Omron PLC & Red Lion HMI.

Elcan · May 5, 2011

Hi all,
I wanted to know if somebody here has experience communicating a Red Lion G308 HMI with a Omron CP1H-XA40DR-A (or similar) using the Ethernet adapter CP1W-ETN01-US, or without using this Ethernet adapter.

Thank you!

Not directly, but cannot imagine it would be that difficult.

Are you experiencing issues?

Is the CP1W-ETN01-US a E/IP?

I have tried the CJ1 using fins to the redlion g310 without success. I had to resort to 485 comms between the devices with a moxa 485/232 auto baud converter at the PLC side.

It was a blessing though, as I managed to configure the PLC on the factory network and can now go online to it from my office.

To lostcontrol
The CP1W-ETN01-US is a US product. It was designed prior to the CP1W-CIF41 being offered. It is an Ethernet device.

There is also a CP1W-EIP01-US is an E/IP slave unit.

Hope this will help.

No, I'm still in the design phase. This will be my first Omron PLC.
I was assuming I would be able to easily communicate this PLC with the Red Lion HMI, but I wanted to check.
Red Lion said that, if the PLC/Ethernet adapter uses FINS, it wouldn't be a problem, but I wanted to hear it from somebody who has experience with the Omron CP1H / Red Lion combo.

Per the datasheet for the CP1W-ETN01-US, it does support FINS.

I have never worked with RedLion, but it sounds like it should work.

Good Luck.
