://forums.mrplc.com/index.php?/files/file/93-ntss233/    
  6. CP 1E NA ANALOG INPUT PROBLEM

    No ladder diagram is necessary to make it appear in CIO 90. It must be wired properly and configured like the picture above. What are you having trouble with?
  7. 4-20mA Sensor not giving input

    Did you set the DIP switches as per W516 (Operation Manual), section 10-3-2? Switch No. 4 ON if Analog Unit is mounted on left side, switch No. 5 ON if mounted on the right side. Do this with the power OFF.

  11. Program lost after power cycle

    This is the error you get when the PLC to HMI connection settings do not match. Assuming you have a serial connection (CQM1 CPU21 or greater), check the Host Link Port under Settings. These do not necessarily get uploaded or downloaded with the program. You can transfer to and from the PLC from the Options menu. Remember to cycle power to the PLC after making any changes to the Settings.
  12. Getting to memory.

     It is NOT all available for free use. There is plenty though. The unit will start using D memory around D20000 for special I/O, CPU Bus units, etc... I would have to reference the manual to know exactly. You're welcome!
  13. Getting to memory.

    I think I understand now. You are using the PLC Memory Window. It appears that you cannot 'Transfer to PLC' the W memory while in Monitor Mode. If you change to Program Mode then it will let you. If you use D memory then it will let you 'Transfer to PLC' in Monitor Mode. Typically, W memory is used for Work Bits. You may use them as WORDs but more commonly D memory is used because D memory is retentive and W memory is not.
  14. Getting to memory.

    I'm not sure I understand the issue. Transfer to PLC is not necessary to change a memory value. You will need to be in Monitor mode though. You should be able to double click then input a value when Online. It may be a bit confusing with the CNT instruction and using W1 as an operand though. When you double click, it will prompt you to change the operand (not the value). In this case, use the Watch Window to change the value in W1. Alternatively you could use the MOV instruction but precede it with an P_Off. This way you can double click on the W1 and change its value to whatever you wish. Hope that makes sense.

    You'll need to change the communications settings in the screen to match the PLC settings.
  16. cpm1a and ns5

    To the best of my knowledge, the adapter you have should be Host Link (RS232). In that case this cable should work for you.

  18. Sysmac Studio Improvement Request

    In less than a week after upgrading to version 1.20, they released only one update file (Sysmac Studio version 1.20.1.0) here in the US.
  19. Not sure how you would like to access it but have a look at the last post in this thread. There is a video that explains how to use MS Excel to view and modify the data.  
  20. 1.  I did the conversion myself and I received no errors or warnings. CX Programmer does a good job converting especially since there were no complex instructions used in the original program. I can understand your caution though. 2.  Concerning your variables... Do you know how to back up the memory? (HR, DM, etc...)
  21. read velocity from analog input

    I'm glad you got it working. Did you use one of the Function Blocks for Analog Scaling from the Mr. PLC Downloads section?
  22. read velocity from analog input

    Are you having trouble wiring the module? Are you having trouble configuring the module? Do you know how to scale the value in programming? What are the units? (Hz, %, FPM, CFM...) What is the range?
  23. How to set cx-designer to be offline?

    I'm not sure I've ever started NS / PLC simulation through CX Designer. It may be possible somehow. I've always started it from CX Programmer. Have both projects open at the same time. From CX Programmer choose Simulation > Start PLC - PT Integrated Simulation.
  24. I think that may work. I haven't tried it. The JMP/JME will disable the code in between them. (Code is not executed). Therefore HSPO may still function. The IL/ILC will disable the outputs. (Code is still executed). Outputs will be OFF. Try it and let us know.
  25. I took a brief look at the programs again. I think you are understanding the addressing OK. The PLC is making the decisions based on the screen number that is written (PT Control Area) from the PLC to the PT. In NTST, click on Tools > PT configuration... then click on the Control/Notify Area tab. The PLC can write a screen number into D00000 and the PT will switch to that screen. I do not have much time but I did follow D12.12 where it makes a decision based on Ch88 where it writes to D00000. Have a look at rung number 203 in the original PLC file. Be sure to look at the bits in Ch88. This looks fairly complex.
