  1. Q-Series - Operation Error 4100

    Hi guys. I found error on PLC and from PLC diagnostic I found this Operation Error 4100 as per attach picture. FYI, there is no SD card mount onto this PLC. I wonder what is ATA card. This error wont affect the operation. Any advise on what to check?   This ladder is pop up when I clicked, error jump.   Thanks.
  2. A2SHcpu ROM Error Code 17

    Working with A2SHcpu and something went wrong. Cleared PLC memory and I have an error code 17 (ROM). I don't know how to clear this. I have tried creating a new project and parameters but when I try downloading parameters only it gets to about 13% then says complete. When I read the parameters back from the PLC they have not changed and are still at factory default. There is no memory card that I can see in the processor. Any help or guidance would be much appreciated.
  3. I've setup an Omron NX102 PLC with two CIF105 cards communicating with about 40 MX2 VSD's (20 on each card). Generally it works pretty well. I used the attached document to set up the devices. The links on the document to the examples don't work, so I'm unsure if I missed anything. My problem is that every day, sometimes multiple times a day the communication seems to die. i.e I either loose the output to the VSD and nothing will run. Or it all runs but I loose the feedback, as in I get no running signal even though the drives are running causing a fault in my program. I'm at a bit of a loss as to what might be causing the issue. To resolve it, I put the PLC into program mode and back into run mode and everything is happy again.    Has anyone had a similar issue or offer any advise? MX2_Control_Serial.pdf
  4. Hi all, I have an issue with Mitsubishi GOT Simple Series. After write to GOT, everything okay. All the hmi button functioning well. But after turn off and on the hmi, It will appear "SCREEN ERROR".  Any idea what can I check? 
  5. Hi Everyone,I have a customer that needs a CQM1H (CPU51) replaced. They purchased the processor new-old-stock from a source they found online. It arrived in the original packaging and had the safety label around the top of the unit, so it seems that it is as advertised and no need to suspect that it would have problems. I purchased secondhand, a power supply to attach to it and program it from the bench instead of in the machine. The customer also provided me with an SD card containing the project file(s) for the machine. I am able to load the project in CX-ONE (running on Win 7) just fine. My computer has a native serial port (COM1) and I built a programming cable to work with the DB9 peripheral port according to a diagram I found online.The processor powers up right away with the ERR/ALM continuously on. No other LEDs came on initially, and after a bit of playing around with communications settings, I finally landed the right protocol and my computer seemed to identify the processor correctly. I compiled the source and attempted a transfer to the PLC. I got some failed message (or maybe messages) at the end of the transfer. It did seem to send all of the binary code, it just ended with an error message that I unfortunately didn't write down or grab a screenshot.Anyway, what I have now is a PLC processor with the ERR/ALM LED on always, I've never seen it in RUN mode, and now after the programming attempt, I'm seeing the COMM LED strobing at about a .5sec frequency (with or without a cable attached to the peripheral port), AND I cannot get CX-Programmer to again acknowledge the processor anymore. I'd like to reset this back to the way it arrived to me, but can't figure out how to make that happen offline. The DIP switches don't seem to cause that effect. I should say also that the DIP switch settings are all OFF except 3 and 7.Any help is much appreciated!Thanks,John  
  6. Hi there!   I'm trying to communicate a Weintek cMT2128X with a CP2EN via Ethernet. The thing is I'm getting 'No device response' messages every 2-3 seconds. They'are connected at some point because some values are updated, but the connection error keeps showing up. So far I've checked: - Comm. settings are okay in both sides - Wiring is good - Happens the same with a CJ2 CPU. - There are two arrays of 50 UINT each, I don't know if that's slowing things but that would surprise me...   I've worked with Weintek HMIs before (communicating with different CPUs: LOGO!, CP1, CJ2...) and never had this problem. I just set the IP addresses and everything was working fine, so I guess I'm missing something. Hope you can throw some light at this! Thanks in advance
  7. Hi   I want to look into a program i recieved, but i get this error when trying to open it. Im running the 30day trial atm, but i got the same error when I ran the 1.45 version earlier.   Never used sysmac before, so if anyone has a tip, it would be nice
  8. Hi all , I have been using MELSEC - Q series plc for the past two project i dont find any issue with that but for the third project  used same PLC same model but there is issue which I found unable to resolve  The issue is when i try to communicate PLC using LAN cable by direct ethernet connection it works normally but by communicating using HUB network I cannot communicate, I checked all the parameters setting, I dont know what is the issue even contacted mitshubshi service to troubleshoot but they are not responding  So here i am for your guidence to solve this issue   see the images below to analyse this issue This connection is direct ethernet connection which works normally    The parameters are set and writed to PLC The IP is set to my PC for communication  When i try to find the cpu in the network it shows the cpu IP  After that I checked for connection Test it show error I have also attached the Network route which i used to communicate  Network Drawing.pdf I hope someone will help me to solve this issue Thank you , madhan ravichandran

