  1. EIP over Eithercat bridge NX1P2-9000

    I'm wanting to use the Danfoss mct10 software to directly program the drives via Eithercat. Ethercat over MCT10 is possible but it is not like in Ethernet IP, where the MCT10 connection runs in parallel to the bus with multicast packets. In Ethercat the information is implemented in the bus telegrams and It seems omron does not suport EoE messaging. I would have to capture multicast packets convert them and send them over Eithercat as telegrams in honesty i dont know if this is a thing I have access to with omron. The Danfoss option card (MCA123) when fitted to a FC automation drive supports EIP to Eithercat (EoE messaging) by bridging multicast packets using the plc as a gateway problem is omron does not support it yet and I don't know if it is in their plans. You can see a video here of it in operation with a Bechoff plc using a EL6601 terminal as a bridge: https://www.dropbox.com/s/27csm7z3m1861hr/MCT10_TC3_Ethercat.mp4?dl=0 Yes I can use EIP to program the drives but there is a lot of advantages in using Eithercat with a large network but doing it directly with the plc results in scaling issues number formats hex codes bla bla... so much nicer to do it with native danfoss tools because of this. ON a side note the danfoss software codes are free if you talk to Danfoss rep just they won't give you feature unlocker codes such as firmware flashing/ editing and oss creator tooling unless you are oem or partner like us. The feature unlocker codes require you signing some documents as you can create drives firmware exceeding 500hz that would class them as dual/ military use and if ended up in a country making enriched uranium you likely would get in big trouble so there is some security measures they ask you to implement. I was involved in some of the features in firmware with the software developers in Estonia when the FC series drives come out and also with the wifi based LCP's and to some extent the fc280 but more with feedback and bugs.                      
  2. NS screen programming over mobil network

    sorry for the late reply missed this.   The touch screen is 192.168.250.10 The plc is 192.168.250.1 The router is set to 192.168.250.254 The gate way is set to 192.16.250.254 if it was not the hosted web page would not work on the touch screen from the vpn over the wan.
  3. latest cxone installer ?

    HI I have cxone v4.4 dvd is there a later image so I don't have to do all the updates after install every time?
  4. multifunction button NA5

    Hi In the NB and NS screens there was the ability to have a multi function button operating as a button and as a data lamp in the NA screen there does not seem to be this function or am i missing something? I can't create a button with more than two feedback states by the look of it and I can't add a variable to a datalamp.   ultimately I'm after the following for example : No image or colour (shows valve is offline) red open green closed blue opening orange closing yellow open fault purple close fault. Flashing to show it is in manual mode (in any of the above states) touch indication to my plc            
  5. Buttons with graphics in NA

    you can't have odd shaped buttons they are limited the standard round/ elipse and rectangle,
  6. Sysmac Studio Improvement Request

    Ability to use grouped objects as buttons and bitlamps as opposed to just graphics jpg png etc.. The ability to apply events to all items in the grouped object would also work at least for buttons.    
  7. Buttons with graphics in NA

    Yes Omron France and one of the screen demos online have these graphics there is also a NS library that was provided by my local Omron people. i have heaps of buttons and switches lamps  and generic stuff but it would be nice to use my own created objects or some way to export them to an image  
  8. Buttons with graphics in NA

    Yes that works for an image but not for graphics created in Sysmac studio I cant add events to graphics as it seems. I have drawn an object grouped it and stored it as a custom library object but I cant seem to use my graphics or the built in graphics for that matter. I'm guessing the only way to do it is to create a subroutine or event for the page specify the element or object name for custom graphics but I'm not really sure how to do this or if I can. As you see below I have the grist case object highlighted and showing the events and property's but I can't add events and actions to it. I can make it visible based on an variable in the properties window but i cant add events to it. I cant use the created graphics as an image either from creating a button or image object what I could do is print screen the graphics save it as a png /jpeg etc but in this case it wont work. As the image is square and my mill auger on an angle would overlap the gristcase image button as I cant just use the image as the button the background of the image also becomes part of the button. For an example If I just create a single graphics element (a circle for instance) I can create an event and action but if I grouped two circles together into a grouped object I can't create an event for the object.     can create event: Can't create event:
  9. Buttons with graphics in NA

    So I have created created some graphics for my display but it seems I cant use them as buttons directly. It looks like I can only use images or create image-less buttons on top of my graphics but I'm unable to actually use them as buttons directly or am I missing something ? I see that I can view code of the background page and maybe assign a subroutine or event to that grouped object but it seems like a long winded stupid option.    
  10. NA touch screen graphics library

    Is there a extra or external graphic library for use with sysmac studio? The designs of buttons etc are quite limited to the NS touch screen built in options.  
  11. Sysmac studio download

    Yip I downloaded the installer from your link and it installed with out the directx issue as i had with installer 1.43 .   I then updated to the latest using the updater and no issue with directx.
  12. Sysmac studio download

    Previously on my pc I had installed Sysmac studio but with the latest installer 1.43 it says I need a directx 11 capable video card when trying to install from fresh. Is this a new requirement as it worked previously on the same computer I was installing from an older installer is there a way to bypass this?
  13. Sysmac studio download

    My computer hdd failed and I have a real old copy of sysmac studio. Not wanting to do a day worth of updates as the omron site is slow as hell can I download the 30 trial standard edition and use my licence to make it full.
  14. please you help me, use a function block to set a password for plc Omron

    this is a way to set a password in a cpm1a through ladder code
  15. memory adressing method questions.
