  1. *.GTE FILES , VIA GTDESIGNER

    Hi, I downloaded some samples off the Mitsubishi website for HMI. They all have GTE extension. I was trying to open them but GT Designer only opens GTD. How do I open GTE files? Are they only meant for GOT 1000 and not for GT Designer? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
  2. Hello I am trying to create some IO Screens in NB Designer. Anyone worked with it?  What is the best way. Lets say I want to display 16 bits of a IO card.   I created 16 Bit Lamps.  Beside those bit lamps I want to put text like "Station X - Jaw Cyl Home  ..." Is there a fast / easy way to do it?  Because I am dealing with hundreds of IO, and not want to click on each box to enter it.
  3. NB Designer / Screen Best Method for IO Screens

    I also tried the "Text Library" function, where you can enter a Name and then States for example IO Card 0 State 0 Message -  Cyl A Home State 1 Message - Cyl A Work But when I choose "Text Library - IO Card 0"   in the Text,  it only shows State 0 Message (Cyl A Home).      It would be nice to pick and choose which state, so that way I can enter all the text in the text library and just pick the message.   All I am trying to avoid here is to click and enter a message on every IO point.   Excel makes it much easier to deal with lots of text and messages.
  4. NB Designer / Screen Best Method for IO Screens

    Hi Crossbow, In CX-Designer, I used "Use String Table"  and then just entered all the IO for the whole line in Excel in CXV/ imported it . Also, CX-Designer allows u to use "Indirect Reference of String" where you can choose a file with 8 lines of Text and then on IO screen just specify the line # I was hoping there was some similar way to enter all the text in Excel and import it in NB Designer.   
  5. NB Designer Demo Project

    Hello everyone,   I am setting up NB Screen with Alarm History / Active Alarms just like CX-Designer.   IT SUCKS!!! It takes forever to set something like that.   Anyone has worked with NB screen can give me a quick start / demo project to start with.  I am specially inerested in Alarm History / Active Alarm screens.   Thankyou
  6. UDT - Individual Comments on BOOL / Members

    Yes, IO_Rack,    i wished it would be easier to tag bunch of members of UDT easily.  
  7. Hello there, Is it possible to put individual Comments on members of UDT.   For example, I have a UDT called Cylinder Cylinders has 2 members (CM   (Command - BOOL) and CP (Complete - BOOL)   Now if I use this UDT in many stations, it would be   Station1_.CM    - It  will take its comment from the UDT and will be called "Command"   But I want this to be commented unique .... like Station 1 - Cylinder 1 - Command   Is it possible in NJ  or CJ Processors????
  8. UDT - Individual Comments on BOOL / Members

    Thankyou very much.  Michael, that is what I was looking for .   Method #2 Too bad, I cannot apply the 2nd method on CX-Programmer,  since you cannot override the comments everytime you use the UDT.  It only uses the comments that is inside the UDT.   And then, that works bad, since its too generic.  Every cylinder in that station will have same name like "Cylinder"   or "Cylinder 1".   But I want it to be unique, like shown in Picture #2.
  9. UDT - Individual Comments on BOOL / Members

    Yes, If there are 10 cylinders in that station, I will have this UDT used 10 times Station1_C1.CM  (Comment - Cylinder) Station1_C2.CM (Comment - Cylinder) As you can see above,  if UDT has its member named as "Cylinder",  it will display the same comment everywhere. But if somehow if individual comment is possible,  I would rather have this Station1_C1.CM (Station 1 - Cylinder 1 Extend Command) Station1_C2.CM (Station 1 - Cylinder 2 Extend Command)   Is that possible?

