gruntstripe, You are correct. The CPU mount host link or the port expander connects to the 48 pin horizontal connector. The other connector you are referring to is called the Peripheral Port and is for the C200H-PRO27 handheld programmer. The PRO27 has a cable (C200H-CN222) that will plug into that connector. The C200H will also allow the use of the PRO15 "handheld" programmer, it goes into the 48 pin horizontal connector, just like the host link. One word of caution. Do NOT try to use a cable or adapter for the computer into the Peripheral Port. The cable is a CQM1-CIF02, the adapter is a CPM1-CIF01. These devices will plug in, but will not work and may damage your CPU! These are designed to work with newer units, the peripheral port was upgraded in newer hardware. Hope this will help!

Syswin does support the entire C200H family (C200H, C200HS, and C200H alpha products). You will need a cable with a 25 pin end for the host link. 9 pin port is only on "built in" comm ports.

Sorry OdinPT, but I think we are back to the language thing again Let me see if I understand. You already know if the part entering the carpet on the right is good or bad. If the part is good, when S1 is activated the carpet will start and you should see a signal at LS1, then at LS2. If the part is bad, when S1 is activated the carpet will start, you will see a signal at LS1, but will not see a signal at LS2, because the Rejection Arm should have removed the part. Also what do you mean by validation? You need to confirm that the correct sequence actually happened. Is this what should happen? Sorry to not understand your original post.

Based on the "typical" CPM1 scan, it would probably only be on for 1 - 2 ms. If the unit has relay outputs, you may never see the actual output turn on (relay pickup time). Will this work for your application? If not, you will probably need another holding circuit with another timer to maintain the output for the desired time value. The above sample could till grab the next pulse and begin the delay during the holding time on the second timer. Hope this makes sense. And I hope it will help.

Based on the sample circuit, the problem with using the timer to reset the circuit is that the "output" would only be on for 1 scan (pulse). How long do you need the output (10.00 in sample) to stay on?

If you have an open slot in the backplane, you can use a C200H-LK201-V1. If not, and the cpu's are C200H (not C200HS, C200HE, C200HG or C200HX) you can mount a "cpu mount" host link to the long horizontal connector on the cpu, part number 3G2A6-LK201-EV1. You may need a port extender C200H-BP001 or C200H-BP002. Both host link numbers show as "stock" parts in the US. Port extender does not show in the price list. Note that the C200H and C200HS cpus are discontinued and no longer available. Hope this will help.

Chris is thinking of the C200H-BP001 or C200H-BP002. This is a port extender. It allows the use of a "cpu" mounted host link or PRO15 programmer if there are 12 or 16 point modules mounted in either of the two slots immediately to the left of the cpu. Hope this will help.

That would sure do it! Good job figuring that out. Glad it is working.

I tried your program (had to modify dm for CPM2A) and the average works. I used the scan time AR15 for the variable value and added a large XFER instruction to vary the scan time. You are getting a value on 234, correct. I am guessing that is the analog value of the sensor on the Inner Board. Can you see the values in DM2000 - DM2063? Processor is in Run or Monitor Mode? Not sure where else to have you check.

It refers to the number of pulses, or number of times the instruction is executed, not the number of plc scans. Also, per the manual, the Source word must be in Hex. You may need to use the raw value instead of the scaled value for the source, then scale the result (D) word value for display. However I am not sure if this is the problem. Hope this will help.

This instruction must be "pulsed" to enter the values to be averaged. The P_On contact will not allow that to happen. Try one of the pulse bits.

Great!! Glad you got it working. The "tip off" to the problem was in your pdf file. There was no function number on the MAX instruction. Without the "picture" we would probably still been chasing this. Let us know if you have any other questions.

In CX-Programmer, I'll bet the MAX is RED? The MAX instruction is an expansion instruction. You must map it to an instruction / function number. In the left frame is an Expansion Instructions choice, click on it, then Remove an unused instruction and set that number to the MAX instruction. I think things will start working after you do that and download the program to the processor.

Weld_Man, The right most three digits of the control word MUST be BCD. Try changing it to DM0002 to #C990 and see what happens.

Glad I could help!

Have you tried this link in the download section? NT System Installer at Mr.PLC.com Hope this will help. Looks like the hyperlink function is not working. Copy and paste the url into your browser, or go to the download code section, Omron, Utilites section and download the NT System Installer.

Ok, I think I understand. When you turn on the carpet, you are powering up the plc. Normally the plc should start up in the same mode (Run, Monitor, Program) as when it powered down. But, if there is a "programming device" connected to the peripheral port, it may startup in Program mode (Run light off). With CX-Programmer, go into the Settings. The first dialog box should show a "Startup Mode" selection (toward the left of the box). If it is currently set for "Programming device", change the setting to Monitor. Now download to the plc, and make sure you check the Settings box. Then you will need to power the plc down, power back up and you should be set. The settings DO NOT change until you power down and back up. Hope this will help.

I am not sure I understand your question. Do you mean change the PLC mode to Run mode from either Program or Monitor? I am sure this requires a programming device. If you mean to enable your logic program to start functioning, you may be able to use the First Scan Flag (253.15 in the CPM1A), if the processor is set to Monitor or Run mode. Not sure if I answered your question. Hope this will help.

The control word defines how the instruction will work and the number of words in the range. Bit 15 on means the values in the range are signed binary values, if off normal binary values. Bit 14 on indicates Max value memory location will be output to destination word + 1. Bits 11 - 0 in BCD define the size of the range (0-999). You will need to execute two different MAX instruction to cover the 1200 registers you want for your range. You are correct, there is no background execution in the C200HE. Hope this will help.

You are right about the English (LOL). Thank you for trying this again. Could you use a timer, started by the shift bit (0.04). If you do not see the photoeye by the time the timer is complete, you would know that there is no product at that station. Another possibility. Set up a second shift register function. This time, instead of tracking an error (0.03) just track part is present/no part present. Then use these bits for comparison. Or maybe a combination of the two? Just some thoughts, hope this will help. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

OdinPT, I am not sure I am understanding your question. By "Shift Position" do you mean input 0.04 (from your program yesterday), or do you mean a specific bit in the shift register? I think you are correct in thinking it is a programming issue. I am sorry that I do not understand your question. It appears that you are referring to a "timing" issue about the signals, but I would need more information to be of any help. I know this can be difficult to explain to another person! Please hang in there!

Ok, so the shift register is working? You can see the value of HR10 change? Just output 10.00 is not turning on? Does the "coil" so turning on in CX-Programmer? But no led on the cpu? Have you tried using a different output, like 10.02?

Thanks Sleepy, I was testing on a CPM2 and forgot the addressing difference.

It could be an issue with the InTouch software. Some HMI/SCADA packages use the C-series Host Link driver information instead of the CS/CJ series drivers. Internal memory configurations are different and some areas in the CS1 can not be read. Don't know for sure, but perhaps this is the issue.

It could be an electrical/electronic failure, I can not tell you for sure. Did you try to force the bits using CX-Programmer? This could help to determine if it is an input problem or something else.
