  1. Hey guys, I'm sorry if this has been asked here before.  Whenever I search, I'm getting: Error code: EX144 no matter what I search for.  Anyway...  I wanted to find out if anyone had recommendations for software that I could use to layout a panel.  It doesn't have to meet any regulations, or be legally certified by a PE, I just need to mount a bunch of PLCs, DIN Rail, some sensors, VFDs, all of that fun stuff, and I was hoping maybe some software existed (...that I could afford--an important distinction I should include!) that would have all of the most common PLC racks, (AB, S7, GE, Ti, MOD) with all (or most) of the hardware to go along with it.  In a perfect world maybe even allow loading of .stp files.  If it tracked all my inter-module connections (Ethernet, DH+, DH485, RS485, MS/TP, Profi, and so on) that would just be the cherry on top!  I'm open to Open Source, or even Visio, if someone has created all the common PLC racks into module I could load and drag around.  The big thing is, I'd like to know how I can arrange the PLCs and all the DIN mounted devices to make the best of the space I have.  I'm talking about 23 different PLC racks, and at least twice that many DIN mounted gateway modules.  Then, a handful of VFDs; PF525, PF755, PF40, a PVP+, some NET-AICs and NET-ENIs along with power supplies breakers, some relays, IO-Link boards, and so on.  I'll figure out the wiring another way if I need to.  First, I need to arrange and organize the racks so I know where I can run the cable track, and maybe even figure out how much of I am going to need. Many thanks a head of time, guys.  If software exists that is $10k…it is going to be out of the question.  But, if there are some that might cost a couple hundred bucks, or maybe even online sites where I can pay for a year or so to design these couple various racks I need to define, that would be wonderful.  
  2. Help with wiring diagram

    Hello,   I'm working on a project that involves using a 1734-AENT remote IO module. In this project, I need to configure analog inputs, digital inputs, and digital outputs.   Since I'm new to this field and have limited experience, I'm looking for guidance in creating a wiring diagram.   If anyone in this community can provide assistance or perhaps share a basic wiring diagram template, I would greatly appreciate it. My primary focus is on generating the wiring diagram itself.   Thank you for any help you can offer.
  3. fx3uc-64mt/d

    Dear All , i Have FX3uc-64mt/d    plc. i am getting confused about its wiring . In manual it is mentioned that plc can be run on both sink and source while when i connect only OV to any pin it indicates the input high. although no signal is given to common terminal . can anybody explain me this phenomenon.  thanks in advance. 
  4. Delta PLC Analog Wiring

    Good day all, I recently working an assignment to read analog data from sensors. I connected everything just as what the manual for sensor stated. My PLC is DVP20SX2 and the sensor data i want is 4-20mA. The analog sensor has two wires, Analog Output + and Analog Output GND. I connected the + to I0+ and the GND to the VI0-, but when I work online using the ISPSoft, I can't get any data. My doubt is the wiring. Can anyone guide me on this? Is my wiring wrong? does analog works the same as digital, where we have to connect to same COM?
  5. CJ2M PLC power supply wiring

    HI all,  Is there anything issue or wrong in thing connection ( added noise filter & fuse. )?  
  6. Hello guys,  I am new to PLC, most of what I know is on the programming side . I am trying to build a trainer for myself with a used  Micrologix 1100. when I connect 24V DC to input side, the controller powers on. My understanding is that it should inly power on if I supply 110V AC to the power side . I think I might have damaged the device. Please advice   
  7. Keyence / proface

    Good dat i have a trouble of having this errors.  Can i ask also a wiring config for keyence kz a500 to Pro face GP4301tw  Thanks in advance 
  8. First time using Connected Components Workbench and am modifying an existing program,  does anyone know why and how the original IO_EM_DI_ numbers have been changed and not just the alias'. When I right click and select properties for each tag it gives the address and says 'Read only cell' generated by the I/O wiring tool indicating the I/O channel to which the variable is wired' Any help would be great thanks!
  9. Hello, -I'm considering using an AB 1734-IB8 to count input pulses from a Micro Motion flow meter transmitter and, since I'm very new to this stuff, would like a little guidance as to how/if this can be done.       My first concern is the wiring. The manual for the transmitter shows this wiring diagram for the specific model I'm using.       Here, B would represent the 1734-IB8 module. I'm not going to be using the analog loop. In addition to this wiring, terminals 9 & 10 on the transmitter will be wired to the same 24V and Common as my PLC modules.        The 1734-IB8 manual shows this diagram for wiring.       Should I consider the pulse output of the transmitter as a 3-wire device, connect terminal 3 of the transmitter to my 1734-IB8 input terminal and disregard the connection from terminal 4 of the transmitter, or should I just tie terminal 4 to my common? Or, Should I consider my pulse output as a 2-wire device, tie terminal 3 of the transmitter to my 24V and terminal 4 to my input module? My guess is the pulse output should be considered a 3-wire device with terminal 4 of the transmitter tied to my common, but I'd like a little bit of explanation with this. -My second main concern has to do with the capability of the 1734-IB8 module to read pulses. More specifically, I would like to know what parameters of the module I need to research to see if it will be possible to read the pulses from my transmitter in the application I'm considering. If the 1734-IB8 can't be used, I would end up going to a high-speed counter card.   Thanks  
  10. Hello, I have a cp1h-y20dt-d (sinking output) plc supposedly to be wired to a servo controller. The pulse control method is Pulse/Direction. I've did some manual research on the PLC and found the following diagram attached Untitled. Since the diagram above doesnt show which terminals does it connect to in the CP1H side circled red, I want to ask if those connections belong to the following diagram attached Untitled1? If so, assuming im planning to use only Pulse Output1 (Pulse/Direction method) from the PLC side, is the connection from the first diagram no.1=CCW0- , no.2=CCW1- , no.3=COM (connected to -ve) *Note: these diagrams are from omron's manual SYSMAC CP Series CP1H-X40D_-_ CP1H-XA40D_-_ CP1H-Y20DT-D CP1H CPU Unit Your replies would greatly help. Thanks and best regards, Summer
  11. Analog Wiring

    I need to connect a analog amplifier with the analog input 0-10V on my Siemens 1200 PLC (located inside the same cabinet as plc, about 40 cm between). do i need a shelded cable? or just RK0,75mm2? do i use any special color on 0-10V?
  12. Hi everyone, Recently, I started working with the Micro820 Controller Embedded I/O. My project is simple : when the output _IO_EM_DO_00 is set to true, an LED light turns on. But, even though it's super simple, I can't make it work. Here's my setup. If you need more information, feel free to ask anything !
  13. Hi,I am new in project engineering and my previous work is PLC programming only. For experienced engineers, what are the step by step procedure that you use in migrating/upgrading and what are the things that I will avoid?

    does anyone can help how to connect plc fx2n-16mt with servo drive mr-j2s-40 and motor servo hc-kfs-43 ? please give me wiring schematic thanks a lot
  15. I wonder if anyone can recommend cable id printer? I know Brady is the leader in this field and I have used their products in the past but I wonder if anyone has used any other manufacturer they can comment on? I found the K-Sun Green Machine but I am not sure how does it compare to lets say Brady BMP71 and how much more expensive or cheaper their consumables are? Any other products worth mentioning?
