I understand Advanced HMI has an Omron driver.

Use the Modbus function block as above - it works with a bit of manipulation.

I strongly recommend using ANDW as described for separating the time segments - I use it all the time.It is seamless.

Raw CIP - eeek! Last time I did that was donkey's years ago on Device Net. Not for the faint hearted. Do not even have it now - old computer crashed.

MOV &0000 D100 will clear it.

Michael - thanks - will give it a go.

Michael I did not enable run as I do not need it. I did enable basics and from the initial value page tried to enable bit 14 but it will not enable - will not turn on. That is what I was referring to.

'err' to 'on' - where? I thought from the page checking basics and the selecting on or off would do it but cannot select on.

OK - tried it out today. Selected basics but it appears one has to click on each individual item to enable ii "on" or "off" - cannot click on these at all and enable them. $SB has been allocated to channel 700. Turn on 700.14 in the PLC and nothing happens.

figured it out mate - will be onsite doing tomorrow. Will let you know how I go.

Ta chelton - found it.

Hi lostcontrol - do you mean as in a macro or something like that?

The only thing I can find in help re using the buzzer is to use a multi function button. I want to use the buzzer as an alarm buzzer and turn on $SB13 or $SB14 from a bit in the PLC. Can anyone help please?

Thanks Michael - I think I will have to go to a dedicated PLC for this unfortunately. Schneider have the M580 and Emerson appear to have one as well. Will investigate further today.

Sadly I did not know Jay had passed away. We have had discussions over a long period of time - since I joined this group actually. I have run Ethernet switches in a ring before - no issue there. Will have to dig further I guess. Thanks.
