In the example, D200 is the Set Value that you define. You are correct that it should be #14400. Take note to the preceding "#". This denotes a BCD value. Here is an example using the memory locations from the instruction help. I've set the SV to 10 seconds with the MOVL instruction.

To record your event, register the tag or address in PT > Alarm/Event Setting... To view a current Alarm or Event, use Functional Objects > Alarm/Event Display. To view the history, use Functional Objects > Alarm/Event Summary & History.

It appears you are not able to. If you can program the PLC then add a separate address there.

I've added this document to the downloads section.  

CJ2M Built-in Ethernet connected to NS by FINS View File The title is self explanatory. The exact settings are for the CJ2M but any FINS capable PLC Ethernet port will work. CX Integrator is required. Submitter IO_Rack Submitted 06/13/17 Category Tech and Application Notes

I believe your co-worker was confused about what he saw. AB does have a PCMCIA interface for DH+. Part number is 1784-PCMK.

Don't be embarrassed, this is a confusing setup. In the link above I have posted a document with step by step instructions from Omron.

I do not believe that is possible in the CJ1M. It is possible in the CJ2 processors. You'll have to MOV the DM value to CIO memory or H memory if you would like it to be retentive. Then you'll be able to access the bit level.

I believe this is the case. I had this happen when watching a very large multi-dimension Structure. It's fine when I first created it but if I go offline then back online it will take some time to initialize.

I've never used a Bluetooth device but I do know the default setting for the SCU21 is Host Link mode. I don't believe it is capable of Toolbus. If you are just trying to connect CX Programmer then change your communications settings to Sysmac Way, 9600, 7, E, 2.

Sorry, this is not the document I thought it was. There is a document that shows explicit messaging where AB is doing the messaging. I can't seem to find it at the moment. Here is one that demonstrates Implicit Messaging. http://forums.mrplc.com/index.php?/files/file/881-omron-cj2-to-rockwell-controllogix-ethernetip-datalink/ I haven't tried this one.

Are you referring to this document? http://forums.mrplc.com/index.php?/files/file/934-omron-to-ab-ethernetip-explicit-messaging/ This does work. An EDS file is not necessary. This is an Explicit Messaging example.

The CQM1 series and CJ series are different hardware platforms. They are not interchangeable.  

Yes, I believe that is correct. Have you tried it in the simulator?

Pardon the interruption. I was preparing to contact Rockwell support for the best solution on this very issue. Thanks Ken!

Name                        Data Type                                                 Initial Value var_a         ARRAY[0..2] OF STRING[20]         ['hello world 1', 'hello world 2', 'hello world 3']    If you input STRING[20][3] in the Data Type field it will convert it automatically to look like the above. You don't have to populate the Initial Value field. You can write to it at runtime.

Unfortunately, the CP1L nor the NS5 are Ethernet/IP capable. This setup would have been much easier and doesn't require CX Integrator. Glad to hear it's working. Thanks for posting the solution.

This is very similar to Michael's post. It's a step by step procedure I got from Omron Technical Support. This example uses a CJ2 but the Ethernet settings should be the same. CJ2M Built-in Ethernet connected to NS by FINS_edited.doc

If you want to perform math and comparisons on the data then you'll need to convert it to a number. First have a look at the Text String Processing instructions. There are various instructions to extract only the numeric characters from your string. Which you use will depend on what your sting looks like. (MID$, LEFT$, RGHT$). If you know the character you are looking for then use the FIND$ instruction. FIND$ will return the index number. Next use the NUM instruction to convert it to a number.

I don't remember the file extensions but you can try this. http://forums.mrplc.com/index.php?/files/file/93-ntss233/ I thought NTST had a conversion utility for programs saved in NTSS. I haven't used it in quite some time.

I've not used the Phoenix or Bosch but I would also recommend Keyence IP Setting Tool. I've had great success using it. Here is a link. You may have to register. Keyence IP Setting Tool

CQM1H/CQM1 Series Dedicated I/O Units See page 118 for an explanation of the Digital to Analog relationship. See page 123 for programming examples using both the SCL3 instruction and APR instruction. I would be tempted to use the SCL3 but that is a preference. Pay close attention to references to BCD and Binary (Omron's reference to Binary means that you should monitor it in Decimal because it is not BCD). Your DA021 card will require #0000 - #07FF Hex which is equivalent to &0000 - &2047 Decimal. See if that helps you along. Please post back if you have more questions.

I believe I may have given you wrong information in your other thread concerning the Start Code and End Code. I apologize. I believe the End Code is what the port is looking for from the receive in order to trigger the A392.14 flag. I would review the TXD/RXD instruction manual to be sure. I'm not sure if it will make any difference but some of the examples I've seen use @TXD instead of TXD. Using the @ will execute the instruction for one PLC scan on the rising edge only.

Changing the data type does not change the way the PLC will operate on it or transmit it. I took a brief look at your manual again and it looks like it wants integers. If you want to send it a decimal 10, then monitoring in Decimal will look like &0010, monitoring in Hex will look like #000A. One of their examples was setting the set point to 25.0. Decimal &0250, Hex #00FA. I hope that doesn't confuse matters.
