Pending information I'm unaware of, the button with Level 5 security would be disabled before login. It would become enabled upon Login(). I do this with a separate button. Use a normal button then go to the Events and Actions tab and set the "Click" event to Login(). This will show the login prompt. You can additionally display the current logged on user via a Data Edit object. Set it for Text then use "_HMI_CurrentUserName" in the Expression.

I think we still have a keyboard buried in a cabinet somewhere.

I don't know the drive (variator) that you are working with but typically you could select set speeds by digital inputs (PLC outputs). This would not be incremental / decremental but may get you want you want depending on how many speeds you need. Alternatively, to do what I think you are looking for, you would need an analog signal. The analog output module you require would depend on the type of analog input the drive has available.

Both the CQM1-CPU41 and the CJ1M do not have built-in Outputs. So, the output module Word on the CQM1 will be 100. For example, if you are using output 4, the address will be 100.04. The CJ1M will be addressed differently.

Can you post the *.cxp file? Or post screen shots with detailed questions. What is Speed Variator? (Analog output? Pulse output?). What is the CPU type?

This fix looks like the one you need. I have not experienced this issue myself. This is all I know about it. 

You are cross posting and it's a bit confusing. Ignore this link and see the link posted by Sleepy Wombat in the other thread.

NT Support Tool 4.87E - Omron - Forums.MrPLC.com This is the link that fixed the original poster's issue. The link was broken some time ago.

https://www.myomron.com//downloads/4.Products/Software/HMI-Software/NT%20Software/NTST/NTST487E.zip This is the latest version. There are older versions at this site in the downloads section.

If I'm not mistaken, the mmi file is for the much older DOS software. Isn't there a conversion utility in the NTST folder? Alternatively, you could try to get the DOS software to work somehow. NTSS233 - Demo Software - Forums.MrPLC.com

Ctrl + Enter for static text but you probably knew that. I'm guessing you would like to control where a String tag will start a new line? It appears, the multi-line will be automatic depending on the size of the String Input Enable object. 

I didn't look at the file you provided but I must ask, are these values accurate? Do you have the dimensions of the product? Can you multiply the length * width then multiply by the number of pieces? 

I don't have the Mitsubishi software handy to show an example but I'll explain. The counter's value can be a static value that once programmed, it will never change. If you use a D register for the value, then the set time can be adjusted, or changed. For example, from an HMI. 

Great work! Thank you for posting your results.

Function Blocks are used to create reusable Ladder or Structured Text. You can program them to do anything you want. You'll need to be more specific about "Inhibits machine operation".

The CIF41 will communicate via FINS. Use the link above for an example. This will work since the CJ2M supports FINS protocol. The EIP61will communicate via FINS or EtherNet/IP (Industrial Protocol). This will also work since the CJ2M supports EtherNet/IP but it is not necessary. This would be useful to communicate with a non-Omron PLC that does not support FINS.

Network Configurator would be used for EtherNet/IP. The CP1H would need the CP1W-EIP61 installed to communicate EtherNet/IP.  Omron's native Ethernet protocol is FINS. This is possible with any of Omron's Ethernet ports. FINS Ethernet Master / Slave Solution - PLC Sample Code - Forums.MrPLC.com

I'm sorry I haven't used Mitsubishi software for EIP connections and I haven't used the PLC programming software in a long time. You should be able to find the settings that match the examples they have for KV and Rockwell PLCs. Somewhere in the configuration it may refer to Tag Sets. The Tag Sets may contain an address that you provide. The addresses you use will be the Input and Output data that you access. Referencing the Field Network manual, it will be similar to the KV settings section, step 4. The commenting in the KV series is somewhat automatic for obvious reasons.  The most important thing about getting any EIP device connected, is getting the Input and Output data sizes correct for the specified Assembly Instance. Referencing the screenshot below, if your Input is D100 then your input data will be D100 through D196. They maybe start at D200 for Output (D200 through D205). 

From a PM: All the files and instructions are contained within CX Designer program installation. The hard part is finding a CF card that will work with this operation. Note, any CF card formatted in Windows of any version will render the CF card useless in an NS screen. Your best bet is to purchase one from Omron and never, ever, ever format it. The format needs to be FAT16. Any version of Windows can do this but it doesn't work. I've tried formatting in several different programs, devices and even an Omron PLC but it still does not work. If anyone has uncovered this mystery, please share.

It's possible but I wouldn't suggest it. It can be a very daunting task. You would have to understand the State Machine of the EtherCat Motion, Modes of Operation, etc.... You would not be able to use the EtherCat Motion instructions. 

For the NV, go to PT > NV Configuration and look at the Word Area. The first Word in the field is the PLC address for the screen number.

That is not an Omron product and I haven't used one of those in quite some time. Assuming you want to connect to an Omron PLC (C series, CP/CJ) then you'll need to see if the HMI supports Omron FINS protocol for an Ethernet connection. Connecting multiple HMIs shouldn't be problem as long as each device has a unique IP address. FINS node will be the last octet in the IP address. No PLC setup should be necessary. You'll just need to know the IP / FINS node. Note, you may see a Host Link protocol available. This is for RS232C/RS422 connections.

Install the EDS file. Create Tag Sets to match the IV Inputs and Outputs sizes. Register the device (IV). Download to PLC. Where are you having issues?

In my opinion, Keyence has always struggled with field bus and are usually late to the game. I will also note that Keyence measurement products perform exceptionally well.... just the fieldbus can be a pain. In Sysmac Studio the EtherCat configuration screen shows a diagram of all this very clearly, including the couplers and its branches. This is one of my favorite features in the software. In all of our distribution and configuration with today's technology, Omron makes EtherCat very simple. Getting compliant ESI files has been my only struggle.

Your suspicions are correct concerning the right-side end cover. This is required to terminate the I/O bus. I don't believe the missing modules are an issue since the CQM1H does not have an I/O table.  When you turned on DIP SW 5, the serial port settings change to Omron default (9600, 7, E, 2). If you double click the settings in the project tree, look under the Host Link Port tab. You'll see they are probably different. When you downloaded the program you changed the serial settings and lost connection. If you need (or wish) to use the downloaded settings with DIP SW 5 OFF, then double click the PLC in the project tree, click Settings under Network Type, Driver tab, then change this to match the new settings.
