Hello everybody; I'm in trouble in these days i'm making a plc program with CJ1G CPU 42H with some function blocks,i have made some funtion blocks by copy paste from the other ones, ut at the moment when i compile the program it says " Total output image exceeds UM size by 2078 words" when i delete a function block instance and invocation then this error goes and i can compile the program succesfully but i need this function block:) according to your experiences what can be my problem ? how can i solve it have only 8 function blocks, but really i couldn't understand the problem.

Hi all; I'm a new user of mitsubishi and i'm trying to program GOT1000 but i don't have the original programming cable i made a 5 meter cable with the connections like below female1 female2 2------------------->3 3------------------->2 5-------------------->5 4--------------------->8-6 (8 and 6 short circuit) 8-6 --------------------->4 (8 and 6 short circuit) Is that connection true?because i don't have enough time to wait the original cable if it is true or if i made the true one what must be the communication settings of COM port of PC. Because when i try to test the communication in the GT-designer VER2.27 it says you couldn't establish a communication Check the cable or check the port settings, but as there is no STANDARD OS in the GOT i couldn't check the port settings of GOT. Is it possible to see these settings without a STANDARD OS. If anybody help me withe this problem i will be happy.

Hi all; Is it possible to use "1756-ENBT" for free TCP socket programming, think there is a pc running visual basic or.net, e.t.c tcp/ip program and controllogix 5561 sends some data to PC via using "MSG" command. I will be very happy if someone send me some example code or manual how to do it. Best wishes to everyone

Hi all; Think a robot system or an automated production line in a factory. Basically there are start/stop buttons wired to start and stop the machine. I would like to learn from your experiences if you tried making this control wireless RF devices like car or garage door remote controllers. I do not want to try this with standart devices for cars and home automation,I need industrial devices seems like car remote controls. Could anyone direct me to a supplier or a company. Best wishes

Thank you for your reply, the products look ok but the device I am looking for is a small device like the device you open your car doors and garage doors

Hello Dears; Does anyone have any knowledge about April1000, April2000 Series PLC, as I research it this is an old product by Schneider electric. I have an assembly code with this PLC to convert to another PLC and I am searching its assembly code definitions and software. Best Regards april_PLC.pdf

Hi all; Everyone know my question i think but i must ask again:) Before now the machines i programmed has short cyclic times but i always used Hardware PLC , but now i'll make a long cycle dyeing machine automation program with softPLC (i afraid it is soft), and.the PC will work on bad(hot) condition. In the PC, SCADA and Soft PLC will run together and the machine will have only one Electrical cabinet and the Panel PC will be mounted on this cabinet. As you understand my necessary things are; 1. Low cost Panel PC (15'') 2. Low cost SCADA 3. Low cost Soft PLC 4. Low cost digital and analog I/O units(in the same panel, distance is 3-4 metres maximum). As i r esearched My configuration is: 1. Low cost Panel PC----->Benecom(Thailand) 2. Low cost SCADA-----> Winlog SCADA 3. Low cost Soft PLC------> ? 4. Low cost digital and analog I/O units(in the same panel, distance is 3-4 metres maximum)----> ? Does anyone can give me reference especially for the PANEL PC, because i need really water resistivity and MAX temperature 40-45 Celcius. It says NEMA STANDARD but i know IP 65. Is NEMA ok for my requirements? And also with WINLOG SCADA?Did any of you used before? and can tell me something about it's flexibility? Thanks a lot

Hi all; As i wrote it in the topic description i'm trying to make a wireless communication with 10 NS Series (ethernet) HMI and a CJ series ethernet CPU (TOTAL LENGTH= 500m) as it is very difficult to make cabling i would like to ask to you by your experiences which product must i choose for wireless ethetnet communication? of course low price and high quality :)

Hi all; We (3 young electronics engineers) are trying to build a new company together and we are walking on the most difficult way at the moment and our problem is not a plc communication error or a scada software caused problem, We are just looking for a good attractive company name:) If you find some little time and you already have a good english word company name can you share it with us.Thanks all.... Note:The company will placed in TURKEY and our abilities are mostly: SCADA, PLC-HMI programming, Drives, Robotics, Electrical design, e.t.c

Hi all; I'm trying to collect some data from an analog unit which is replaced in a devicenet network node,my cpu is CS1-H, i want to get the samples for ex: with 30 ms interval, but my plc program cycle is totally for ex:100 ms, so i thought it and i can do it may be with a scheduled interrupt with interval at 30 ms , but i don't know how to refresh the CIO for the analog input slave unit ,i read the CJ1G programming manual and i saw an instruction "DLNK" CPU BUS UNIT I/O REFRESH. If i write this in the scheduled interrupt task can i refresh the inputs regardless to the cpu total cycle time and like this can i get the analog values with 30 ms interval? If this is not possible with this method ,by another method can i get the data with a higher speed than total plc cycle? If yes how? Can anybody help me? Note: Changing an reducing the program cyle time is possible but the program is inside in a running machine i don't have much time to write it again

