  1. Greetings, I am trying to get a Incremental Shaft Encoder to count on my HSC in my 1200 project. I have assigned the first 2 inputs and enabled the high speed counter and set up as: "Count", "A/B Counter Fourfold", and "count up". I could not get any type of pulse until I spoke with the manufacturer of the encoder, and they had me install a 2.2k ohm resister between my signal and 24v+. I assigned my counter to %ID900 and It somewhat works now but it appears to count approximately the same number of pulses regardless of how many revolutions the shaft makes and only counts at the very beginning of the on cycle and the very end of the off cycle... (as if the encoder is pulsing too fast). It is a 200 pulse per cycle (I assume revolution), and revolves at a rate of about 1 per sec. Can anyone off the top of their head think of why its not accurately counting. I can only get about 60-70 pulses on it no matter time it is rotating and mainly at the last milliseconds of the motor being on. It is a 24v "open collector". This is the first time I have worked with an encoder. Here is the encoder: http://encoder.com/core/files/encoder/products/6a42f3fd9d38e0f070dc82bc1dcbb222.pdf EncoderWhiteSheet.pdf

  2. Configuring Cell Modem to Connect to PLC

    Tiburonlax replied to Tiburonlax's topic in Computer Help and Networking

    Siemens S7-1500. All are on the 10.10.10.xxx subnet. I do not have a gateway IP assigned into the PLC, and I've been trying to read up and it looks like I will need to put the IP of the Sierra GX440 local ethernet port as the PLC gateway address......
  3. I'm new to configuring cell modems and networking. Any help is appreciated. I've got a pretty basic setup with one PLC & one HMI connected to a Sierra GX440 Verizon/LTE in the field. The Sierra has been set up with a static IP from verizon which I can access via public internet using a web browser. My PLC and HMI are on a 10.10.10.XXX network with a 255.255.255.0 Subnet. All I want to do is be able to navigate to my PLC for remote programming. Does the PLC gateway IP address need to be the same IP of the Sierra Ethernet Port? Any help, guidance or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jason
