Posted 11 Feb 2004 :-p Hello to everyone, I have used AB PLC's until today. I am missing to use again. But some peoples loves Omron. Now I'm preparing to use CQM1H-CPU21 and NT31 Operator panel. I started to read all documentataions of Omron's. But, these are more than 5000pages. Therefore, I kindly ask you to inform/send me an example or exlanation for comminication between CPU21 and NT 31. I understood that some DW's has to set for comminication in the CPU for NT 31 I read n+3 words(CPU-->NT31) and m+2 words (NT31-->CPU)....... Unfortunately, I did not understand correctly.

Posted 12 Feb 2004 These DMs are set up as PT Control and PT Notify areas of memory in the PLC: PT Control - n+3 words(CPU-->NT31) This area is used by the PLC to Control the NT31. For example, word n is used to control what page or screen is dispayed on the NT#1. If word n=3 then the NT31 will display screen 3. PT Notify - m+2 words (NT31-->CPU) This area is used by the NT31 to Notify or tell the PLC that some action has happened on the touchscreen. For example, word m is used to notify or tell the PLC the number of the numeral object which is currently being changed by the operator of the touchscreen.
