  1. NT11 string display problems

    Lets see if i can explain... First you need to move to D402 the table entry no. of your display object. and then move to D401 the table entry no. of the text you want to show. So while designing your screen after placing the string display object you need to set him in the string table... i.e. to entry 0 Then you go to another entry in the table (i.e. entry 3) and in value type a string... to display that string, what need to do is something like this: string_display.bmp It worked for me.. hope it helps.. Best regards
  2. STUP(237)

    Hello everyone, I'm also trying to use STUP because at some point e need to disable Start and End Code to send an ACK. Im using a CP1L M type. I think i'm doing something wrong because my "settings changing flag" doesnt change. What i'm doing is to fill D150 to D155 acording to the pdf posted here and than i use STUP with C= #0200 (Port 2) and S = D150. Is this correct? My default settings are D150 = 16#830E (Custom, No-Protocol, 8N1) D151 = 16#0000 (9600bps) D152 = 16#0000 D153 = 16#0000 D154 = 16#0203 (STX,ETX) D155 = 16#1100 (STX and ETX enabled) So to disable i just change D155 = 0001 (1 byte to send the ACK). Am i thinking wrong? i also wonder if instead of 10Hex in Parity is 2Hex since we only have 2 bits (160.0 and 160.1) Best regards...
  3. Hostlink Protocol

    Better, but not good... I really cant understand whats happening. The telegram i respresented above is converted to ascii so it would be something like 02 54 30 31 30 30 31 30 31 31 30 30 30 31 30 35 03. when i turn DIP SW5 on i cant get any data, same occurs with STX and ETX enabled (start code 0x0002 and end code 0x0003). Turning it off, and setting i.e. to receive 24bytes in the PLC settings i can see the number of bytes of the telegram increase at A393 but for some reason they dont get stored at D3000. Usually only 1 or 2 bytes. If anyone has an idea, please...... Probably i'll be away next week but i'll try to keep in touch. thanks for all your help so far. take care.
  4. Hostlink Protocol

    Thank you, i'll try that and get back to you as soon as i try it. The plc is a CP1L M30, using the port 2 for comunication. the start and end code are STX and ETX (ASCII 02 and 03), not sure if when i use this values in the settings it assumes that i'm referring to the ascii code. But i'll let u know when i have some results. Best regards.
  5. Hostlink Protocol

    Thank you.. I dont have VB here but i'll take a look when i get home. Another thing about communications with the plc.. I tried to setup Port 2 with RS-232C Mode, baud 9600, 8 data bits, one stop bit, no parity (8,1,N) and 02h as start code and 03 as end code(at PLC settings menu of CX-Programer). Used the RXD with 1st word at d3000, control word #0000 and #FF as number of bytes. My activation condition is A396.06, that i saw in the "W451-E1-03+CP1_-CPU+ProgManual" as being the Receive Ready but for some reason i cant get the data i'm sending from a PC in D3000. Anyone has an idea of what might be? maybe the cable? i used this one http://www.tryplc.com/Picture/Pic%20Artica...k%20RS-232C.jpg thank you in advance! best regards
  6. Hostlink Protocol

    Hello all, I need to integrate in a VC++ aplication accesses to DM areas of an Omron PLC. I know that its possible to do that using Hostlink but i cant find the algorithm to generate the telegram to send via rs232. I was wondering if anyone can help me with this issue. TY for your time. Best regards
  7. Saia-Burgess

    Hello, I was wondering if anyone has worked with Saia-Burgess PLCs before. I wanted to know some opinions about their products, specially about the software they use for programming and monitoring the PLCs. Best regards.
  8. NTST & NT11

    Thank you very much atanas. For some reason i thought i had to set memory addresses and i guess that was messing with it. Anyway its working now! Once again tks!
  9. NTST & NT11

    Hello, I'm working with NT11 for the first time and i'm finding some issues while trying to display strings in a screen. My PT Configurations are Control Area D0030, Notify Area D0040 and PT Model NT11-V1. I'm using screens from 100 to 105. What i want is to add some strings into screen 105 where i can change them and display the status of some devices showing "OK" or "Error" message in them. I tried to follow the example given in "V029-E1-02_NT11S-Operation_Manual" Section 5-2 p.116 but i must be missing something cause my strings are always empty. If anyone can help me... Thank you for your time.
