  1. NT631C Ver 3.62

    Give it a try!
  2. NT631C Ver 3.62

    Yes you would think so but I don't remember doing any update. NTST has never had updates, only full versions. Have you tried the version in the link I sent you by PM?
  3. NT631C Ver 3.62

    Did you uninstall 4.81 first? I believe NTST installs different versions side-by-side, not sure if that makes a difference. It should become available in 4.85 as I tried in the screenshots.
  4. NT631C Ver 3.62

    Update to NT-Support tool 4.85. It's included in the latest CX-One disk in the folder utility/NT-SupportTool/English/NTST-EV4.85/
  5. HELP ME KNOWN EROR DEVICE NET

    E9= memory error and Hb= CPU unit faulty. Seems like your CPU needs repair/replacement. http://support-omron.fr/pdf/Err7Seg%20from%20W380-E1-08%20DRM21.pdf Tip: if you go to http://support-omron.fr/index.php, fill in your error code at the top "ERROR FINDER". It will give a list of the erros of the available units and a link to the pdf with info...
  6. AD04U usage

    Hi, Never used that unit but a good way to quickly check the memory areas without wading through the somehwat overwhelming Omron manuals is to select your IO unit in the IO table, set the unit number and check the adresses indicated. It seems you can set a zero and range span to scale the range of your sensor value. In my example I set the unit no. to 4.
  7. Omron & Balluff

    First we used the Profinet coupler, but it was quite a pain to setup in CX-Configurator FDT, you cannot set parameters for the coupler through its webserver. Then we tested the EIP coupler (UR20-FBC-EIP) beta for Weidmuller and since its official release use it. It saves an expensive Profinet unit in the CPU, plus you can do all the coupler and I/O parameters in the webserver. Without any "master" PLC, you can connect to the couplers webserver and test/control all I/O. Quite useful.
  8. Omron & Balluff

    We have been using Weidmullers U-Remote EIP couplers. The integrated webserver makes setting up the I/O parameters and testing (force mode) without any master configuration a piece of cake, it really works well. After setting the IP in the bus coupler you can upload the configuration in Network Configurator, then it's a matter of setting 2 network tags for input and output data. Add the 2 tags as net variables in the CX-Programmer I/O table and done. Pricing is competitive, too. http://www.weidmueller.com/124609/Products/Electronics-and-automation/Remote-IO/u-remote-IP20/cw_multiselect_v2.aspx
  9. You can perfeclty use multiple instances using the same name. Just be sure that the FB can be processed in 1 scan, so no timers/counters/PID loops. A simple mathematic scale FB for instance with some underrange/overrange detection can be used as much as you would like using the same instance name. It sure saves a whole lot of FB memory...
  10. Attached I wrote a small guide. I guess you can figure out the rest yourself. Note that by using indirect adressing, you can quite easily access the complete memory area by specifying just 1 AT address base 0. AT adressing inside an FB.pdf
  11. Hi Bob, yes I am back at my old employer.. now teamleader for the software engineers. With the number of engineers (now 9), rate of projects and ever evolving systems we cannot live without... we are even looking into generating the I/O symbols for the FB from the electrical diagrams. But I guess we all have our pros and cons. Still busy as ever Bob?
  12. Omron HMI nt series conveter

    You cannot downgrade a V2 program to V1 . Once you have selected a model and version in NT-Support Tool > Tools > PT-Configuration > PT Type > PT-Model and confirmed by OK, the list of available models to convert to will be adjusted.
  13. CJ2M and ModBus TCP

    If you need to be a server (slave), make life easy and use the CP1W-MODTCP61. Designed for the CP series to use in Modbus Easy mode, it also supports server mode in the CJ2M-3x CPU series. Configuration is a piece of cake.See attached manual. If you need to be a client (master), you can use the FB on Myomron.com, MTCP_ETN_Client.zip v2.3 is also supported by CJ2M. You will need to have a CJ1W-ETN21. It does NOT work on a on board Ethernet I/P port or CJ1W-EIP21 unit, as those do not support socket services.. CP1W-MODTCP61_SetupGuideManual_EN_201207.pdf

