Posted 1 Dec 2022 I am having a problem with an existing PLC. The type is CJ2H-CPU66-EIP. Whenever I click on the IO Table and Unit Setup, I get this pop-up dialog box telling me to install the CPS file for the PLC. I can open the IO table but something is not right. The built-in EIP port isn't showing and the serial card at slot 00 doesn't show the settings when I click on it. It only asks me which unit type it is. This seems to have started when we added a serial communication card to slot 00. This was done around August 2021 but we haven't had to use the needed ports until now. The problem is we can't set the parameters using the IO table. How did it get like this and how do I fix it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 1 Dec 2022 CPS files go way back, current versions of CX-Programmer do not use them. If you go to Options, can you Create an IO Table? Processor will need to be in Program mode to do this. gtsuport Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 1 Dec 2022 Have you registered your software? If so, I would try to do an Auto Update. Go to your Start menu, Omron program group. You should have an Omron Automation Software Auto Update option. This will check your installed versions against the update server versions and allow you to update. This will take some time, files are large. gtsuport Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For this reason, I don't have any access to it for applying auto updates (or even registering it). I have to track my own licenses in case IT does an audit. Incredibly frustrating. For now I am going to give up and use the DM areas to see what settings are made and what I have to change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 2 Dec 2022 That sounds like a valid plan. Good Luck! gtsuport 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
