I am new in sysmac studio programming. I used WSFT function (word shift) in cx-programmer. What function I will use in Sysmac studio? Thanks.

Hello, attached below is what i have attached above is what i have done so far for the ladder logic when controlling a pump stroke but i cant seem to get it to work  Im using an OMRON CP1LE-EL with CX programmer i use an analog extension board and its only capable for 1 analog device which is my pump  is there something wrong with my ladder logic? pls help    sorry if its lacking in information i'm new to this so just go ahead and ask me what u need to help me out           

Hi, I'm a long time lurker and would like to start by saying thanks for all the help over the years, much appreciated!  This is my first post, please be gentle. I'm working through a large project with an L83 (V28) including 75 EIP nodes & 5 servos.  We have a need for quick real-time response of 2 cameras during a quick servo move (taking several pictures).  I've broken my program up into a few event driven tasks (allowing me to chose the execution time interval (5 to 8 ms for more important tasks and 20 ms for less important tasks, etc.)), along with these I have 2 periodic tasks: 1 for my HMIs & faults running every 30ms and 1 for this quick real-time response camera situation running at .5ms which contains my camera and servo logic.  Everything is running well and seems responsive and repeatable enough, but I am now adding the second half of the logic which will essentially double everything (2 up system).  This has made me consider the best structure approach: Is it better to have a few larger routines within a few larger tasks or better to have more smaller tasks containing an abundance of smaller routines or some other different mix? Thanks, JD43    

I'm making a plc interface tasks using vb serial communications, I used omron plc CPM2A and Visual Basic 2013 to control and monitor the plc, but I do not understand how to transfer to plc vb command, and the response from the plc to vb. please help me, I'm sorry if my english language is not good

Please I need a little help with a CQM1 plc and a DA021 because I need to control a sysdrive 3G3EV with the DA021, i dont know exactly how configure too 4-20ma and what address send the data to be converted to Analog output, i see something about APR function but I dont see any practical example. In the application i have to change the speed of a motor from a hmi, I sink on a variable in the range from 0-100 and convert this too bdc and then send to the DA.

I. Developed new application   TCP_IP_Connection 1. App TCP_IP_Connection     applies the technology of IoT, Smart Home, Remote control.    It allows to carry out: - remote control and monitoring of control systems; - remote diagnostics of  the object; - turn on/off sensors and devices, including electrical circuits,   hydraulics, pneumatics, etc.; - transfer  information, files and images between smartphones and computers   implemented the application. For communication between the respective devices (smartphones or computers) are required only stable connection to the Internet  !!! The application is developed according to the technology MQTT and use free  Internet broker. As a broker use the HiveMQ broker. The application consists of   3 parts : - TCP_IP_connection.apk - works on the smartphone and is intended for control and      monitoring of equipments; - Server_Send_Receive.exe - the management server located  on the computer and   execution  action on the transfer of  information from the smartphone to the   controller and   back; - Server_controller.exe - located on the  same computer and execution tasks   of  controller. Communication is linked directly with the controller via Ethernet or     Ethernet/IP. As the controller for management purposesused controller family   OMRON (CS1,CJ1,CJ2,CP1H,CP1L...). Note. As a controller you can use the other type of controllers, for example, Yaskawa, Siemens, ABB and  other. They require rework program Server_controller.exe only to  interface of exchange with controller. So for Yaskawa controller family 2300Siec this interface already developed and used in industrial conditions. 2. The application includes the following controls: A. Smartphone – computer - controller. - modes  read/write of memory cells and  bits of the controller OMRON      (DM,W,EM,CIO,HR); - continuous cyclic polling of the memory areas; - the formation of Alarms in the event of errors of control system; - Display Gauges for 6 variables in real time; - Display Scopes for 6 variables in real time; - formation of statistical data on the operation of the equipment. B. Smartphone - computer. - sending  and receiving text  messages; - sending and receiving  picture image; - transfer photos from a smartphone;  - transfer images from built-in Web camera of the laptop; - reading the contents of a directory on the computer or laptop; - reading contents of a text file. С. Smartphone -smartphone / computer - computer. - sending and receiving text messages; - sending and receiving of picture image; - transfer photos from smartphone to smartphone (from computer to computer); - send the image with the built in webcam of a laptop to another laptop; - reading the contents of a directory on the computer or laptop; - reading contents of a text file. 3. Work application Server_Send_Receive.exe and Server_Controller.exe tested on computers running the Windows 7 operating system. Work application TCP_IP_Connection.apk was tested on smartphones Samsung, Phillips  running the operating system Android 5.0, Android 6.0. It requires the use of a smartphone with a display diagonal of 5 inches and more. 4. App TCP_IP_Connection.the apk  paid, the cost per user is $ 5 USA. Distributed through Google Play. The Internet address for downloading of  programs Server_Send_Receive.exe and Server_Controller.exe is on screen Help  application TCP_IP_Connection.apk.  OMRON_Communication has the manual in Russian and  English languages. The Internet address for downloading the full manual   https://yadi.sk/i/F_EJOQEd3G5sXc. Looking for partners for the execution of similar works.      

Hello, We have this SCADA system Vijeo Citect 7.2 running in Windows 7. Primarily used as generator's alarm history & monitoring. PLC: OMRON C200HG All communications are good but DIGITAL data (alarms, bustie) from OMRON is not updating in real-time. (Need to restart the Vijeo Citect to make it work).  While BCD & LONGBCD datatypes (voltage, speed current) are working good and showing real-time *OFSVIJEO: INT datatypes are also working good.

