Hello, I am trying to do something tricky today by simulating an IQ-R plc(R08CPU) in gx works 3, and to make it connect to Fernhill SCADA as well. All done on the same PC. My goal is to see that I can make the IQ-R series work with Fernhill as that is also a question I want to solve before buying the PLC and I was hoping I could use the simulation for this. I have tried searching if this is something that will work at all and so far I have not found anything... It feels like it is a very special case to have both the simulation and the SCADA on the same pc for one, second is that I don't know how the simulated PLC's IP address will behave, I cannot ping it for instance. The first step of my issue is, My simulated PLC has an IP address. In my mind I should be able to ping this address on my PC, which I cannot. If I cannot use the simulated PLC's IP address, I will have a hard time connecting it to the Fernhill SCADA. Second step/question is, will the Fernhill SCADA be able to work with the simulated PLC? help is appreciated!

Hi everyone, I recently started in the automation industry and am currently working on an Omron project. So I have two programs, one on Sysmac Studio (which has the HMI) and the other on CX-Programmer. I am trying to simulate both simultaneously using the Sysmac Studio HMI. Is there any way I can do that where for example I can toggle stuff on and off from the Sysmac HMI and get feedback from the CX-Programmer ladder? Thank you in advance.

Salutations! So recently I'm very confused with my CX-Programmer. Everytime I tried to run the Simulator from CX-Programmer, I always got a notice that a certain program called KickEngine.exe is about to Run. I look up for this program and found it inside CX-Simulator folder, so I decide to run it anyway. The problem is the simulator always return the error : "The selected port does not exist". In other words I cannot run the simulation. I understand that the simulator uses ControllerLink comm. between CX-Programmer and CX-Simulator, so I tried to run those two separately and build the connection, but also to no avail. Even so, since CX-Programmer 9.0, I believe there is no need to run the programs separately. Before I had a similar problem where the simulator cannot be run, and the error code is "Failed to Start Ladder Engine". This was solved by removing whole Omron software using CX-Remover, then reinstalling again. However, it doesn't solve the current problem. If possible I don't want to resort to reinstalling the whole OS... T_T Anyone has suggestions or ideas? I had lookup on an older thread and tested the measure taken there, and didn't solve this. Thanks!

Hello! Is there any possibility to connect a Mitsubishi PLC to a program like Siemens Plant Simulation? With Siemens PLC I can do it through OPC UA protocol, or Shared Memory with SIMIT, or stuff like that. But I would need to do it also with Mitsubishi PLC. Can I use for example OPC Server? I couldn't find out, if Mitsubishi PLC-s have that function built-in. (I have a L02 and a FX3S COU, either of them would be great.) Thank you!

Kinetix 300 Ethernet/IP Locks Up
Glenn Robinson posted a topic in Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation
I am trying to use an Automation Direct Productivity P2000 to control a Kinetix 300 servo drive using Ethernet/IP. I got the EIP working fine using Explicit Messaging. The hardware enable and overtravel limits are hardwired ON. The drive doesn't show any faults. When I turn on the software ENABLE bit (bit 7 of byte 0 in the Output Assembly), the Ethernet communication stops. Motionview continues to work, but if I disconnect and reconnect, it can't find the drive. I have to physically power down the drive to reestablish Ethernet communication. Once I power back up, EIP communication resumes with no issues. Any thoughts? What am I missing? -

MachineExpert Vijeo Designer simulation
dbozic posted a topic in Modicon / Telemecanique / Schneider Electric
Hi guys, I installed new MachineExpert v1.2 and Vijeo 6.2.9 on Win10 machine. When connecting simulation PLC to Vijeo to test my application everything is good. I go to PLC and check the nodename (see the pic attached) which I put in my Vijeo application and everything works. Issue is, because of my hard drive capacity I am forced to work via VM (but this is my preffered way also because of number of PLC softwares used). When I installed from the same installer (everything same as my local Win10) on Win7 VM when I run simulation I get empty space where the PC simulator should be visible which nodename I should type in Vijeo. Also I noticed when going to gateway management console in VM the process is active, same parameters as in host machine. Turning off the gateway on the VM turns it off as well on the host. Is there a known problem of connecting to simulator on VM? Or win10? Unfortunately I don't have Win10 VM to try right now.. Anyone can help? Much appreciated! -
Is it possible to simulate a servo axis in Sysmac Studio? Can you create a virtual axis and then set velocity & position for this virtual axis? If this is possible, is there an example program that anyone can share with me? Thank you. Happy new Year!

