I am trying to set up a string compare [ $= "Text" D### ] . But it's not passing when it should. So i tried pushing the string to a place holder register [ $= D###1 D##2 ], but its still not matching, but when i just do a double compare [ d= D##1 D##2 ] it passes. How is my string failing but the numbers obviously match? Struggling to get picture to attach. Please see here for example. https://imgur.com/a/w1ckk64

Hi, I have basic experience with PLCs but have a degree in electrical engineering. I have landed a job which requires me to advance my plc knowledge. I am based within the UK and need some advice on how to go about a solution to a problem. The site I am doing this for needs a site managment system. The site is within food production, this would be monitoring of mostly trips and faults within a wide range of industrial equipment (Pumps, compressors, fridges). The site is mostly Mitsubishi and would like one centralised portal within the workshop to view all of the equipment availability. Thank you.

Hello everyone, I have a Panelview plus 600 ( I know it’s old but I’m trying to get it to work). It’s on a yogurt bucket filler, I don't have any application to run or to do anything. What software do I need on a computer to be able to transfer it to the panelview. Is this even possible? There is nothing in the memory right now but how to I program it and what program do I use? I’m in the Los Angeles area and even willing to pay for someone to come and do it. I need to get this to work, thank you so much.

Please help how to fix connection loss when mitsubishi has 2 inverters with QJ71C24N CH2 module -
Hi, One of my employee just factory reset our main HMI Panel, we don't have the latest backup. Is there a way even paid to connect to the device (KTP1200 Basic) and restore the latest version? Maybe there is a few days where the data is still available on the device and we can take a pc and try to get it back?? Thanks

Hi, guys.I am struggling to develop a solution for a costumer in a Historical Alarm Viewer screen, I am new to Cimplicity and to database supervisory interface. Among other things, the customer is asking to:- Change the "A"; "R"; "G"; "N" notations under "log_action" column to somenthing more intuitive for the users (operation). Please have a look at the image "image.jpg";-Change the point manager process "MASTER_PTMR0_RP" log under "logged_by" column to the user that is currently logged in. Specificaly saying, when I send a command (changing a setpoint or issue a reset command, for example), although it is the user acting, the historical alarm viewer logs the action as "MASTER_PTMR_RP". I Imagine that is because this process is reponsable for exchange point data to/from the IHM points database, but it is still essential to the system administrator to know which user sent that reset command or changed the variable setpoint.The log inputs at the image "image.jpg" has boolean and integer commands (".CXX" sufix);-Log into the historical alarm viewer if the user logs out and what user logged in.It is valid to mention that I am using the ALARM_LOG table (apparently it is the only table working with the application, DATA_LOG, EM_LOG and the others simply do not work, they don't show any column at all, honestly I don't know why).I tried to use Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio to edit the table information, but, somehow, it seems to be blocked to edition.I imagine they are some specific configurations, but I have no idea on how to acomplish them. Maybe if I could use other tables would fulfill the requirements, but , like I said, they are not working (right now I am trying to re-configure the Database Logger from the beggingin to see if it works with other tables).If you could give me some inisights on how to change these settings I would be very grateful. I will be happy to give more information if needed.Thanks in advance.

I have been attempting to connect to connect to a couple of PLC's that are in some of our slide gate conveyors (CTI). I do not have a lot of experience with PLCs. Took a class on it a few years back, but haven't had much hands on experience since. So last year we had a technician come in and add a rung to the program of the CPM2A that allowed the PCB to hold at the out sensor and for the incoming machine to not accept the board until the conveyor is fully extended. What I was tasked with was checking the program in the CPM2A and applying that additional rung to the CPM1A on the other line. Unfortunately I cannot connect to the 1A and when I attempt to connect to the 2A it tells me that I am trying to connect to a CQM1 instead, but that's not what the PLC physically shows it being. I have the CS1W-CIF31 cable and the CPM1-CIF01 as well. I am using the correct port (COMM4). Port settings are 9600, 8, even, 2. In CX-Programmer, I am clicking New > Device type (CPM2A) > Network (toolbus).... When i connect to the 2A it tells me its a CQM1... SO when I change the settings to that one and compile the program it shows me a very weird program. Doesn't seem to have any real instructions. Maybe I don't understand the program? When I try to connect to the CPM1A-30CDR-A-V1 I just get a failed to connect every time. I Open CX-Programmer, New, Device type (CPM1A), Change CPU settings to CPU30, toolbus, etc.... Failed to connect. I have been trying to figure this out for a few days now and haven't gotten very far. I have tried to connect with Omron and haven't gotten far from there. Any Help will be appreciated, I'm very noobish sorry lol

