Omron CP1H Data Conversion Instructions

We will now look at data conversion instructions in the Omron Cp1H Controller. Programmable logic controller programming is all about manipulating the bits within the memory of the controller. Sometimes we need to convert from one form to another. This is where we will use data conversion instructions. BCD to Binary, Line to Column, Grey … Read more

Omron CP1H Data Shifting Instructions

We will now look at data shifting instructions in the Omron CP1H controller. PLC programming is all about how we can manipulate the information stored in the PLC. We have already looked at timers, counters, moves, and comparison instructions. Data shifting is a different concept that will move bits and words around in memory. This … Read more

Omron CP1H Numbering Systems and Addressing

The Omron CP1H series of programmable logic controllers have a fixed input and output addressing system. Every PLC has its own way of addressing its inputs and outputs. We will be looking at how the CP1H series of controller addresses its inputs and outputs. Numbering systems used in this controller will also be looked at … Read more

Omron CP1H Setting, Forcing and Online Editing

We will now look at online editing, setting, and forcing that can be done on the Omron CP1H controller.  The Omron CP1H series of programmable logic controllers are capable of online programming. This is when the PLC is solving logic and at the end of the scan, programming logic is added or modified. The next … Read more

Omron CP1H Establish Communication

We will now establish Omron CP1H communication using the built-in USB connection. CX-Programmer will be used to communicate. The Omron CP1H series of programmable logic controllers are programmed from CX-Programmer. CX-Programmer is part of the Omron CX-One Factory Automation Integrated Tool Package. We will now establish communication with our CP1H PLC using CX-Programmer. We will … Read more

Horner XL4 Data Logging – All In One Controller

Data logging is the ability to save and view data from the PLC in a format that we can utilize elsewhere on the network. The Horner APG XL4 has this feature in its design to periodically log registers to removable media. (Micro SD) This data is stored in .CSV (comma-separated value) format which is compatible … Read more
