Omron ZEN Diagnostics tool

[Guest Korhan Kaya]

Hello Everybody, I am developing a diagnostic / protocol test tool for Omron Zen series , I currently have ZEN_Communitcation_Protocol.pdf as documentation. It is quite helpfull but document still lack data about some valuable info such as Code per instruction type and its field details on SV Write command and as well as in other commands too. Document also refferers to non extisting topics such as "See “Object Code & Ladder Processing Specifications” for the specified format of each instruction type." I also tried to find the Keigo Kimura (which seems to be the writer of the document :) on the net but it was not possible. if anyone wants to have a peek at the very early version , here it is omrontest.zip I would be very grateful if anyone supplies information or any documentation on Omron Zen Protocol. Best Regards, Korhan Kaya Edited 9 Aug 2004 by Korhan Kaya