    Your cable is wrong. You might want to read a manual instead of just throwing together a cable and pray it works. http://forums.mrplc.com/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=400
  15. B&R 2005 convert to X20 platform

    OK, thanks for your reply.. I was about to contact the local B&R office but I am always interested to hear opinions from the real world :)
  16. Omron NT31

    There is no "RUN" function you are looking for. It sounds like your communication settings of PLC port and NT panel port do not match. Access the NT panel system menu (press any two corners at the same time). I made an instruction sheet for a customer once who had the same problem after replacing the NT panel. See attached how to check your NT panel settings. It must match the PLC port settings. On top of that, the PT first register set in the PT control/notify area must be set to a valid screen number (in BCD). E.g. on PLC first cycle, use a MOV instruction that moves #100 in the register, if your startup screen is 100. In this example MOV #100 to D10. NT31 Check comms method.pdf
  17. ConfiguratorFDT

    As I understood once from an Omron tech, it's not possible to upload a configuration from an PNT21...
  18. Check myomron.com (register), go to downloads/8.Programming Samples/PLCs/Function Blocks (Beta Release), there you find FB Modbus TCP.zip. It is a function block with some documentation to use a function block for setting up a Modus TCP client in a ETN21 unit. It works pretty wel. Socket Communication With CJ1W-ETN21 Nevermind, I thought you were talking Modbus TCP to your camera judging the file name of your program but it looks they are just raw socket data. Here are some other useful articles: TCP Socket Communications Sample For CJ1W-ETN21 and Weidmüller serial to Ethernet converter Socket Communication With CJ1W-ETN21

    Have you tried removing the device in Windows device manager and have the drivers reinstall automatically?
  20. omron cj2m cpu31

    see http://www.pcvue-sea.com/ch/pdf/pcvue/Available%20Protocols.pdf Either FINS TCP (the integrated Ethernet port of CJ2M supports FINS) or take any OPC server that supports FINS Ethernet.
  21. Hi all, Recently we waved off Citect and switched to Proficy HMI SCADA - Cimplicity. While already 3 project license keys have landed on my desk, I have bearly finished the beginnners training and plugged in my developers key. We will be using the Omron TCP/IP native driver which according to the driver documentation uses proprietary FINS commands over UDP. I have good knowledge about the Omron FINS network setup and structure. I have been studying the somwehat fragmented help on the driver and sniffed through the GE Fanuc e-Forum and while still in the trial&error process I thought I could open a topic here aside to see if anyone can tell me things I don't have to figure out myself. For now I can't seem to connect to my test CPU, did all the global parameters setup and added correct entries in windows services and hosts file but the test tool gives me a socket connection failure. I will have to get back with more details on this but any contribution is welcome!
  22. CJ2M-CPU31- CP1E-NA ethernet/IP data share

    Thanks guys, a bit less hands on but you see what that brings me.. I'm getting rusty!!
  23. CJ2M-CPU31- CP1E-NA ethernet/IP data share

    So CP1L-E does support routing tables for it's ethernet port, using "internal" unit no. 250? In that case it is a piece of cake :) *edit* I see it does now, I was a bit spooked about your statement about the CP1E not supporting a routing table. All good!
  24. CJ2M-CPU31- CP1E-NA ethernet/IP data share

    Hi PMCR, I've got a similar project where we have a CP1L-E in a network with multiple CJ2M-EIP CPU's. The CJ2M-EIP CPU's are running an Ethernet IP datalink. CJ2M-EIP ports rotary switch are all set to unit no. 1 and are set to network #1 using a local routing table. This because there are also some NS terminals connected which by default have the Ethernet port set to network number #1. The CP1L only needs to send 1 bit to one of the CJ2M-EIP CPU's. If I understand correctly, I need to set the unit no. of the CJ2M that's suppose to talk to the CP1L-E to 0. Update the routing table for that unit to put unit 0 on local network #1 instead of unit 1. Next I can use a SEND instruction in the CP1L-E or RECV instruction in the CJ2M using network 0, unit 0, and node of the PLC across?
  25. Cables diagram ZEN & PC?

    The ZEN interface module has a special connector. You need to purchase the ZEN-CIF01 cable.
