Posted 13 May 2016 Hey, a couple of days ago it worked just fine, they reacted to each other like they were supposed to. but after I uploaded the exact same file (but with 1 extra word button) they don't seem to see each other anymore, I've checked the IP adresses and hardware connections but everything is fine.... whenever I click something on the HMI I keep getting an error which says '' time-out error occurs while downloading by the following case: -disconnection from the cable -Stopped host -Incorrect time-out period allocating host: host3 does anyone here have a solution or any tips for me? kind regards, Deuslupos Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 13 May 2016 the one I added last is the big blue one in the control screen. I was trying to figure out how to use the button. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 13 May 2016 Did you accidentally change your protocol to EtherNet/IP for the host setup? You do not have an EtherNet/IP module on the CJ1M, just an ETN21 (Ethernet). Your comms setup for Host3 probably should look like this: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 13 May 2016 I did that on purpose because the other ones didn't work. (I had contact with the omron helpdesk when I just started using the plc. and this is what they reccomanded. but I'll try the one you set up. thank you:) should the node adress here be the node adress of the HMI screen or the PLC node?

Posted 13 May 2016 oh wait, the one over there hasn't been touched by me, I've been editing this from a file the last intern here made. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 13 May 2016 Just now, deuslupos said: should the node adress here be the node adress of the HMI screen or the PLC node? When configuring the HOST, that is the FINS node number of the PLC. If you click the Ethernet option (just above Host3 in the tree on the left), then you set the HMI IP Address and FINS Network and node numbers there. 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael, any way you could help me out with this different issue? for some reason I can't even transfer to my HMI trough my RS232 cable anymore..... something went terribly wrong :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 23 May 2016 Try using the USB port (Slave). It is much faster anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 23 May 2016 can I just use a normal USB m/m cable to do that or will I need a special one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 23 May 2016 alright, thank you:) I'll give it a shot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
