Posted 31 Jan 2016 Hi ! I have a question regarding the handling of the signal from the TS102 connected to my PLC. I downloaded a .pdf LINKED from "my omron", read it and put together a small program just to test the expansion unit and sensors. But I cant get any readings from the sensors and can't figure out why. I have never used a TS102 expansion unit before and would be glad if someone have an idea of what I'm doing wrong. Everything is brand new, so I'm quite sure I am the problem here..... If someone have an answer and maybe even an programming example to upload I would really appreciate it. Best Regards!

Posted 31 Jan 2016 You did not mention, what values are you seeing in your CIO2, 3, 4 and 5 ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 31 Jan 2016 I get 7FFFhex in all four CIO2, 3, 4, 5 and they never change, thats just it. They are static. 7FFFhex and &32767 PT100 sensors seems OK when measuring ohm's. TS102 dipswitch set to OFF - OFF rotary switch set to 0 Anything else you need, let me know. Thanks! // Arrowsmith74 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 31 Jan 2016 Your dip-switches and rotary switch seem OK. The ladder is not a problem, since you don't need any ladder at all to read values in your 4 channels. (CIO2, 3, 4 and 5) What about the wiring? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 31 Jan 2016 I will do my wiring explanation by both words and some pictures..... I have all 4 sensors hooked up to the TS102. I measured the sensor wires to make a desicion which wire is which. yellow-green is not the sensor output was my decision, so I went for the red one as output and green -yellow as "loop" wires. Here's some pictures of how I measured and how I connected them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 31 Jan 2016 I can't help with this, I only worked with thermocouples, but everything else seem OK so maybe you should try to connect otherwise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 31 Jan 2016 (edited) I have done that now, while waiting. No difference. Switched places for all 3 wires of first sensor, no luck. Edited 31 Jan 2016 by arrowsmith74 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 2 Feb 2016 Your wiring is perfect. From the manual: Handling Unit Errors • Expansion Unit and Expansion I/O Unit errors are output to bits 0 to 6 of word A436. The bits are allocated from A436.00 in order starting from the Unit nearest the CPU Unit. CP1W-/CPM1A-TS002 and CP1W-/CPM1ATS102 Temperature Sensor Units are allocated two bits each. Use these flags in the program when it is necessary to detect Expansion Unit/Expansion I/O Unit errors. • When an error occurs, the Temperature Sensor Unit data becomes 7FFF hex (the same as for an open-circuit detection). With an open-circuit detection, it is not reflected in word A436. Please tell us the following: Value of Auxiliary Word A436 Provide picture of dip switch and rotary switch. We may be assuming wrong on/off positions. Also rotary position for 0 is not directly up. Check rotary switch to be slightly to the right from up.

Posted 2 Feb 2016 Hi everyone! Problem solved! Today i brought my PLC with me to another office and prepared to contact Omron support. Connected everything and powered up, and suddenly it worked perfectly without doing any changes...... I was crestfallen..... This is the worst thing I know. I have to be able to rely on this PLC that means I have to locate the problem and now it was gone.... I called the support as I had contacted one specific guy by mail with this matter earlier and he was waiting. Explained the situation and he checked by Teamviewer and we came to the conclusion that it was hard to do anything else than let it be. Stuffed everything back in the box and took it back to the workshop. Powered up and guess what, problem is back and there are no values to read again. Didn't know if i should be mad or happy, but i decided to be happy and started ruling out the potential culprits and It took me less than 1 minute to go through what was different now compared to the other situation when it works, and I ended up changing out the power supply which was left in place before. Problem solved. Values back. It was the powesupply that caused me this problem! Obviously there is something wrong with the Power supply but it provides the right 24VDC when measuring, so I guess the problem is the quality of the power combined with a very sensitive expansion unit. Well I am not all that familiar with the english technical terms (I'm from Sweden) but "electrical ripple and harmonics" or such things might be the term I'm after. Well, it works beautifully ever since and the old powersupply is in the bin. Thanks to everyone involved here for taking your time to help me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
