I think we still have a keyboard buried in a cabinet somewhere.

I don't know the drive (variator) that you are working with but typically you could select set speeds by digital inputs (PLC outputs). This would not be incremental / decremental but may get you want you want depending on how many speeds you need. Alternatively, to do what I think you are looking for, you would need an analog signal. The analog output module you require would depend on the type of analog input the drive has available.

Both the CQM1-CPU41 and the CJ1M do not have built-in Outputs. So, the output module Word on the CQM1 will be 100. For example, if you are using output 4, the address will be 100.04. The CJ1M will be addressed differently.

Can you post the *.cxp file? Or post screen shots with detailed questions. What is Speed Variator? (Analog output? Pulse output?). What is the CPU type?

This fix looks like the one you need. I have not experienced this issue myself. This is all I know about it. 

You are cross posting and it's a bit confusing. Ignore this link and see the link posted by Sleepy Wombat in the other thread.

NT Support Tool 4.87E - Omron - Forums.MrPLC.com This is the link that fixed the original poster's issue. The link was broken some time ago.

https://www.myomron.com//downloads/4.Products/Software/HMI-Software/NT%20Software/NTST/NTST487E.zip This is the latest version. There are older versions at this site in the downloads section.

If I'm not mistaken, the mmi file is for the much older DOS software. Isn't there a conversion utility in the NTST folder? Alternatively, you could try to get the DOS software to work somehow. NTSS233 - Demo Software - Forums.MrPLC.com

Ctrl + Enter for static text but you probably knew that. I'm guessing you would like to control where a String tag will start a new line? It appears, the multi-line will be automatic depending on the size of the String Input Enable object. 

I didn't look at the file you provided but I must ask, are these values accurate? Do you have the dimensions of the product? Can you multiply the length * width then multiply by the number of pieces? 

I don't have the Mitsubishi software handy to show an example but I'll explain. The counter's value can be a static value that once programmed, it will never change. If you use a D register for the value, then the set time can be adjusted, or changed. For example, from an HMI. 

Great work! Thank you for posting your results.

Function Blocks are used to create reusable Ladder or Structured Text. You can program them to do anything you want. You'll need to be more specific about "Inhibits machine operation".

The CIF41 will communicate via FINS. Use the link above for an example. This will work since the CJ2M supports FINS protocol. The EIP61will communicate via FINS or EtherNet/IP (Industrial Protocol). This will also work since the CJ2M supports EtherNet/IP but it is not necessary. This would be useful to communicate with a non-Omron PLC that does not support FINS.
