  1. HELP S7-1200 tia portal

    jaseplc posted a topic in Siemens

    Hi I m new and I need some help in programmin an actuator with S7-1200 on TIA PORTAL Here is the topic: program an actuator which move between two position located by thwo limit switch END_FWD_SW and END_BCK_SW To do that I have : Hardware: S7-1200 CPU 1212C AC/DC/RLY 6ES7 212-1BD30-0XB0 1 REVERSING CONTACTOR WITH LED 1 STARTER 1 POWER SUPPLY the list of inputs I have : 1 FWD_BUTTON to send the actuator forward until it reach the limit switch END_FWD_SW 1 BCK_BUTTON to send the actuator backward until it reach the limit switch END_BCK_SW 1 ESTOP_BUTTON to stop the actuator at any time 1 AUTO_BUTTON to set the system in auto mode so that the actuator could move itself from one position to another and so on go and come automatically 1 MANUAL_BUTTON to set the system in manual mode 1 INPUT_FWD_SWITCH this is the limit switch for the END FORWARD POSITION 1 INPUT_BCK_SWITCH this is the limit switch for the END BACKWARD POSITION The list of outputs I have 1 OUT_FWD to send the actuator forward 1 OUT_FWD to send the actuator Backward I do not know if I have to put the coil of the reversing contactor as OUTPUT too ??? because the reversing contactor has two coils : one that i used to go Forward and the other that I use to go backward the reversing contactor has an mechanical interlock of course. The actuator connection has two switch to send it Extended or Retracted. Of course the actuator is connected to a motor as you can see in the file attached showing it with his drawing connection. I also have to count the number of thime the actuator is used for the history. Any help please ???? Thanks you ! i HAVE ALSO ATTACGED THE PROGRAM I HAVE WRITE, I WANTED TO USED DB AND DB INSTANCE TO DO THAT CAN SOMEONE HELP ME IN MY PROGRAM ????
  2. Hello all, I have been trying to get my first C-more application to work and am pulling my hair out. I have an AB micrologix 1400 and am trying to connect it to a C-More EA9 with ethernet. I am using a cable directly from the panel to the plc. I can ping the PLC, and works well with RSlogix via the Ethernet cable. Nothing I do to the EA9 CMORE has worked yet. I have changed the ip settings several times. I can load the program with a USB and I can see it using the CMore software but I cannot transfer. AutomationDirect seems to be out of town this week and I can't get anyone to speak/talk with. There is no section on troubleshooting this as far as I have found. I have set the PC to : IP 10.0.0.65 Mask of 255.255.255.0 I have set the EA9 Panel to : IP 10.0.0.21 Mask of 255.255.255.0 I have set the Micrologix to : IP 10.0.0.10 Mask of 255.255.255.0 Thanks, Hutch07
  3. Hello, I am trying to communicate with MicroLogix 1100 from CompactLogix. But I keep getting an error and It says connection failure. This is what I have done so far. Can anyone tell me what I am missing? Regards,
  4. Good day to all, Please i need your support. I am new to world of Plc. I just bought a micrologix 1500(1764-24BWA) Plc for my training program. I have a question with respect to the Input terminal 24V DC. I connected L1,L2 and the ground at the Output terminal to a 230VAC and power On the Equipment, everything was okay. My question is do I still need to connect the -DC and + DC at the Input terminal to a 24VDC external power supply to get the needed 24VDC for the Input terminal or the 24VDC comes from the internal voltage conversion of the PLC. Once again thank you for the support. Best regards
  5. At work we have been having a slightly increasing number of instances where the Micrologix 1400 that is paired with a Panelview C400 resets values when we cycle the power. Originally we thought the solution was a bad battery in the ML1400. This was the case the first few times that it happened. However, we recently had one doing the same thing and when the program was loaded onto another PLC and HMI combo it had the same issue. So either the battery for both just happen to be bad, or there is something in the program that is forcing the values to automatically reset when the power is cycled. I cannot post the program on here but I can tell you that the tags that are being reset are only used in the PLC program once. There are six total that are being reset and they are the high and low range in an SCP function that is used to scale inputs. I will be testing the program myself in house on a bench setup, but I wanted to get this question out there as soon as possible in case it is not an obvious problem. Has anyone seen this before? Any suggestions? If I come up with an answer I will post it. Thanks.

