  1. NT to NS Conversion

    Check out the NTSeries conversion Support Tool in the CX-Designer programs folder, asuming you have CX-One installed. It does a pretty good job in converting objects and adressing, although the screens need to be touched up manually.
  2. Sounds to me some indirect addressing is being used in your logic. Have you checked for DM1555 being used anywhere in your logic? Also mght want to check for DM0 being used as range base.
  3. Cx Programmer Integrated Simulator

    It is difficult to say based on this little information what is wrong. Can you share more details, what version of CX-One? Some screenshots of the error you encounter? What is your method for starting online simulation, PLC type, etc.
  4. Usually a Modbus slave comes with a specific adress mapping, specified in a datasheet or manual. This shows what function codes and adressing is available in the slave device. The master programming is done using this information. Reading or writing a false address will generate an exception error in the slave.
  5. omron stuck on connecting....

    You can find system version 6.x here on MrPLC. http://forums.mrplc.com/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=399 If you press 2 corners on the HMI simultaneously you enter the system menu. Here you can initialize data. Be sure of what you are doing! You might want to download and read some manuals too. Register at myomron.com and look in /downloads/1.Manuals/HMI/NS/
  6. Trouble with speed between multiple NS screens

    NS terminals were never any good handling offline hosts. Not sure how it is now, been a good year since I played with them at my old employer. In systems where we had to deal with non preferent trips due to generator load balancing, this was the no. 1 complaint.
  7. How to change port on CX-Designer project?

    There is a replace host option somehwere in the menus. Have a look for it.
  8. I believe the 2 hour demo version should allow OPC comms but am not 100% sure.
  9. Well, same as with Cimplicity, your OPC server probably has some kind of log where it tells you that a client (in this case Cimplicity) connected to poll tag X for instance. Further more, you don't have any conversion set like integer to real? You might want to try to configure the point in Cimplicity as a REAL. I asume you have a license key to allow communication in Cimview (check with Cimplicity license manager)
  10. Hard to tell from these pictures. I would check Cimplicity status log for any messages.Does your OPC server have any status view? So you can see if the Cimplicity OPC client is polling etc.

    Sounds like you need to restore your routing tables as well. Did you do this?
  12. I don't know Forum Runner, but I have asked Chris to add MrPLC to Tapatalk. It's a great app that can browse forums really fast. Forum Runner looks to do about the same. There actually is a Tapatalk Beta available in the Play Store for free right now.
  13. Alarm editing

    Just copy from alarm editor and paste them in Excel!

    Not aware of A/B stuff but reading Kepware one thing comes to mind: did you unlocked the server license? Also, Kepware has some pretty good debugging at hand. Have a look at the status messages when starting up Kepserver. What does it say?

  17. CX Supervisor Ver 1.1

    That indeed is rare. Thumbs up for the maintenance guy! I have used parallel port PCI expansion cards on a number of occasions. They work well. USB to parallel converters however do not. They are ok for connecting a printer, but not for license dongles.
  18. Synchronize Clock

    Have a look in the IO table settings for the ETN11. Not sure if the ETN11 supports too, but the ETN21 supports setting up a NTP server to sync clocks. *Had a quick look in the manual, seems this is only supported by ETN21 ...
  19. CX Supervisor Ver 1.1

    I believe you should be OK. Runtime licensing is taken care of by the dongle, I believe I never had to enter a runtime license key during software setup. The developer does need to have valid license keys upon installation though. Use the dongle installer to detect and activate the dongle, v1.1 uses the DB25 parallel dongle, have had some issues with parallel ports in the past. You might need to change some BIOS settings.
  20. Windows not recognising Supervisor

    I once ran into a similar kind of problem when the *sr2 extension associated with runtime was overtaken by I believe it was Picasa Desktop software. Try registering the extension of the Supervisor file you want to open manually with the correct *.exe (right click, open with, choose program, browse for CX-Supervisor application).
  21. In this topic user Meirion says: Can anyone confirm this? I have been experiencing comms problems when uploading/downloading NT screens lately, e.g. download or upload almost never completes but is always interrupted for no apparant reason. Sometimes at 5%, sometimes 15%, etc. I changed laptops, double checked my cable, etc but all same results. Only thing in common is the version used is 4.6. NTST is the only software giving problems. I could swear I have used 4.6 without problems on my previous XP laptop and also for a while on my new one, but as I don't use it that often anymore it could very well be it was always giving problems on this installation. Why don't I use version 4.7? I know I can find it in the CX-One installation disc, but I installed it before and I could not upload from a NT31, it kept saying that the system version from the screen was different than the selected system version in NTST, and when I compared to the available system versions in 4.6 I discovered some are missing in 4.7. Next time I go on site I will use 4.7 to see if the problems go away but I was just curious what your opinions are.
  22. Omron CX-Programmer

    Not sure but might be worth looking if you have expansion function slots where you can map the SCL instruction. Else, do it the old fashioned way. Y = mx + b Scaled value = (input value x rate) + offset Rate = (scaled max. - scaled min.) / (input max. - input min.) Offset = scaled minimum - (input minimum x rate)
  23. CP1H networking issues

    I think the CIF41 cannot handle the client's polling rate... It is not a "full blown" ethernet module and has a limited framesize of about 1000 bytes I believe. You should look up the CIF41 specs and make sure the client is designed to poll within the througput limitation.
  24. Counter Instruction Problem

    Also, make sure you are monitoring in HEX format and not decimal. Check the icons in the toolbar...
  25. I/O bus error

    Do you have an end cap attached and are all orange slides in lock position and cards are properly joined?
