My setup: EA9-T8CL panel Omron CJ2M-CPU31 PLC Ethernet/FINS driver Everything worked great on v5 of the C-more programming software. We 've upgraded to version 6.0 of the C-more software. The new firmware is in the HMI and the program was converted from 5 to 6. After doing the above, when I want to create a new discrete (bit only) tag for A, H, IO, and W memory locations, I no longer have the option to enter the bit level number, it only allows the word address. If I specify the bit level using the slash notation it says "Error GUI-024: Invalid Address ", i.e., RL_TEST_BIT is on card 4, output 5, so address is IO4/05. I can only enter IO4 as the PLC address. Now if I export the tag addresses, fix the issue in Excel and re-import the addresses, everything is fine - the tag database now shows the IO4/05 address instead of IO4 and the object on the screen works as desired. So, I have a workaround but its tedious. See attached images of v5 and v6 Tag Add dialog boxes. Any ideas? Thanks!

It's a bug. Sorry for the trouble. Glad you found a work around. As with all bugs we will work with the manufacturer to get a fixed version ASAP.

Thanks for the update.
Another difference in V6 I 've noticed is that when I hover over a tag, it no longer displays the current PLC address. This is for all tags, not just those exhibiting the initial problem I described above. See attached images - V5 shows the tag value while "hovering " the mouse over the tag name while V6 does not.

I noticed the same thing and I miss it.

It is much slower to update now, but, it does work for me. (I am running Win 8.1 Pro 64bit, i7-4710Q @ 2.5ghz. 16GB RAM. and 500GB SSD.)

It appears to not work at all if viewing a project that was converted from a previous version. If you delete them and then add them it works.

I have found that if you click the tag to cause 'GotFocus ' and then on another control to cause 'LostFocus ' then the tag tooltip works.

I agree, but it is a helpful tip until they do.

Thank you for the information.
I never thought I'd see C-more compared to a 2-cycle engine though.:o
