I would agree that Implicit would be best. If you must perform an Explicit message, I would suggest using the CIPUCMMSend instruction. You wont need to use the CIPOpen or CIPClose.

I've never connected a GOT to Omron before and I don't know much about the GOTs.  From the Omron PLC side, default serial parameters are 9600, 7, E, 2. If you change any settings, make sure to cycle the power to the PLC.

The problem with the AVG instruction is it collects samples based on PLC scan time. In many cases, this is too fast to do proper averaging for a live signal. Using a timer does not work because every time the AVG instruction turns OFF then ON again, it starts over from the beginning. So, you are correct, it's the wrong instruction for this purpose.  This is a rookie question but you don't have to be sorry for it. There are many here that are willing to help out.  I'm not sure any PLC manufacturer has the perfect instruction for this so most programmers will do it with simple math. Collect and store x amount of samples, add them together and divide by x. Use a timer to collect your samples and play around with the sample time. Obviously, the longer the sample time, the longer your analog update time. There are other methods using simple math so have a look at this search and don't be afraid to look at other PLC manufacturers.  smooth analog signal site:forums.mrplc.com - Google Search  

I'm Mr. Walsh will reply but in the meantime, I remember someone having issues when using a subnet outside of the typical 255.255.255.0 range. I don't know this is the same issue but see this post: CJ2M Ethernet IP error F3 - Omron - Forums.MrPLC.com  

Once you are connected, you'll need to perform the backup. I don't remember if the PLC Backup Tool works with the older PLCs but you can try. Tools > PLC Backup Tool. The alternative (or both if you wish), is to upload the program via PLC > Transfer > From PLC... You may check all the boxes but the following will supersede: Double click Memory from the project tree then open DM, HR and AR. Perform a Transfer From PLC. Be sure to check all (or entire range, or something like that). Then make sure to Save in Project. The above memory locations are retentive memory. DM will contain very important information on the PLC settings, I/O configuration and special I/O unit setup if any exists. In addition, any of the locations may contain settings that could be important to the specific machine or process.

You can register on Omron's website and receive it via email but it may be faster and easier to call technical support. They have provided me with temporary links in the past.

Use "=L(301)". CX Programmer and Omron PLCs are very flexible but you must be mindful of your data types. Apples to apples.

We had this issue years ago. I would have to think it's an issue with the NA5. At the time I put an unlatch instruction for all the push buttons after triggering a one shot. This won't work for any momentary actions you require obviously. It may have been an issue with an earlier firmware because I haven't seen the problem in quite a while. I also remember this being a known issue in an earlier version of Wonderware Intouch.

I don't know much about Citect or its drivers but... Does Citect have a Host Link driver? Typically the FINS driver is for Ethernet communications. Since you have a serial port, I would use Host Link if it is available. You can perform FINS inside Host Link commands but I don't think you can perform Host Link inside FINS. Again, I could be wrong.

I would not think you will be able to do that. The obvious question is, why not upgrade Sysmac Studio? Please note, Sysmac Studio will not upgrade the controller version automatically. Open the project, right click on the controller then chose Change Controller. You can see the controller version is unchanged. You may also upgrade if necessary.

Like BobLfoot, we maintain our own equipment and require access to all code and logic.  In design reviews, we have encountered many OEMs that use Beckoff or B&R. These devices seem to be centered around proprietary systems.

Click the link above. It still works.

CP1W-CIF41 Option Module. Please note the CP1L nor the CP1E can be a FINS Master.

I was unaware the EEPROMs could be replaced so easily.  Take note you will need to get a hand-held programmer to input any timer / counter values that will be lost. Do you have a print out of the program?

 

We had a similar issue with the retained data but no fatal error on an NJ501. Sorry I don't have an answer for you but want to share this similar experience.  - Machine was powered off for 3 days prior to the incident. Happened on power up. Battery is good. Additionally, the battery is only for the Time/Date.  - There was a large time/date gap in the error log. (Months). No abnormal PLC errors. We don't know if the time was changed but suspect it wasn't since there is no method to do it remotely. - Techs found a shorted sensor. Not sure if that had anything to do with it since this is a common issue with our machine due to the physical motion. - We were able to restore our memory from a file. I would highly suggest you perform a memory backup. Tools > Backup > Backup Variables and Memory.   We were going to contact Omron about the issue but we couldn't find enough information to develop questions. 

We are referring to Execution Time or PLC Scan Time. This is the time it takes the PLC to run the program one time and is very, very fast. We mis-understood you. What you want is an Accumulation Timer to measure the amount of time your motor is ON. 

Beckhoff is the hardware used on your machine. You'll need to contact the builder of the machine for specific information.
