  1. Ever need a single analog or thermocouple input for a micro PLC such as CPM1A, CPM2A or CPM2C.  Most manufacturers offer these inputs, but you wind up buying some multiple of in and out which leaves you with extra cost and unused I/O. Calex manufactures a line of analog to frequency signal conditioners which drives Omron or other micro PLC high speed inputs.  I have used them and can provide code for reading and scaling these units. Here's the link: http://www.calex.com/cgi-loc....0760362
  2. I am researching the various methods that manufacturers other than Modicon such as flowmeters, valve controllers, dewpoint monitors deliver floating point values when requested either through Modbus command 03 or 04.  I need to write a universal serial driver for Omron CS1 PLC to accomplish the request of 32 bit floating point registers.  Floating point registers in these devices are usually two 16 bit registers long and are usually located in the 5000 or 7000 register range.  Does one request one floating point register at 5000 or 7000 and expect two regular 16 bit registers to be  returned?  Or do you have to request two registers to get two registers?  Is it defined or does each manufacturer do it differently?  What is the Enron Modbus specification? :-3
  3. Omron

    How about setting up an Omron Forum?  I would be glad to contribute.  I'm hunting up some sample Omron Code from several of the Omron packages to upload. What else do you need?   Been reading plc.net and found your link. :D
  4. In six months of posting on multiple PLC forums this is the most intelligent answer that I have ever received on this particular subject.  Thanks so much. Kalle.  Please register on MR.PLC.com so that we may send you additional email. What brand or munufacturer's protocol did the quoted info originate?
  5. IMHO: The use of Modbus ASCII is not implemented very often as opposed to Modbus RTU which uses the binary format.  Also the Enron extensions to Modbus do not support the ASCII implementation.  Are you sure that you are trying to implement Modbus ASCII or Modbus RTU?  The answers to this post will lead me in the direction to help you do the LRC or CRC in ladder necessary.
  6. Download syswin (software for omron)

    The above URL goes nowhere! Please register at MR.PLC.com and give us your webpage in your profile.
  7. Programming omron from a pda

    OK,  first thing you do is register at MR.PLC.com.  There are plenty of registered users who post here and you need to become one of them. Second, what model Omron PLC? Third, what development tool do you plan to use? Fourth, what documentation do you have already?
  8. Supervisor to sql server

    I have supported others who have used CX Supervisor with SQL Server and know that they have been successful.  One thing that CX Supervisor will not support is SQL Server syntax errors.  If you use the wrong syntax for SQL, CX Supervisor will not check for bad syntax and will report the command as good.
  9. Mitsubishi plc system password

    There is the brute force method.  Use snooper software like the Comm Lite 32 found in this site's download section and trap the command that sends the password.  Most Japanese PLCs use one 4 digit hex register as the password.  Set up a  VB application to try all possibilities from 0000 to FFFF.  
  10. [cx-supervisor] trail version?

    Ok, Scaver.  We finally got it loaded to the Omron OI download section of this website.  Here is a full working demo of the CX Supervisor SCADA software.  It allows 20 tags and works for one hour at a a time. http://www.mrplc.com/cgi-bin/code/filedisplay.cgi?category=oiomron

  12. Cx supervisor data logging

    La función de escritura de ExportLog usa las convenciones siguientes para archivos separados de coma automáticamente engendrando de valores para la exportación: Todo filenames engendrado de CSV contendrá por lo menos el "Los datos Ponen el nombre" + "timestamp" Y un. la extensión de CSV. CSV es un formato que es reconocido directamente por paquetes de spreadsheet tal como Sobresale y puede por lo tanto sea abierto y es considerado con esta aplicación. e.g. MyData Set1999011214.csv Todo estas órdenes exportarán todos los datos en el archivo especificado, para el conjunto denominado de datos al archivo denominado de la salida, en el formato especificado. Los Ejemplos típicos: ExportLog ("Balloon", "*")     o ExportLog ("Balloon", "Altitude,Fuel,Burning,Lift,Group 1" "CSV-BDTM",0, la "output")     o ItemList[0] = "Altitude" ItemList[1] = "Fuel" ItemList[2] = "Burning" ItemList[3] = "List" ItemList[4] = "Group 1" ExportAndViewLog("Balloon", ItemList, "CSV-BDTM", 0, "output") Vea la Referencia de Escritura de Supervisor de CX que se incluye con cada guía de la instalación de Supervisor de CX. ;) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----- The ExportLog script function uses the following conventions for automatically generating comma-separated values files for export: All generated CSV filenames will contain at least the "Data Set name" + "timestamp" and a .CSV extension. CSV is a format that is recognised directly by spreadsheet packages such as Excel and can therefore be opened and viewed with this application. e.g. MyData Set1999011214.csv All these commands will export all the data in the specified file, for the named data set to the named output file, in the format specified.

