Here's the Toggle in a jpg file.

Here are some pictures and a PDF of a diagram to build a DC sensor test box. It's dual NPN or PNP output with an off/on switch. All parts purchased at Radio Shack for under $20.00. Do not buy the same size box buy the next size bigger project box than what is shown in the pictures. I had a hard time getting two 9 volts crammed into this tiny enclosure.

If your like me you might be using some newer cards like a 1769-IF4I *isolated* that you won't find in the profile pick list in RS Logix 5000. Not even if you have the latest and greatest version of RS Logix 5000 like version 16 per say. So this file has a self installer so that it will add a few cards that are missing from your profile pick list.
1769-IF4I 1.1 V13.04
1769-OF4VI 1.1 V13.04
1769-OF4CI 1.1 V13.04
1769-IF8 1.1 V13.04
1769-OF8V 1.1 V13.04
1769-OF8C 1.1 V13.04
Now you won't have to follow Appendix C in
Publication 1769-UM014A-EN-P - January 2006
To add this card as a generic module. It will be in the pick list correct.

This program was written for an SLC-5/03 processor. It was designed to display date time and day-of-week to a Panelview 550. It uses the 5/03's internal clock for the time and date and then calculates the day-of-week. Newer revisions of the 5/03 ca

Operator wanted an easy way to tell if temperature was rising or falling in the tank. So without having to setup a full blown trend chart I came up with the "trend flag". If the flag or integer "Tank_1_Resin_Temp_Trend" was equal to "1" then the temperature is rising. If the flag is "0" then the temperature is falling. Easy fix with one rung.

This is a PDF sheet that explains all the tag formatting required to program a Maple System HMI with an Allen Bradley PLC.

For the past four years I have setup a Halloween display at my house for my neighborhood children to enjoy. Each year my total TOTs (tricker-or-treaters) have double to the point last year I had 1500 kids come through my garage for a fully automated Halloween show complete with animatronics air props etc.. Also each year I submit a DVD video in a contest to the Halloween-L people in hopes to win the contest for the USA. I never have won anything but this year I decided to contribute to the technical part of the contest so I video taped myself going over the basics of a MicroLogix 1000 PLC and how I apply my PLC at home for use during my Halloween displays.
Last year is the last time I will be setting up my display however my legacy lives. I put up a website with videos and pictures of my props from the past three years. You can view or see more information at: http://www.plchalloween.com. Since I won't be returning to the Halloween scene in 2006 I've decided to share my videos I created. I will uploaded a series of videos to MrPLC.com as I see they can help those that are beginners much like they have helped Halloween-L fans.
Very soon check in the online store I will release a DVD version of all my How-To-PLC w/Halloween for sale. The DVD will contain hi-quality videos however the low quality videos will remain free for download here at MrPLC.com. I hope you enjoy as I upload videos in the next coming weeks.
This video explains very basics ladder logic editing. Part 1 of 2
