    Hi,

    Anyone knows how to retain PLC program for CQM1 PLC model in the EEPROM? Everytime I power off the PLC, when power on the PLC Program lost and the PLC status is in ERROR(No END Instruction error). Already tried downloading with AR1400 turn on from the CX Programmer software but still no luck.

    Hope someone out there guide me step by step. I'm new to CX Programmer.

    Thanks lot!

    store for example 5 last value from counter

    you have to identify what type of triggering are you referring to.  is it schedule(time-based), value change, etc.

    from there you can manipulate which data you want to store.

    Is there any way that he has a single spare physical panel and without needing WINCC Flexible can he load the same one of the 7 projects?

    1st Step: Get all the runtime file for the 7 HMI's via PC(Simatic ProSave>Backup) or USB which serves as a backup.

    2nd Step: Whenever the spare HMI needs to be installed on a particular machine. Restore from the backup files that you made via PC(Simatic ProSave>Restore) or USB.

    Does the program work correctly after doing this?

    yes, I'm able to simulate inputs and outputs.

    Are you trying to write from PLC to Memory Card or Memory Card to PLC?

    I'm trying to write the program from cx programmer to PLC memory card.

    Just now, IO_Rack said:

    If you are trying to use the Memory Card in place of the battery, I don't believe that will work. You should get a battery.

    I will test tomorrow if the program will not be lost once the battery is connected.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Is this the same problem as the other posts?

    Are you using the Memory Card?

    If so, what happens if you remove the Memory Card then cycle power to the PLC?

     

    HI @IO_Rack

    yes, it was a new problem. the case is this, I'm able to download the program to the plc(forcing ar1400) after clearing the errors(which is no end instruction). after I download it. there is this error 0x00F1 fatal error and AR1612 is on. when Imgoing to change from program to monitor the ar1612 will be removed and the error will be gone(even changing from monitor to program mode). so I'm pretty sure that the program has been transferred to the memory. but when I power cycle the PLC, the whole program will be gone and the "no end instruction" error will show(considering I have no battery in the PLC). is my procedure correct or I missed something?

    Thanks for the reply!

    Hi, It is weird that I'm having a fatal error Memory and AR1612 is ON (program mode)even though there's no error in the compilation of the program. Has anyone experienced this before? When I try to put in the run mode, the Fatal error memory will be lost and AR1612 will be turned OFF. and when I try to go back again in program mode, the errors are not there anymore. Is this usually normal?

    Thanks for the response!

    Looking at the PLC errors No END instruction is fatal. The battery also needs replacing but non fatal - just lose memory if the PLC is turned off.

    Hi BobB, So the PLC program that is downloaded(can monitor even AR1612 is ON in program mode but off in Run mode) will be lost when I turned of the power even it is written in the Memory Card? this made me more confuse now.

    Bear with me.

    Thanks!

    Check that it is not Write Protected. Verify AR1302 is OFF.

    Yes, AR1302 was OFF.  There's this AR1612 ON but when I switch from PROGRAM to RUN mode this error vanished(it's confusing). Other thing is that when I turn off the PLC and ON, the program doesn't retain in the Memory Card even when I forced AR1400 before downloading. then when I try to upload this shows. see image attached. (this is really confusing now)

    I get the same error as you did. I'm sorry I don't know the answer. I know of no other programming packages for the NT31.

    Can you get support from the OEM?

    If not then I would contact Omron Technical Support to see if they can open/convert the file.

     

    Hi regarding the HMI file. The supplier told us that they are using NTST v4.82 and they can open. I have installed the same software version but still, the same error exists. Do you think there's another solution for this? does it need to be converted or there is another procedure for opening the file?

    You should start a new topic for this one. Post the full part number of the PLC including the CPU number. You said you have a CS1D? Are you using the system with 2 PLCs?

    I don't know much about the redundant systems. I see no mention of an EEPROM. I believe it does have a CF card slot.

    Thanks @IO_Rack

    It is a P2P system(1PLC and 1 HMI) and it has a memory card. I created a new topic. here's the link.

    During downloading the program, in order to transfer it should be in a program mode. Now the CPU has no battery so I'm forcing AR14000 to download the program in the EEPROM. but I'm getting a Fatal error Memory Fail. Is my procedure correct or is there another way to download the program into the EEPROM?

    Hardware details:

    1. OMRON CPU: CQM1H-CPU51

    2. OMRON MEMORY: CQM1-ME08K

    If you are able to restore the original project then this will already be done by the original PLC program.

    The address you are referring to is the PT Control Area address. The first WORD in the PT Control Area will control which screen is displayed. The value will be in BCD.

    Yes I'm able to upload the program from the PLC, just want a confirmation if my understanding is correct.

    Yes, That's the step we've done and still waiting for the OEM supplier. They say they can open the file using NTST 4.8 but I'm not sure if it is the correct file that they provided us.

    Hi @IO_Rack

    see attached file. I try to open the sample programs included in the software (.onw and .mmi file extension) and it seems to be working fine and I'm able to download to the HMI. the thing is that only the Backup file which is 1834.onw file is not working and comes with an error. Also, since it was my first doing this omron hmi. I notice in order to load the c\screen in the HMI you have to force some address in the PLC am I correct?(this is based only on the forums and manuals I read).

    Thanks!