  10. Hello,   I hope somebody can help me give me hint on where I could look. I do have an MAM command that is throwing error 11. "At least one axis is not configured to a physical motion module ora has not been assigned to a Motion Group." The error message itself is clear but the Servo is running flawless until it suddendly stops doing this (the customer states that it mostly happens after an EStop). The EStop is hardwired via the STO inputs and those are active while the error is shown. So far the only way to reset the error is to shutdown the machine and power it up again. I can't find any errors in the error logs that would hint to dig deeper. Has anyone had this error or knows how to solve this?   PLC: CompactLogix 5370 Servo: Kinetix 5500
  11. Mewnet RS232c

    I wanted to online in FPWIN GR7s to FP-X C30t but it show MEWNET device
  12. I am trying to connect a Panel PC (Bartec RS-422) and an Omron PLC (CJ2H RS-232) I am using a Kinematics 2199 RS232 to RS422 converter. Results: Testing software Multiway v9.5 1) Using a usb to rs-232 cable on another PC     - I am able to send and receive a hostlink commands between the panel rs-422 converter and the PC rs-232. commands come through correctly 2) Using the PC to connect to the PLC     - If I connect directly to the PLC using the usb to serial cable and a short adapter I made to map the Omron PLC pin out 2-2,3-3, 5-9, I can send and receive hostlink commands to the PLC. Everything works as expected 3) Using the Panel and the USB Cable    - If I connect the usb converter to the Panel I am also able to communicate with the PLC 4) using the RS-422 port on the Panel     - If I connect the panel RS-422 port and converter and then connect to the PLC. I can only send commands; I cannot get any responses come through from the PLC. My converter box has LEDs on the RX and TX channels and I can see the PLC tries to send something. But something must be corrupted as multiway does not show and response.  I have tried a bunch of things but I am at a loss on how to diagnose this issue. Since I can get the two PCs talking to each other sending and receiving, I can rule out any wiring issue between the converter box and Panel.  Since I can plug the USB into the Panel and get it to work correctly, I can rule out any operating system issues and PLC configuration issues. The only link I cannot verify is that from the converter box to the PLC, I am not sure if the PLC can push hostlink data that has not been requested.  I have no idea why I can write to the PLC but not read. If anyone can provide any insights, I would greatly appreciate it, It has been two days and I am stuck. I am looking at maybe getting a logic analyzer to try and see what the PLC is sending back, but that will be months away.  I am happy to try any suggestions       
  13. Send data TXD548)

    Hi,   After a long time, searching for missing communication I think to have found the cause. In this CMP2A plc there is a receiving device connected to the RS-232 port. . During operation it can happen that in the same cycle there will be 2 functions to send different data.. I never receive those 2 data,  only 1 is received. I can set a delay for sending this but this seems to be 'overkill', Is there a simpler way to do this..? The 2 pics are part of the program. After putting the P_off before the other transmits, I always receive the TXD(48) DM1621...   Please advise,      
  14. GOT2000_Comset & GOT2000_Slave

    GOT2000_NG_1000.lib NOT FOUND HOW TO SOLVE THIS ? PLEASE HELP.
  15. Hello! I'm currently using NB designer v1.531 (Build 210511) and I'm having compilation errors. It states: Connecting... Connection Error PT HMI0 Compilation error! Cannot create pkg files! I'm have trouble understanding, what does this error mean? I'm not connecting to any HMI, I just want to compile the program and test it offline. The weirdest thing is that if i click "Compile" enough times, it will eventually compile, but this is really interrupting the workflow. Does anybody else have this issue?  
  16. I am trying to setup a CC Link between two machines. I have done this before without issue, but for some reason this is not going well.. I added a second CC link card to CPU2 and set it as ST 24 for the CPU1 network.  CPU 1 : Master.   cc0.jpg.   The original machine was setup using TO/From for each station, so i couldn't add this new link through the GUI.  CPU 2: Local cc1.jpg  When i try to use the GUI to setup this side the buffer stops working. but if i activate any TO/From instruction here i get a system fault with a 2110 SP. Unit Error CPU2 buffer cc2.jpg. But when i block the TO/From you can see the buffer is working at that exact same location specified.    2110 error says I am addressing the wrong card but the buffer proves that I am not. 
  17. Hello, has anyone noticed that plenty (not all) forum posts are changed to quotes from TWControls? What is happening here?  Hopefully only a momentary breakdown  
  18. CP1L Serial TXD Data Error

    Hi, I have a problem with serial communication (no protocol) using rs485 module, the received data is error. I'm using CP1L CPU, CP1W-CIF11 module as transmitter, and USB to RS485 converter as receiver. When I check the received data on PC, it's incorrect (bit error?). I just send 2 bytes data, 0x61 ('a') and 0x62 ('b'). My configuration: DIP switch CPU 4 = off, DIP switch CIF11 1 to 6 = on,on,on,off,off,off, 2 wire RS485. (I also attached the program and settings) https://postimg.cc/gallery/pr293Jc   Could you help me to solve this problem? Thanks   Program and Settings:     Result:   
  19. Serial question

