Hello Readers,

I am working with a User of OMRON CQM1H/CQM1, which he wants to communicate with Schneider Modicon Telemecanique Systems.

I've thought in a Modbus RS485 card. Is ModBus Card/Port Available in OMRON CQM1H/CQM1 Series?,

OMRON commercial service said to me that is not available Modbus protocol running in an OMRON RS485 card. Is there any 3rd manufacturer that sells this kind of product?. I'm thinking in somebody who could provide some OMRON RS485 coupler, but with Modbus protocol embedded.

Other possibility would be some kind of gateway to converting OMRON protocol to Modbus. But I don't know anything about it.

What is the Protocol this OMRON Series uses?.

Regards.

Daniel Rallo.

 

The MARC Omnii-Comm can convert Omron Host Link protocol to Modbus. If the Omron equipment can provide a Host Link interface, then the Omnii-Comm
would do it easily. Data sheet is at "www.miille.com/din266-p00.pdf":http://www.miille.com/din266-p00.pdf

Hi Daniel,
Why dont you visit "www.prolinxgateways.com":http://www.prolinxgateways.com & see if it helps!!

As mentioned in the other response, the MARC Omnicom will do that. All Omron PLCs have Host Link protocol built in. You should have no problems with that.

I've programmed both PLCs before, if you get stuck.

The CQM1H with the Serial Communication Board (CQM1H-SCB41) can support RS-485. The native protocol is called Host Link. The Serial Communication Board also supports Protocol Macros, which make it relatively easy to emulate third party protocols such as Modbus. Information
on the Serial Communication Board, Protocol Macro and Host Link protocol are all available in the
CQM1H Programming Manual, which can be downloaded at:
