yes you can call server as you want. this is only an example... and board is dependent on the type of board installed in the I/O Server computer bye valerio

hi. you can try to use SEND, RECV and CMND command. you can find documentation on section 6 of Omron Manual W420. bye Valerio

when i had the same quetion someone in this forum send me this image.. it's very clear to understand serial communication.. bye Valerio

hi kevin. i think that a solution is to write a communication protocol.. but i think also that is a "long" solution.. i've only used cx-serverlite but never done a protocol sorry. bye valerio

it's not a dip-switch problem.. this problem happens only when i use function blocks.. and the file .fbl appear only with cx-simulator... if i do memory card with real plc i have only 3 files but if i do memory card with cx-simulator i have 4 files ( as above ) . it seems that in second case AUTOEXEC.OBJ is splitted in 2 files AUTOEXEC.OBJ & SRCPRGRM.FBL there's a reason?? thanx again Valerio

hi. i've got a problem. i'm using cx-one v1.11 i have one project on cx-programmer with some function blocks. when i start the simulator (v1.6) and i click on memory card in cx-programmer appear a file without doing nothing... this file is "srcprgrm.fbl" someone knows why there's this file?? my problem is that when i want to simulate the doing of a memory card i have this files: - AUTOEXEC.OBJ - ATEXECDM.IOM - AUTOEXEC.STD - SRCPRGRM.FBL and then when i download this files on real plc doesen't work.. someone know how can i have only the first 3 files and not the 4th? thank you. valerio

hi! i think the only way is to create a protocol for read and write data from PLC. or buy omron's one (i.e. CX-server lite) the next step i think is to create a java or VBA page where you can write and modify parameters readed by protocol.. one difficult may be to create a decent graphical page. i think it's not simple but possible... i've never try this way... but it should work good... the alternative is to buy a scada... VERY expensive... bye Valerio

Hi. i'm using citect v6.0 and i have a problem. i'm tring to connect with Citect to my Omron CJ1M PLC through serial port but it doesen't work. i'm using OMRON protocol but i don't know if it's correct. Maybe i have to Use OMFINS or FINS protocol?? what's the settings to do? in my computer i have installed FINS 3.2 (it works good with ethernet ETN21). thank you. Valerio

so thank you. i had found a solution and it works very good.. in my plant i have 150 TAG and i read HR as word and with cicode ( BITAND ) I use it in bit mode... I use FINS Gateway and i've seen the difference setting different speeds in PLC port. using baud rate @ 9600 it's slow using baud rate @ 115200 i don't know if it's correct but it goes very well.. and FINS GAteway is simple to set!!! thank you again. Valerio P.S. With OMRON protocol you cant read HR or WR. You can read with OMFINS but i think it's a ethernet protocol

thank you.. i have another question.. now i'm using OMRON protocol in "I/O devices" but i cant read HR and WR memories can i use FINS or FINS3 protocol with serial port??? i have only a PLC connected to PC through serial and i havent a ETN card... maybe it's impossible... some idea??? thank you.. Valerio

i've found the solution... the file citect.ini i was using doesent work. replacing it with the original (from the insallation) all works good.. it happens also with ethernet a month ago... maybe a bug??? i don't know but now everything goes right.. bye

with the version 1.21 of cxserverlite it doesent work.. read this post on the forum http://forums.mrplc.com/index.php?showtopic...t=0entry20713 bye Valerio

i dont know if its the right place to post but i have a fast ask (i hope).. i dont know a thing... ISDN is a worldwide standard??? i have a plant with an ethernet with 3 omron PLCs connected to a pc and i have to put an isdn modem router to do assistance from italy. the plant is in dominican republic.. someone knows if i can buy a modem here in italy and use it in dominican rep??? i have a zyxel prestige h202 plus but i dont know if it work good thank u a lot Valerio

hi! i'm new on citect. i'm using it for supervision.. i have a little question... what's the best protocol for communication between Citect and a cj1(g or m) with ETN21?? someone have some little example of configuration??? thanks Valerio

i've found the answers i'm searching for... using the "DRIVER HELP" in the Citect Explorer Windows. the address to write in I/O Devices was 0/30/0 (FINS PROTOCOL) --> 30 because PLC's IP address was x.x.x.30 and not in TCP/IP mode with IP address... but now i have another question... if i use a bit as a tag i have many tags!!! it's possible to read a 32bit tag and extract a bit or more than one from it??? there's a function that do this??? thank you again!!! Valerio

thank you for answers. i install version 3.2 of fins gateway but i never use it. there's a guide or example for communication with citect? with serial communication works good. but i cant do this with ethernet. by now i have 1 plc omron cj1g cpu43 (192.168.0.30) and a pc(192.168.0.1) thank you. valerio

the problem isn't the code but the Display_Click() option... i dont know why but vb doesen't recognize the click input... it recognize only gotfocus... and not only with Omron display but also with Segment... thank you again for support bye Valerio

Hi i'm using vb6 and cxserverlite i'm using some Omron's control such as "Display" but programming in vb, i cant do "display_click()" function but only "display_GotFocus()". the problem is that display_GotFocus() run twice... i dont know if problem is mine or is on the control. some one can help me??? thanks Valerio

i use SSTab i try to use: Option Explicit Private DisplayGotFocus As Boolean Private Sub Display_Click() If DisplayGotFocus Then Exit Sub myCODE DisplayGotFocus = Not DisplayGotFocus End Sub but it doesent work... also i cant use Click() and DoubleClick() i'll use a label and not OmronDisplay thank u again. if anyone have some news.... best regards valerio

i 'dont know the program... but .mdb files are extensions of MS Access... maybe you need it... maybe bye valerio

thank you for link.. now i try to use the example... i have declared myArray in VB dim myArray(15) as variant and in the CDM file i declare a memory as a array.. but VB doesent accept it..

hi i'm doing a software with VB and Cx-serverLite. i have more then 500 words to read every 1-2 seconds. i've tried to do it with a timer in VB but the result is not good... 4-5 seconds to get data. so PC doesent work well it's possible to have more speed?? some help??? thank you Valerio

communication is ethernet. i can put all words contiguos.. now words are not ordered... i wanna try to get an array, it was an idea but i had some problems.. i let you see my code 1) myArray = Comms1.ReadArea(“arrayCdm”, 10, vbInteger, WaitUntilComplete) for 10 words but array is variant... how can i read it???? 2) myArray = Comms1.Values(“arrayCdm”) it doesent recognize as an array maybe problems are in VB and not in communication protocol but i'm not expert... thank you Valerio

hi. i'm doing a VB supervision in a plant.. in this plant i have omron cj1m plcs and cx-server lite protocol to communicate with win. i would like to do a trend graph... there's some function in vb that do it??? someone do it??? thank you Valerio

i use this gateway serial (PortA NS) - serial (PLCsiemens)... i dont know with ethernet...
