Ok now i'm looking for activeX control for Omron PLC. I haave some problems with PMCR's.. http://forums.mrplc.com/index.php?showtopic=18242&st=0&gopid=117850entry117850

Hi, i installed this ActiveX control but i cant find the CSCJ ActiveX Toolbox ! (mentionned in Readme File) Where can i find it, and do you have simple VB examples of using this ActiveX Control for Serial connection ? Also, i find this file a little confusing because the name of the file is CSCJCPSerialActiveXControl_Version_2.0 but then in Read Me file it talks about OmronCSCJEthernetControl.cab thanks !

Finally, i think i only need CX-Server Lite.. But maybe some cheaper software can replace it for the simple use i need.

It's not just an idea that i launch to someone and say "hey I'd like to have this. just do it." that's why i'm gathering a maximum of information (here, on google and on our software or hardware documentations, also at phone with Omron Support) before sending a requirements doc to my developper. I hope it won't take 50-500 hours ! I'll tell you

"Thanks, that gave me a good chuckle." You're too much focused on your products which are probably good replacement solutions for long development but that's not what i need!! maybe you didn't read carefully what i really need ! Sorry for that but please don't despise me just because i don't need your software ;)

Thank you very much :) I wil make that cable tomorrow.. I now need a VB programmer to review those thing, i have one available.. but if you know a freelance VB developper with PLC knowledge, i'd be interested to get in touch with him for a proposal. Thanks

I was hoping it would be 5-10 hours of development maximum. What we need is only to read words and then store them in a text file on the computer. So i just need a VB script that launch at startup and "check" for new alerts.Then we'll have some history of what's happening that we could grab with a usb key. For instance we'll store some alerts, when a specific bit is set, we store a word that give us information about where the problem happen. We don't want to develop a software! For that we use cx-supervisor. My english is confusing, but it's not a "personal project" with my own money.. It's some need for an industrial client, and we have to store some datas for 4 plcs, one have a screen with cx-supervisor on it, but we can't afford a license for the 3 others plc that only need little data storing - or if we can't do it without a supervisor license, we won't do it on those 3 other plcs because it would be too expensive for only that. and it's only alert history. I just installed the ActiveX control but i can't install "Omron CSCJCP Serial ActiveX.CAB" Also, is the demo project in the pdf documentation ? thanks!

Hi Mark, i'm not confident how to use your softwares ? Anyway i'm looking for something more open and free.. thank you Michael, i thing my PLc already have a port serie : Do i still need to get a CP1W-CIF01 ? With this activeX component, i can develop a VB software that will permanently listen to a PLC and live "grab" some datas (words to store on bit 1) every minutes ? I'm asking because i will pay someone to develop this, i'm not a VB developer. Thanks!

Hi, i'd like to find some ressources/help about monitoring a CP1E Omron PLC on Windows or Linux. I know how to do this with the use of CX-Supervisor on our main station, but i'd like to store some informations from another PLCs which are not connected to a CX-Supervisor license. Main reason is of course the price of the license because we need to store very few informations (weight and hour/date of 200 bags per day) on 2 or 3 different machine/PLCs.(one PLC per machine). And we don't need supervisor for each of those machines. So i want to know if there is a way to develop our own code to monitor the PLC and store some information with the help of bits and words. Maybe connecting with VB or Java, or something else. It would be something running in the background, and storing datas(words) when some bits are activated.. Maybe with Modbus protocol ? If you have some links to help me find some more informations :) Thanks