Hi everyone, recently we got a complain about UM password protection in the CP1L. So our user intended to apply password to a CP1L PLC which doesn't have battery installed. They were testing to turning off the PLC for about a week. In the 8th day, they turned it on again and tried to upload the program from the PLC. But after they input the password, and error shows up which indicates whether the password is wrong, or already inputted wrong 5 times in a row. Further checking shows that A99.12 memory was turned on which indicates that wrong password has been inputted 5 times. This was not the actual case since we make sure no one was using the PLC in those 7 days. A99.12 by its nature is not a non-retain memory. Is it possible that during Power On, the memory is unstable that it turned On by itself? I know it can be the case on some areas like DM / WR and also the RTC memory. And since A99.12 is a Read-Only memory, we cannot use P_First_Cycle to ensure it's turned Off as what we used to do with A500.12 (Inhibit Output). Currently I'm testing it by myself, for 3 days had left the PLC Powered Off. If anyone had inputs about this please advice. Thank you

Hello,  I am a newbie to the Omron world. We have a new machine come in made on Omron PLC, we are trying to get it connected to our OPC server so that the server can read and write tags via ther Ethernet/IP protocol. We have given out ethernet card 10.14.9.187 IP and the NJ501-1300 controller is on 192.168.250.1. But still our OPC server cannot see the tags/variables. I dunno if we have to add the ethernet communication card to the network configurator and add the tag sets ?  We are also getting a tag resolution error on sysmac studio while being online.    Thanks Pratik 

Hi, can you help me how to make program indirect address for plc omron? I use PLC CP1E Thanks

Hello,               So i am trying to use real numbers input from an Omron screen and compare them with a bank of numbers to enable a bit like a password. We currently use Mitsubishi and we have a memory bank we can store numbers and when a code is input on a screen the plc compares it to the entire bank with in the range we set. is there an easy way to do this other than putting a compare for every password we need?

Hey all,  i have one question for you, i am working on designing new hmi for one project in cx designer, how can i import more library and use it in my project .

Hi everyone. I have a problem with adding SCU31 to my existing omron PLC CJ2M. I already modified my CJ2M PLC in IO table. I also already program my NS5. But NS5 didn't communicate with SCU31 and SD1 and RD1 indocator didn't blink. Can anyone help me? Is there any step that I missed? Thank you.

Hello, I am looking for a way to use the OpenFileDialog in VB to be able to select a recipe file to import. I read this forum: and thought that maybe I could access the OpenFileDialog function from the code, but System.Windows.Forms namespace is unavailable.  Is there any other way to access the dialog box to let the user select a file? I am using Sysmac Studio with an NA5 series HMI. Thank you for your help.

Has anyone been able to produce screenshots of an NA project via File/Print menu option on Sysmac Studio? All this does for me is produce an image of a page showing objects or controls on the page itself, but it does not include anything from pages that are setup as 'background' for the page. This makes producing documentation a real pain. Am I missing something? Thanks for any help.

Hello, I want to ask if anyone have experience on this. So I want to mount C200H-LK401 combined with CS1 PLC. But the PC Link communication is meant to be done with another C200H PLC using C200H-LK401 also. Now the thing is, in CS1 PLC, LR Address Area is converted to CIO 1000 and so on. Will the PC Link still works to C200H? Like CIO 1000 from CS1 will be mapped to LR0 in the other C200H. Thanks in advance

Dear, i am doing one project on Omron PLC with VB.net.  i am using Ethernet communication  with  VB to PLC but i am unable to show analog value on VB page please guide me how to get data of analog value in vb and show in VB.net for DI/DO i am using CIO &H0  forreading   and  &H1 for write but for analog value how i will show on VB.net.

My intention is create a visual basic program with access (or excel), if possible with a Cold link (so I wake up when I need data only). See if you can orientate me about the best way and solve my doubts. I am pretty new to all this. I have several Allan-bradley plc’s in the Ethernet network. Several PC’s with windows 8 and excel/acces in the latests versions I have a server in the net where I have installed RSLINX gateway version. I have created a topic and I can see the PLC variables in there OK. In rslinx  commnications -> I have set the click “enable rslinx classic gateway” I have run the OPC test client and it works OK according to some test Ihave found in google 8so OPC/DDE server is active etc) I want to retrieve Data in My PC from the rslinx that is in that server called BCNA08. I have colleagues that know how to run the EDIT ->copyDDE/OPC link and create a HOT LINK in excel in the same computer for other versions of rslinx (lite I believe) that they had for tests purposes. So I try the same but of course it does not work for a PC that is nor running RSlinx. My Rslinx is in BCNA08. How can I set a hot link (excel continuos update) and cold link (visual basic open/close communication). Any help or suggestions will be welcomed. Any good link to learn more too.

Hi.  When i activate adress H417.14 in the PLC i want the system adress LB9012 to be activated. Do I need to make a macro to do this? I have never used macro before, and I do not know how it works.  Please let me know if you have some solutions.  For the record I am an apprentice, and neither me or my co-workers have an sollution.   

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.    

Looks like the NX-DA2603 can be configured to be 1-5V. Default is -10 to 10V. I cant find a way to change the range. Any ideas. Thanks,
