![]() ![]() Everything from configuring analog inputs/outputs, to PID loops, serial communication, memory management, and that bitch of a data type called BCD is a pain in the ass to understand and then apply to your program, wasting company time in the meantime. It's so annoying how it's structured like bit 7 does this, the next 4 bits do that, etc, not to mention how hard it is to troubleshoot a brand new program. It's very hard to understand sometimes what it does for every instruction, even if you read the manual several times. It all seems that they stopped developing it 15 years ago and lived with the fact that people buy Omron because of the brand, not the software.Įven the most basic of things turned out to be a challenge to overcome mainly because of the thing that is called control word which is used to configure almost all built-in instructions. It was the first time I ever saw Omron PLC's, having worked until then with Siemens, Schneider and Unitronics, and I must confess, it was a bumpy ride getting used to the programming environment CX-Programmer. So for almost a year now I've beed working as a PLC programmer (among others) at a company specialized in Omron equipment.
