Thanks a lot! I think I am beginning to figure this out. I am going to try this live soon, but there's one thing I also want to clear out. If I read this list right I think it means both input and output module can have same node address?

I still haven't found answer any help would be appreciated. :)

My srm type is CJ1W-SRM21 I have unit number 2 on program file mach 2 (switch 10^1 = 0 switch 10^0 = 2) dip 1= on (switch to right) dip 2,3,4 = off (switch to left)

I have also similar problem. I really don't "get" the manual. For example I would have 2 modules SRT2-ID16-1 (node setting 9) and SRT2-OD16-1 (node setting 10) How do I know what adresses they have now? I know that node 8 has adress i/o 2032 on CJ1M-CPU13. How do I set/get this unit address and i/o address?

I never got quite finished with this but there was something really weird with node 2 which wasn't working. In the end I suspected cabling through node 2 because we set up test plc with brand new cablings and it worked fine, only if we tried to setup node 2 plc it wasn't working coud have been even problem with node 2 cpu or some i/o card. Needless to say no one ever got this system working properly. Factory was closed for other reasons later so sadly I didn't get chance to try out replacing hardware or cables. If possible I strongly suggest get temporary cables and test plc, disconnect node which isn't working and connect test plc with new cables instead. If test plc is working there is hardware or cabling problem with faulty node. If not possible to set up test plc at least measure voltage/resistance etc. you can imagine on cables and try replacing hardware parts one by one on faulty node. Also make sure you do right steps when booting up the system. Controller link has very specific way for starting up. If you start nodes in wrong order it might not work, that's why you should have everything running on backup power in case of blackouts. Or at least "master" node. Also check terminations. If you just replaced card which needs termination there might be problem there. If you have link on automatic mode like we apparently had there when nodes start and you have one missing it doesn't necessarily work properly when you initialize system. Just few ideas. Finding fault in these cases can be time consuming because diagnostics isn't really that great in these old models. Or hell, in any omron system I've encountered this far.

We have touch screen NS10-TV00B-V2 which only started with blue screen and then went black with run led (green) on. Later it only goes orange or someties doesn't even give blue screen at start I pressed reset few times and turned power on and off. Can't get program downloaded and I don't have manual. Can someone tell me normal procedure with serial cable download? Do I need to turn panel on before or after I start download? Do I need some kind of special com port settings? I have successfully downloaded program before but it was a while ago so I cannot remember exactly. I just want to find out for sure if panel is just *kaboom* broken or program corrupted.

nm i found right manual now :D For CJ1M cpu: if 0,1ms interval setting selected in cpu settings range is 5...9999 decimal unlike for 1ms or 10ms setting when range is from 1 to 9999.

one more question: what is format of parameter S interrupt data? Does &10 mean 1ms or 0,1ms? I tried setting &1 and it doesn't work, I read from some tutorial range for parameter S is #5...270F but what does it mean in finnish? At least when I tried that minimum #5 seems to work but is it 0,5ms or 5ms or something else?

hey thanks i was missing msks instruction call

Hello How do I make a very fast cyclic counter or is it even possible? I woud need at least 1000 counts per second. Or at least I could try to manage with more than 100 counts a second. I've tried t figure out if I could do it with interval interrupt 0 or something like that but I have no clue yet where to set interval time for it? Normal cyclic program cycle is currently around 4ms which is not even nearly enogh to produce amount of counts I need so... It's been a couple of years since I touched these omron things last time so I'm bashing my head on the wall :/

You can probably find answer somewhere from siemens knowledge base. There's some examples too, I think. http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/l...&viewreg=WW

OK. So I have this TP170B panel and I have a pushbutton with color indicator (appearance color bit value). Push button event press setbitwhilekeypressed is linked to bit DB1 DBX118.1 and color is linked to bit M51.1. This works. Basically when I push the button machine goes to desired state and button changes color to green. However, if I try to link color effect to bit DB1 DBX84.3 color does not change. Basically this DB bit is same than M51.1. Bit status in DB does change but it doesn't always show up on screen. Is there some kind of known problem while using datablocks with operation panels which could be related to this?

Depending on your system you should be able to have "automatic" system alarm list on HMI after some alarm configuration settings. If that's what you mean. I wonder what kind of diagnostics exactly do you mean and what's the plc etc.

I believe you can download syswin programming tool for free from omron ftp if that is sufficient for your needs.

Physical network has been checked it is ok. Terminations are ok. 4 of 5 CLK cards in network are working properly only node 2 isn't. When I check diagnostics on polling/startup node (1) it says everything is ok except node 2 which isn't communicating. Node 2 doesn't show anything in it's own diagnostics bits, they're all 0. There's automatic datalink table used, other logics have manual datalink setting but I assume it shouldn't affect? If I disconnect the node from physical network should INS led still be lit if I reset the CLK card with DM6400 bits 14 and 15 and boot? And should I have datalink startup bit turned off on all plcs or node 2 when I try to startup? I suspect I am doing something wrong in some stupid way but as stupid as I am I can't figure out what or then CLK card is just broken (it should be brand new card) in a way it doesn't start at all.
