Thanks very much Mickey!

Hi I uploaded tia portal v13 project from ET200S cpu, the uploaded project now is without tags. i asked engineers and the answer was that: during project downloading ,the tags stay in original project file, not downloaded to s7 300/400 families CPUs. Now all the tag names are useless in this project as they are not downloaded to cpu. So will it be problem for compile and re-download the uploaded project back to cpu? Will it be OK for hmi to communicate with plc using absolute addressing only? I don't have the original project files of both HMI and PLC Thanks

Hi, Say I have a custom AOI with the tag 'CV323' and it is declared as my custom datatype. Is it possible to use that tag as a String inside my AOI so I can make concatenations like 'CV323 ON' and 'CV323 OFF' that are available to an HMI? I know I can declare a string with a near similar name as an in/out and type it in but would prefer just to use the AOI name. Thanks in advance.

Hi all Thank you all for your supporting and trying to help. I managed to get the plc password, just uploaded the plc project and re-download it, now it's showing normal temperature reading (about 20C) Really I would like to know the reason of this disturb, but as it's running, I'm happy. Thank you

H0U, H1U and H2U are not Mitsubishi, it is Inovance, also as USB cable.

@TonyBB Try this sample program to see if it does what you are looking for. Once a user has logged in successfully, it will show a popup with the user name and then it will automatically close after a set amount of time. Just build and run in simulation. I created some general user levels that you can login with to test the pop-up notification. HMI_Popup.smc2

Q Series is not end of life, no discontinuation of it has been announced. But yes, upgrading to the iQ-R is the proper solution. And for the OP, there is even a rack for the iQ-R Series that allows connection of the older Q Series modules.

I am not aware of a way to make a confirmation dialog like you indicate. Perhaps in a global script you can look for the logged in user name or security level to change.

If the product is old and out of support, then it's old and out of support. No magic we can do to help. Keep in mind DOS based software is likely 30 or more years old. You can't just keep using these legacy devices forever.

Perhaps your spare PLC is bad, because you said you can connect to others and your settings are all correct. So not sure what else it could be besides a failed PLC.

Thank you very much, I appreciate the response.

i mean because just try connect online using "connection test" because this one a spare part so just want to know if can use to replace the others. I also use SC09 but still can't connect.

Not sure what you mean by can this series be used. FX1N is certainly supported by GX Worls2. I have done it using the Mitsubish FX-USB-AW or the SC09 with a Keyspan serial adapter

Yes, already look in the Device Manager and match right port with Gx Works2. Actually other FX series can operate clearly using this cable but only this one got an error messages. And just want to check either this FX series can still be use or not.

Did you look in Device Manager to see which COM port the driver installed as? And then did you set the right port in GX Works2? You don't select USB when using a converter cable. And that's not a Mitsubishi part number for that cable, maybe you need to check with the people you got it from if fixing the COM port settings doesn't work.

I attempted to connect using the H0U H1U H2U Series PLC Programming Cable USB-H2U and GX Works2 software, but received the error notice ES: 0180840b from the MELSOFT application.

That is correct. I did remember the info you gave me a while back 🙂. The only thing I was thinking was that was a way for the PLC to monitor the HMI connection status, because the PLC was triggering the event to run the script, but adept needs the HMI to monitor its own connection state with the PLC and change the value of variables accordingly. Maybe I didn't read it correctly though. That said, if the VBA increments the value of a integer by one, and saves that value to another variable on the HMI (to use as a comparison), the PLC could then do the same, allowing the VBA script (and the PLC) to compare their previous value to the current value, and providing it had changed (ie. been incremented by one), then comms is good, otherwise comms is bad. VBA can run on a 1 second interval (or whatever cycle time is required, allowing for the HMI refresh rate), and the PLC can just have a TON timer with the same time as the HMI interval. Which eliminates the issue of having to synchronise time clocks too.

Internet search for "omron cx-one sap" brings the answer in the very first result.

Let's start with SM's, they are System Memory bits. In the 1200 you need to enable System memory bits and Clock Memory bits in the CPU properties. You need to check from the S7-200 system manual to see How can you avoid overwriting the flags that are allocated for system and clock memory bits in the user program? Variable Memory Area: V, in a 1200 you can use DB's when you are migrating a program. Siemens user forum has a lot of topics about migration from S7200 -> S7-1200. PS, all of this is documented in the S7-200 system manual, you could of find there what the V memory area is and what SM0.0 is.

HI Everyone, I am new here and I just started learning Sysmac Studio lately. I have two issues that I would like to solve which I hope isn't too hard as a beginner 1. I'm trying to make a pop-up screen saying "log in successful" appear once a user successfully logs in on the NA HMI. I know how to create the pop-up screen and write a subroutine for this, but I can't seem to find a condition to make this pop-up screen appears once a user logs in. I tried to create a login button and tried to create an event when a user "Release" the button but that doesn't seem to work. 2. I'm not sure how to make a pop-up screen appear for a few seconds then automatically closes. I tried the following code and the pop-up screen is not showing up at all: showpage("Page1000_AddUserFail") System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000) 'ClosePage("Page1000_AddUserFail") Thanks

Hi everyone! At the moment I'm rewriting one program from S7-200 Step7-Microwin to the new S7-1200 TIA portal, and I'm little bit confused with some elements conversion. I have a memory addresses types in MicroWIN like VD120 or whatever VD0 addresses and don't know, how to rewrite them in TIA portal. Also I don't know how to assign SM0.0 (special memory addresses). They response for subroutine execution in my program. Can anyone give some suggestions to that? Thank You in advance

Hello unfortunately I have a problem on cx one that when opening cx programmer tells me that the execution cannot continue because OSlicence.dll was not found and to reinstall the software. when I reinstall it it does not let me install because it tells me that SAP is already installed on the computer and to continue with the installation of cx common tool I have to uninstall sap. What is SAP? Can anyone help me? Thank you

Ciao purtroppo ho un problema su cx one che all'apertura di cx programmer mi dice che l'esecuzione non può proseguire perchè OSlicence.dll non è stato trovato e di reinstallare il software. quando lo reinstallo non mi fa installare perchè mi dice che sul computer è gia installato SAP e per continuare con l'installazione di cx common tool devo disinstallare sap. cosa è sap? qualcuno può aiutarmi? grazie

I've never used Kuka robots but my search results yielded this thread. @panic mode states: All KUKA device description files are installed with WorkVisual: C:\Program Files (x86)\KUKA\WorkVisual 4.0\DeviceDescriptions https://mrplc.com/forums/topic/32858-nj-to-kuka-el6695-ethercat-bridge-secondary-side/ In short, almost all device ESI files will come from the device manufacturer.

Serial Communication RS232, There is no power cable linked with the communication cable, We have tried by laying the cable outside the control panel from HMI to PLC
