Seeking assistance with configuring settings using Toolbus, as I am unfamiliar with Omron equipment. Any guidance or support would be highly valued.
Are you unsure about which cable to use for your PLC port? Is your RS232C port, or USB to RS232C port, functioning correctly?
IO_Rack asked about the specific cable and PLC port being used, as well as the functionality of the RS232C port or USB to RS232C port. The inquiry also includes the usage of the USB-C200HS-CN220-EU cable for serial communication with the 30-day version of cx-programmer. It was confirmed that the USB ports are in proper working order.
The ToolBus protocol is not compatible with the serial port, only the peripheral port. To ensure proper communication, utilize the Sysmac Way. The default port parameters are set at 9600, 7, Even, 2. An important note is that there is a DIP switch available to enforce these parameters. To locate the correct DIP switch number, refer to the manual provided.
I successfully accessed the internet through a peripheral port by flipping the dip switch 5 to the ON position. This enabled me to connect online without any issues.
Thank you all for taking the time to be here! We truly appreciate your presence and engagement.
I've had some experience with Toolbus and Omron equipment, and I can tell you it's not as daunting as it seems. first of all, make sure you have the correct drivers installed. Omron has a good range of instructional manuals and videos on their website that can be really helpful. Also, remember to double-check your settings for cable type, baud rate, etc. One small mistake there can cause a lot of issues. If you need more detailed help, I'd be happy to assist further!
Sure, I'd be happy to help with Toolbus configuration on your Omron equipment. The complexity can vary, but setting a default IP (ratings on the side of the equipment), and the tool port number (usually 2) would be a decent start. Remember also, in 'Operation Settings' you should set the PLC type correctly. If you run into any errors, be sure to share the code or screenshot here so we can troubleshoot it together.
