    Alternativly you can use the standard CPU Mounting 3G2A6-LK201-EV1 which can be used for C120/C200H/C500/C1000/C2000. however if memory serves me right for the C200H there is a funky metal extension plate to allow the CPU connector to link onto the processor. Used one years ago but can't remember what the part number is. If this would be of use I can check on Monday as it's still in my box of misc programming bits. Regards Chris

    Well i'm glad to report success. it appears that the CX-Protocol now ships with a protocol set to allow communication to C series PLC's. The protocols are also now being shipped in the latest issue of the protocol macro card. After some tech help from Omron UK, got the system up and running. Transfering 108 Words of CIO data, 450 Words of DM data. Typically a 15 second scan cycle to transfer the data. Regards Chris

    I've just re read your post and realised i've gone off on the wrong tack. really all your trying to do is swap the I/O addresses of card 1 & card 2 over. Just swaping the card positions on the rack and updating the I/O table will achieve this.

    There are possibilities The first is the most expensive, move all the cards up one position and put a spare unused CIO I/O card in the first slot this will force all the CIO units up one. the 2nd i've never tried but it might work. within the I/O table for CS1 plc's there is the option for a dummy I/O selection again move the I/O cards up one and leave the I/O Slot 0 empty. within the I/O table select a dummy I/O module for the first slot. this will again move the I/O addresses up one.

    Hi Jay, thanks for the help, Things have been really slow from the PLC side, so i've been off doing other things. All these PLC software frameworks flying around really restrict the smaller private company from developing skills and undertaking projects. So we tend only to pick up the difficult or unusual that others won't even look at. Regards Chris

    Hi, I'm hoping someone can help, I'm trying to read information from Data Memory in a C2000H PLC to a CS1 plc over a RS422 communications link The C2000H is fitted with a 3G2A6-LK0202-EV1 RS422 card the CS1 is fitted with a CS1W-SCB41-v1 Serial Board, RS232 / RS422. Anyone any ideas. or help

    In my young and foolish days I installed a RS232 link between at C2000H LK203 card running at 19.2k to a NT600M. The RS232 was transmitted down a 5 pair 0.75 BS5308 screened cable to various plug points where the NT600M could be connected. Worked fine out to about 40metres which was the furthest point on the system. must have been lucky or maybe the increase in the cable size helped. Regards Chris

    Well i've just upgraded to the V5.2 of the software and alot of the gripes of things that were missing from changing from RSLogix have been sorted, we'll have to see how it pans outin the long term.

    I'm doing a project where we have to tweak a SATCON 05 PLC. I've got DOX 5 Version 4 software but there's no manuals or help files as it's been sat in a draw for the last 10 years. Does anybody have anything that might help to get me out of this hole i'm in.

    File Name: Basic Electrical Symbols File Submitter: chrisbramall File Submitted: 1 Nov 2003 File Category: Tutorials and Guides These are basic electrical schematic symbols and blocks that I use for control panel design sorry there is no menu but i've always used the insert command so never got round to writing one. They are design to fit on a 10x10 grid. Click here to download this file

    We didn't have too many problems but keep a rolling check on the data stream using a time output transmitted from one PLC to the other and back again. If either PLC did not see a change for a set number of seconds the system was configured to shut the process down until the communications was reestablished. The radio system used was an RDT unit with a range of 10km but we were working at approx 0.5 km so we could dial the power level down a bit, and we could selected a free frequency. I havn't come accross the spread spectrum units but they sound pretty could from kens description.

    To the formum member that sent me a message via the MRPLC site regarding this PLC can you please contact me again with a valid email address as the previous one kept getting rejected. Please remember the PLC is in Yorkshire, second hand and i'd envisage that it would only be any could for college/traiing/demonsatration work. If anyone is interested send me your details and i'll calculate how much it would cost you for delivery. Regards Chris Bramall

    Out of interest has the unit got a ram card fitted and has the power recently been switched off for any reason. It could be something as simple as having no program in memory due to a flat memory backup battery ?

    Here is the Omron C500 picture as promised and only a day late. could not find the programing console but I will have a dig and see if I can find it. There are 3 24V DC Input cards each with 32 Inputs and there are 3 24V DC Output cards each with 32 Outputs.

    As I was saying over in the "Other PLC" section i've got an old Omron C500 plc which was removed by us during a customer upgrade around 5 years ago. The PLC is complete with one of the old style programmer pads with a tape recorder input. I'll post a photo and some I/O details on monday. Don't forget this PLC is currently in Barnsley , UK and whoever want's it will either have to collect or pay the shipping costs, sorry  but i.m not made of money and it is quite heavy

    No it's got the old manual programmer with tape recorder input. We removed it from a site when I upgraded it to C2000 Duplex around 6 years ago and it's still sat in our stores on our maybe useful pile but i'm sick of seeing it.

    From memory I don't think that the FX-48ER supports RS232 directly. If I remember rightly the programming lead is a RS422-RS232 convertor but i'm not sure as it's a while since I used the Mitsi.
