:-8 I do not believe that their is any way around the password. It is implemented to Protect the intellectual property of OEM's, programmers etc. If their was a way around it, it is certainly not going to be publisied. With CX-Programmer though you can clear the memory and download a new program. OR if your company already has a copy of the program then, look at the ladder logic printout for the SYS 49 function, It should be the first line of code. Examine the last parameter of the instruction should look something like #123F, that should be your password.

I can't wait........ Thanks for the feedback Jay.........

Jay, looking around the Omron sites and found this little gem Analog I/O Unit Support Software Model WS02-PUTC1-E I understand this software will enable you to configure analouge cards easily.. Do you have any idea when this will be available ? Why isn't part of CX-Prgrammer to start with ? Why in CX-Programmer when you create an I/O table your self that you cannot pick an analogue card .... easily.... ie you pick special IO unit...this approach is not obvious. I know from experience how many input and output words are reqiured but what a pain. Plus it is my understanding when online you can configure a C200H analogue card but not CS1 or CJ1 ???? I do not think that this has been fixed in version 3.2 either ??? Yet, new cards are appearing such a FL-Net. Lets get the basics right.... CX-Programer I beileve is probably the best programming package going around at the moment due to its functionality, ease of use, and ease at which you can connect to PLC's, although I am still waiting for a new simple Scale function similar to AB's scale with parameters function. While on the subject I know that Omron for years now have had a great little Macro function, but do you know when we will be able to create our own DFB (defined Function Blocks) there appears to be a number of defined function blocks available for future use, any time soon perhaps ?Sorry for digression. I think that you do an excellent job with this forum, thanks in advance for all the time and great advice that you give.
