Omron C200h

[Guest balaji]

Hi guys, I am relatively new to this field of PLCs and am working in a plant that uses OMRON C200H PLCs for their testers. I want to know is there a tutorial on the omrons software for this(older version). I had an oppurtunity to see the software but it runs only in DOS mode. I guess it is called LSS. Please help me in this respect. Balaji

Hi balaji; May Gawd help you with LSS - you're going to need it. Back in '85 when LSS first arrived on the scene i bought it and used it for about 6 months before scrapping it in favour of CAPS. A few guys still swear by LSS, but i found it to be the least intuitive software on the planet - and this was back in the DOS days when everybody expected new user interfaces on every package anyway. LSS felt like something 'designed by a committee' (i suspect it was) while CAPS was lithe and quick. As to the C200H being an 'older version' - yes it did come out way back when, but it's function list and memory map seems to have been the foundation for almost every Omron PLC since. If you've ever programmed a late version of Omron's PLCs, the C200H will fit like an old shoe... (ol' timer) Jeff

There is no electronic manual for this 1985 software. I have combined all the technotes that I could find into a single document and I attached them here. Combined_LSS_Technotes.pdf

How big is that download Jay? And how come we are NOT hosting it? Are you slacking on us or what?

Syswin 3.4 is 4mb. CX Programmer is 42mb. Start the download and make a run to Starbucks.

Jay; The CX site you've posted is in spanish - in a Chilean dialect no less. Before going through the agony of a 42Mb download, could you briefly explain what the demo is? Is it a working copy of CX and if so, what are it's limitations? Thanks, Jeff