D05E6C2C1101.pdfpnp_enc_plc_pnp_input_connection_.pdfHi all, I have some problems with the connection of "E6C2-C6WZ NPN open collector output " encoder ,as my pulse frequency is low i am trying to connect PHASE A , PHASE B AND Z of this encoder to directly a NPN digital input unit , but as i am not good at electronics i couldn't do it , i found something in the manual of the encoder, if i do the same connection that is defined for CQM1H-CPU43 for other NPN type PLC DIGITAL INPUT UNIT does it work or not? can anybody help me with this problem?

Hi everybody; I have STEP 7 V5.3 SP3 but it is not licensed. I have 2 questions to you. 1. What is the difference between the licenced one and the unlicensed one?. As i know normally if you use unlicensed one you only get 2 kind of messages in your PC 1 .There is no valid licence please install a valid licence you press "OK" and go on. 2. "Do you want to activate licence?" you have two choices 1.Activate 2. Skip.As i know if you have not valid licence key and you press skip no problem but i think if you press activate then system halts:) i don't know what happens because i didn't click it. 2. I want to see profibus nodes' situtaions in the network , some of the other brands you can be online on the profıbus network and when you right click on the symbol of that node you can see the diagnostics of that node.I want to learn if it is possible in my unlicensed STEP7? If it is possible how can i do it? can anybody tell me basically this subject? Thanks a lot

Hello everybody; I don't know PROFISAFE ın details but at the moment i have a profıbus network that is completely from SIEMENS ( existing CPU İS S7-CPU315 2PN-DP) in the network thera are SIEMENS ET200S (IM151" 6ES7-151-1BA01-0AB0) slaves in the slaves there are Digital inputs-digital outputs and PROFISAFE inputs (6ES7-138-4FA01-0AB0) and PROFISAFE outputs (6ES7-138-4FB01-0AB0). I downloaded the slave's interface modules GSD files from siemens website (IM151" 6ES7-151-1BA01-0AB0) and i tried to make a network CONFIGURATION ın an other brand of cpu from OMRON when i added a slave in the slave's list i could see the normal digital inputs and output's codes but i coudn't see any code about PROFISAFE inputs (6ES7-138-4FA01-0AB0) and PROFISAFE outputs (6ES7-138-4FB01-0AB0).Can anyone tell me this happens why and how could i solve this problem? My second question is if i make hardware configuration in SIMATIC MANAGER i couldn't see PROFISAFE inputs and outputs in the list, i still use SIMATIC MANAGER V5.3 SP1.Can anybody help me about this subject?

Hi everybody; As i wrote to the forum before i have some problems with the fb usage the main problem is: The function blocks has a restriction for the number of input and output there can be maximum 64 inputs and 64 outputs. I am making a production line program per each machine there are profıbus remote i/o devices and in the line there are some machines which has same algorithms so the thing i want to do is: making a function block related with the algorithm of this machine type and in the main program there will be these function blocks named with the machine number for example machine_1, machine_2, e.t.c, as i wrote above the algorithm of machine_1 and machine_2 is same only the physical inputs and outputs will change and machines will work independently. Normally i create a function block named machine_x and i define the inputs and outputs as "bool" in the function block. And in the main program i put the inputs and outputs with the physical machine_1's and machine_2's digital i/o's like 3200.0, 3200.1 ,3300.0, 3300.1. But in this case if machine has more than 64 digital inputs or more than 64 digital outputs you couldn't create a function block with this type of machine. My questions are: 1. In the cases like this i can make the inputs and outpus word and in the fb i can use "mov" and "compare" commands, but in this case the fb takes more place in the program memory and data memory ,and there will be some some difficulties with naming the symbols of the fb, for example you have a program network which will make an output to a drain_valve by pressing the start button but you couldn't write the fb with "LD" AND "OUT" "instuction. What are your opinions for handling to this problem? 2. My opinion is creating a simple function block with SCL high level language which can convert the word inputs to the internal boolean array and can outputs these arrays as boolean. In the start of the program if i call this fb 10 times with different input words then fb will convert this words to my internal input boolean bits ( start button,e.t.c) i will use these bits in the program. As there are not restrictions for the internal variables i can read 64X16 digital bits and if i make the inverse of this trip at the and i can write 64x16 digital outputs with using function blocks. But i don't know the SCL commands can anyone send me some documents which describes the SCL commands (with examples it will be perfect")

i did it by thinking each bit of the array as a word array. the bit is always the first bit of the word array's element for example if you think x[number of elements=16] and you use the first bits of the array you must write "SETA X[0], &0, &1" then if you want to reset all first bits you write "RSTA X[0], &0, &256"(16X16). In this solution you waste bits and you waste program memory for single set operation because you write SETA (NOT SET). Also For LD command you have to use BTEST command because your bits are the first elemnts of the word array. As your approach to the problem it is not useful because if you make the variable as "AT" AND you assigned w400 for example and you use two or three times these function block in different places in the program then the function block doesn't work as a function f(x) it works like a subroutine i think

