Good and thorough instructions and insight. Thank you Michael! I look forward to being a member of this awesome and helpful forum!

Looks like my Byte Size doesn't match up. This is why I can't view my tags.

I did get my Target Device Selected for the Dataman 260. I was unaware I was missing the correct EDS files from the Omron folder. Now I am just trying to input my originator variable. It is blank and gives no options.

I have the EDS files.I'm not sure which is which. These are all of the available EDS files and icons. 0678077312900100.eds 0678077312950100.eds 0678077312970100.eds 0678077313070100.eds 0678077313100100.eds 0678077312810100.eds 0678077312860100.eds 0678077312870100.eds DM200_Reader.ico DM260.ico DM300.ico DM400.ico DM500.ico DM8000.ico DM8050.ico DM60.ico

Good morning, My name is Preston. I am a Controls Specialist who primarily deals with AB and Siemens projects. I am so incredibly ignorant when it comes to Sysmac Studio. I'm glad to join a knowledgeable forum in which I have used many times without actually signing up. But here I am, ready to continue my education and hopefully give knowledge back. Issue: I am working with an Omron NJ501-1300 PLC. I am integrating a Cognex Dataman 262 (part of the 260 series). I am getting very lost on how to add the Cognex as a Target Device. I understand what is needed for Variables and Tag Sets. However I am not able to add the Cognex Dataman as a target device in Sysmac. Any and all help would be incredibly helpful. Thank You!
