NS-DESIGNER 5.01E

[BITS N BYTES 66]

Using a CJ1M PLC with an NC-233 position contol unit. Rather than create a custom screen for our position control units we want to use the Smart Active Parts Function within NS-Designer to adjust motion settings. The Smart Active Parts library includes a sub-folder NC_V1-3_E. When I select the NC133_233 folder and click "USE" I get the following message "The Smart Active Parts is upgraded version. Cannot apply it".

Convert the project to Version 5 or higher.

Thanks Jay. Too bad I couldn't find this in the NS manuals! BTW The help function in nearly ALL OMRON applications really SUCK!! They open the front page of the PDF file - "NO HELP" is a better name. In some PDF files the search function doesn't even work [for example try searching for "macro" in V075-E1-03.pdf. 0 Results]. I HATE PDF DOCUMENTATION - Give me that good ole book. On the positive side - without this forum and the many contributors [including yourself] we would be LOST.

If you prefer the book print the pdf file like I do, when I need a printout.
