Hello, I'm new to System Platform and am looking for some advice, or some help solving a problem with one of the show / hide dynamic controls. I'm just struggling due to a lack of experience with this system's architecture and I'm hoping that if I provide snips showing the configs of everything, and the scripts, that someone can provide some insight or advice for how to restore the functionality. Which brings me to the problem statement. This is a navigation bar that has been a part of this set of screens and has worked in the past. The navigation bar is controlled dynamically and had three different sets of buttons used for quick navigation to screens that are most important. The three bars are shown / hid depending on what the current screen is. The whole System Platform was upgraded from version 2014 to version 2020 over the Thanksgiving holiday shutdown. Since then, the navigation bar hasn't been working. It appears that it's always hid now. Please take a look the snips I've attached to demonstrate the navigation bar, what it looks like, how its objects are configured, and how the graphic symbols are set and controlled (animations, custom properties). Also, see the snips related to the dynamic control script and associated tags / objects. I'd appreciate any advice or help. (I'm open to text messaging or phone calls too). Thanks, John Whited +1(740) 260-4569 john_whited@colpal.com

Hi All,Cx-Supervisor, NJ501-1340, Sysmac Gateway.I have been writing an update for a project and converting to this new controller.It's a pretty big project.Using a combination of Ladder and ST.Using Cx-Supervisor 3.5.I created some new Variables in Studio and made them Publish only.Started to create Points in Supervisor and made them I/O connected to the variables in Studio. No problems everything was connecting and working just fine.Then one of the points would not update. I could change it in the PLC and it would not change On the HMI.I deleted it and recreated it and it did the same thing. (sometimes points in Supervisor just stop working and recreating them fixes it).I then copied the control and pasted the old point into it and it did the same. Then other started to fail. Showing no reaction.I stopped the gateway and restarted, no help, I rebuilt the HMI, nope.The can check the tags in Sysmac gateway and they always change when the PLC changes but not the HMI.I checked the point maintenance in Supervisor and it would not change.I dumped all the affected variable in the PLC and in the HMI and recreated them. Then it got stranger.I could change some on the HMI and it would show in the PLC but not the other way.This is on Bools and UINTS.Stopped CX-server, tried using it with Win8 compatibility. nope.Pulling my hair out now. I should be coding but I'm trying to get the apps to work.Any ideas will be used with thanks.Peter

Yesterday one of the guys on the shop floor had a fatal error on a NX PLC. The error code points to a power interruption during program download. From what I hear it wasn't apparent that there was a power outage (maybe I didn't get the full story?). Regardless there was a fatal error and the only option seems to be to clear all memory. We did this but forgot to power cycle so had to do this a few times before we did more reading. After clearing the fatal error, we realized that all retain variable values were cleared. For this we had to manually input some values back into memory to get the machine going again. Is there a way to store retained values into like a spreadsheet? We had to go back to some screenshots that I had taken to put some of our values back. It's ok but not entirely convenient. I remember you can upload the memory values from a CJ2 PLC and keep it as a .mem file. Then you can just download this again to restore the PLC memory values. I don't think the NX PLC has this? I am also reading up now on the NX PLC backup function. It seems like doing a backup will also store the retain variable values. Maybe this is the only way to backup and restore?

Hello, everyone I have to query a SICK distance sensor from an L26CPU via the onboard Ethernet interface. I have created a simple protocol which I start with the function block SP_ECPRTCL. Unfortunately it takes at least 25ms until the next telegram is started. The sensor responds within approx. 1.5ms. Does anyone know whether that works faster or is that a limitation when using the predefined protocols? Sensor manual: OD5000, 8021391 (sick.com) (Chapter 7.4) I am grateful for all the hints. Thanks and regards Dave SICK_Protocol.tpc Messaufbau_vTest.gxw

I am building a redundant system using S7-1515R-2 CPU with TIA V16 version. Creating the hardware, there is not possible to insert any other card to the rack. Even power modules (PM) can not be inserted to the rack. How should I make the power feeding to the CPU. Should I use two power modules/devices or only one. How can I insert IO-cards to the system, is the only possibility to use Profinet IM-cards. In this system I am connecting the bus to the ring and using S2.

Is there any way to monitor ethernet/ip bus, states or faults and to make an alarm to the panel alarmlist. I am using IO-stations (1734-AENTR) and I would like to monitor somehow the system. I feel that reading the slot status of the 1734-AENTR device is not enough, because it is not possible to monitor all the cards in a slot. How to get alarm on a screen if I lose any station on the ethernet/ip bus?

