Hello,
I am not that familiar with the omron plc line but have made program modifications to a CJ2M.
I have a machine that needed more hardware integrated into it. right now the machine has a CP1H controller with two expansion ports and two serial ports in the base controller. I need to integrate two EIP check scales into the conveyor line.
Im assuming that the controller is maxed out on expandability.
so I would like to know A) is the program updatable to a CJ2M relatively easy? Is the CJ2M the best option to upgrade too? (not looking for a complete machine rewrite).
B) the current HMI is also omron with serial communications to one of the slots on the controller, but has an available ethernet port. would it be wise to set up the
HMI over ethernet as well. ( i believe the CJ2M does not have a serial port)
Would I be better off looking for an easier scale interface with discrete high low outputs. looking for a +/- 2 gram accuracy with adjustable target weights.
The current controller is being used for indexing a few servo drives with step/direction i believe from the bottom output pins of the base unit.
Any ideas would be wonderful.
Thank you.