I saved a project I am working on, had to conver it before I saved? Came back to make edits and when I went to add a new rung it come up with this error? Any fixes? Many thanks, Sean

A little background information here, I am trying to create a moving average so I accomplished it with the code (imaged attached) The problem i am having is the AVE instruction error bit goes true. it leaved me with a result of 1.#QAN I did some googling and it said this is typically done when dividing by zero?? so i added a NEQ to 0 prior to loading the array. then it happened again. so i put the error bit in front of the FFL so it will stop loading the array when i get the error bit so i can see what values are in the array when it errors out. Has anyone else had this issue and what could you do to resolve it? I haven't had any luck find something that points me in the right direction. Thanks in advance for your help.

Once agin hello all, im pretty sure, that in the past i found in some manual special relay (SB????), that was set on when PLC was executing RIWT instruction. Now im trying to find once again, but with no luck, ive searched through all manuals that looked relevant, but nothing... any help will be highly appreciated.

Hello Ladies and Gents, Im quite new to working with Omron. I am struggling very much to get online with an Omron CPM2C-S110C. It has a CIF01 card also. I hear this PLC is quite an old one. I have referenced the manual on 'connecting a computer running support software' and double checked I have the correct cables. The ones I am using and the way I am connecting is:- PLC Peripheral slot >> CS1W-CN118 >> XW2Z-200S-CV >> serial to USB >> Laptop Checking on Device Manager, I have all the drivers installed, the comms ports are correctly numbered yet I still cannot connect. There are 4 dip switches on the top right hand side of the CPU and all are swiched off. I have called Omron Tech Support and they said to ignore them in this instance. The RS232C port on the CIF01 is used by a barcode scanner so there is no means to connect through that (I have been told) I feel that I have been through setting and checked in CX-Programmer and nothing looks obscure. Please offer me any ideas you may have. I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

I have a customer that has a LS Master K PLC, and he needs me to make some changes to the program. I am not the original program writer so I do not have the original program nor the password. And the company that originally made this program does not exist anymore. Does anyone have any suggestions on a software or a device that can help me either find the password or just bypass it. I need help ASAP Please!!!!! I saw there is a password breaker while i was googling, but the software cost $50, and it looked a little sketchy so I am kind of hesitant to trust 1 purchasing the software and 2 downloading it only my work laptop. Please help!!

Hello everyone, I'm a student who recently started programming, and I could really use some help. I have a CPU-31 CJ2M OMRON PLC and a ADO41-v1 analogic card. I need help programming an analogic scale with a bipolar signal -10V to +10V to then control a drive, which will then control the motor. If anyone could help me out of give me some examples I'd be really thankfull. Thanks!

Hi there, just need a little help, I’m very interested to learn all about plcs, I know the basics and I know how to wire them, programming them is the hard bit! Ive got an FxOS MR30 from work, to play around with, I know I also need Gx developer also, my question is, could I use gx developer “micro fx “ for this? It seems to be a lot cheaper than the normal go developer.http://ie.farnell.com/mitsubishi/gx-developer-fx/software-micro-fx-plc/dp/3825577 any help with this would be great thanks

Any new tags I add in studio 5000 the HMI project shortcut cannot locate the tags, it says unresolved route to processor. It's the same shortcut all of the other tags are using. Please help.

