BITS N BYTES

Select "View" and in pulldown "Memory_View".

Set the Task Properties as a Cyclic task but with Operation start unchecked. Then only call the task from your main program with a oneshot [rising edge bit] to trigger a TKON instruction. At the very last rung of the called task place use LD CF113 [always on] followed by a TKOF. Task will only run once when called from main program. Picture shows Cyclic Task 01 with Operation Start unchecked.  

Congrats mate! You didn't give up. Can you enlighten us how you got it working after initial problems?

Always good to get updates from forum posters. Keep plugging away and good luck mate!

Don't give up so quick. One of these [or similar product] would easily solve your problem. https://www.asi-ez.com/member/~XNPNPNP.asp?

Looking at the RP input in the MX2 schematic it would appear that it only accepts a Sinking input signal. To work with a CP1L-EL it must have Sinking Transistor outputs i.e. CL1L-EM**DT-D Providing you have a Sinking Transistor model, you have wiring correct between PLC output and MX2 and high speed output is pulsing you should be able to monitor this signal on the MX2.  

Those instructions are typicallu used for positioing. If you are just controlling speed use a combination of Continuous Mode [Speed Control] instructions SPED, ACC and INI. See Section 7-2-4 in manual W516. Pin RP = Pulse input on MX2

Use standard outputs from the PLC for Start/Stop/Reverse signals to the MX2. Use a High speed pulse train output from the PLC to the RP Pulse Input on the MX2 to control speed.

St Patrick's Day and copious amounts of Guinness must have fuddled your brain! Sober up and try working it out for yourself. We are here to help those that help themselves. OTHERWISE send me $25 per step of code. Approx $25K total and I'll do it for you!!

AND read this article. Though written for a CJ1M the principles are similar to your model. http://forums.mrplc.com/index.php?/files/file/268-cj1m-motion-and-interupts-quickstart/

DIPSWITCHES ON SW4 or SW5??

This isn't an AB test of how they DO THINGS. Rather OMRON has a unique [yet different approach]. IMHO much easier to use. For example:- A simple oneshot up differentiation condition requires NO stupid extra bits to manage, just a change in the examination of the bit with an upward symbol.

Try setting the PLC properties to "Execute_Timer/Counter as Binary". You must first send new settings to PLC and then perform power cycle.

Hint!! If you need to initialize D memory values at power up it is much simpler to define a TASK that runs once on first scan to write necessary values to D memory. So each time PLC is powered up the required values are initialized. Create a new task named FIRST_SCAN. I would suggest Cyclic Task 00 (Startup). The last instruction of this task should use the always ON flag CF113 followed by TKOF 0. Everything in this task will then be written to desired memory only once. So stop messing with LCD board and use tasks to initiate values you need in your program.