  11. Wiring Absolute Encoder to Omron CJ2 PLC

    Thankyou very much Jay, Michael and Bits N Bytes for your inputs.  You guys are great!!!!!!!!!!
  12. Hello All, We have a TRD-NA  10 Bit Abosolute Encoder with a resolution of 1024.   How do I hook this absolute Encoder to Omron CJ2 Series PLC to get a position????  Do I need a specific Card?   Here's wiring scheme for TRD-NA Blue - 0V Brown - 12/24 V Black - Bit 0 Red - Bit 1 Orange - Bit 2 Yellow  - Bit 3 Green - Bit 4 Purple - Bit 5 Gray - Bit 6 White - Bit 7 Black/White - Bit 8 Red/White - Bit 9 Shield - GND        
  13. Help INDEX REGISTORS

    Hi All, I am performing some data search from D0 TO D100 using RSearch and Index Registers. I want to know how to move the data contained within the address in the index registor or display it on HMI??? For example, I have a value stored in D0 = &100. Now if I search for &100, IR0 will tell me that the value matched in 10000 (10000 = D0) I believe the register 10000 is a RAW PLC adress ... how do I Move the value from Registor # 10000 to some D area.... or display register 10000 on H MI? For example.... RAW REGISTOR # 10000 contains a value = &100 I want to do some kind of move to another DM location so if my HMI is displaying D500 then 10000 > DM500 = &100 I just don't know how to address these RAW addressing in fucntions... like MOV 10000 D500
  14. Help INDEX REGISTORS

    Thank you Michael, You are a great resource and help! You should write books & tutorials on PLC. I looked all around on omron's website, manuals, and they had limited information on index registers. They are basically useless. Thankyou again!
  15. Help OMRON PLC TABLE DATA PROCESSING FUNCTIONS

    Thankyou very much Michael, IT WORKED!!! THANKYOU THANKYOU!
  16. Hi All, I have a project which requires me to add / change / delete records in plc. I was looking at "DIM" , GETR, SETR, functions in PLC. I can't find how to add or delete existing record once I use the DIM function to define a record. For example. I have 10 records. Each record consists of 4 words. If I start from D0, then D0, D1, D2, D3 is one record...... D4, D5, D6, D7 is second record. Now.... If I want to delete record # 2.... will the entire data shift up automatically? or How will I delete the record ? Hope someone is smarter than me :) Thanks Tom
  17. Hello all, I am using a RXDU Function on CJ2M Processor. If I understood the manual correctly, I can only receive upto 256 bytes of data with this function. Here's my problem. I have a barcode scanner attached to the plc, which sends around 350 bytes of data. How can I receive all that without loosing any of the data? When the trigger on barcode is activated, it sends all that 350 bytes of data to the plc port 1. Can I receive data in parts? Lets say 200 bytes in first attempt and then another 150 bytes again? Any help? Thankyou very much!
  18. Help OMRON PLC TABLE DATA PROCESSING FUNCTIONS

    Hi Michael, Thankyou very much for help! I tried RSort in Emulation mode, but it did not work. Can you test this function to see if it works? I defined a 10 record (1 word per record) ( D0, D1..... upto D10) then I entered random numbers in D0 to D10. Then used RSort (with parameters set first). But RSort doesn't sort anything. Can you test this fucntion to see it works please? Thankyou
  19. Help OMRON PLC TABLE DATA PROCESSING FUNCTIONS

    Thankyou! Yes we are using CJ2 Processor. I already considered using RSort, but my records are 4 words each. RSort is meant for sorting only 1 word record. Any tricks for using RSort with multiple word record?
  20. Help OMRON PLC TABLE DATA PROCESSING FUNCTIONS

    Thankyou, Is there a way to sort the records ? Lets say I want to sort them using 1st word in each record?
  21. PULSE TRAIN OUTPUT / STEPPER

    Hi , I want to hook a stepper with mitsubishi plc. I understand I will need a board that takes pulse train outputs from plc and drive the stepper. My question is, what exactly do I need in the PLC? Is there a special card that sends these train pulses? If yes, what kind of card? Highspeed Output Card? Thanks
  22. CALLING SUBROUTINE IN MITSUBISHI

    Hi, How do I use the Call function? for example ----------------------------------------[CALL P2] Now I have a subroutine called "Sub2", how do i label it so the plc knows to call it? I tried to look for Pointers/Labels, but didn't find any command for it. Help is appreciated, thanks

  24. REAL NUMBER IN GT DESIGNER

    Hi, Anyone else having this problem? When I try to enter a real integer in Gt Designer/Gt Simulator, it doesn't let me. I chose 32 bit , as real integer field in Numeric Display, Numeric Input. But lets say when I enter 32.33 it just accepts 32.00 and not 32.33. Can someone try this and tell me if it works or there is a bug in Gt designer 2? Thanks.
