Hello I have an ancient Omron SYSMAC C40P controller with a C120-PRO15 programmer on board. When turned on in all modes (RUN, MONITOR, PROGRAM), it requires a password. Can you help? It's a pity to throw it away, I could have worked more!
Usually, there is no password. Make sure the slide switch is on MON. Then push CLR, MON, CLR. You will find this on page 6 of the following manual. www.edata.omron.com.au/eData/Software/Devices/W184-E1-1A.pdf I hope this helps you out. Regards, Garry
@@ACCautomation Thank you very much I also now noticed in the video that at start they type this key combination. Thanks for the PDF, I will understand. You can ask another question. This series of controllers are programmed only with a special C120-PRO15 (PRO25) programmer or can the same actions be performed in software (CX-Programmer v.5)?
@@user-qj2hz7zd7n The C40P is an older Omron PLC and is not supported in CX-Programmer. In order to use a software package, you must use a host link module on the unit with software called Syswin (Windows XP or older) or LSS - Ladder Support Software (DOS). accautomation.ca/purchase-find-parts/omron-c20k-c28k-c40k-c60k/#Software The best way currently in my opinion is to use the handheld you currently have.

I need your help with a sysmac c40k. It’s part of a small printing press and all the start and stop switches go through it. Recently the contactor to the main motor suffered a burn out and the overload protector on the contactor must have sent a signal to the PLC. I have replaced the contactor and protector but when the start button is pushed the output light on the PLC just flashes. The PLC has an eeprom in it so I’m assuming the program is still intact and running because everything else that it runs is still working fine. Is there something that needs to be cleared or reset?
Found this controller installed on an old SprayBake paint booth for an auto Body Shop. Found the battery failed, replaced it but the system was down for over an hour. Program is most likely wiped from memory now. I have to contact Spray Bake to see if they have a way to upload the original program from 30+ years ago into the controller lol
Hi Bullish Bear, You are correct this was over 30+ years. SprayBake was located just north of Toronto in Vaughan. I did visit them a few times when I was with Omron Canada. This machine probably originated here. If you can get a copy of the program file, it was written with the DOS programming software LSS or windows version Syswin. I have the software to interpret the program and convert it to mnemonic code. Here is the website. An email address is located at the bottom of the page. spraybake-booths.com/home.htm You will need a handheld controller to enter the code. (3G2A6-PRO15-E) accautomation.ca/purchase-find-parts/omron-c20k-c28k-c40k-c60k/#Peripheral I know at one point, SprayBake sponsored Dale Earnhardt (Sr), who came and visited the shop. Regards, Garry
Gary, First off thanks for this video very informative. We are having trouble with our C28K. Everything appears to be working but the Run and Output lite on the unit come on when engaged but quickly go off. Any idea on this one? We have lost function at the control panel
Thank you for your comments. It sounds like the power supply of the unit is not working correctly. Do you have a handheld device attached to the controller? If so, please ensure that the switch is in run mode. The PLC will look at this switch when powering up to determine what mode to place the controller into. Regards, Garry
Hi Lauren, This controller has either an EPROM chip or RAM to store the program. If you look under the cover on the left side of the CPU, you will see a socket. This is the EPROM chip socket. If it does not have a chip installed, then you are using RAM memory. The battery will back up this RAM memory, so if you loose the battery your program is lost. The battery also backs up the memory retentive data areas in the program like DM and HR. These will be reset to 0 if the battery power is lost. Hope this helps you out. Regards, Garry
Hi Jjkanal, Yes, we are still using the Omron K series in some applications. When they finally go we have backup programs in a Click PLC ready to go. Are you having some issues with your C40K? Regards, Garry
Hi Garry, I need your help to solve a problem. I have two OMRON PLCs model C40K-CDR-D and I have to be able to test them periodically for which I needed a very simple application to test the inputs and outputs. I wanted to have this application in an EPROM 2764 and when I needed to try them I would just have to put that memory in the socket and power the PLC with what I would start running by testing. You should only give me a binary file to record the EPROM in a standard recorder. Of course I would pay you for the work, think (so you can take pity on me) that for you it would not represent a great effort but for me it would represent an invaluable help. Could we talk about this by a more private email where I explain in more detail this matter ?. Waiting for your news I greet you affectionately. Juan Jose
@@jjkanal4154 I would do this a different way. Purchase the handheld unit for the K series of controllers. This is the PRO15-E device that will fit in the slot on the CPU. You can then put the PLC in program mode. In this mode, you can turn on monitor the inputs and set the outputs. This is exactly what the handheld device is for doing. Regards, Garry
