Omron CP1H AdvancedHMI Communication

We will now use AdvancedHMI to communicate to our Omron CP1H controller. Advanced HMI is a powerful, adaptable HMI/SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) development package that takes advantage of Visual Studio. There is no coding required and you can simply drag and drop items onto the page. The best thing is that the software … Read more

Omron CP1H Data Control Instructions

The data control instructions in the Omron CP1H programmable logic controller are used to manipulate the outputs based upon control conditions. Control is the main purpose of these instructions within the PLC. Instructions include PID (Proportional, Integral, and Derivative), PID with Autotuning, Dead Band Control, Limit, Dead Zone Control, Time Proportional Output, Scaling, etc. We … Read more

Omron CP1H Table Data Instructions

The Omron CP1H programmable logic controller has several different table data processing instructions. These instructions are used to handle table data, stacks and other ranges of data. We can define a stack of data. With this data we can then do the following: add new data by pushing onto the stack, use FIFO (First In … Read more

Implementing the Omron Host Link Protocol VB.Net

Previously we used VB6 (Visual Basic 6) to implement the Omron Host Link Protocol to communicate to our programmable logic controller. (PLC) In part 2 we used Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) to accomplish our host link serial communication. We will now look at using VB.Net to establish and retrieve information in and out of … Read more
