NT20S-ST121-EV3 System display program rollback

$
0
0

Hello,
I'm not sure if I should make some presentation first but as time is always short i'll just expose the doubt.
Unfortunately because of a technician misunderstanding I ended resetting/erasing the PT software after a full memory error.
The SW2 switch 1 was used and the system screen data program was erased instead of the program client data.
So all the screens menus buttons etc were lost.
Unfortunately there was no copy of the application but a similar machine was found were a different screen (NT21-ST121-E) was installed and by luck the programmer technician used the same file from the machine I'm dealing with.
I suppose he might have done some modifications to make that machine able to deal with the same and different objects too. But the base menu screens seem exactly the same.
In fact the screen buttons appear to be miss aligned as for a smaller screen, so for sure He used the same application.

Now the problem is that the NT- Series Support Tool 4.82 only allow auto-conversion of the applications to a recent model.
Example, if a make a NT20S application and change the PT type to NT21 it asks for conversion confirmation and all goes ok. (It will need to set Clock Address that I don't know which to chose). But this Is not what is the problem.
Problem is that after uploading the application from the NT21 of the other machine to the NT Tool, I can't just download it to the NT20S PT.
And if I go to the PT configuration menu it will only allow me to chose another higher model of hardware. Earlier hardware models won't even show in the list.

Is there any tool I can use to convert back the NT21 application to the NT20S?
 

Regards.

Greetings Gentlemen. I am new to PLC’s and learning with a CJ1M-22 and CX-Programmer 3. I have created a I/O fatal error (80E0) that I can not clear. Is there some way to reset to factory defaults? How do I get back to square one? Humbly, Bill V.

The OPC Server for Omron Controllers

$

Good day to all forum members.

As you know, Omron controllers support FINS, the protocol of its own development. Despite the protocol is high-functional and well thought-out, few of SCADA systems support the protocol at the driver level, and therefore the main manner of connection of such controllers to SCADA systems is an OPC server. We want to offer participants to try our OPC server for the FINS protocol.
Our OPC server supports the following standards: OPC DA 2.05, OPC HDA 1.2 and OPC UA (transfer of archives is supported too).
The protocols FINS Ethernet and FINS Serial are supported, and this allows you to connect various modifications of Omron controllers, both with and without Ethernet cards.
The OPC server contains the convenient utility of import from a file formed by CX-Programmer, and this simplifies configuring the server.
There are the following modifications of the OPC server:
- Demo version (full-featured, 1 hour continuous operation in the runtime mode)
- Free version (32 tags at the most)
You can download the trial version here:
In addition to the OPC server for the FINS protocol, we also support such protocols as Modbus, Profinet, Bacnet, IEC 60870-5-104, IEC61850 and SNMP.
 
We would love to hear feedback and feature requests to our products.

windows 7 ultimate and usb driver

Hello, When i installed cx-one on my pc , win7/64 went OK with no errors. I assume it did installed as 32 bits because is listed in the program files (x86) When i connect a PLC - cp1l in particular i have, windows does not find the driver. I pointed to the usb folder in the omron directory, but no luck. It works under windows xp fine, but in windows 7 /64 bits does not. When i try to manualy select the inf file , i get an error, that drivers are for 32 bits windows and not for 64. I cheked with FTDI, which have 64 bits driver, but they do not work with Omron. Omron, used its own signature on the driver so it not install a diferent driver. Does anybody has 64 bits usb drivers for Omron ? If yes, please point wher to download them Thank you Ion

Connecting to a OMRON PLC

I can't seem to connect to a OMRON SYSMAC CJ1M CPU11 PLC. I'm fairly certain that the driver is installed, but when I connect the cable and look at device manager, I don't see it assigned a specific port. I do have a CX-Server Driver Mgt Tool as one of my choices in control panel folder. When I start it up and pick the driver it asks me if I want to uninstall the driver. So that is why I said I was fairly certain I had the correct driver installed. I am using an XP virtual machine to connect to this, it is running SP3, since the latest version of software 6.1 I'm using the CS1W-CIF31 and XM2S-09 cables and connecting to the peripheral port. I've tried using the auto connect feature in CX-Programmer to no avail, can anyone help?