I've got a 300 with Motionview that I'm going to run using the IOD connector with discrete signals. First time to touch one of these. I see the pin 29 is enable/inhibit. I've tried +24VDC, 0v, and nothing and the drive will never 'enable'. What am I missing? I've got the the STO where the safety1 & 2 inputs are tied to +24VDC and the commons shorted together. I tried unshorting the commons. I tried removing the connector altogether. I've read the manual, there nothing mentioning 'enabling' other than that pin 29 being high, which obviously doesn't work for me. Any help?

Enable Analog Channel in RSLogix 500 // First Scan Bit, COP function?
James275 posted a topic in Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation
Hello all. I have been working with an SLC 5/04 system, which houses various Digital and Analog INs and OUTs, up to Slot 29. I am currently mainly working with Slot 25, an Analog Input: 1746-NI16I. This is a system which has already been set up and has been running for the best part of 8-10 years. This particular card has had some spare inputs, one of which I am trying to connect to. In the Advanced Configuration, only a few Channels are actually "Enabled", and each channel is pretty much slightly different from another in terms of Input Type, Filter Frequency and Data Format. I am trying to set up Input 14, which is Channel 15, to "Enable" it, 4-20mA Input Type, Filter Frequency of 6 Hz and Data Format of either Raw/Proportional or Engineering Units. Now, after I have made my choices, I click apply, and then OK. I am then confronted by a pop-up which states: "Configuration Rung and Data Integer Data File Number: 25 Integer Data Element: 100 Rung to be inserted: XIC S2:1/15 COP #N25:100 #O0:25.0 24 At Program File Number: 4 82" I have the options of OK or Cancel. If I click OK, I now have LAD 4, Rung 82 Highlighted. This First Scan Bit and COP function were already here, but does that mean I have now altered what is being written to "#O:25.0"? I now Download the Changes. However, after all this, I am not getting any Analog input reading coming in from the Live PLC. What is this COP function? What does it do? How do I properly set up this Analog Card? Thanks for your time, -Jame -
Hi, there! I had got GX-Developer Ver.8, which is very different from the plc programs that I have learned before. I have read many tutorials and watch it but I still don't know how to start ladder logic test. Many other people simply click on 'start or end ladder logic test' but mine was greyed. Anyone has solution? Or I just missed a couple steps of simulation? Though it is very basic problem, I will put a deep gratitude for your reply.

Hi. I am barely new into programation and I just wanted to know if there is a way to simulate an 3'' inch HMI (based on NV-Designer), since I don't have the HMI itself. Thanks in advance.

Hi! Anyone can help regarding this issue. I'm not able to monitor the Motor Block that I have created. there's no error either in the output screen but i'm thinking what is the cause of not running in the simulation which shows the Motor Folder RED even it was compiled. thanks for the help! Note: I'm new in mitsubishi.

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?

There are a lot of instructions in function block that are missing the enable input that is present when programming in ladder logic, such as ADD or MOV. It seems to be very limiting. The only way around it that I know of is to write your own function block in ladder logic or statement list and use that. I seems rather limiting of a language if it relies on other languages for it to be usable. Does anyone know why the enable bit was left out in many function blocks when it is so useful in ladder logic? Pat

I'm having trouble with some very basic programming using function blocks. Specifically Connect Components FB programming, but I think it is a general, common application. Using ladder logic, it is easy to set a value based on the status of a bit. If the bit is false, move a zero into the variable. If the bit is true, move and 88.0 into the value. This relies on the enable bit of the mov instruction in ladder logic. Many function block instructions do not have enable bits. How would I change the value of a variable based on the status of a bit using function block programming? A real world example: You have a two position selector switch. If it is turned to the left, the drive runs at 0 Hz. (off) if it is to the right, it runs at 88.0 Hz. Or if you have a 4 position selector and want to select between 4 speeds. This should be a simple task, right? I've called the tech connect support line a few times and sent them a few emails and they haven't been able to figure it out. This is such a basic task. Thanks, Pat

FT view studio security code for the numeric input enable button
Jiggadoo posted a topic in Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation
Hello! I am programming with FT view studio version 8. In the program, when I make numeric display, I can not input values for this tag I am using in the display. Then I decided to make 'invisible button' for enabling the input for this tag which is shown in the numeric display. This is okey for me, only if there is other ways to do this please tell me. Now when I have created this numeric display with input enabling -'group', I have a problem, how can I use security levels for this group, so that only logging in values can be set? I have found that there is security code selection for this in the screen displays, but not for the buttons. -
Hi, I've been trying to run my project in Simulation (and check display on VNC viewer). When I try to download a procjet to simulator, then I get : "Error 8028 while transferring*: Wrong PV initialisation format" Can anybody help me with it? Please check attached pictures.
