Hi guys! I need some help to understand what is the difference between an Active, Passive and an Absolute homing. Even if I read the manual still not clear for me. Can you please someone explain me this. If someone could post some pic for represetning it would be fabulous. THanks ahead.

Hi, I have a Mitsubishi Servo motor with its amplifier MR-J3-350T. I lose the home position. How can I set the value of the position to zero if I detect a home detector. I use gx developer. thank you

I know it may sound stupid but I am new with Studio 5000 and trying to build a project where I have to home my servo drive other than the position to zero and it is not fix but rather decided by a safety switch. What I am looking for is a dynamic Home position Entry which I am able to find it in the axis parameter but not in the CIP_Structure. Is any kind of motion FB for home position set entry? Any help would be useful. Thanks PS: Studio 5000 v30, Kinetex 5500 v7.01, L33ERM processor

I. Developed new application   TCP_IP_Connection 1. App TCP_IP_Connection     applies the technology of IoT, Smart Home, Remote control.    It allows to carry out: - remote control and monitoring of control systems; - remote diagnostics of  the object; - turn on/off sensors and devices, including electrical circuits,   hydraulics, pneumatics, etc.; - transfer  information, files and images between smartphones and computers   implemented the application. For communication between the respective devices (smartphones or computers) are required only stable connection to the Internet  !!! The application is developed according to the technology MQTT and use free  Internet broker. As a broker use the HiveMQ broker. The application consists of   3 parts : - TCP_IP_connection.apk - works on the smartphone and is intended for control and      monitoring of equipments; - Server_Send_Receive.exe - the management server located  on the computer and   execution  action on the transfer of  information from the smartphone to the   controller and   back; - Server_controller.exe - located on the  same computer and execution tasks   of  controller. Communication is linked directly with the controller via Ethernet or     Ethernet/IP. As the controller for management purposesused controller family   OMRON (CS1,CJ1,CJ2,CP1H,CP1L...). Note. As a controller you can use the other type of controllers, for example, Yaskawa, Siemens, ABB and  other. They require rework program Server_controller.exe only to  interface of exchange with controller. So for Yaskawa controller family 2300Siec this interface already developed and used in industrial conditions. 2. The application includes the following controls: A. Smartphone – computer - controller. - modes  read/write of memory cells and  bits of the controller OMRON      (DM,W,EM,CIO,HR); - continuous cyclic polling of the memory areas; - the formation of Alarms in the event of errors of control system; - Display Gauges for 6 variables in real time; - Display Scopes for 6 variables in real time; - formation of statistical data on the operation of the equipment. B. Smartphone - computer. - sending  and receiving text  messages; - sending and receiving  picture image; - transfer photos from a smartphone;  - transfer images from built-in Web camera of the laptop; - reading the contents of a directory on the computer or laptop; - reading contents of a text file. С. Smartphone -smartphone / computer - computer. - sending and receiving text messages; - sending and receiving of picture image; - transfer photos from smartphone to smartphone (from computer to computer); - send the image with the built in webcam of a laptop to another laptop; - reading the contents of a directory on the computer or laptop; - reading contents of a text file. 3. Work application Server_Send_Receive.exe and Server_Controller.exe tested on computers running the Windows 7 operating system. Work application TCP_IP_Connection.apk was tested on smartphones Samsung, Phillips  running the operating system Android 5.0, Android 6.0. It requires the use of a smartphone with a display diagonal of 5 inches and more. 4. App TCP_IP_Connection.the apk  paid, the cost per user is $ 5 USA. Distributed through Google Play. The Internet address for downloading of  programs Server_Send_Receive.exe and Server_Controller.exe is on screen Help  application TCP_IP_Connection.apk.  OMRON_Communication has the manual in Russian and  English languages. The Internet address for downloading the full manual   https://yadi.sk/i/F_EJOQEd3G5sXc. Looking for partners for the execution of similar works.      

Hey all, I've been trying to figure out a way to bridge the gap between my smartphone and my PLC. Both are capable of such amazing things and I want to bring them together. I know other's are already doing this, but I'm wondering if there is a way that i can do this without purchasing their products and using what I already have. What I have: Micrologix1000 PLC and a MicroLogix1100 PLC, a laptop, a Samsung Galaxy S5 Objective: To be able to control outputs in my home using my phone. I know there has to be a way. I want to be able to control lights in my home using my phone. Wire an extension cord to the output of my PLC, have that plug into a lamp, keep the switch on the lamp turned on all of the time, only turn on that output when I want to. Obviously I could control that output in a number of ways. If I had an HMI, at a certain time of the day have the lights turn on or off, ect. But I want to bridge that gap and use my mobile phone as the input/hmi that controls the output of that lamp. Is there an easy/way of doing this without buying an expensive 'Hue' lighting system? I've got to think so. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I see that Siemens and a few other PLCs have mobile applications, but I see nothing for Android. Just want to get all of your opinion.