  6. All CPU led falshing

    gendy posted a topic in Siemens

    Hi, I have S7 300 CPU all its leds falshing in same frequency this happen while it running and can't access to it online if we make power reset and selctor on stop it start normal and when try to go online all leds flash if we make power reset and the selctor in run position it start and after a few second start flashing can any one advice me what i do ? what is the possible causes of that
  7. Hey guys, so for a while I've been wanting to get a little PLC for home that I can play with and just have some fun with. I don't know exactly what I will do with it, I mean I live in a 1 bedroom apartment in Minneapolis, so I don't exactly have a large workshop to set up projects, but maybe some home automation type stuff. I'll probably set up a little test board with din rail and terminals and just mess around with it when I get bored. Anyways... so I wasn't sure what to get. I've always liked Allen Bradley, but the licenses are so expensive, obviously. But now with my current job I have to take my laptop home in case someone needs support on one of our machines, so I have RSLogix5, 500 and 5000 software/licenses installed on my laptop, so I can just use that. So I was looking at my options. I was thinking about getting an Aurduino or Raspberry Pi, but I kind of wanted to stay with Allen Bradley since that is what I use at work, and I may as well learn as much as I can about that. Well anyways, 2 nights ago I had a few too many drinks after work and I was browsing eBay for used PLCs and I bid on/won a MicroLogix1000. It seemed like a good idea at the time, it says its fully functional, it has free shipping is only $85, and since I already have the software... So what are your guys' thoughts on the MicroLogix1000? To be specific, the one I bought was the: 1761-L32BWA MICROLOGIX-1000 Besides the software and the computer cable, is there anything else I will need? I don't need expansion cards with this, unless I want, because it has i/o built into the controller, correct? I will just need a 120VAC and 24VDC power supply? Thanks!
  8. Hey guys, sorry for all of the newbie questions, I had 1-2 years of PLC training at a tech school, and then I got a job where I didn't use my knowledge at all for 2 years, and now my current job is all PLCs, and I have forgotten some of the stuff I learned, but it's coming back to me, so I appreciate all the help with the stupid questions. Anyways, here is my question. I am using a MicroLogix 1100 running RSLogix 500 to collect data on a few of our machines about scrap parts and run time vs down time. I just have some basic inputs hooked up to it. I need to be able to send the data to an integer file at the end of every shift, and then reset the current data (easy enough for me, at a certain time I will use a MOV function to move the info from the timers and counters to integers and then use a RES function to reset everything that I want). Anyways, my question is how to I tap into the free running clock built into the MicroLogix 1100? I see that it is S2:4, but I am confused how to use it or set it. I just set one up on a SLC 5/05 and that was super easy, I just set the time while it was online, and then used 3 different COMPARE functions to tell it when I wanted to move/reset the data (I used S:40, S:41 and S:42). Anyways, I can't seem to figure out how to tap into this clock on the MicroLogix 1100. Can anyone help me with a "dumbed down" step-by-step guide. I just want data sent at 6:30, 14:30 and 22:30 and then data reset 2 seconds after each of those times. Any help is truly and honestly appreciated and very useful. Thank you in advanced. Howard

  10. Ken Roach already answered this question for MicroLogix 1200, I'm trying to find the same answer for MicroLogix 1000. DF1 half-duplex communication gets dropped with MicroLogix 1000 slaves. I monitored the data, and found the slaves stop sending ACK, and the master stops sending ENQ. Slaves still send valid responses, but these responses are ignored by master because the ACK is not present. Power cycle solves the problem, but that's a hassle to drive out to remote sites. Power cycle to master sometimes solves the problem, but not always. Messages are initiated by the master, not by the slaves. Rockwell support said the only solution is to cycle power. Ken's approach was to monitor CS0:17, if it changes issue an ACL command. See previous topic: http://forums.mrplc.com/index.php?showtopic=22686 Thank you!
  11. Hello, I am trying configure the communication between factorytalkview with ML1500, but the processor don't show in the tree. My connection PC to PLC is DF1 Serial, somebody could help me.

  12. Graph, acknowledge supervision fault

    N.Lindstrom posted a topic in Siemens

    Hi im quite new to Siemens programing. I got a issue that iwe been stuck with for a while now when im programing in Graph. When a supervision_fault happens the sequence is locked until I press ACK_EF and the transition is fullfilled. Then the sequence continues right on. What I want is that if ACK_EF is pressed the supervision fault will be cleared and the sequence remains paused until I press "Startbutton" again. I´ve tried Halt_SQ when the FAULT is triggered but I cant seem to get the FAULT down when I ACK. Also tried to switching it over to manual then ACK the fault. But that didnt work for me either. Hope there is someone that could help me with this :) It would be much appreciated!
