Hi Everyone We are setting up a initial training in PLC programming for technicians, I got some experience with SIEMENS S7 but this seems to be an expensive choice, we would like to opt for a budget PLC but at the same time would like a user friendly software for teaching......I would like to have views of users of other PLC brands such as OMRON, MITSUBISHI or even Schneider??? thanks Jay

Hello everyone, Have a nice day to all. We just received a small machine from china, and definitely we done a lot of modification to add  safety and other sequence, to adapt this machine to the existing line. I'm familiar with siemens and omron, and this is my first time for mitsubishi PLC. FX3sA-20MR, can somebody pls. help me what software do i need to download and programming cable to communicate with the PLC. Thank you in advance...

I have 200W - 200VAC : Omron R88D-1SN02H ECT Servodrive and Omron R88M-1M20030T BS2 Servomotor I wish to make myself the connection between Drive and Motor , with self made cables. Connectors ( JAE ) - Japan Aviation Electronics JN6FR02SM1 - 2 pins - brake cable in motor side JN6FR07SM1 - 7 pins - encoder cable in motor side JN6FS05SJ2 - 5 pins - power cable in motor side Molex 55100-0670 - 6 pins - encoder cable connector in drive side - ( IEEE 1394 - Firewire 400 ) https://assets.omron.eu/downloads/manual/en/i823_1s-series_setup_manual_en.pdf http://multimedia.3m.com/mws/media/569007O/3mtm-i-o-interconnect-system-2-0-mm-for-ieee-1394-ts2296.pdf http://www.jae.com/z-en/pdf/MB-0161-1E_JN6.pdf https://industrial.omron.mx/es/media/I586-E1-02_1S-Series_EtherCAT_UsersManual_tcm851-112757.pdf ======================================== How can i know which it's pin #1 from each socket from Drive and Servomotor ? Atention !!! I'm not talking about pin numerotation from connectors which i connect to drive or motor . I wish to know the pin #1 from Drive CN2 socket and from Motor sockets ( power , brake and encoder ) http://www.jae.com/z-en/pdf/MB-0161-1E_JN6.pdf In MB-0161-1E_JN6.pdf you can see the numerotation of pins from "Receptacle" . That means , the "Receptacle" it's that part what is in Omron Servomotor ? Or it's the part of JAE connectors , which it's inside of connector housing ? The question is , how can i be sure i don't make a mistake, and i know the right numerotation of Encoder socket of Omron Drive : CN2 and the right numerotation of Omron Servomotor ( brake , power and encoder cable ) I've found schematics about how to connect the Drive with Motor with power , brake and encoder cables , but i didn't find a pin numerotation of sockets ( drive side CN2 encoder socket and power , brake and encoder from motor side ) I didn't find nowhere the right numerotation of pins from CN2 socket of Drive and from Servomotor sockets ( i find it something from above JN6 series connectors from JAE connectors ) I wish to know where can i find the numerotation of pins from Omron R88D-1SN02H ECT Servodrive and Omron R88M-1M20030T BS2 Servomotor Specially , the Encoder cable numerotation from Drive side and Motor side . I've noticed in attached picture the numerotation from Drive , CN2 encoder socket ( IEEE 1394 - Firewire 400 ) . That's correct ? It's right numerotation ?

Hi, all version gx work2 can support FX3s? Im using version 1 gx works 2 and currently got new fx3s-10mr/es w/out program..i tried to make new program but fx3s ot included in this software

Hi, all version gx work2 can support FX3s?

Hello!  I have a Dynapro ET3170W touchscreen terminal from which I would like to upload the screen configurations.  I have tried Google searches and not found anything except user manuals.  3M has not been any help either. Can anyone tell me if there is a software program to do an upload or what I would need software wise to do it? I saw something mentioned in the application developer's manual about a TCS software package, but have not been able to find anything about it. This is really the only hurdle left in the project I am working on, as a Maple Systems or Direct Automation terminal can do the same thing as the Dynapro, I just need to know what commands are sent from the various screens.  Thank you in advance for any help.

Does anyone here use this? Control Draw If so how useful do find it? Worth spending the time on learning or better off with another product? If so what? My application is going to be for in-house management and design of control systems for a food manufacturing plant.   Thanks.

Hello I am kind new at Allen B.

I purchased a couple of C28P units on Ebay, thinking they were I/O units which I could connect to my C28K. Unfortunately, when I tried to use syswin software to enter a ladder program into the units, I got rejected by the software.  Can someone tell me what software I need to communicate with C28P.  If not, does anyone want to trade these units for C28K.. 

Hello, I have a silly yet anoying problem, How can i check the used NS / screen type in a current x designer project? So i have a project, and i need to get a display to test it, but i need to check what is the display type.

Hi, Iam new to schneider electric PLC drive programming and also to canOpen communication. I have an LMC058 PLC and there are three Lexium 32A drives connected via canOpen which inturn controls three servomotors. My question is how to find/ read hardware limit status of the axis in which limit is connected to a digital input pin of the drive. Even though the axis is properly working by configuring the digital input pins we are unable to get the digital input status of the drive. In the drive manual its given that the digital input status can be read from canOpen address 3008:F(hex) we dont know how to read the status during run time in the program . Can any one advise me how to read that address. I tried SDO_read function but its giving me error(canOpen network id Unknown). Thanks in advance.

Hello to everybody!  I have same trouble with the simulation, I CAN'T SIMULATE :(  The botton for simulation is not active, the PLC I'm using is a FX3U Mitsubishi. Any recommendation?

Hi, I am current using an Acopos Drive along with their mapp layer to program a servo motor but after doing the auto tuning of the servo motor i started getting an Error code : 4007 Lag Error stop limit exceed. I guess that is because i dont have any torque on the motor or not the required torque but in auto tuning there is no feature call torque tuning as there is only position and speed with different filter. I anybody know how to get ride of that error i would really appreciate it.   Thanks 

I am in the learning phase of HMI and PLC programing and am trying to use some of the hardware that has been donated to me. I have an AB panelview 300 micro terminal and a Micrologix 1000 Plc (they are not tethered yet). I have constructed a small test board with everything mounted to it and have successfully written and downloaded a simple project to the plc with timers, etc.   Now I need to find a way to program the terminal to make changes to the program.   I am looking for some free panelbuilder 32 or anything that will allow me to program the terminal and use it.   Can anyone help me? All help will be greatly appreciated!
