So I tried to attach to it in Win XP mode under Virtual PC, only to have it fail repeatedly, along with all other USB devices on the host Win 7 machine. It seems the AMSAMOTION UBS adapter installed itself as a generic USB 2.0 device. (But hey, you see these things on eBay and think, "I've always wanted to have a play with one of these" and the rest, as they say.īut I've had a bit of a win (but only a bit, mind you).
OK, I now realize I have purchased a long obsolete PLC that was basically worthless and I'm pushing 'possibility' up hill trying to get it to work. I'm quite proud of it but until I can sort out my cable issue, we may never know if it works. I have now written my first program - a whole 5 networks but with three timers, a MUL function and using the two Analog Value 'pots' on the front panel. All he could offer me was a 'deal' to buy a new CP1E plus CX-One Lite for over A$1000. He insisted CX-Programmer can't be purchased separately from CX-One (Although Omron Europe still list it separately). This guy didn't want to know about someone with an obsolete PLC. After numerous attempts to contact them, trying to purchase legal software and cables for my CPM1A, I finally received a phone call (I believe triggered by me requesting CX-Programmer from the Omron Europe website!). May I ask if anyone reading this has managed to get this device working satisfactorily?īob, I'm loath to purchase anything from Omron Australia/Asia Pacific.

The cable came with a mini-CD that seems to have lots of drivers on it but there is a lot of Chinese language in the file and folder names that may be upsetting my laptop that doesn't speak Chinese (as far as I know). I realize this is not the sort of device professionals would even waste their time on but, as mentioned, I'm just a tinkerer wanting to play around with a second-hand PLC without spending loads of money.

And it doesn't seem to want to install on my Win 7 laptop - surprise, surprise! OK, I was warned! Received my AMSAMOTION USB-CIF02 "USB to RS232 adapter for Omron PLC CPM1A." yesterday.
