General
These are some notes on how to quickly setup a simple network for use with a PLC-5 Ethernet
processor. Setup of a SLC5/05 is similar, except that a transceiver is not required.
The following hardware/software was used:
Allen-Bradley PLC5-40E
CentreCOM 210TS 10 Transceiver
Allen-Bradley RSLinx (Lite or better), Version 2.30.01
Allen-Bradley RSLogix5, Version 5.00.01
Microsoft Excel 2000
Step 1 - Physically Connect PLC5 to Network
The first step is to physically connect the PLC5 to your network. On the PLC5-40/E, the ethernet port is channel 2 and is also referred to as the AUI port. It is a 15-pin, female D-shell connection. My existing network is a 10 MPS thin net setup with several hubs connecting to a router. To go from the 15-pin connection on the PLC to the RJ-45 modular connection on the hub, a twisted pair transceiver (also called a MAU, medium access unit) is required. I used a CetreCOM 210TS that I bought for $10 on the internet. This plugs into the port on the PLC and a standard modular CAT 5 cable was used to connect this to the hub.
Step 2 - Setup PLC's Communications Parameters with RSLogix5
Start up RSLogix and connect to the processor using the DH+ and DH485 (serial port) connection. Double click on "Channel Configuration" under "Controller". Click on the "Channel 2" tab to reveal the parameters for the ethernet port. For a simple network (no subnets), the only parameters that are important are the IP address and the link ID number. Make sure that the "BOOTP Enabled" check box is not checked and enter the desired IP address. Enter an unused link ID number. The rest of the parameters can be left at their default values.
Step 3 - Verify the Physical Connection
This is an optional step to verify the physical link. You can skip this step if you're confident of your connection. From a computer on the same network as the PLC, ping the PLC's address. If everything is hooked up right, you will get an answer for each ping. You can use the DOS ping.exe program found in the "windows" directory or download a Windows-based ping program such as Alchemy Lab's Ping 1.0.
Step 4 - Setup RSLinx
Start up RSLinx (Lite or higher) and and go to Communications --> Configure Drivers. Then under the "available Drivers" list, select "Ethernet devices" and click on "AddNew". I usually use the default name. When the "Station mapping" window pops up, in the "Station" field, enter the same ID number you entered in RSLogix5. In the Host Name field, enter the same IP address as you entered in RSLogix5. Then hit the "Apply" button and you should be good to go.
Step 5 - Test the Connection
To test the connection, in RSLinx, go to Communications-->RSWho. Double click the ethernet connection and your PLC should show up. To go online, in RSLogix , go to Comms-->Who Active Go Online and select the PLC under the ethernet connection. Programming can be done using RSLinx Lite or better.

I have suggestion if you're working for bussiness, please buy this software from Official Omron. Thanks.

Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 SP1 now supports Windows Vista SP1, Windows XP SP3, among other new features. You can use it to run other operating systems without modifying your hard disks or current installation of Windows.
Here’s a description from Microsoft:
Virtual PC lets you create separate virtual machines on your Windows desktop, each of which virtualizes the hardware of a complete physical computer. Use virtual machines to run operating systems such as MS-DOS, Windows, and OS/2. You can run multiple operating systems at once on a single physical computer and switch between them as easily as switching applications—instantly, with a mouse click. Virtual PC is perfect for any scenario in which you need to support multiple operating systems, whether you use it for tech support, legacy application support, training, or just for consolidating physical computers.
You can even download virtual hard disks (VHD) from Microsoft to try them on Virtual PC 2007. As far as i remember, there are Windows Vista VHD, Office 2007 and Visual Studio 2008.
So, if you are among the people who haven’t tried Vista yet, now is the time to do so.
Check the system requirements to make sure you can run it.
"For Automation System such as HMI/SCADA testing, it will be better if use Virtual PC. It will help a lot before you create on Real PC. Especially for system integrator Virtual PC is solution to make test platform and test some configuration".
"OMRON's PLC-based Process Control = Smart Monitor and Control"
General-purpose PLCs provide everything from simple loop control to advanced process control to meet customer needs
Omron has taken its wealth of technical know-how in factory automation and process control technology to create this PLC-based Process Control for Hybrid Process Control.

One-Stop Solution
Omron provides Built-in Loop Controller (BLC) - CJ1 Series CPU with built-in loop controller that is best-suited for small-scale sophisticated process control up to a maximum of 150 loops.
For a large-scale control process of 250 loops, Omron recommends Hybrid-Process System (HPS) - CS1 Series CS1W-LC[][]1.

Built-in Loop Controller
Built-in Loop Controller combines the Sequence Control Engines and Loop Control Engine into one and integrated with the NS touch panel. A mini batch on control system can be released, and data trending and data logging can be viewed and monitored from the Touch Panel.

Hybrid Process System
Omron Hybrid Process System combines the benefits of the PLC and the ease of programming of Distributed Control Systems (DCS) into one. With the benefits of the PLC, flexibility and scalability of the system can be realized. Besides that, with the ease of the sequencing programming for DCS, development of control becomes easier. Thus, the Hybrid Process System simplifies the design, planning and implementation, and reduces the engineering time.
To meet user needs, simple tools are provided to users for easier integration of GUI monitoring and control system. Tags can be generated and use for GUI monitoring and control.
Omron provides CX-Process Monitor Plus, a simple monitoring and control software to simplify data trending and process control. With the integration of CX-Process Monitor Plus or SCADA and HMI, operation control and monitoring becomes simple, and complexity in maintenance is no longer an issue.

For more controls, NS series touch panel and SCADA system can be integrated. For process control that requires redundancy system, Omron SYSMAC CS1D can be applied. With Hybrid Process System, a low-cost DCS system can be realized.

Omron provides a wide range of different products suitable for different analog process control, ranging from simple, single-loop control to complex, multiple-loop control.

Note: Click on the products for more details.
For applications which require simple distributed control, Omron's Temperature Controller and Digital Panel Meter will be able to fulfill your application needs.
For simple multiple-loop process, Modular Temperature Controller E5ZN will be able to control simple process up to 32 loops.
For sophisticated multiple-loop process, digital process controller E5[]R series and PLC-Based Process Controller will be most suitable for your application.
