  1. I've added users in CX-Supervisor Developer, built and copied the SR3 file over but the new users don't travel with it. (I didn't think they should be embedded in the project file.) How do I transfer the user accounts from Developer to Runtime?
  2. I'm an experienced PLC / HMI developer but not very familiar with CX-Supervisor. I'm modifying a program with CX-Supervisor Version 3.41 and all is well until I try to test it. The runtime builds and starts but the PLC point data is all zeros. I'm developing on my laptop, plugged into the machine network where the HMI is running the previous program version. Can my modified program talk to the NX701 PLC while the HMI is talking too? Is there some trick to starting the Developer Runtime that I'm missing? Many thanks.
  3. Hi, I have some trouble with a CJ2M-CPU33. My client did a backup to memory card earlier today, and after this we did some changes through remote link. Now the client wanted to restore the previous backup to the PLC and has done so, but the system would not function correctly. After going online on the PLC it seems like the PLC is stuck in "Stop/Programming Mode". When trying to change to "Monitor" or "Run" mode a dialog comes up containing the following message: "Failed to change the operating mode. The operating mode may be still changing in the PLC."  - All the dip switches are set to off after restoring backup - The PLC has been rebooted  - I have downloaded the application again through CX-programmer  - Verified that the PLC is set to start up in "Monitor mode" But nothing helps. The same message comes up when trying to change the operating mode.  Hoping anyone can help to resolve this issue as it is very critical for us and the client. In advance, thanks for any tips or help received. Best regards Stian
  4. Trying my luck to ask here, if anyone can help :D So I've started using CX-Supervisor v3.41 and found a very odd problem with the color palette, as shown in the picture below. As you can see, the palette size is abnormal that the Color Selector button is not visible anymore. This window is also not sizeable, so I cannot do anything to fix it. I never encountered such problem with v3.24 before. I confirmed this is not a screen resolution problem either since I've tried to change it. Anyone encountered same issue perhaps? Maybe someone know a workaround? Thank you
  5. I'm modifying an existing application and need to expand some recipe arrays. Runtime is throwing an error on the last element of the original array (elements 0 to 137 and I have expanded to 199). Is there any way to add a breakpoint into the code to see what's happening? How does anyone else do it? Many thanks.
  6. Help! PLC program removed

