Boolean expressions can easily written to operate on bits within a word
e.g. nFlags & 0x02 will be TRUE if bit 2 is set or FALSE if it not. This
eliminates the need for additional memory points and processing.
• Can I use token disks with USB Floppy drives or in high capacity
LS120 Disk Drives?
The token copy protection is no longer supported. The software tokens
have proven to be incompatible with some USB floppy drives and the high
capacity LS120 Disk Drives. If you need to remove a software token use
the network to conduct the token transfer, by sharing a floppy drive from
another machine.
• Can I print accented characters on alarm printers?
There is a limitation with Windows, such that it is not possible to print
accented characters to a line printer a line at a time. The only alternatives
are:
• To print using English only characters.
• To set the printing to page mode, which will print a page when a
specified number of alarms have occurred. This can be set up under
Runtime settings, Alarm/Message printer settings.
• Why do I get installation error - 115?
Error -115 during installation means the specified file could not be copied.
This is most often caused by the file already being in use or locked.
Reboot the machine, and attempt installing before running any Omron
software.
This error can also appear when attempting to install on a operating
system that does not support extended European characters, e.g.
Japanese or Chinese Windows. During installation, on the 'Select
Components' dialog box, select 'CX-Supervisor package' and click
'Change…'. Scroll to the bottom of the list of sub-components, and
deselect 'Language Files'. This will prevent language files, including those
using extended European characters being installed.
• How do I address extended memory banks in PLCs?
In the point editor where you configure the PLC address, enter a hyphen
and the bank number for example:
E32000-3
Or (depending on PLC type)
EM32000-3
This will address memory location 32000 in bank 3.
• Why can’t I see all my installed controls in the Insert Object dialog
box?
Under Windows 2000 and Windows XP the Insert Object dialog box is not
able to see all the controls installed on the PC. These include the MS
Forms 2.0 controls that are installed as part of MS Office.
