Hi. Can anyone help me on how to connect to OMRON cj2m with fins or ethernet/ip protocol from windows ? Is there any vb code or javascript ? I saw an omron fins javascript  topic from patrick  but i was not able to connect with the plc.  How many steps are needed to connect ? Thank you.    

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! This time I need to make a program to control temperature ... Some help? I don't know how to use an analog module, I'm just starting to working with them. The PLC I have a FX3u-32MR/ES (Mitsubishi), and I have the modules; FX3u-4AD-ADP and FX3u-4AD-PT-ADP for temperature measurement. PLEASE HELP? Have a good day!

Hello everybody. My FX3u PLC doesn't turn ON, I connect to 24Vdc and nothing, not even the POWER led :( Any recommendation??????????? PLEASE   

I'm searching for supported EtherNet/IP CIP objects documentation for CJ2M. With Wireshark, I see unknown service 0x54. Thank you!  

Hello PLC guys. I need some advice for developing project. We have aim to rework mobile crushing complex. There are have 8 VFDs ABB acs 800 with CANopen Adapter Module RCAN-01. We plan to use mitsubishi fx3u plc. I haven't work before with CanOpen protocol. Is it passable to programming communication between Fx3u-can and ABB drives or easier way to buy modbus or profibus communication options for inverters? Before create topic, i have read RCAN-01 (3AFE64504231), fx3u-can (JY997D43301) manuals and sheet about canopen protocol. I have also downloaded:  1)Fx3u-can eds from mitsubishi. 2)RCAN eds from abb. 3)FX3CANopen_GW2_V120 libreary. But i didn't understand how using eds files for configurating network. As i know mitsubishi haven't special software for it like profibus dp configurator for gsd. PDO it is like PPO for profibus? I need just send to inverter CTW,Setpoint Ref and recieve from inverter STW,Feedback Ref, Current and alarm word. For modbus and profibus it is easy configurating via inverter's parameters. What types of PDO better use for this task and how it prepare? Need i use NMT,SDO,Hearbeat? Can someone give me example projects with canopen communication with any vfd in gid/gw2 or step by step explain what need to do?  

Hi guys, currently working on the communication with videojet 1620 printer (Continuous Inkjet Marking), in there operators manual (http://www.videojet.com/content/dam/Countries/North%20America/Operator-Manuals/CIJ/1620-Operator-Manual.pdf)  the say : - How to Configure Ethernet Port Refer to WSI/ESI Communications Protocol addendum for more information. But cant find this addendum anywhere in the web, all i did found is this pdf attached "Videojet 1510 and 1210 Simple Communications Protocol". I'have try it with th eprinter using the Ethernet port and all i can find open is the FTP(21), 3000, 3001 and VNC(5900). An d i have send same packets from the WSI/ESI to the print via 3000 and 3001 with Packet Sender but the response was empty!! is there any one that know this protocol ESI/WSI or did work with this printer or simillar ?   i found this info in the FTP folder : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <CONTROLLER_INFORMATION>     <START_DATE date="07/09/2016"/>     <HARDWARE BoardType="CSB4"/>     <VERSIONS>         <WINDOWS_CE Eboot="4.0.3" CE_Image="2.0.9"/>         <SOFTWARE Type="Excel" Version="1.0.423.0" SVN_Build="28116M"/>     </VERSIONS> </CONTROLLER_INFORMATION> 180020947-Videojet-WSI-Protocol.pdf

I have a compactLogix L24.  It is connected to a network switch.  I also have an ethernet servo driver (KM AKD) attached to the same switch. The CL L24 IP address is 192.168.150.1 The Servo Driver is 192.168.150.3 In RSLogix 5000, I added an ethernet module.  I put in the IP address for the servo driver.  When I go online, I just get a connection error (Code16#0204).   I can talk to the servo driver using my PC on the same network (192.168.150.13), but the CompactLogix won't talk to it.  Do I need to install an external ethernet module to make this work, or can I use the existing ethernet ports on the L24? I'm stumped.

Hello, I have to work now with a cj1m cpu11. I would like to connect it to a ns10 display. My first obvious problem is when i made the project in cx programmer, that unlike in cj2m i wasnt able to select the cpu unit in the IO table and set the ip adress. How do i need to set the ip address? im reading an omron guide, but it is confusing, and so long, i only want to set the ip address :/. Also how can i set the fins network to 2? On the cx-designer i set the network address:2 and the node adress:40. I know that the 40 means the end of ip address. Thats why i want to set the plc. How about the network address 2?  Help is much appreciated. Thanks!

GOODDAY EVERYONE, PLS I'M HAVING PROBLEM WITH MY ALLEN BRADLEY PV 600 USING ONLY RS232 AND ETHERNET CABLE ONLY I DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET TO THE FILE MANAGER IN OTHER TO ACCESS THE APPLICATION ON IT. PLS HELP ME OUT

Hello everyone, I would like to know how is the Ethernet communication in Micro830 PLC's. I'm about to do a communication between a micro830 and SMC actuator drive and I want to know how set Micro800 Ethernet communication. This is by explicit messages or mapping?.   Tks

I am looking for a device to allow communications to and from a series 5 Allen Bradley DH+ to a Schneider Electric M241 Ethernet IP. Or what is the best way to configure the M241 and third party communications module to allow the communications to DH+. Randy

Hi y'all, I am looking for affordable and reliable PLC and HMI solution : PLC with real-time clock and multiple (>16) relay output, modbus TCP/IP Simple HMI even 2 line LCD will do. Thanks in advance

I want to implement Omron CIP, which communicates with CJ2M CPU35 Controllers across an Ethernet/IP network using the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP). Which commands they will use? FINS? or some other commands? Can someone help me to understand the protocol or command structure which can be used to implement Omron CIP (Ethernet/IP)?

