I have a project to put in a PLC system, (omron) into a research facility. I have done this before and used the omron multi drop connector, (I dont generally like them as they are not very well designed, if you have a small box you have to remove the whole thing off the din rail to get the connectors off.) I am looking for something that I can wire up using tek cable (Flexible armoured with the plastic sheath) 1/2 conduit connections. that comes as a prebuild package I have about 50 - 60 of these things to make and I would much rather just purchase the finished product. any suggestions would be great

Hi I am pritty new to Factory Talk, Our Priamary Server went down hard and I am trying to restore it. I Have a new server with Win 2k3 R2 installed and updated, I have installed all the Factory talk software. The questions I am not sure about is the following 1. How do I restore the high availability connection with the backup server 2. How do I restore all the project files etc. 3. I have an OPC connection to a PI database that also needs to be installed any advice on this? Thank you for any help

I may be interested what are you asking? -
Actually I believe that if everything you use is CSA approved and you follow the Local Code you dont need CSA certification, Unless perhaps if you are making the panels for a machine IE a oven that will be sold in canada and then the whole machine needs to be CSA certifyed. If you are making a one off panel as long as the panel and everything in it are CSA approved you dont need to get it recertifyed. I may be wrong but that is the way my company works and they are by the books...

Indusoft also has some inexpencive options....

good catch, I almost forgot that some PLC come that way - so used to using Omron - And device net...

Personally I always try to keep everything horizontal due to the fact that I also always bring my cables in at the bottom and that it ends up being easyer to change things after the fact. I have attached a rough drawing I did not do any measurements on it but this will keep everything neat and will probably allow you to add more into it later layout.pdf

Ok I finaly broke down and bought the software I am now playing around with it and I cant seem to figure out how to get the display ocx to show a decimal place. In the plc I am scaling the Input to 0-2000 (0-200°C) and would like to get the display to show 0.0-200.0°C. I know that I can do it just by reading the value in and dividing by 10 but I would like to use the control that came with the software.

Ok so I am in transmitt mode Thanks ... I also forgot to mention that this is a brand new nt21. Is there a difference between port a and b. I still cant seem to connect I am using a usb to rs232 cable as my laptop doesnt have any frikkken serial ports. I will try a real one today when I get home. ps the rs232 connector that i am using does work with omron plc's, I am trying to connect using cable cn210. is that correct. Thanks..

Ok this is my first time with a NT touch Screen I am using the NT Support Tool 4.7 1. I am looking for the cable pin out for both of the setups mentioned in the title just the cable # would be great, I just want to make sure its not the cable. 2. AAAAGggggg cant seem to connect to the NT screen.. I have tryed everything..... well I guess not everything because I am obviously missing something. do I have to do anything on the touch screen in order to download a program... Please and thank you ..

hmm I know that some "water" process solution got into one of our panels and killed 2 of them but that was maybe 3 months ago.... maybe it didnt completely fry the other 2 that died in the last couple of weeks...
