Hi Guys,

I have to build an application to communicate directly with a CP1H Omron PLC from a Pocket PC (Teklogix WorkAbout Pro) wireless terminal using VB.NET as development language.

Is it possible to interface the PLC's registry directly from the terminal?

Thanks a lot for your time.

Hi,

You can access the internal registry of the CP1H throught the FINS command or Host link command. They are simple string you can send through the com port. There is a freeware available at this website: http://oeef.free.fr/index.htm and look for Multiway. You will be able to test your string. Also, on the Omron Website, look for manual W342. This manual gives all the command string for this PLC. (Commands are the same as the CS1 and THE CJ1.

If this doesn't help, try the local technical support. They has a lot of info that they can share.

Hope this helps!
