  1. 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.
  2. I have not done this with DeviceNet but I have with EtherNet/IP. I typically perform the messages when communication status is OK. This bit should be in the structure of your DeviceNet master. I've also performed the messages on a periodic basis. Maybe per second or a few seconds.
  3. I would research the available explicit messages. See if there is a configuration 'save' function. If not, I would perform two explicit messages. First message to read the value. If the return value is not equal to your desired value, then write the desired value.
  4. I would have to research the manual more, or perform a test if that is possible. The 16 point module labels the I/O as IN0 through IN15, but the Instance ID parameter begins at 1. So 0x0C may refer to I/O point IN11.
  5. I don't quite understand the question. Page 475 of the DRT2 manual describes each message parameter. The Instance ID will be the output number. https://www.lakewoodautomation.com/support/manuals/Omron/W404E107 DRT2 Series Operation Manual.pdf
  6. Nice! Thank you for posting your solution!
  7. Sorry I did not follow up on this thread. The Line object has a Rotate function in the Animations tab. Set an Integer tag, then increase or decrease the value between 0 and 359.
  8. I've been following this post but had nothing to add since I was yielding the same results. We use Rheonics viscosity meters but the EIP versions were not available when we purchased them about 9 years ago. @Str8jCkt, Was this file available from Rheonics or did you modify the original?
  9. Have you tried adding a Temporary Input object from the Functional Objects menu? Be sure to make an Enter button using the Control Code function (RET, ENT).
  10. If you wish, there is a downloads section here you may submit your example. https://mrplc.com/files/category/10-plc-sample-code/
  11. This is one of most overlooked issues with Omron PLCs. Any PLC Setting change requires a power cycle. Sorry about missing that. I'm glad you got it working!
  12. Is this tag being written to outside of the PIDAT instruction? Possibly for manual control? It can be accessed by "PIDAT_instruction_name.MV" or by it's assigned tag name.

  14. I'm not an expert in FINS communication. I have had trouble in the past with FINS nodes. It may be necessary to use CX Integrator to create your FINS network between the PLCs. Here are instructions for creating a network between an Omron PLC and Omron NS touch screen. Modify these instructions to include your two PLCs. I don't have the equipment right now to test. https://mrplc.com/files/file/1117-cj2m-built-in-ethernet-connected-to-ns-by-fins/
