  1. Function Block Instance error

    Yes very important: You must have the same decimal symbol (point or comma) in your Windows Parameter/Regionnal Setting, than you have in your FB if in structured text. 
  2. CP1E with expansion card

    It's normal, there is no table for CP1 series PLC. Read The Manual.....
  3. Omron's syswin software

    You can emulate windows XP in Windows 7 (Windows virtual PC) and then install Syswin. It work very well. For those who don't understand why, as an example, the company I work for has  several (Maybe 30 or 40) old CxxK series PLC's. Syswin only there.  
  4. Omron dmpx instruction

    Did you read the explanations in the programming manual?
  5. Timer indirect adressing

    I'm pretty sure he meant to ask if he can use DM's or other words as SV for timer, and same question for counter... 
  6. CP1L PLC CPU password protected!

      Never used protection, but I believe you are right, unless this option was checked:  
  7. Timer indirect adressing

    Yes you can. That is well explained in the programming manual. Or, even easyer: Right click on the instruction, then choose: "Instruction help". That will give you this:    
  8. Maybe CXP want you to enter 100,0 instead of 100.0 if your Windows parameters has comma as numeral separator. I Had this issue when creating FB's in ST.   Edit: Just tested it. It will work with the comma. Otherwise if you want it to work with the point, change your Windows parameters. (Regional settings)
  9. Setting up Omron 3G3MX2 VSD with encoder feedback

    In case you did'nt look in the Manual: Error 81 is for: Excess speed. The 3 is for the inverter status at this moment: At constant speed. Maybe a bad encoder wiring, or probably you forgot to enter a parameter. (P011 maybe)
  10. Error on CompoNet remote network in CJ2M-CPU33

    What do you mean... hex include 0 to F so why not 9?
  11. CJ2M serial communication

    Your HMI must have the communication driver for that PLC, why don't you use it?
  12. Instead of a timer, you could decrease a DM with a 0.1 sec. pulses, and compare that DM with 0.
  13. CPM1A Backup/password

    There could be another option, if my memory is good about CPM serie: The output relays (or transistor) are not on the same card than the CPU. (Correct me if I'm wrong...) So you could just take the card that manage the IO and transfer it on the new PLC.
  14. Migration from C60H

    I never doubted that you know that, that was just to make it clear for the Op.
  15. Migration from C60H

    Yes but can not upload or download from CxxK series. Never heard about CxxH before but I figure it's the same.
  16. PID operation without PID or PIDAT instruction?

    CQM1, CPM2, C200H... Yes, expansion instructions was a PITA!
  17. analogue input/output

    I suggest you read the manual first (section 7), then come with more specific question. http://forums.mrplc.com/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=855
  18. how to write program to find max and min value

    What is your PLC?
  19. how to write program to find max and min value

    I do this often, very simply, by moving the value in a register, and comparing that value to the actual value. The comparison instruction has to be scanned first then it will compare to the value present in the previous scan. In other word the Compare instruction must be before the Move instruction in the ladder.
  20. 8012 mean that your analog input 0 (range code 010) is configured to 1-5V or 4-20mA, and your analog input 1 (range code 001) is already configured to 0-10V. If the second analog input (input1) would have been configured to 4-20mA too, you would have had a 8022 range code. Hope this help.
  21. http://forums.mrplc.com/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=855 Not sure about how to post a link, but if not working, it is the manual W462-E1-02, that you can find here in the download section, or on Omron Canada Web Site. Go to section 7. It is much better explained than I could do in English. You also need a minimum understanding of Hexadecimal and binary.
  22. CPM 2A 60CDR-D Output stuck

    This is why, now I often wire some outputs (Hydraulic valves especially) to external relays, like G2RV. If you or someone else have some ability with a solder gun, that relay is easy to change. Or, you can move that output to another that is not used. If you change that PLC, since this model is obsolete you will have to look for a CP1L. What is the load?
  23. Controlling ladder bits from HMI

    Not sure to understand what you need to do, since that with CADD and CSUB you dont need to extract in separates register, but if you have to do this anyway, I think that clock data are in A351, A352, A353 and A354. You have to extract data from theses register. If I recall correctly, seconds and minutes from A351, hour and day from A352, etc. Not sure from then but you will find it in the Manual. Here is a FB I found for this, a couple of years ago. It output all of it in separates outputs. Extract_Date_Time Ladder.zip
  24. Using the CNT function

    When I was new to Omron, the first thing I did was to read the programming manuals. There are very good hints there. And when I ask question on a forum, I read the answers before ask again. But usually I make my homeworks before asking.
  25. Using the CNT function

    See post #3 Your info tell your are studying but did you begin?