    Hi, Anyone knows how to retain PLC program for CQM1 PLC model in the EEPROM? Everytime I power off the PLC, when power on the PLC Program lost and the PLC status is in ERROR(No END Instruction error). Already tried downloading with AR1400 turn on from the CX Programmer software but still no luck. Hope someone out there guide me step by step. I'm new to CX Programmer. Thanks lot! marky  
  7. So I did this simple Function Block, pretty simple, and yet it keeps giving me this error, after a bunch of failed combinations the error persists, without telling me whats wrong. And therefore won't even allow me to download the program to the PLC (CJ2M CPU31) or even simulate.   I heard it's a simple thing to fix but I really dont know how to, since I'm quite new to this. Here's the function block  itself in the picture and the programming inside it, although since it gives me no errors, i don't think that would be the problem
  8. Hello, I need to Synchronize two 4kW motors connected to their own individual AltiVar VSDs. To put it simply the two motors are pulling cables on a pulley and when loaded the motor's slip and the speed varies. I have an Omron CP1L-EM PLC and 2x Omron Rotary Encoders ( E6C2-CWZ5B encoders - 360 PPR) - connected to each motor,   What is the best way to read the pulses from the two rotary encoders then convert to RPM? 1) Using  PRV or PRV2(883) instruction,  - this would be the best option as it would convert the value to RPM - however, can I use this instruction on both Counter 0 & Counter 1? 2) Or read the raw value from  Counter 0:  A270 (connected to motor one's encoder) Counter 1: A272 (connected to motor two's encoder) Convert the pulses to RPM - then compare and adjust? 3) Or using CTBL. - is this a useful instruction for this application?   Once I get the RPM speed from each motor - I can then do a compare instruction - see if there is a mismatch and if so send a scaled analogue output to the VSDs to correct the speed if required. (10-50Hz) What would be your recommendations? any help would be most helpful. Thank you.
  9. Dear All               Could you people help me to solve this issue. I need a Function in cx-supervisor with Push Button.I want Bit ON, when I pressed the button, and when I release the button then this bit goes OFF. Sorry for my bad English its not my native language.
  10. Hi..  someone please help me.. i'm working in omron CS1H-H CPU67 PLC. My struggle is I/O in one particular rung is not getting updated.  Note: the rung is consist of a P_On flag followed by a FB ; all I/O to the FB were correctly assigned. but the inputs inside the FB instance are not getting updated so that the output not updated. can anyone please help me....????   sorry for my poor english... thanks in advance.
  11. I am trying to use FINS/UDP network to communicate with a Siemens device (at a customers site over seas from my home office), today I attempted to set up a SEND command based on information my customer received from a local Omron representative but had no luck.  I feel like I am missing something in a setting somewhere, does anyone have experience doing this?  I am using a CJ2M-CPU35's built in Ethernet IP port which is also communicating to 5 other Omron devices over Ethernet IP, so I am wondering if there is an issue having both networks. Thank you!
  12. Hello, Thank you for giving me the opportunity to join your awesome community. I am pretty much a beginner in using more than one PLC so please bare with me. This is my problem so far, I have four C1JM PLCS with no Ethernet port built into them BUT I also have four serial to Ethernet converters (MOXA NPORT 5110) and a switch. I want to make a small control room so that I can control all of the PLCS from a single PC using CX-Supervisor. My problem is that i don't know how to make a network between the four PLCS and the PC and how to configure them on CX-Programmer and CX-Supervisor so that i can control all the four PLCS from one PC.  Your help will be much appreciated. Thank you in advance and have a nice day :)
  13. PID regulation PT

    Hello   Does someone have a good way to control pressure using PID in cx-programmer? I got two pumps and one PT(4-20mA) Half the year only one pump need`s to run (about 3bar)  but in the season (i work in a fabric) two pumps need to be running (about 4bar needed) except in the night. I`m going to use HMI for adjusting the setpoint so there is no need for any clock/date for this to change itself. The question is how to get one of the pumps to shut down when the need for pressure is not so high. And get the pumps to change "main" pump sometimes so one pump is not running all the time.   Hope this was understandable    
  14. Hello guys, I need help. I have an OMRON PLC; CJ2M series which I am not very familiar with. I need to do comparisons, but I see that do that I can't just compare with a value. It looks to me that I have to store the value I need to use to compare in a memory address and reference to the memory address for my comparison.  Is it possible for me to compare using a value and not have to first go through a memory address? Is there a way to use the instruction to store the value in a memory location ? Or do I specifically have to use CX-Designer for me to wrote the value to a memory location? Thanks in advance.
  15. The production environment has had a CX Supervisor package running since 2006. the internal computer finally bit the dust... We have managed to install XP on another PC. Supposedly it was all installed correctly off site and tested to run OK offsite. When connected to the (PLC) machine CX-Supervisor [v1.33] gives an error 1007. Probably its an communication error. It seems that the back-up runtime version (sr2) was CX Supervisor v.2.1 from which we don't have a hash dongle. We only have a v1.3 version.   According to the omron helpdesk, the only thing we can do to test the connections , is to install a v2.x trial version with the .sr2 file. There is no need for a usb-dongle in a trial version and it wil only work for 30 days. That would be sufficient for us, because the repair of the build-in system will take about two weeks. For now a complete production-line is out! In short: We urgently are in need of CX-Supervisor v2.x trial installation package. If anyone knows where to find it, it will be appreciated. 
  16. Is it possible to use an older version (rs2) from CX-Supervisor v1.33 with a new install of CX-Supervisor 3.x? regards, Richard
  17. My client is a pharmaceutical company and they want to interface their Blood Gas Analyzer (which is a RAPIDPoint 500) to a Controllogix PLC via EtherNet. I have attached a Spec that I found, which gives the initial information you would need to do this. It says that the BGA can transmit data in ASCII. However, it doesn't list what bits I need to send to the device in order for it to send the PLC the data. I've tried contacting Siemen's (who makes the BGA) and they were useless. I also tried searching the RA knowledgebase.  Does anyone have any insight on how to communicate with a device in this way? Thank you Tyler RP500_LIS_5_20_13_-_Rev_C_.pdf
  18. Omron CJ2M - Wago remote I/O