How can I simulate CP1L-E & NB HMI?

Sorry for polluting the internet; I already posted this on plctalk. Then I remembered there are more Omron experts over here, including @Jay Anthony who I've worked with before.

Anyway, here goes...

I am trying to write a program in CX-programmer and a UI in NB-designer, and simulate both in communication with each other. My previous Omron HMI experience has been in CX-designer, which interfaces seamlessly into CX-programmer and I can simulate both at once easily. This NB application has me confounded. I tried using the CX-simulator and was able to connect CX-programmer to it, but not NB designer.

Is this even possible?

Programming Analog Outputs - Problems

$

Hi All,

I've been perusing this forum and I've seen this topic covered before, but I still can't make heads or tails of how to do it still. I'm trying to vary an analog output 10v signal to talk to a VFD according to how much time a certain input bit is energized. Currently I have it set up as a totalising timer, trying to move the PV into a word so I can use it to scale an appropriate output. The trouble is, I'm not having any luck getting the output to do much of anything. No errors show up.

For reference, I'm using a CJ2M CPU 12 PLC and the output I'm trying to program is a DA042V, its in slot 05 of the main rack. I'm trying to scale a 0-20 time to a 0-10V signal out.

I used to have a problem and I was getting ~-.5V out of output 1, but I enabled a bit and now it's hanging out at 0V. Clearly I did something right.

Any help would be much appreciated. I'm sure it's something silly, and I'm new at OMRON PLCs.

Why TXD(236) doesn't work, but RXD(235) works

Hi,

In the attachment there is my code. 

Setup is set correctly, because when I send data from PC to PLC everything works (data is read and LED Comm blinks),

The problem is with TXD. After startup A392.05 is ON when I execute rung no LED blink either no data comes to PC and  A392.05 become OFF until f.e A526.00 set to ON

Any idea why data is not send from PLC?  HMM

CP1H does not support STRING data type in ST?

$

I am playing with sending ASCII string commands back and forth between my CP1H and another device. I learned first how to do it using ladder and now that I'm getting into more advanced stuff (parsing, searching for certain chars, converting to INT, ect) I want to do it in Structured Text because the ladder for this gets hard to follow. My very first experiment (count string length) throws an error at me:

1.png.50e1d7f8296eb3eb181d254a7b69a1d2.p

It apparent takes exception that I've use the "STRING" data type

2.png.de2dba5bd474dd20984e2a731cdc9017.p

 

But it this works just fine in ladder:

3.png.e0960232f729ffd5397da03edea56e8f.p

 

So am I really not allowed to use STRING data type in ST on CP1H or am I doing something wrong?

Omron CJ2M - Wago remote I/O

$

Hi there,

I’m not sure how familiar most of you are with Wago remote I/O, but I hope you may have some solution for the following connection problem I’m having.

I’m working on a project to modernise an old folder collecting machine for which I’m using an Omron CJ2M Cpu33 together with 8 Wago 750-352 remote I/O units over ethernet/ip.

These Wago units all contain two 8DI digital input cards and two 8DO digital output cards alongside a 750-610 bus power supply card.

Adding them to my network in CX network manager is no problem and all seems to work fine. That is, as long as I don’t physically add the bus power supply card, which I need to, well.. power the Wago bus.

Soon as I add this card (which was in place while making all the necessary settings to the Wago and Omron units) it just won’t connect. Remove it and it connects like it should.

As far as I know the power supply card has no I/O addresses or other communication functions whatsoever, so I can’t get my head around it.

Even stranger is that when instead of it I add an analog input card, with bus power connections build in, it connects without a problem.

The .eds file only contains info about the main Wago unit, after installing it I should be able to add any kind of I/O card and address them in the Omron software.

Also, the supply card is added and visible as a fifth card in the Wago I/O settings and the I/O status led is green during this error. Therefore I would say the problem is at the Omron side.

Any sugestions?

 

Thanks in advance

Andy - The Netherlands
