Thanks Bob, I am also out of ideas. As the PC is worthless anyway now, I might just have them try open it up and re inserting the board...

Same here Bob, never seen this myself too. I have to kill the process first in task manager, after the "start" option becomes available, but the same thing happens. The computer sits on a ship and I am not really comfortable having the engineer on board opening it up, it's a Omron Dyalox computer.

Please don't open multiple topics and send PM to users on the same subject... I have merged the topics here.

some more information would be helpful. How are you connected? NB10 <wired> wifi router <wifi> laptop?

I haven't used IE at least for 5 years... Must be related to HTML5 or something like that, I also experienced issues with IE not being able to display Weidmullers U-Remote IO Couplers webserver whilst Chrome and FF we ok. Since then I never used IE again.

An XFER instruction to set or change a setpoint value sounds odd, but is possible with the correct parameters. Perhaps you can post a screenshot of the logic? That will be helpful to see how it's working.

All seems to be working fine for me on Chrome so seems to be browser related...

You will not need a new routing table but I asume the Beijer HMI will be connecting by FINS so you should set the appropriate network settings in the Beijer HMI including the network number #1 you defined with above routing table.

What is your question?

In terms of software solution: +1 for netsetman... try it and you will know.. select a preset profile from the systray and away you go, you can also include fmore than just IP.

Not quite Bob, the NS15 has a RS-422A port. @Keith, although I am working with Omron for 15 years I still struggle to find the correct information sometimes. The manuals have all the information you need, but are quite overwhelming with information and most of the times what you are looking for is scattered over several manuals. I have never used this setup but I collected the information and highlighted what I believe should be the dipswitch settings. Wiring seems obvious to me, 4 wire method connected 1:1 terminated at both ends. Attached find the file for hardware settings on the CIF12 and NS15, and software settings for CX-Programmer and CX-Designer. CP1W-CIF12.pdf CX-Programmer.pdf

Did the F1 error appear after changing the network structure? Did you add a new slave? Power off the network and check the network impendance. Should be about 60 Ohms, 121 Ohm connected at each end. I've used all kinds of cables, as long as they are shielded twisted pair it should be ok.

Thanks Michael for pointing that out

Thanks Michael! Off topic: I was wondering, does the memory card also saves a Protocol Macro from an SCU unit?

No worries! Still interested to know if you can transfer the UM protected PLC memory to a replacement CPU with easy backup/transfer function and CF card. Because the files on the card will still be protected I think it should be possible. Anyone can confirm?

Why replace the PLC? With a CJ1G the output unit can be replaced on itself. I even think replacing the CPU is possible with the flash card Easy backup function (dipswitch 7 on the CPU) when the program is protected. (not sure however)

Most likely the CX-Programmer project is opened on a system that has wrong regional settings which affects the symbol that is used for decimal separator. CX-Programmer expects a . (point) but with some regional settings, the decimal separator is a , (comma). Then CX-Programmer compiles the project with errors like "can't convert integer literal to real". Solution is to set the Windows regional settings such that a . (point) is used as decimal separator (US English for instance).

I'm currently searching for a touchscreen HMI which supports both Omron (FINS) ethernet and Modbus TCP/IP at the same time (dual driver). It would be a alternative for a SCADA program running on a Windows machine, so at least 8" and in colour. So far I've found Exor panels to be able to do this by standard, they already support multiple ethernet drivers and the Omron driver is currently being developed. Anyone has other alternatives ? I'd appreciate it .

Does the OPC server come with a test client? This is usually the easiest method to check if the problem is between OPC server and devices (PLC) or OPC server and client (CX-Supervisor)

Did you put the CPU in program mode when following the procedure? I don't have time to check the memory areas you are using but have a look at section 5-7 in this manual: http://forums.mrplc.com/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=63

Usually AD cards that go bad have suffered overvoltage on the inputs. In that case if you look in the card with a flashlight you can see the burned input circuitry on the PCB.. and mostly smell it :) How I know? Well... I just heard

http://forums.mrplc.com/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=467 See page 43. It describes the range of error codes 4101-42FF having to do with the FAL instruction being executed in the user program. Can you check the program for using the FAL instruction? Perhaps 4101 is a user generated error.

Sounds to me the AD041 is defect. Is this the only I/O unit on the CPU? Do others get detected normally? Do you have another AD-041 to test?

It's an old document, but should still hold. http://forums.mrplc.com/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=781

I only used Devicenet for "static" mapping of slave IO to the master, so I don't know really. Where would the CIP messaging be configured, using which tool?
