Hello friend, excellent video, I know it is not part of the topic of this list, but could you make a video explaining how to simulate an HMI with NV4 linked to a simulation in Wind LDR without having the physical equipment? Or could you at least tell me if it is possible to do so?
@xiomarsan6654: Thank you for your support to my channel. Sorry for the late response. A short answer for your question is No. If you really want to try it, I can say it's not worth it. It takes a lot of extra work for every object on the HMI you want to test.
@Rosita RP: No, I have not experienced it but I did experience the software sometimes crashed by itself and I lost all my work in the last 2 hours. Thank you for your support and subscribing to my channel.
@messaoud bernia: thank you for giving my new video the very first view and like. Have you ever tried Idec PLC and HMI? I don’t think it’s as popular as Rockell Allen Bradley or Phoenix Contact.
@@SYPHOANG hahaha it's always a pleasure to encourage good people, honestly no, we just use rockwell products where i work, for small machines we have been using micrologix 1100, and 1400 for years, but i heard from sources official that they will be withdrawn from the market in 2 years maximum, it could be a great opportunity for idec to win this market
@messaoud bernia: I heard that too. I actually just called Rockwell Tech support this Tuesday to verify the information. He told me the 1200 actually will be phased out as early as February 2021 then 1100. However, 1400 will still stay in the market for a while. The reason I called them is the prices for Micrologix PLC and its extension cards keep going up so much and so often. This video is about Idec but to be honest with you, Idec HMI is ok and not bad for its low price. However, I would not recommend you to use IDEC PLC to replace Micrologix from AB. I already tried it. Idec needs to work a lot on their PID instruction to improve it. It's just not as good as Allen Bradley. if you have AB background, I would recommend you to use Micro800's PLC to replace Micrologix. Connected Component Workbench software for Micro800's is free, will not cost you a penny for "Standard" edition. Furthermore, with import/export user defined function block features and tag base (instead of nonsense bit base B3:0/1 or N7:2 in Rslogix500, you will have a lot more user-friendly variables such as "CONTROL"-Boolean, "STATUS"-INT), it's much more powerfull and easier to use than RSlogix500 in my opinion. I think you will like it. If you want to try IDEC PLC, you will see they have a totally different system. Instead of B3 from 0 to 15... in Rslogix500, they have M0 to M7 then M10 to M17, M20 to M27 and so on for internal bits. Instead of F8:1 (32bits), IDEC has D1(16 bits) and D2(16 bits). It's even worse when you call out in the instruction only for D1, but if you select Float/REAL for data type, D2 (right next to D1) is automatically used to make 32 bit REAL/Float data without any trace/indication in the program. Bottom line is that I know it's cheap but it's not very easy to use. You get what you pay for. If you need any help on IDEC, Allen Bradley Rslogix500, Studio5000, or Connected Component Workbench, you are welcome to leave me a comment under "Discussion" tab on my channel. We can discuss more about Micro800's PLC in the "Discussion". Thank you so much for your support. if you have any questions, just let me know.
@@SYPHOANG Thanks so much for the detailed answer, actually I was talking about idec nicely because I thought you were working for them hahahah, if not you're totally right. Hahahahaha you will not believe it, but our company decided to replace the 1400, by the 800, I have already looked at a program and I did not like the interface to be honest but, you have to deal with it
@messaoud bernia: haha...My channel is purely created to share experience, knowledge and help each other. I do not work for either Allen Bradley or Idec. I don’t get paid from either one haha... My company is the same as yours. I know the interface is a little bit different but I still think it’s the right decision to use 800 to replace 1400/1100. It’s a unique CIP over Ethernet. However it also does support generic Modbus RTU and TCP. That’s why I can make it work with IDEC HMI in this video. At first you might not like it, but I strongly believe once you have it set up, you will like it. The programming software is much more powerful and flexible than rslogix500. In fact, I really love the tag base system and import/export program/user defined function block features that Connected Component Workbench has. It’s almost as powerful as the costly studio5000 for high end AB controller but it will not cost us a penny. Hey, can we discuss more about it in the “discussion” so that everyone can view and contribute their own opinions on 800s. Thank you for your contributions to my channel.
Hi, I want to upload a project from the HMI but it is in version 1.4 and everytime I try to Upload it the software closes after reading it and trying to convert it. What to do, is there a way to download Version 1.4 WINDOI-NV4?
@samirlissasosa8234: What is the software version on your computer? If it is higher than the firmware on the HMI, there should not be any problem. I guess your WindO/I-NV4 is pretty old. Mine is version 2.2.1. If your software is also 2.2.1, you should be able to open it. You can easily download it from IDEC website.
@Erasmo: Have you checked the server PLC with Modscan32 from your computer? It doesn’t have to be modscan32. It can be anything that can check the server plc communication.
Thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for.
@Rosita RP: Glad it was helpful! Thank you for your support and subscribing to my channel.

Im changing some tags on existing screens, but when I close and open again the WindOW/I editor, the screens disappear. Did you have that problem?
@Rosita RP: No, I have not experienced it but I did experience the software sometimes crashed by itself and I lost all my work in the last 2 hours. Thank you for your support and subscribing to my channel.

Dear Sy, i got a issue with my HMI HG2G-SS22VF-B, on the screen shows this message HOST COMMUNICATION ERROR, apreciate your help
@Erasmo: Have you checked the server PLC with Modscan32 from your computer? It doesn’t have to be modscan32. It can be anything that can check the server plc communication.
