1-4 Cable Diagram

Omron PLC can transmit the data through RS 232 or RS422 serial communication. It

is suitable for the small amount data transmission. If some devices need hightransmission speed and the bulk data transmission, users can use Ethernet for data

transmission.

To connect OPC Server to Omron C Series PLC, CJ1M-SCU41/ CJ1M-SCU21

(RS232/RS422 serial module) communication module should be installed. The cable

diagram is shown as below.

Please refer to the Appendix A.

Usually, RS232 serial port is used for short distance communication; on the contrary,

RS422 or modem is the better choice for the long distance communication.

RS 485 is only used for the communication between PLCs.

2-1 Communication Setting of Omron PLC

Sample

PLC Type Omron CJ1M-cpu12Communication Module The Port of Omron CJ1M cpu

The Address Space tree control in the Configurator, shown in the figure below, sets the

properties and connection parameters for the following items:

Ports

Devices

Folders

Data Items

Data items can be organized hierarchically. It is similar to organizing directories and

files on your computer's hard disk. The OPC Server offers several levels of hierarchy. The

Configurator module uses the terms Folder and Data Item. A folder can contain

additional folders and also data items. The dataitemsare always the branches in the tree

control hierarchy.

The hierarchical structure of the foldersand data items helps to organize the devices

and tags, as shown below.

2-1-1 Port Define

A port is equivalent to a physical serial port in the computer. To correctly configure a

port means to set up a serial port as a File name (COM 1, COM2),communication speed(Baud rate), and protocol characteristics: RTS flow control, Stop bits and Parity scheme.

When the Parity checking enabled check box is not checked, it will force the server to

ignore the parity bits in the message.

2-1-2 Device Define

Every deviceis connected to particular port, so it logically creates the second level in

theAddress Space tree. Each device is represented by its symbolic name, and isuniquely identified by the Address value. It is impossible to have two devices with the same

address connected to one port.

Setting up a device requires configuration of its unique address, type, timeouts and

optimization parameters, as shown in the figure below.

1. Select Port Edit New Device

Timeout parameters (separately for reading

and writing data) specify the period of time (in

milliseconds) the server will wait for a

response from the device:

Read/Write:Amount of time (in

milliseconds) the OPC server will wait for

a response (read/write) from the device.

Timeouts to Suspend:The number of

consecutive read/write attempts that

timeout before the OPC server will

suspend communication with the device.

Suspend Period:Amount of time the

OPC server will wait before attempting to

reconnect to the device.

Note: The Suspend Period setting can be

decreased to reconnect faster with a

device that has been restarted, but this

will cause the OPC server to generate

more network traffic while a device is

down.

The server tries to optimize the communication

with the devices by requesting as much data

as possible in one message. Consecutive

registers are merged together into one request

for efficiency.

Define the Parameters. You could do it in detail

in the [ Device Parameters ] on the Tree View

2-1-3 Folder Define

Folders can be used to group items logically. You can configure as many folders as

required. Each folder can even have subfolders. The OPC Server supports up to threefolder levels. The use of folders is not required.

If desirable, the configuration could just contain data items without any folders. But most

likely this will only be useful if the application does not demand too many persistent tags.

2-1-4 Data Item Define

A Data Item represents a register in the device or a range of registers. A symbolic

name and description is associated with the data item. An OPC client can obtain the dataitem description.

The actual OPC item name (tag) is compounded from theAddress Spaceroot, the names

of the folder and its subfolders, and the name of the data item. Data items can be located

in any folder, even in the root of the address space.

The steps to create the data item (tag) are as below.

Select [Device] or [Folder], Press the right button of the mouse, it will show you the Popup

menu. Then select NewData Item

From the starting address to access the data by block,

not point to point to access the data. It could speed up

the communication speed. You do not have to define a

lot of items to get the values. Using [Vector] functionwill let OPC server put the values into the arrays.

This value specifies the data item address (register

number) in the device data space.The gray column

shows the decimal value.

Read Only does not allow you to save new value into

OPC Client.If the data type is UINT, you can choose the number of

bits and analyze the value and put into this item. Bit#

means the starting Bit No. Count means the constant

Bits number.

To get the data value converted according to a

prescribed form, choose one of the predefined or

user-defined conversions.

Check the Generate

Alarms check box to

make the server

generate alarms based

on the data item value.

Simulation function will simulate the real


Server. Executing Monitor View or press F12 as the

shortcut, the Tag Value will keep changing for testing

the connecting situation.

To test the client functionality, choose a Simulation

Signal from the Signal drop-down list and check the

Simulate check box. All levels in the Address Space

(port, device, folder, data item) support the process of

simulation (Simulate check box). The parent list in the

tree is superior; it has a higher priority when deciding to

simulate the data item or not. In other words, a data

item is simulated, if it itself has a simulation selected, or

if any of its parents has the Simulate check box

checked. (It may be simulated even if its Simulate

check box stays unchecked)

If checked, the data item will offer constant parameter

value, because Manual setting is of the highest priority.

The changes in the configuration take effect only when

the server reloads the configuration (on startup).
