Thanks, Gili! All the information above is correct, but you also mentioned the ID217. This is a 4 channel (64 bit) DC input module and is part of the Group 2 I/O family. Because it has more inputs than the simple 16 bit input modules, it is addressed by the rotary selector switch found on the front of the module. If the number is 0, then the module wil be assigned to word 30-33. If the number is 1, then the module will be assigned to word 32-35. Hope this helps.

Thankyou Gili! The cable above is correct. Be sure you specify 3G2C7-LK201-EV1 for the communication adapter. LK201 is a generic name for all communication adapters at Omron.

It sounds like there is a rung with no initiating contact and a function block: |----------[FUN(__)]--|

If you give students the whole answer, what do they learn?

I tried a few values and they seemed to work. Try this out:

Double click the second operand of the timer and enter new value in tenths of a second. i.e., #0200= 20 seconds C200HS_CN220_EU_Serial_Cable.zip

Guest_mountainman: Please register at MrPLC.com and join the MRPLC.com community Register at MrPLC.com These types of adapters work well as long as neither device is trying to continually access the serial port. Unfortunately, the NT20S is in a continual poll of the serial port.

The hex values are true for numbers A-F.

Instead of making us guess about your application, how about telling us what you're really trying to accomplish. It could be there is a solution, but we need more information.

Yes. Recipe will equal three DM's.

He's just being modest... he practically answers all the rest of the forum plus AB.

Hmmmm..... Let's just say I have some direct connections to Omron.

Post from an email by jhorton: Jay I have a question that I hope you can help me with. I have a application that will consist of a chamber that is about 8 feet in length. Inside this chamber will be a coil similiar to a steam coil, but will have some type of hot liquid circulating through it. ( Not sure of liquid yet ) Could you give me some advice on what would be the best way to go about connecting a couple of rtd type temp probes in both ends of the chamber and using one of the inner boards on a cqm1h use the rtd inputs and average the two in order to try and requlate the temperature inside the vessel. Have seen a temp process control module mad by ttec on the internet when searching, but would prefer to use one of the inner boards with the cqm1h. Any advice you could give would be very appreciated. Will be using a NT20s display, so at the moment reading the manuals for the innerboards and trying to figure out how to use the two rtd sensors and average them and show the temp on the display in Farenheight. Thanks

Be sure to use the CX-Programmer Settings Utility to set the ports to 1:N NT Link. Just setting the DMs does not setup the port. The DMs are a reflection of what has been set with the settings utility. Also be sure you are using standard speed rather than high speed as NT600S only supports standard speed. Be sure to transfer the data under Options:Transfer to PLC in the Settings Utility. This option will not be available if the CPU is not in the Program Mode.

Think of the logical port as a buffer for the CPU. There are 8 logical buffers for PMCR and network transmissions in the CPU. Therefore you can trigger up to eight PMCR instructions at the same time without waiting for the first PMCR to finish. Most users will leave this digit (12 thru 15) at 0 unless they are triggering multiple PMCRs at the same time. The actual comm port is specified in digit 3(12 thru 15) in the second operand of the PMCR instruction.

This message occurs because the original macro was written for an SCB. You are trying to load it to an SCU. Change the target from PSB to SCU(0).

OK. I'll take it to the software people. What model C200HS? What port? CPU Port? Peripheral Port? LK201? How long does it take for the error message to appear? Longer or shorter than auto-online?

A couple of questions: 1. What version of NTST are you using? 2. What is the exact model number of the NT631C that you have targeted for this application? 3. Under Start|Omron|NTST do you have a program called NT System INstaller? Based on the answers to the above questions, the solution will be simple or very complex. If you have late enough software and you have access to NT System installer, you can upgrade your NT631C to the recipe function which is exactly what you are looking for. If not, it's going to take an enormous amount of complex ladder using indirect addressing. Here's a screen shot of what it will look like:

What program? Ladder? VB? Basic? What commands?

It is my understanding that the only form of manual is the help file itself. Please describe the error messages that you are getting while trying to connect. Also the specific hardware.
