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.

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.

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

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.

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.  

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...)

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

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?

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.

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.

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.

The Write and the Display addresses can be either Host PLC or HMI Internal. In most cases you'll be communicating with the PLC so a typical example would be Write address HOST3:W1.0 (maybe a Start Push Button). Then the Display address HOST3:W2.0 (maybe feedback for a Running Condition). The Display Address will change the Color/Shape of the button from its OFF state to its ON state when the machine is Running. The Write and Display addresses can be the same if you choose. In this case the Color/Shape would change only when the button is pressed. I think the Getting Started Guide is good. I find the NS is much easier to use than the NB. You can also do Integrated PLC-PT Simulation which works very well.

Here is a screen shot of the 'IO Table and Unit Setup' dialog box. The details are outlined in W345, section 2-5.

Try your local Omron distributor. If you are interested in robotic control then have a look at the NJ series which uses Sysmac Studio. Information can be found here:  https://industrial.omron.us/en/products/machine-automation-controllers  

Thanks for posting your solution although I'm not sure I understand. I was thinking you wanted this: 1) AlarmViewer is displayed. 2) Select Alarm to trigger a new Pop Up with instructions. Are you displaying 2 AlarmViewers?

This from page 4-20 in the NA Software Manual. It says they are called from Main Pages but I found you can call a second Pop Up when PageHidden happens on the first.

I sent you a message with your converted NT program. The trick was to convert the NT21 to an NT31 using NTST. After the conversion, I saved it as an *.mmi. Then in CX One using the NTSeries Conversion Support Tool, I converted it to an NS5. The screens are different sizes so the graphics remain their original size in the upper left of the larger screen. It's not pretty but it should be functional. You can also perform a simulation with the NS5 and the CJ2.

It looks like the conversion from the C200H to the CJ was seamless. Having standard I/O cards makes it easy for the physical I/O addressing. The C200H is not capable of accessing DM memory "bits" directly. The NT21 can. Below is an example where the NT uses DM12, BIT 12 to turn ON when the Touch Switch is pressed. Remember DM and D are the same memory area. In the PLC program DM12 is used once where it is Always being MOVed to channel 70. Both DM12 and Channel 70 are 16 bit WORDs. So when DM12, BIT12 turns ON, Channel 70, BIT 12 (70.12) will turn ON. Here you can see where it is used farther down in the program. I suspect the inverse operation was done for bits going from PLC to NT. I didn't look that far. I know the NS is capable of accessing DM bits but I'm not sure about the NB. I would suspect that it could but I don't use them.

I had this same error. My guess is, you installed fresh from an older installer package then updated (manually) from the latest downloads you already had. This is how I experienced the error. I found that an update from sometime last year contains the DotNet Framework required. I could not get the older update to install no matter what I tried. I ended up uninstalling everything, starting from scratch then did the Auto Update.

Yes, please do. I will have a look at the addresses you mentioned earlier and it may also help to answer other specific questions you may have.

Do you mean "C200H CPU01"? Also make sure it's not "HE", "HS" or any other "Hsomething". They are different PLCs. If you have some time you could do a conversion on your NT21 to an NS5. Then you could simulate it to test your PLC conversion. (Simulation > Start PLC - PT Integrated Simulation) from CX Programmer. If you are able to upload your programs then we could assist you more easily.

Have you looked at the Function Blocks that are available? I'm not sure it will do all that you want but it's worth a try. Right Click on Function Blocks, choose Insert Function Block > From File... then browse to your temperature controller in the omronlib folder. Once it is inserted, you can Right Click on the FB you just inserted and choose FB Library Reference for instructions.

Are actually using SET and RSET instructions? Have you tried using a standard output instead? Think of it this way... turn the output ON when the speed is greater than 110 RPM. Can you show us what you have tried?