Hi everybody; I'm a new user of FB's in plc i defined a bool array x[number of elements=15] and i want to reset all of this array with only one command like "RSTA". How can i do this? i couldn't find the syntaxes i think. when i write "set x[0]" or x[1], e.t.c. it works, but when i want to make this with multiple set-reset commands i couldn't do it. can anybody help me?

Hi everybody; I want to ask is it possible to connect E5CN-Q2MT-500 by using E53-CNH03 RS485 Converter to NS5 series HMI from PORTB?. Because the manual "V085-E1-03" says "you can connect Only FLK series temp controllers to NS Series HMI". You can see in the attached file.NS5_E5CN_TEMPCONTROLLER.pdf

Hello everybody; I'm using alarm objects in NT3S display, since this operator panel is new i couldn't get more information from OMRON people here.I want to acknowledge alarms automatically, but in the manual it says for eliminating the alarm from the screen, first there musn't be this alarm, second you must acknowledge this alarm by putting an acknowledging button in the screen (Key's specific Task), but we don't want to see the alarm in the screen when this alarm is not present, for this reason we should acknowledge alarms automatically.I think there must be a system register which acknowledges all alarms automatically .Or we must put an invisible button and we must press it form PLC. We can write this button's press task "Acknowledge All Alarms" but also i don't know the way to do this. Can anybody give me any suggestion or any help?

Hi everybody; I will do a project with approxiametly 25 remote i/o's with CJ1G-45H CPU, before this project i made a project with DRT2 Series slaves, but for my new project i have only 4 weeks to make the machine ready to produce and the bad thing is Omron in my country told me that i can get DRT2 slaves approxiamtely 10 weeks. So in this situation i couldn't use DRT2 slaves, so i'm looking for alternative protocol to devicenet it can be only profibus, because the nearest date to get SRT2 (Combobus) slaves is 10 weeks also.I have two alternative for devicenet remote i/o's one is PHONEIX CONTACT other is WEIDMULLER. For profibus i have three alternatives PHONEIX, WEIDMULLER, VIPA.(SIEMENS is expensive) My first question to the friends according to their experiences i have not enough time for making this project and i didn't use profibus before will it be hard to do this project with profibus?or does it like devicenet? My second question is if i choose devicenet which brand will be the easiest one to Integrate PHONEIX OR WEIMULLER? same question for profibus. My last question is: i Think for profibus i must integrate these brands slaves GSD files to OMRON CPU and for devicenet i must integrate these brands slaves ESD files to OMRON CPU. Am i correct? The time is going on and i must solve this problem, but i need some experience i couldn't find it in my country because there is only one person is related with plc systems in omron central office and he is on holiday and the other automation suppliers here rarely use fieldbus technologies. If someoene help me i will be too happy:) I'm in very difficult situation. THANKS EVERYONE

i leraned them today device look very good and modular but as they are new produzts they are expensive and the delivery date is too long.

Thanks so muck Banker; But the problem is I have only Cx-One-Trial and in the trial version i couldn't see CX-Profibus.Maybe i have to buy the licenced one. Is there any way to configure slaves without using CX-profibus slaves. I Think the answer is no but i don't like spending money for software. Also my last question is what is prt21 and what is prm21?

beckhoff is not much used brand in my country and the customer only wants devicenet or profibus. I think i will use profibus with VIPA Remote I/O's but in this situation i don't have any idea for configurating the Profibus. Normally i use CX-ONE programming suite but i think for configuration of the bus i need CX-profibus, am i correct? And also for profibus what must be the steps i really don't know how to interface, can anybody tell me what must i do step by step for digital remote i/o configuring.

It takes a lot of time to get AB prducts in my country and they are too expensive:) The price offer for the system was given with Omron prices with their special discounts. So in this case i couldn't use their slaves.

I tried it but it didn't solve my problem, if you have other ideas please share with me, there must be a solution but i couldn't find it.

Hello everybody; I don't have a good devicenet communication cable but my distance is not so longer, so i can communicate with this cable at 125kbps but i checked the communication speed in CX integrator, i have seen it is "71 ms".I think this is a very long time for serial communication. What affects this speed? only cable or also the CPU's hardware affect i want to learn.
