    Recently a friend of mine gave me a FX1S-30MR-ES/UL PLC. He, however, told me one of the outputs was not working. Is there a way of checking the outputs ? I do not have the interface software. Thank you for your input Felipe

    I am getting an "Unable to initialize link! Link 260Kseq probably doesn't exist" What I do next is to modify the driver object in my application (DL1) and select a link I know am using in the ladder logic program I working on. I still get the same message in the alarms window.

    I have trying LookOut Direct Demo version now for over a week. Suddenly it seems that the screen I was using for testing does not communicate with PLC (DL260) anymore. Is this because it is a demo ? Even though they don't say it, does it not only not run with over 10 points and stops after an hour but it stops running after a period of time ? I have tried the tool here at the office and my supervisor and collegue technicians have seen a good use for the tool, but I was stopped with this issue. I am trying to sell the idea of buying the complete developer version. Anything you can share to help me sell the idea of buying the software is appreciated. Thank you.

    Yes, anonymous the '.cdm' file is created. I always change the '*.cdm' file from within CX-Supervisor. The only possibility left like you mention is that the file is corrupt. Is there any way I can check this before deleting and recreating the file ? Thanks

    If I run CX-Programmer 6.0 and then try to run a CX-Supervisor 1.25(4) application I get the following error message: Device handle is invalid. The convert feature saids "The open PLC handle is invalid" What does this mean and how to correct it ? Thank you for your help.

    I am getting the following message in the Error Log Window: TIMEOUT/other communication error: PLC3, [CX-Server:DEVICE, COMMS_FAILED, 0X8A1B]. How do I go about solving the problem ? where do I start ? Thank you for your help.

    As far as I know datalink provides a way of sharing data between PLC's by defining shared memory areas (CIO, DM etc). Does the definition of these shared memory areas work one way ? In other words, do you define the shared memory areas from the sending PLC. If you have two PLC's in a controller link network, do you just setup datalinik areas on PLC1 and the other PLC will be able to read these memory areas ? Thank you.

    In our installation we have three networks running a sail making machine. Two networks are Controller Link (OMRON propietary network) connected between them through a wireless ethernet link. We monitor and control the application through a PC (running Omron's HMI tool) connected to the main PLC though a wired Ethernet connection. I wanted to test if WinCC could perform as OMRON"s HMI tool or better?

    I used the following script to generate the register stamp refered to before. MyYear=$Year MyMonth=$Month MyDay=$DayOfMonth MyYear_Text = ValueToText(MyYear) MyMonth_Text = ValueToText(MyMonth) MyDay_Text = ValueToText(MyDay) Run_Consecutive=Run_Consecutive+1 MyConsecutive_Text = ValueToText(Run_Consecutive) RUN_STAMP=MyYear_Text+MyMonth_Text+MyDay_Text+MyConsecutive_Text How can I add a special character ( underscore ) between MyDay_Text and MyConsecutive_Text variables in RUN_STAMP?

    Hello. Currently, I am datalogging production variables such as vaccum pressure, temperatures and other information related to a specific manufacturing run ( manufacturing run = each time I start the machine ). I want to stamp each register with the following information and format: YYYYMMDD_# ( year, month, day_consecutive#). Even if a run fails, next time we start the machine, this new run will have a new consecutive number. I appreciate any help given.

    Hello. Has anybody had a chance of evaluating CX-ONE. We are considering upgrading our CX-Programmer, so I wanted to know about the features and benefits of this version. Thanks.

    I have a setup with a Trio Motion Coordinator MC206, Simple Servo Drive SS608 and an advanced Digital Servo Motor 523-20-F430. The project in mind is to be able to start the TRIO motion programs from a CJ1M PLC. An operator will set a reference speed through an HMI (CX-Supervisor). How do I communicate the Trio Motion controller with the CJ1M? Is ethernet an option? OMRON ETN11 Ethernet module & Trio Ethernet daughter board Help.

    Hello. Does anybody know of a way of editing graphics elements from the Graphics Libraries in CX-Supervisor. I want to change the color of an element and create a new same element with a different color. Thanks.