    Hi there, I’m not sure how familiar most of you are with Wago remote I/O, but I hope you may have some solution for the following connection problem I’m having. I’m working on a project to modernise an old folder collecting machine for which I’m using an Omron CJ2M Cpu33 together with 8 Wago 750-352 remote I/O units over ethernet/ip. These Wago units all contain two 8DI digital input cards and two 8DO digital output cards alongside a 750-610 bus power supply card. Adding them to my network in CX network manager is no problem and all seems to work fine. That is, as long as I don’t physically add the bus power supply card, which I need to, well.. power the Wago bus. Soon as I add this card (which was in place while making all the necessary settings to the Wago and Omron units) it just won’t connect. Remove it and it connects like it should. As far as I know the power supply card has no I/O addresses or other communication functions whatsoever, so I can’t get my head around it. Even stranger is that when instead of it I add an analog input card, with bus power connections build in, it connects without a problem. The .eds file only contains info about the main Wago unit, after installing it I should be able to add any kind of I/O card and address them in the Omron software. Also, the supply card is added and visible as a fifth card in the Wago I/O settings and the I/O status led is green during this error. Therefore I would say the problem is at the Omron side. Any sugestions?   Thanks in advance Andy - The Netherlands  
  19. I first saw AS-i at a factory this week and am trying to figure out what Allen Bradley modules can interface it. I am not finding anything, does AS-I go under some different name?
  20. Programming Analog Outputs - Problems

    Hi All, I've been perusing this forum and I've seen this topic covered before, but I still can't make heads or tails of how to do it still. I'm trying to vary an analog output 10v signal to talk to a VFD according to how much time a certain input bit is energized. Currently I have it set up as a totalising timer, trying to move the PV into a word so I can use it to scale an appropriate output. The trouble is, I'm not having any luck getting the output to do much of anything. No errors show up. For reference, I'm using a CJ2M CPU 12 PLC and the output I'm trying to program is a DA042V, its in slot 05 of the main rack. I'm trying to scale a 0-20 time to a 0-10V signal out. I used to have a problem and I was getting ~-.5V out of output 1, but I enabled a bit and now it's hanging out at 0V. Clearly I did something right. Any help would be much appreciated. I'm sure it's something silly, and I'm new at OMRON PLCs.
  21. version incompatible

    I'm supposed to send the software from one machine to the other. The Dwonload but who does not want to open with the CX Programmer: comes version incompatible. But I do not want to pay 700 € for an update I just want a tool that allows me to send this data in the other machine. Weir has an idea or who helps me I pay the service. The machines are in Austria in Saint Pölten.
  22. CX-Simulator

    Hi guys, Do you have experience or know any good guides to set up a simulation case like this: - Simulating a PLC program such that the "PLC" is accessible on the Ethernet (for example just locally). - In addition, setting up the PLC settings with FINS protocol such that it is possible to write to the PLC with FINS protocol from another device. The first part is  most important. Best regards PC_VS_PLC
  23. Program help

    So I need some help with a program I am currently making, and wodnered if there was an easy way to make it. The function I need help with is this: There are 4 pumps, and 1 of them is going to start, after 10 sec shall the next start, so 10 sec after that the third one. And so like this it continues. But heres the clue. The pump which have been used the least is going to start first, if it is pump 1 that have been used the least, or if pump 3 has been used the least. If you know of any function block, or other way I can do to make this work, I would love the help.   (I know of the comparison blocks less than and more than, but with these I only can think of 1 way to make this work. And it would be over 48 function blocks, which I personally think is too much)