Hi, I am working on a project that requires connecting an EtherCAT network and an Ethernet/IP network to the built in ports of the NJ controller. I have been able to setup the EtherCAT network in Sysmac Studio, but I am struggling with the Ethernet /IP setup in Sysmac Studio. For the Ethernet network I have to setup the Motoman DX200 and a Cognex In-Sight 7000, as well a NA HMI which I was able to figure out and have it setup in Sysmac Studio. I have the EDS files for both Motoman and Cognex and the are installed in Sysmac Studio. I am a confused about what to put in the target variable and the originator variable, as well how can I connect these to my Global variables?

I want to control plc mitsubishi FX3U via FX-USB-AW, but when i send command RR (<ENQ>00FFRR0) by using terminal, plc FX3U always return 0x95 0x95 0x95 0x95. I setting parameter of plc like this topic: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13807495/rs232-communication-protocol-mitsubishi-fx3g-plc Does anyone had experience with control plc via FX-USB-AW? please help me.

Hi! I have my 1756 IF8 wired in high speed differential mode but i can't configure the RTS smaller than 11 ms. What I understand it should be possible to set as low as 5 ms if module filter setting is 1000 Hz. Is there anything else that i have to do?

Hi 1- How can I identify a disable x20 module (in physical view) cyclically ? I am looking for a funation block who can do that because I want to use the 'Module Ok' status of x20 module to check if their presence. Problem is 'module Ok' status is the same for module missing or disable. 2- Could I disable a module using fonction block? (FYI I already know the right click in physical view). Thanks  

I an seeking guidance on how to link two mitsubishi PLC over Ethernet and have them pass bits/words between them.  PLC 1, Q03UDV built in port  ---- GXWorks 2 v1.54N   192.168.1.39  (QJ71 in slot 1 is also available if req'd) PLC2, Q02H with a QJ71 Ethernet card in slot 2.  Same GXworks2   192.168.1.35   I know with a modbus or CCLink setup, there is a place to declare the buffer > X/Y parameters, but i have found no such parameters for the ethernet connections. I found 1 document describing the JP.Send instructions but I have not been able to get that to work from the example.    any help would be greatly appreciated.     

I have a project where I have to read I/O, and potentially initiate programs on the Mitsubishi PLC. Seems I can use the Melsec Protocol but I have some difficulty getting started. I can communicate via Ethernet using GXWorks 2 so hardware-wise there shouldn't be anything wrong. I'm using QJ71E71, Q06HCPU, QX42, etc. Initially I open a UDP socket to the correct IP address and port (copy the port from GXWorks) and attempt to issue a request 3E/Binary, specifying the network, PC, Module IO, and station and it always times out. Is there any source code that just does a basic read of a memory location? I'm using C++ but I should be able to understand any code sample in VB, C, C#, or others. Also, is there any issue with multiple connections to the PLCs. Right now I quit GXWorks before I test but is this necessary. Thanks, Jeff

It's another BOOTP post! I know you're all as excited as I am, so lets get started. But seriously, I'm trying to disable BOOTP on the built in Ethernet ports, not on an Ethernet module. I specifically say disable because BOOTP successfully assigns the IP address to my Compact Logix, however I still need to disable BOOTP to make it a static IP address rather than a dynamic IP address. I'm going to list everything that I have tried, so that anyone with the same issue can have an all-in-one-place reference. (Because there's a number of forum posts and other information for this topic on the internet, with many different suggestions) If I see different ideas/suggestions in other places, I can edit them into this post. Things I have tried: (and you should try if you have this issue) Disabling all firewalls, (For me: Windows/Avast) Disabling all other network adaptors. (Wifi especially, but any and all adaptors you are not using for the setup) Using a different laptop/operating system: (My current laptop runs windows 8.1 and uses a Linksys usb to Ethernet device to talk to the PLC, I tried a laptop running windows 7 which communicated using a built in Ethernet port) Lastly: Try to use all available methods to disable it. For me, that would be: BOOTP standalone server, RSLinx, (Trying to use both USB and Ethernet connections) and finally RSLogix. (Actually, only Ethernet modules have a "disable BOOTP" checkbox built into RSLogix, so that is not an option for me.) [If you have an Ethernet module, go to port configuration in RSLogix and uncheck the "enable BOOTP" checkbox] Anyway, RSLinx Classic (version 3.71) and BOOTP Standalone server (version 2.32) are each coming back with an error when I try to disable BOOTP. I'll attach a .jpg of some screenshots, and some Wireshark save files to show what I mean. In the RSLinx Wireshark file, it shows a "privilege violation" packet being sent from the PLC to the laptop towards the end of the exchange, but I'm not sure what privileges the laptop needs/doesn't have. For the wireshark files: I cleared everything happening before I try to send the command, so that there isn't a ton to search through. As far as timing of the wireshark files go: I start recording traffic, send the disable command (by clicking the disable BOOTP/DHCP button on BOOTP server or "apply" on RSLinx) then I stop recording traffic once I get the error message. So, the captured packets should be just the attempt to disable BOOTP and that's about it. I am sorry that I the pictures are strung together using paint, but I don't have photoshop on my work computer so it's the best I have. Any suggestions/help would be appreciated! (Regardless of whether they are suggestions for me, or suggestions that I may have missed intended for anyone with this problem.) Thank you for your time. Edit: I had the attached pictures open in paint/photo viewer, sorry that they look bad in the forum picture viewer. BOOTP_wireshark.pcapng rs_linx_USB_wireshark.pcapng rs_linx_wireshark.pcapng

Hi. I have Q12HCPU and Q358 Base unit. How to read from CPU which module removed from base unit when PLC is runing ? Which address storing diagnostic information?
