Omron PLC undocumented mode select

Applies To: CitectSCADA 1.00, 1.01, 1.10, 1.11, 1.20, 2.00, 2.01 Summary:

When an Omron PLC is powered up, the default operating mode is "RUN". When the PLC is in Run mode, some registers cannot be written to.

Solution: To write to these registers the PLC must be in Monitor mode. There are some status registers that can be written to, writing a "1" to the appropriate register will change the mode. The registers are as follows. S0 Program Mode. S1 Debug Mode. S2 Monitor mode. S3 Run Mode. These addresses should be configured as type DIGITAL in Citect. All these registers are not present in all PLC's, but the important one is S2 for Monitor mode (which should be in all PLC's).

Using OMRON Protocol

Applies To: CitectSCADA 1.00 1.01 1.10 1.11 1.20 2.00 2.01 3.00 Summary: How do I setup and use the Omron protocol?

Solution: The serial drivers PCxI, MCxI, COMxI or COMx may be used. Setup the PLC with the appropriate communication parameters i.e. baud rate, parity, protocol, and station number, communication mode (single or multiple link). Ports form Special Opt: I/O Devices form Name: Number: Address: Protocol: Port name: Citect.ini option [OMRON] InitPLCMode If InitPLCMode is set to 2, the driver will put PLC into monitor mode when the unit is started up. Standard citect.ini options
[OMRON] MaxPending = 2 Block = 32 bytes Retry = 1 Delay = 0 TimeOut = 2000 milliseconds PollTime = 0 WatchTime = 30 seconds.

-s Use single link instead of multiple link User supplied unique name Network wide I/O device number 0 to 31 OMRON Use the "Port name" from the Ports form