Hi Everyone, I have NT31C-ST142-V2 and it has a prompt of "System Program not exist or incorrect." I am trying to transfer via NT Series System Installer but I am getting a time-out error. I have Xm2S-09 serial cable with ATEN serial-to-USB cable.I know it is not broken since I can still Upload/download on a CJ2 PLC. I just want to know what other things I can do upload a systemprogram. I have seen a comment on this site that he remove the battery then tried to upload again. NT is almost 15 years old. I have a back-up program. I can't seem to upload by this time for pictures of theH MI and the screenshots of software .

Copy array element to member of a structure
Famous_Fella posted a topic in NJ Series / Sysmac Studio
Hello, In my ladder program I have 7 different arrays (containing REAL values) all members of a structure and I wish to extract certain values from the arrays and put them on another structure consisting of REAL values (not arrays). Which is the best way to do that ? I tried AryMove command but I get an error "Conversion from REAL to ANY_ELEMENTARY[], ENUM[], STRUCT[] is impossible. To get a better understanding of my structures and arrays here is an example: Struct wheel_data Global variable SWheel of wheel_data rad[1...10] of real, vary[1...10] of real, varx[1...10] of real struct. 2 wheel Global variable Wheel1, .... , wheel10 of wheel rad REAL, vary REAL, varx REAL what I wish to do is to copy Swheel.rad[1] to wheel1.rad, Swheel.vary[1] to wheel1.vary, Swheel.varx[1] to wheel1.varx 2nd structure Swheel.rad[2] to wheel2.rad, Swheel.vary[2] to wheel2.vary, Swheel.varx[2] to wheel2.varx until I fill all 10 wheel structure instances with values Thanks in advance. -
Still learning Sysmac Studio......how do I gain access to System Variables like 'PageIndex" so my PLC can be notified what Page the HMI is on? Also, how can I execute an 'Acknowledge All' from the PLC so I can reset the 'Alarm Viewer Popup' from my PLC? Thanks,

I'm having trouble specifying a memory location using the AT specification for an array in the Global Variable tab. I've tried a number of different ways to do so, and searched around online but haven't been able to find anything about how to do this. All I have to go from is the rather cryptic "AT specifications are specified separately for each variable. Set them for all elements and members of array, structure, and union variables." from page 6-62 of the Software User's Manual (W501). That seems to imply that it can be done somehow, but I am not sure how. Right now I have created array elements as independent variables, and then use a FOR loop with a CASE statement to put the proper variable into the array for use later in the program. This doesn't seem particularly efficient, and I have to imagine there is a better way. Any advice on this is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi all, I am trying to update the firmware of a NS12-TS01B-V2. I have downloaded the RecoverUpdate_8_95.exe (and someothers) from the myomron website. I have followed the instrucctions PDF, but when I switch on the HMI with the Compact Flash inserted, nothing happens: the screen is dark and the led is lit orange (not blinking). The compact flash is 1GB (not omron) and formated using a CJ2. I have been using this card in OMRON PLCs and HMIs for years without problems. I read in other topic than I guy had similar problems and he solved it using other computer and other unzipper program. I have tried it, but it did not work. After that, I tried to update it using the DIP switches, but I got more problems, because I got a Warning first, and later an Error, because I forced the installation of the Firmware of the NS8 (BANK1) instead of the NS12. However, the other BANK folder contains the FW for the NS5... Anyway, I could fix this error because previously I did a backup of the already installed system (V7.0). I would like to ask you to send me a BackUp of another NS12, using the "Manual Transfer", that should works. I need the 8.20 version or higher. Thanks a lot. My email is hector.moreno.lax@gmail.com

Hello all. I posted earlier in the week regarding downloading new code to an Omron PLC, but I think the question was a bit vague. As a follow up, and hopefully to clarify, I have the following query. I have created an upgraded program which will be downloaded by field techs using memory cassettes. The revised area of code is essentially a Function Block which amends service lamp behaviour, and in creating it, I have amended the existing function block and added new Internal variables. Is there any way I can ensure that the new variables don''t over write or move the existing variables in the PLC, because this is what is happening when I download it. HELP!!!!!!!!!

Rotation animation in Factory talk view
Lakshmi posted a topic in Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation
Helo All, Thanks for your support on my previous quiry. Iam now facing an issue with rotation animation of a motor in factory talk view. I have a screen containing 5 motors and good number of numerical displays. Numerical displays need to be updated just every seconds ,so i changed screen updation rate in SCADA as 1, changing so decreased my motor rotation speed. so do i have any other option to change motor animation fast keeping numerical display screen updation rate as 1 second?? i have used the tag syste/blinkfast -
