im not out of the woods just yet..

Ive continued adding components to my test project.. and im still having strange behavior.

The scenario is im having

4 BasicLabel reading and writing D0, D1, D100 And D101
5 BasicLabel reading and writing W0, W1, W99, W100 and W101
Theese are working ..
Then i add One BasicButton1, Toggle 0.00 Highlight 1.00
And now BasicButton1 work too...

Then i add BasicButton2 Click 0.01 Highlight 1.01, and one more BasicButton3 Click 0.02 and Highlight 1.01
BasicButton1 highlight on 1.00 dosnt work, instead Button1+2+3 ALL highlight on 1.01..

Adding more Basic Buttons all highligting on 1.01 ..

Im Sorry to say .. it still needs a little work :-)

Hi .,

Ive download the new 397d release and glad to say something works :-)

For the time beeing im online using Hostlink setting in PLC  and Serial FINS driver in AHMI and able to read and write values. (whats the difference between youre hostlinkdriver and serialFINS?)

I might have found the reason why i wasnt able to read values on W100 the other day and i has to do with connection speed. it seams that when connection at 9600 Baud its not fast enough to read all memorys.. right now connecting at 115200 it reads 5 DM and 5 WM with no problems, but if i reduce speed to 9600 it will only read 5DM and no WM, using BasicLabel

Maybe it has to do with the order you read PLC memory ..

Input string was not in a correct format..

In the Driver, ive changed speed to 9600 and COM1 to COM3 nothing else..

Hi .,
I found another Omron CJ1 PLC with ethernet... and in hope to get a little further ive tried connecting with the serial driver but VB starts debugging with this screen:

Hi .,

Im sure i havnt got anything im my program that could change the value beeing sent to W100 .. and the numbers just dont match up with BCD hex or anything..

Reading values from PLC ., Network and Node is set to 0 and the only thing ive changed in PLCs ethernetsetup is IPaddress ..

Ill try with another CJ1 one of the next days ..

Best Regards

Hi ., again .. :-)

Heres a little more to think about .. when i placed a BasicButton calling PLC address 200.00 . And runs project and presses button. VB goes in Debug FINSBaseCom.vb ..

Should BasicLevel be able to display bit values? when i set it to bit addresses like W1.01 it tells me "input string was not in a correct format".

Regarding the flaw .. my memory was incorrect .. this is how it plays ..

AH - PLC
1 - 1
2 - 2
3 - 3
4 - 0
5 - 1
6 - 2
7 - 3
8 - 0
9 - 1
10 - 2
11 - 3
100 - 96
101 - 97
102 - 98
103 - 99
104 - 96

But still only at W100, not W101 -Strange..

Hi .,
Ive tried different addresses with no luck in reading..

Ive done a wireshark capture but i dont really know what u need, but this is what it came up with..

---

BUT .. when i tried setting keypad up to W100 i noticed a flaw, when i input 3 or more the software sends a different number to PLC , if i send 9 PLC say 0 .. ?? this dosnt happen when i send to W101 or D100 .. HUH..

Hi again ..

Well i am a newbie with advanced HMI, and that piece of info abt the basiclabel got me a bit further, now i know that i can write the PLC with the keypadaddress, but apparently i cant read values.. BasicLabel, just say BasicLabel when running..

i know that older omrom plc dont like beeing online with 2 computers at the same time via Serial over ethernet, but i seems that with CJ1 over ethernet, CX-P and Advanced HMI isnt any problems..

Do you have any clues to getting AH to read out values from my PLC ?

Best Regards ..
Frank .,

thanks for the quick reply..

That is basicly what i did ., but i still have nothing displayed from my plc..

Im not really sure what BasicLabel does.. is it just shutting down comms when window isnt at the front?

Best Regards
