Posted 23 Sep 2015 I am a student in a industrial maintenance class. some of the other students struggle with Omron because all the info in our textbooks is based off of AB. I was wondering if anyone had a instruction conversion list from AB to Omron? any help would be appreciated! thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 23 Sep 2015 There's no real conversion list or conversion capability between vendors. Which AB? Which Omron? That makes a big difference in the comparison of the products. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 23 Sep 2015 SLC 500 and micrologix 1500 and our omrons are CP1L-E's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 23 Sep 2015 Those platforms are quite similar. As Crossbow has stated, there is no conversion list. You'll have to know what the instruction is doing then find the comparable one in the other PLC. Most of them will be easy. You should give it a shot then post back when you get stumped. Many here will be glad to help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 23 Sep 2015 The Omron programming manuals are available in PDF format from here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 23 Sep 2015 basic instructions (NO and NC contact, MOV etc.) are same in all PLCs, advanced instructions are different in all of them. each PLC will have matching instruction set and programming manual. before you can start programming you need to learn about different types of memory and what is available on particular product (bit, integer, timer, counter, etc. then retentive or not) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 24 Sep 2015 we were programming and learning on the fly. the only thing I couldn't find was a instruction similar to a sequencer output from logix 500. thanks for the link I just gave it to all my classmates! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
