  1. I had a weird problem with their EtherCAT expansion card on a XG-X vision controller. It would cut off downstream communications when trying to connect using a daisy chain configuration. The only way we got it to work was to put the XG-X with the EtherCAT card at the end of the chain.
  2. NA5 HMI Popup

    Is there a system variable from the HMI that lets me know if a popup is active?
  3. Safety PLC Upload

    I will have to try using the USB option later. I ran out of time and had to leave. The machine is being powered down for shipping and will arrive at our plant in two weeks.  I will try connecting again when the machine arrives. Thanks to all for the help and suggestions. I will give an update in two weeks or so.
  4. Safety PLC Upload

    I unchecked the boxes in the Synchronization dialog box. It tells me there isn't any data to transfer.   I also tried the same with the boxes unchecked for transfer from controller. It then gives me the safety PLC dialog box. I say 'OK" but it then tells me there's a network communication error.
  5. I have a NX-SL3500 safety PLC attached to a NX-ECC203 coupler. How do I upload the safety program from this unit? It says the upload failed but doesn't say why. I attached some screenshots.
  6. NX_SerialBufClear Error

    No, I haven't. I didn't know this function exists.
  7. I am getting an '0C0B' error on the NX_SerialBufClear instruction once every few weeks. I don't know what is causing this and also don't know how to clear it. The serial port is connected to a Zebra handheld barcode scanner and it's used by the operator to scan incoming boxes for traceability. 99% of the time this instruction works and nothing happens. When I get this error, they are no longer able to scan the boxes. The only way I have been able to clear the error is to do a soft restart on the card. I go to the configuration and setup for the bus coupler in Sysmac Studio. Look for the serial card, right click on it and then select restart.
  8. Sometimes I get this dialog box to reflect default values during synchronization. What are default values and why do I get this dialog box? 
  9. Upload the safety program?

    Does the OP know to uncheck the transfer slave terminal operation settings box during synchronization? I recall not getting the safety PLC program/settings if I don't uncheck this.
  10. DUPLICATED OUTPUT WARNING

    Warnings don't prevent you from compiling and running your program. As much as I want to fix all the warnings in my programs, I can never do it because Omron says SET and RESET for one bit is also a duplicate output.
  11. IO Table

    This is one of the computers out on the plant floor. For this reason, I don't have any access to it for applying auto updates (or even registering it). I have to track my own licenses in case IT does an audit. Incredibly frustrating. For now I am going to give up and use the DM areas to see what settings are made and what I have to change.
  12. IO Table

    Windows 10 Enterprise (10.0.17763) on the computer.  CX-Programmer is version 9.70. CX-Server is version 5.0.
  13. IO Table

    I tried it. Changed to Program mode and selected Create. The outcome is still the same.  Still says I have to install CPS files. 
  14. IO Table

    I will have to go try. Should I say Yes or No for Initialise CPU Bus settings?
  15. IO Table

    I am having a problem with an existing PLC. The type is CJ2H-CPU66-EIP. Whenever I click on the IO Table and Unit Setup, I get this pop-up dialog box telling me to install the CPS file for the PLC. I can open the IO table but something is not right. The built-in EIP port isn't showing and the serial card at slot 00 doesn't show the settings when I click on it. It only asks me which unit type it is. This seems to have started when we added a serial communication card to slot 00. This was done around August 2021 but we haven't had to use the needed ports until now. The problem is we can't set the parameters using the IO table. How did it get like this and how do I fix it?
