    I need to use a S7 1214 PLC and connect to two different IP-addresses.
    The PLC will be connected to three other 1200 systems on "network 1" collecting data on a Profinet "machine network".
    Customers DCS is collecting data from the 1214 PLC via Modbus TCP on a separate IP-address.
    Can I use a CP 1243-1 communication module for the second network or is there a better one?

    Regards

    PLC - FX5U

    Software - GX Worx 3 (latest ver)

    I'm currently working on a program where I use a lot of advanced calculations supplied by the customer.

    He would like to protect his calculations in the software, hence the following question.

    Is it possible to crack the password if i protect the program blocks ?

    Kind of stupid question since most things are possible, what I'm really after is: How safe is it, can it be cracked easily ?

    I found the Deif415 (15") panel easy to use and it comes with Windows or Linux installed.
    We use the Linux version of the panel.

    Up to five users can be connected at the same time with VNC, no license needed. Three ethernet ports.
    The Deif panel is a branded Exor panel.
    We decided to buy from Deif since they are easy to do business with and gives good support.
    It's not easy to describe the advantages over the GOT, but after a while you'll find the GOT a bit "old and square".
    Our largest customer used a 6,5" panel earlier, but has now realized that the HMI is the face of the machine, and a beautiful face easily opens locked doors.
    He won't accept anything smaller than 15" now.

    Have a look at Exor or Deif

    I have the same E-Designer version as you and it runs on a Windows 7 Pro 64 bit machine.

    Generally is everything working as intended, but sometimes can't I open the alarms window in the project.

    A reboot is the cure for that most times.

    Also a strange behavior of the cursor as you describe it, but only when I try to edit a previously defined alarm.

    We tried some Beijer iX and x2 panels and also the Mitsubishi GOT series instead of the E-1000 series.

    But finally did we find a panel we liked, it is a Deif 400 series, it's a branded Exor operator panel.

    What are you using to enable the TO function ?

    Is your code similar to this ?

    Contact your Mitsubishi dealer, they should have a converting software they use.

    You have to send them your E1000 project and you receive it converted to GOT format.

    Just be aware that you need to correct some things the converter can't handle.

    Good luck

    I'm running GX IEC Dev on my computer without any problem at all.

    But I had a similar situation what you describe with another programming software.

    That was a Windows update giving me problem.

    Just uninstall the Windows upgrade and it worked again.

    I'm running W7 on my laptop and had some issues lately with some programs due to Windows.

    Latest version of GX Works 3 won't open any project on my laptop, don't know why at the moment but the support is notified.

    RS-232 is a voltage level detected communication with at least three wires (RX, TX and Gnd) between two units, Master <-> Slave, Max distance is 15 meters.

    RS-485 is a current loop simplex communication with normally two wires (A and B) between a master and several (32) slave units, Max distance is 1200 meters.

    RS-422 is similar to RS-485 except here we have four wires (A1, B1 + A2, B2) and the possibility of duplex communication, 10 slave units,  Max distance is 1500 meters.

    Google and you'll find very useful information at wikipedia