    I have a cell phone modem connected to my Omron CP1L on serial 2   Here is the issue  I need to pull the phone number out of the msg received (receiving text messages)  I receive a text msg and a lot of other crap like time and date ect. RDX says store in D100 the problem is that after I receive the SMS I see the phone number and copy the number to D200 to D2xx The next text comes in and it is added to the length of the previous text and the new phone number is not in the same D area as the first.  It seems the only time the serial port works is if you declare 20 characters and you get 20 characters Works every time. But sometimes I may get 12 characters and other times I can get more than 100. I have used the restart and clear port command with no luck.  If I set RDX to a large number and receive complete will not come on and the next receive will be added to the first.  I need a clear buffer for each receive.  How do I get around this?  If you set the RDX to 10 but 12 characters were received the 2 extra characters will be in the buffer and added to the next receive.  I can’t use end receive if x because there is nothing that is always available in the msg. And even if I do any characters received after end code is left in the buffer and screws up the next receive. I have never seen anything like this. Any ideas? Thanks Rob  
  20. i just got my NX1p2-1140DT controller with a R88D-KN04-ECT. i conneted every thing and directy got the 87 message on the display. i found out dat is becous wrong wiring I dont have the I/o cable incallt with omron they where saying that i don't need it and i can controll the motor controller full via ethercat. i already try to change to pdo mapping. what am i doing wrong? can someone help me? is it indeed true i dont need the i/o cable  thanks in advance for helping.
  21. Array A INT[32] Array Index B INT Destination C INT I am trying to move an Array (A) Element (A[2]) using a symbol (B) in ladder into a destination symbol (C) C = A [ B ] Result: ERROR: Array Index of Operand 1 out of range at rung 1 ( 6, 0 ).  The documentation suggests that it is possible, but I am unsure if there is something I am doing incorrectly. Note* Fixed indexing works with no errors Is there another method to accomplish this?   PLC : CJ2M CPU31 CX- Programmer: Verion 9.74 Update 1: If I go online to the PLC It does look like the array look up is working. Is the issue with the mov block? Update 2: I changed the memory locations which has caused a different error to appear. This error is clearer but does not explain the manual excerpt I posted further up ERROR: Only the constant can be specified for the index of the array.  at rung 5 ( 6, 0 ).  Update 3: Solution 1 I managed to hack together a proof of concept using pointers and indirect offsets  Update 4: Solution 2 For some strange reason things work as expected inside of the function blocks so I made one where the array is In-Out and with an input and output respectively. Note* External reference to pointers inside of the function block produced an error. Function block Logic     Update 5: Solution 3 Now I feel like I am going crazy, I tried just the original code again and it works... I have no idea why and if it was not for all the documentation I would be lost as to why it works now... Update 6: Conclusion It seems to have array indexing work the array index must exist in the D Memory Block. The reason it did not work above is because I somehow had a MOVR block when I tested after moving all the variables to the D Memory Block. I hope this journey helps someone else :)
  22. Serial Port issue

    Sorry its long !! I am recieving text from a GSM modem for text msg Send and receive (SMS) works ok but would be better if I could make use of the start code and end code. This way I could cut down on all the crap that is received when a text arrives. I get this  CMTI: "SM",0 I have it stored into D80 and I have that trigger a TXD that sends AT+CMGRD=0 and that tells the GSM to send the msg (The 0 is the current msg in memory) ------ The problem is that there is Carriage  Return and Line Feeds in the received msg ----      AS below ((AT+CMGRD=0 +CMGRD: "REC UNREAD","+19028991212","","22/10/20,16:57:54-16"  Hello this is the msg  OK)) When the PLC sees the carriage return it stops receiving data. And I have no start code or end code setup. (I am using characters received) The way around this is to set a high  character count in the RXD (More than the actual msg (More than the msg length)   The main issue with that is I get garbage in as the msg gets bigger. Its unreliable. I clear the port after each receive and that helps but still get the odd garbage. (Never get garbage when connected to a terminal prg). Any Ideas???? ps Even the Start Code is unreliable as it will start receiving a few characters late. Rob  
  23. Serial Ports not working

    I have a CP1L-EM and the serial ports - both of them have an issue with the port ready flag will not turn on. Power cycle still no port ready flag In settings both ports are set up as 15200 8N1 CR/LF Verified and power cycled and still no port ready flag. Is there someplace in the PLC where the ports can be disabled? Rob

  25. Hello. I am writing a function block and i am getting the following error: ERROR: STRING type or an Input Output variable is not supported by the PLC of this unit version. Check the unit version in program check options. When i try to remove the string i get error: instruction is not available for current plc Is there somewhere where i can see which instructions i can use? Or is it not the string or one of my in or outputs I am doing something wrong with?   Kind regards, Ralf
