  1. Hi This is maybe off topicc here. But anyone can help pls reply. Our machine has a proximity sensor to detect piston postions within cylinder. I want to use OMRON sensors to replace that. I've tried various sensors (E2E, E2F,..) but it always confused cylinder (made of alumunum alloy). Anyone can help?
  2. Cant download program to CPM1A

    Thanks! It works!
  3. Cant download program to CPM1A

    Hi I have a CPM1A-20CDR-A. For some reason, I cant download program to PLC. CX-P said PLC is write-protected. I can upload program+settings and see that it has Fun(49) to protect its program but protection is not activated (otherwise I cant upload program) and Memory is write protected in System Settings. I tried to download new settings to PLC to turn off write protecttion but still failed. How do I turn off write protecttion in PLC Settings ? Thanks.
  4. CPM2A comm to K3 components

    Yes, thanks. Oh, I forgot this way, but the manual indicates only K3Nx series, not K3HB-V as we wanted. Do you have information on whether we can use this unit to comm with K3HB-V ? Many thanks.
  5. CPM2A comm to K3 components

    Hi My friend has a CPM2x and wants to communicate with about 10 other K3 components over RS485 (Compoway/F). I know that I can use CPM2C + CPM2C-CIF21 for easy settings. But he is on a budget and CPM2C is more expensive than CPM2A. Do anyone have a program to communicate CPM2A with Compoway/F components. Many thanks.
  6. Changing C200H to CS1

    Hi I understand that Special I/O modules use DM areas as Setup area. But DM is now D in CS1, and CS1 has a dedicated area for Settings, but only for newer model. When C200H-NC111 is used in CS1, what should I do with this DM settings? Thanks.
  7. Error with C200-CT001

    Thanks. I traced it from the IR mem to find that it's DM error. Fixed it! Thanks.
  8. Yesterday I had a closer look at customer's site. Their Fix is in Japanese (menus, messages,..), but the HMI pages are in English. Now they want to install Fix in English so they can understand the menus, messages or modify/fix some errors. Currently, the database file is lost or cannot be found. So basically what I will do is install Fix-English version, then port the current pages and database into the new version. Can anyone tell me where I can find database file. Many thanks.
  9. Error with C200-CT001

    My friend is having 2 identical systems, each having a C200HE-CPU11 and a C200-CT001. He copies the program from a CPU to the other. But currently one of C200-CT001 unit has error with the Error lights. If he brings this C200-CT001 unit to the good CPU system, it is OK. if he brings the CPU with error to the good C200-CT001 unit, it has Error. Can any one give me an advice? Many thanks.
  10. Changing C200H to CS1

    Thanks. I just want to minimise engineering work when converting from C200H to CS1. So, basically, I will reuse C200H-NC111. What I'm going to do is porting the program of C200H CPU to CS1 CPU. But I'm new to using NC units. Can anyone guide me to set up this unit so that it will work the way it does in C200H? Many thanks.
  11. Changing C200H to CS1

    Thanks. What about NC UNIT C200H-NC111? Can it be brought to CS1 system for reuse? Thanks.
  12. Changing C200H to CS1

    Hi All We are having a C200H system with following modules: PLC BASE UNIT C200H-BC101-V2 PLC BASE UNIT C200H-BI051-V2 PLC BASE UNIT C200H-BI081 PLC CPU UNIT C200H-CPU01 / 02 /11 PLC INPUT UNIT C200H-ID212 PLC INPUT UNIT C200H-ID215 PLC MEMORY UNIT C200H-MR431 PLC MEMORY UNIT C200H-MR831 PLC NC UNIT C200H-NC111 PLC OUTPUT UNIT C200H-OA222 PLC OUTPUT UNIT C200H-OC211 PLC OUTPUT UNIT C200H-OC225 PLC OUTPUT UNIT C200H-OD211 PLC OUTPUT UNIT C200H-OD212 PLC POWER UNIT C200H-PS221 We would like to change this to CS1 PLC while retaining old modules. Can anyone look at the module list and advise if they can be reused in CS1? Many thanks.
  13. hi Ken U must accept that the experience of users is varied, and thus they are here to exchange knowledge. And it's now uneasy to find good support for this old software. Even when I asked Intellution rep, the answer is still far from satisfactory. Such as Intellution rep forgot about KEYDIAG.exe, but an advice from Andybr is valuable. Even if U gave valuable advice (in your knowledge), users here still have to filter out the good things from the bad. Anyway, I'll try the advices from all of you. Thanks.
  14. Hi Andybr Yes, I was instructed by an Intellution rep to run KeyDiag to view dongle info, but I cant find it and the rep also forgets it. Hmm, accoording to all of your instructions, all files of all projects in Fix are mixed up in a folder or 2, and the files we need to copy are not known. If I'm not wrong, Fix also has a utility to backup project files for deployment to other machines, right? Many thanks.
  15. Thanks Ken for spending your valuable holiday time on the matter. I also did things similar to your guide, but some time back and now I dont remember exactly now. I digged around Fix32 folder to find the project files I'm interested in. After all, I copied every thing in that folder to my laptop to study it, although I found it very strange & redundant to do so. If I'm not wrong, U must specify some thing as the startup, say a startup project, because it's common to have numerous projects already on the machine. So how to put the project in question to the startup list? The driver I got is serial HostLink. i also find it quite strange when Fix cant tell user how many I/O points they have purchased and available. Thank you.
