Omron CP1H PLC to C-More HMI EA9 RHMI Communication

We will now look at the omron plc to cmore hmi communication. This headless HMI will use an android app to display the Omron PLC values on the cmore hmi. Our sample CP1H PLC program will use buttons and indicators to control a start/stop jog circuit. An analog input into the PLC will be scaled and displayed on a gauge and numeric display on our HMI screen. We will also write information to our 7 segment display on the CPU from our HMI screen. Omron serial host link protocol will be used to communicate over an RS485 serial cable. We will demonstrate remote access using our windows and android device. Let’s get started. More information can be obtained on our website. This includes all of the links mentioned in this video. http://accautomation.ca/omron-cp1h-to-c-more-ea9-rhmi-communication 00:00 Introduction 00:32 Hardware 02:43 Omron PLC Program Review 05:12 CMore Program Review 09:05 HMI Web Server / Remote Access 13:40 Testing the program - Windows remote and Android Remote HMI 18:25 Conclusion The C-More EA9 Series of human-machine interfaces (HMI) provides a way for the operator to control and will perform a lot of additional items. The free programming software is very user friendly and fully featured. Here are some of the additional items that this robust and powerful HMI can do besides communicating with programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Send Email – This includes authentication for the email client protocol Log Data – This can log data files to the internal memory or an external thumb drive (32G) FTP Server – Use file transfer protocol to retrieve information from the HMI to a network. This can be done automatically with a batch file. Web Server – This HMI can be a web server on your network Remote Internet Access – Windows, Android, and IOS operating systems have the ability to take advantage of this remote access to the HMI. The programs are free and fully functional.

Here are just a few. - Standalone PLC with built-in I/O - Communication ability - Ethernet Port, RS232, RS485 - support for protocols such as Modbus, Host Link, ASCII (No Protocol) - Built-in Analog inputs and outputs - 4 axis control of motion - 4 high-speed counters - powerful instruction set (similar to CS and CJ series) - Ability to expand the system with a variety of modules The Omron CP1 series of programmable logic controllers consists of three different units. CP1E is the cost-effective unit, CP1L is the high performing controller that can come with embedded Ethernet and the CP1H is the position control and comprehensive programmable logic controller. We will be looking a the CP1H for this series, but a majority of the information can be applied to the CP1E and the CP1L controllers as well. http://www.accautomation.ca
