IO_Rack

I doubt this feature will be added to the NB. The NA5 will do this and much more.

Nice! Thank you for your results. I was actually wanting to try this myself as a home project on a Raspberry Pi. I'm glad to see others have success with it.

Do you know the IP address of the CP1L-E? Do you have CX Programmer? I have not tried using the software in the link I provided. The user in the link had success. Also the author has provided his email address. 

I was unaware the CP1L-E was capable of Socket Services. This is an option. Since you are using Python, have a look at the link below.  https://forums.mrplc.com/index.php?/topic/39456-omron-plc-cs-cj2-read-write-data-over-python/

I'm not familiar with OpenCV or Python but I would have to believe the communications will be much more efficient exchanging Bytes or Words. I would dedicate a Word to the Booleans you wish to exchange.  For reading and writing you would need to perform Logical operations on the Word to extract the Boolean. The CP1L has advanced instructions for this but with Python you'll likely have to do it discretely.

1)  Call Omron with proof of ownership. They can unlock it. 2)  Write a new program and perform a Download. Any other discussion about bypassing passwords is prohibited in these forums.

I'm not aware of a nibble data type per the IEC 61131-3 standard. If you need the upper nibble of a Byte, you could create a function to shift the bits 4 places to the right.

The RS232C port is not a standard pin out. Did you replace with the proper cable?

They make these pin outs complex because they support many useful functions and protocols. It's not much different than other PLC manufacturer. The cable diagrams are documented in detail and can be made easily and inexpensive.

Not that I'm aware of. It may be a good idea to check that it is Not Active.

Alternatively, you could rotate your graphic x degrees in a graphics program (like MSPaint 3D, Corel or PhotoShop). Save it then use them both directly on top of each other. Use the visibility to alternate them. They will appear to rotate if you adjust your graphics properly. 

1) Contact the manufacturer of the equipment. 2) If you own the equipment and the rights to the program. (Written proof), then Omron should be able to help you get it unlocked. Those are your options.

It does exist. What controller are you using? What is the Keyence device? Is this EtherNet/IP?

Are you able to put the NT11S into 'Transmit Mode'? Do your serial port parameters match?

Have a look at "AryByteTo" instruction.

This post is very detailed. What are you having trouble with?

This will not be quick and easy. I would suggest contacting your local Omron distributor. Maybe they can suggest a system integrator. DeviceNet can be very sensitive to supply voltage. Make sure you have good voltage at the DN remote node connections. You may want to use a dedicated 24VDC supply for DeviceNet only.

The Omron CS1W-CIF31 is simply an RS232C to USB converter. You'll need the above cable that you can make yourself to connect to the RS232C (9-Pin) port on the PLC. The diagram states, "RS-232C Option Board", but all Omron Host Link cables are the same... with the exception of some very, very old models. The CQM1-CIF02 is for connecting to the PLC via the Peripheral Port.

It's been well over a year since this post was started. The poster only has 1 post. I doubt he's coming back. Try starting a new post describing what you want to do, what you have done and what you are having trouble with. Details will lead to better answers.

  Did you see this post by Michael Walsh? What does your timer look like in ladder?

Glad you got it working. Nice job! Posting your results could be helpful for other forum members if you have the time.

The forums have been having issues with this. Try using a different browser or host the program from Google, Dropbox or some other hosting site. As far as the end statements, older software packages like Omron CPT used to transfer programs in their entirety. Meaning, it would transfer bad code (garbage) past the END statement. This caused CX Programmer to find all the issues because it will not compile with these problems. It's possible (and only possible) that you could delete everything past the first END statement if this is the case.  Just going to throw this out there... Is this only one machine or do you have several that are the same? I ask because a lot of machines during this period had PLC replaced from CQM1 to CQM1H. These PLCs are very different even though the part numbers look similar. The instruction set was changed. The "H" is the newer instruction set.

Can you post your program? In the CQM1* days, there was some minor issues with software packages and compiling. Do you have an END instruction somewhere prior to the actual end of the program?

I'm making an assumption here.... You have downloaded the program to your PLC but the data is missing. This is normal with the very old Omron PLCs. You will have to input values to the necessary memory locations. What are you using to program the PLC?