  13. Cx supervisor data logging

    CX Supervisor no tienen su propia base de datos. Usted debe usar un programa como el siguiente. El siguiente es un extracto del Capítulo 11 en Bases de datos en el Supervisor de CX. ¿Tiene usted los manuales? Las facilidades de la Base de datos del supervisor de CX proporcionan el acceso rápido y transparente a muchas fuentes diferentes de datos, vía una tecnología de base de datos llamó la ACTIVIDAD. El diseño de la base de datos no se cubre aquí, cuando es un sujeto grande explicado completamente en cualquiera de los muchos libros disponibles. Se asume que reveladores que usan estas facilidades de la base de datos tienen un conocimiento de trabajo de bases de datos. Las Funciones comprensivas de Escritura de Base de datos permiten el acceso completo de la base de datos. Las fuentes de datos que se pueden accesar depende de los Proveedores de Datos instalado, pero puede incluir: ♦ la Sra Acceso ♦ la Sra Sobresale ♦ Visual FoxPro ♦ dBase ♦ ODBC para el Oráculo ♦ la Paradoja ♦ de SQL Camarero ♦ los archivos de Texto (en TXT y formato de CSV) :D   CX Supervisor does not have its own database.  You must use a program like the following.  The following is an excerpt from Chapter 11 on Databases in CX Supervisor.  Do you have the manuals? CX-Supervisor Database facilities provide fast, transparent access to many different data sources, via a database technology called ADO. Database design is not covered here, as it is a large subject explained fully in any of the many books available. It is assumed that developers using these database facilities have a working knowledge of databases. Comprehensive Database Script Functions allow complete database access. The data sources which can be accessed depends on the Data Providers installed, but may include: ♦ MS-Access ♦ MS-Excel ♦ Visual FoxPro ♦ dBase ♦ ODBC for Oracle ♦ Paradox ♦ SQL Server ♦ Text files (in TXT and CSV format)

    If you are using CX Programmer to program the CPM1, the CX Server package that comes with CXP supports DDE.  See DDE manager.
  15. Demo software

    Just out of curiosity: What does the Dos version of Medoc support? What's the current version? I spent Saturday afternoon trying to answer this question.

  20. Cx-supervisor (scada)

    I checked all the forums and databases on CX Supervisor and couldn't find anything about your problem.  I loaded version 4 on a WinMe computer and I could add a dataset.  You have an early version(4).  Try this patch and see if it helps.  Also, if you still have your original install disc,  try installing on another machine in English.  There were some problems with other languages. :-3 I checked out both your links (Thanks chako, for the translator).  You have an impressive site.  I added several links in my Favorites. :) CX_S_4_to_5.zip
  21. Do you still have any contacts in the Purdue faculty?  I would like to encourage such a program.  Perhaps some new equipment or software. :)
  22. Cx-supervisor (scada)

    David, When I look at your web site, I see SCS Demo.  Are you trying to use Data Logging in SCS or CX Supervisor?  The instructions are different.  Please tell me the version of CX Supervisor that you are using.  Can you do a screen capture of the problem you are having? Your web site is very interesting and has a lot of good information.  Because I read only English,  I translated some of your Web Site.  Does your site try to bring engineers together to discuss control problems?  Please let us know more about what you do. :D

    Here's a step by step: Procedure: Step 1          To configure the data log, go to “Utilities”, “Workspace” or click on the “Workspace” icon. Step 2          Click the “Logging” tab at the bottom of the active window.   Step 3          Right-click in window and select “Add Data Set”. Step 4          Enter the “Data Set Name” as “Lab_Dataset” (this will be used as the base for the file name generated).                     The “Period” is how often one data log file is closed and another is created.                  The “1 Hour(s)” default is sufficient.                   Click “OK”. Step 5          Right-click on the Lab_Data set created in Step 4 and select “Add Item”.   Step 6           Select an item name that you wish to show in the data log viewer (ie. Pressure).                    “Browse” for the “Expression”, and select “Slider 1” from “Lab 5 Group”.                     Use the default “5 second(s)” “Sample Rate” “On Interval”.  Leave the scale as the default.   Step 7           Similarly, add the following items in the “Lab_Dataset”.  Close “Workspace”. Item Name          Expression Flow                  Slider 2 Volume               Slider 3 Temperature        Slider 4 Step 8           Run the application.  At Runtime, right-click on the page and select “Data Log Viewer”. Step 9           Select “File “, “Open”. Step 10          Browse for the data logging file:  Lab_Dataset.dlv.  Click “Open”.                    Note: CX-Supervisor will create a sub-directory named “Data Logging” in the CX-Supervisor “Project” directory. Step 11          Select all of the data log points to view.                      Click “OK”. Step 12          Click on the “Live Updates” icon.  Go to the “Charts and Graphs” page, move the slider and check the “Data Log Viewer”. :p
