It is through the STO inputs...….but I later found that my Electrician didn't get one of the wires in the connector all the way....  The other drive, he did not have the STO wiring going from the Safety Output Module to the Servo STO..... Thanks for the reply....got it working now.....

I am trying to find the proper way to tie my 1S Servo Controller STO to my NX Safety CPU via Safety Output Module.....  I am looking in manuals that I have and searching OMRON site as well.. I am unfamiliar with Omron Programming in general but have had years of AB programming.....so I figure it will be similar, but I cannot get my Drives out of ST mode.... Thanks,

I have discovered that "AlarmObjName" is the name of the User Alarm View object I am trying to control......but apparently the IAG buttons do not work with newer NA5 displays??   I get this when I press any of the buttons...  

Thank you, yes that will help....  With that bit of knowledge, I was able to find that "reset logic" in a previous program done for this company written by a former engineer, no longer employed here.. Thanks again for the help..

I have an NJ-PLC tied to several components via EtherCAT...one of those components is the NX-Safety CPU.  Customer had us design the system so that the NJ-PLC stays powered even if the Main Disconnect is pulled.  The problem I am running into is that the NJ-PLC will log several EtherCAT Loss "Minor Errors" when the Main Power is disconnected from the slave components....that in turn will not allow my NX-Safety CPU to run after everything is all powered back up again.  The only way I can get the NX-Safety CPU to function again is to manually clear the "minor errors" while online with Sysmac Studio. Is there some setting somewhere I can turn off to NOT monitor EtherCAT Communications loss or some other way around this issue?? Again, I am very novice at Omron programming, 28 year AB programmer.... Thanks

Thanks again Michael....slowly starting to get the hang of this :-Z

Has anyone had experience with EtherCAT Communications using Sysmac, NJ5 PLC & Yaskawa SI-ES3 EtherCAT Comms board for A1000 VFD?  I have looked at the manual, but as I am still green on Sysmac & Omron programming in general.....not sure I understand what to do to simple Drive Status monitoring, Execute RUN/STOP & Speed Select... Thanks in advance :) 

Just to follow up on my own post.....  I have been told that my fault was due to the fact that I did not have the correct array name in my Alarm Expression for one; & two, I used [ ] instead of ( ) for the array elements in the Alarm Expression....which I did not know was a thing since you use [ ] everywhere else :) I had followed Michael Walsh's excellent example on how to use a Data Type/Union to allow me to use Bits in my PLC Fault Logic (as I was used to in AB programming), but I failed to notice that you have to use ( ) and not [ ] in the actual Alarm Setup :?

Compiled my HMI file I am currently building in Sysmac Studio for my NA5-Series display.  Not finished, but I executed a Build and this is what I got....I have absolutely no idea what it means...... Thanks,

Thanks....I understand now what they are....

I am desperately trying to understand the OMRON way of programming (28 yr. AB programmer) when it comes to Motion Control.  I am pouring over example programs and what I can understand in Omron manuals.....  What I cannot find is where you get all the bit level information from for individual axis....  For example, just a simple bit signaling a Servo Fault; I have a program that I have been studying and there is a bit with the variable MC_NailPunch_Station.MFaultLvl.Active, it obviously comes from the Axis "MC_NailPunch_Station", but I cannot find the reset of that variable anywhere in the program, in any setup....nothing. Is there a list somewhere of things like this I can use in my program for status bits etc.?   Thanks,

That helps a lot, thanks.  Struggling with all the locations to you have to modify just to monitor simple functions :?

I am new to Omron Programming, Sysmac Studio NJ processor & NA hmi.  I am used to being able to create diagnostic PLC logic using BIT addressing from a DINT variable for setting diagnostic signals for an HMI.  I can also use the DINT to do a quick check to see if it is greater than 0, therefore signaling I have a Machine Fault.  I cannot seem to figure out a way to get those BITS setup in the User Alarms of the NA programming.  I have found where you can setup a Datatype/Union to be able to use the DINT scenario and Bit level in PLC programming....but that doesn't help on the HMI side. Any thoughts??

Totally what I was looking to do!!  I knew there had to be a way.  I love this Mr. PLC forum.  Thank you for the help....I know I will be back with more question :) Here is one that is just a "why is it like that when mine is not...."....when you create your Alarm in the HMI, the Name translates to the Alarm ID.....in your pictoral example, you have "MyAlarm0 but it translated to "Group0_MyAlarm1", mine stayed "Group0_MyAlarm0".  Just a curious question. Thanks again....

Is there any other way to address alarms in the NJ logic, to the bit level, and trigger Alarms in NA setup to the BIT level rather than INT level?  I ask because there is the possibility of having more than one alarm triggered in the PLC logic and that would not translate to a single INTeger value in the NA Alarm setup.   Thanks,
