Scenario During installation of an E5CC or E5EC temperature controller, the correct sensor type must be selected for the controller to process the input data and present the appropriate temperature values as a result. Alternatively, during installation or operation, if the scenario of the 'S.ERR' input error appearing on the temperature controller o
Introduction This guide is a step-by-step guide to walk you through connecting your CS or CJ ETN21 Ethernet Communication Unit to your PLC and enabling it to communicate over an ethernet network. Pre-Requisites Basic knowledge of CX-Programmer. Basic knowledge of IP addresses and the construction of Ethernet Networks. Please refer to these Precautio
Introduction This guide is a step-by-step process of connecting an NJ or NX PLC and a Microscan Camera. For this guide, an MV40 camera was used, though all Microscan cameras can be connected with this method. Pre-Requisites Knowledge of Sysmac Studio. Knowledge of basic operation of AutoVISION. Required Hardware NJ/NX PLC and Power Supply Microscan
Introduction This guide provides a series of steps that show how to use the Position Correction functionality of Microscan MV Cameras, using AutoVISION. In order to use Position Correction, the Locate Shape functionality must also be used, and is therefore demonstrated below. The purpose of Position Correction is to enable greater robustness in dete
Introduction The purpose of this step-by-step guide is to provide a clear method setting a temperature alarm on an E5CC or E5EC temperature controller, including how to determine to required alarm type and how the make the required settings in the temperature controller itself. Please refer to these Precautions and Terms and Conditions which relat
Introduction The purpose of this step-by-step guide is to provide a clear method for the set-up of an E5CC or E5EC temperature controller using the PID control method. Please refer to these Precautions and Terms and Conditions which relate to the information and program samples provided before proceeding Procedure Determine the Control Method Deta
Introduction The purpose of this step-by-step guide is to provide a walkthrough for establishing a connection between an NA series Human Machine Interface (HMI) and a CJ series Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). Pre-Requisites Basic knowledge of Sysmac Studio and CX-Programmer software. Understanding of IP addresses and basic network structure. Pl
Introduction The purpose of this guide is to provide a series of easy-to-follow steps that show how to fully uninstall the LVS-95XX software from a PC, and then if required, reinstall the software on the same PC. This guide can also be used to uninstall the software from one PC, before installing it on another PC with the same database file. Pre-Req
MX2 inverters offer a range of logic input and output options for control purposes. One of the more common are the multi-function input and output terminals. These multi-function terminals are favoured due to their adaptability and ease of integrating them into an existing logical control system, such as a PLC. However, the terminals must be set up
Overview This document provides examples and explanations of input and output wiring of a G9SE safety relay unit, including the G9SE-201, G9SE-401, G9SE-221-T05 and G9SE-221-T30. Power Supply Input (A1, A2) Connect the power supply's positive terminal to the G9SE's A1 terminal. Connect the power supply's negative terminal to the G9SE's A2 terminal.
Introduction This guide is for NJ and NX PLCs with firmware v1.49 or later, or NX701 PLCs with firmware v1.29 or later. The above PLCs have security enhancements over previous models and firmware versions, one of which is the ability to enable user authentication. User authentication allows an administrator to set up multiple user accounts on the PL
Introduction The purpose of this step-by-step guide is to provide a clear method for setting heater burnout alarms on an E5CC or E5EC temperature controller. A heater burnout alarm operates by detecting the current of the heater with a current transformer. If that current is detected as less than the specified heater burnout current, the temperature
Introduction The purpose of this article is to demonstrate the connection procedure between an NA5 HMI and a CS1G/H PLC, using a CS1W-ETN11 or CS1W-ETN21 ethernet unit. Pre-Requisites This article assumes prior basic knowledge of both Sysmac Studio and CX-Programmer, as well as basic knowledge of the physical setup of CS1G/H PLCs and NA5 HMIs. Pleas
Introduction This guide illustrates how to enable and use the Pre-Reset function of an F3SG Safety Light Curtain. The Pre-Reset function adds an additional step to the process of removing a stop condition, which allows for increased safety for situations where an operator is required to enter a hazardous area normally guarded by safety light curtain

Scenario CX-Thermo cannot connect to your OMRON temperature controller. It's likely that the temperature controller can be seen through CX-Thermo, but a proper connection cannot be established. Issue Older versions of CX-Thermo have limited compatibility with newer temperature controllers. Solution In the CX-Thermo folder on your PC, check the readm
Introduction This guide will outline the steps required to connect an NB HMI screen to a compatible PLC, using ethernet. This process uses a CP1L PLC, but can be applied to most CP/CJ/CS/NJ and NX units. If a PLC does not have built-in ethernet, an ethernet expansion unit may be required. Procedure Step1 Connect the NB and PLC using the ethernet c
Scenario The power indicator light on your G9SE unit is blinking, or other indicator lights are blinking when the power indicator light is on. Additionally, the G9SE is not outputting an 'ON' signal. Issue A fault has occurred with either the G9SE or the configuration in which it is installed. Solution To appropriately resolve this issue, the indica
Introduction This guide will show the process of connecting a CP1L or CP1H PLC to an NB HMI using a CP1W-EIP61 option board. Normally the connection of a CP1L or CP1H to an HMI is documented assuming the use of an NS HMI, or a CP1W-CIF41 option board. Allowing the use of an NB HMI increases the versatility of the CP1L or CP1H range, and the use of t
Should the Intelligent Tap remain connected to the F3SG-4SR Light Curtains? Typically, the Intelligent Tap only needs to remain connected to the Light Curtains when the settings and features of the Light Curtains are being configured. Once the configuration of a set of Light Curtains is complete, simply power off the Light Curtains, remove the Intel
