    How do I program sequences on my Omron

    Omron has a software called CX-Programmer that allows you to connect to the PLC to program it. I don't know where you got your PLC but if it came from a vendor they should be able to help you out with the programming software.

    How do I program sequences on my Omron

    Can you explain a little more? You don't have the software to program it? You don't know how to program with the software? You don't know how to program your sequences?

    Difference between Management and Leadership?

    Leadership is a skill. Management is a position someone is given quite often regardless of their leadership skills.

    Add a new Omron IO module on an existing PLC

    I may have left a step out. After you create the IO table, perform a verify and save, you should tranfer the IO table back to the PLC from the Options menu in the PLC IO table window. Basically the PLC has a "real" IO table that it gets everytime it starts up and a "registered" IO table that is...

    Add a new Omron IO module on an existing PLC

    I don't know what setup you are running but the IO table should stay in the PLC memory on power down provided the battery is good. If the battery is not working you will need to transfer the setup to the external storage card if you have one. Can you tell me if you are getting a battery error?

    Add a new Omron IO module on an existing PLC

    I am going to assume that you have CX-Programmer to interface with the PLC. You can simply add the IO module to the back plane, generally while it is powered down, and then power the plc up. You should get an error LED indicator on the PLC. Go online with CX-Programmer and double click on the IO...

    Omron instructions

    The numbers you are seeing 000.09, 103.15, and 253.13 are word.bit addresses. Generally speaking the there is several memory areas on the plc one of which is the Core I/O or CIO area. The I/O modules would be located at the lower values such as 000.09. every thing that is not assigned to I/O...

    Omron CJ1M memory area ?

    No problem. Be thankful that you have CX-One and not the CPT, or worse yet CVSS software to do your programming. Drop a post if you have any more questions. Good luck.

    Omron CJ1M memory area ?

    I don't have the specs for the CJ1M in front of me but I can give you some general info that may help. Omron breaks the memory out into several areas CIO, Data, Registers etc. CIO is the "working" area of the PLC. The indiviual bits are referenced by "word.bit" such as "1200.05". The available...

    Delphi & MS Access

    You will need to change the data type in the Access database from 'text' to 'memo'. Access limits the size of the 'text' data type to 255 characters.

    getting data based on user input

    So if you input 4/5 and 4, is that suppose to search the columns for the value 4/5 and then get the value in the 4 column? I guess I am not following your algorithm.

    getting data based on user input

    Basically put =INDIRECT($A31) in cell B31 and then enter the value C5 in cell A31. Excel will put the value that is in cell C5 in cell B31. Does that make sense?
