The "connection status" type member is included in the tag datatype, but how to refer it in the ladder logic, to know the connection is up?

Great thanks! This helped. I rarely work with AB, and never had to do this before.

I am configuring Omron NX-EIC202 Ethernet/IP coupler as Generic Ethernet module for CompactLogix. Everything is OK, until there is a coupler with inputs only. Studio5000 does not allow zero size assembly instances. The W536 Manual of NX-EIC202 mentions assembly instance C5 "Heart beat instance for input only connection", but not its size. What should be the Output Assembly Instance and its size? Any help will be highly appreciated.

Hello everyone. I am configuring Omron NX-EIC202 Ethernet/IP coupler as Generic Ethernet module for CompactLogix. Everything is OK, until there is a coupler with inputs only.

Do you realize you are posting this in OMRON forum, not Mitsubishi?

Cannot get your point. If FB receives a variable value from the Input, processes it and writes the result via the Output to the same variable, on the next scan the Input will receive it modified (either by this FB last execution or by the "calling program"). Why should it "have it's original value not the value the main routine modified it to"?

Why would all these complications be necessary? What's wrong with simply defining the FB Inputs and Outputs separately, instead of InOuts? They tried doing this in Sysmac Studio. The result is a terrible interface, imo. Generally terrible, not specifically in the sense of FBs.

The project is in the default folder. v11 mer file was restored without version conversion, but in v13 FTView. Actually, the version is specified when creating a mer file, not when restoring. Any idea what may be a missing component from the HMI Server?

The services are running. Rebooted the PC and reinstalled FTView several times. Still the same. Did not try manual renaming, need to make it work normally. The question remains open. Probably, it has something with the original file being from another computer.

Hi everyone. I have FTView ME project restored from mer file copied from another computer. The FTView Studio is v13 and the project is v11. I can edit the project and compile it into functional mer file. However, the Application Manager refuses to rename or copy the application, and pops up "HMIServer could not be located" error. The other reasons listed in the message are not the case. What am I missing?

EIP connection errors do not stop the PLC program execution. Let the program detect EIP error(s) and perform the necessary actions.

Can you post your test code?

The counter contact activates if the present value become equal to the set value as a result of counting. It will not activate if either value was forcibly set to match another one.

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

So, with or without Gateway?