I need a program that will utilize 4 Banner Lights. They each have 3 colors except for the one on the top it has 5.... I need each to be on together, but I want the output color to be randomized. I'm brand new to PLC's and would like to use RSLogix 5000, this will be a giant help for me to play with and alter to further my learning. Thanks. Using 16 Outputs, but only 14 are used. Ive thought about an array possibly, but this is my first time trying to write code on 5000 ive used 500 in the past, and the whole tags thing is weird to me. -
Hi ,Im a Electronic Technic in a Molding Factory and i have a problem with one of the machines because is suddenly stoping of execute the code without reason,i tough that was the hmi was is working well.

Hi Everyone, I'm working on my first PLC program and I have gotten my hands on some ladder logic I'm trying to duplicate. I'm using SoMachine 4.1 and have started a new Ladder Logic diagram POU. I'm curious on how do I create internal contacts. EXAMPLE: 24v--------l START BUTTON l----------------( COIL A)----- --------------l COIL A CONTACT 1; attached to a real output, solenoid valvel-------------l COIL A INTERNAL CONTACT TO CLOSE l---------------- Are there standards for numbering and labeling? I'm seeing L and U inside coil contacts. Does this have an underlying meaning according to standard? Is there a RTO function inside SoMachine 4.1 -
Hello, I am sorry I am sure this has been asked before but I did some searching and didn't find much. I have no experience with PLC's and my manager has suggested I take some classes to fill a void in our team's skill set. We use Allen Bradley PLC's and have a seat of RSlogix5000. I hope to learn how to modify existing programs for some of our test equipment. I want to add sensors to some existing test equipment and record data generated by these sensors. My question for this group is If you were just getting started and you had a budget for a week of training what classes would you take? Where would you take them? My manger and I realize a week of training may barely scratch the surface. Is Allen Bradley's training worth the time and money for travel? Is there local 3rd party training I can find in the Cleveland area that teaches RSlogix5000? I am thinking about the below courses. CCP146 Conrtol Logix 5000 System Fundementals http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/pp/gmst10-pp185_-en-e.pdf and CCP 151 Basic Ladder logic http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/pp/gmst10-pp189_-en-e.pdf Also what is the difference between RSlogix 5000 and RSlogix 500?

Hi everyone, Recently, I started working with the Micro820 Controller Embedded I/O. My project is simple : when the output _IO_EM_DO_00 is set to true, an LED light turns on. But, even though it's super simple, I can't make it work. Here's my setup. If you need more information, feel free to ask anything !

I'm looking for some general information about different types of vibration/temperature sensors. What type, brand, model number, etc. will best fit my application. Scenario: I want to monitor the vibration and temperature of multiple motors and gearboxes for a large overhead conveyor system. If an oil leak occurs and temperature increases, I want to see a temp. alert via a HMI. If a something mechanical fails, I want to see a vibration alert via a HMI. I've looked into sensors that stick to the outside housing of the motors or gearboxes via a magnet. My concern is justifying the temperature readings. How accurate would a sensor that reads an "ambient" temperature be (compared to a thermocouple on the motor coil itself or some sort of probe)? Also, would the location of the magnet on the motor or gearbox drastically affect the temp. or vib. readings? Has anyone had success with a similar setup? If so, what devices did you utilize? Are these systems truly beneficial? I'm currently considering Banner's wireless products...

Hello I want to do automatic weighing with the information from 0-10V LoadCell card on FX2N-4AD analog card. I tried to do the current program by using help manual from the user manual. LoadCell is connected to the reservoir by means of 2 pistons. For example, we want to package 50kg product. For this, we should make 1piston setting 45kg. 2.piston 1.Piston is closed and when it is 50kg, FX2N-4AD.rar

Didnt know this before but should have anticipated it, I cant put 8 hours into say a TON or a TOF, etc. Only goes up to 2880 seconds, .8 of an hour. What would be the best way to go about this?
