HELP! Wiring 1214C DC/DC/DC CPU

4 posts in this topic

I am currently finishing my A.S. in Engineering Technology.  My Capstone course is to wire up a complete S7-1200 system using a 1214C DC/DC/DC CPU.  There have been no courses that have explained exactly how they are wired.  Only programming, which I am pretty good with.  There is a 120VAC to 24VDC power supply.  They want it to be wired to switches and lights for a simulator.  I am just not sure exactly how the I/O's are wired.  Is is sinked or sourced?  As far as I know, one sends the ground to the output, and one sends the 24v to the output.  I would love to speak with someone on how to wire this, as once I graduate, this is what I want to be doing, but I am stuck in a hard place as none of my classes taught us how to wire the PLC's and even worse, the programming class was all about AB PLC's.  I have not learned about Siemen's at all.  They should be pretty close to the same, but I know there has to be some differences.  Also, how they have it set up, there are 2 power supplies on the plastic panel just to the left of the picture.  This seems to me as this is a sinking I/O.  Am i off?

Hello, the Photo is a little bit dark,  I can't read the marking. anyway Please try to check the attached picture, it might help you.

So the l1 is going to be the input from the power supply, correct?  since the supply is a 120vac in/24vdc out, i would run the 24v to the input of the cpu since it is the dc/dc/dc model.  Then the #4 is going to run the power to my PB's or toggles, and then back to my inputs so when the switch is pressed, it will activate that input.  am i on the right track?  Then the outputs, im not sure what exactly i need to do.  power to the 1 &6, which leaves 6 lights all wired to a neutral?

Hi Allen,

Yes, your CPU is taking 24VDC as incoming power supply. Jairus's photo is another CPU modal.
