Posted 6 Feb 2022 I’ve just installed a new PLC (AFP0RC32T) onto my vacuum forming machine (it produces plastic packaging by forming a piece of plastic sheet by using a mold), replacing an old and faulty PLC that came with the machine (AFP02543-F). Everything works fine, but after every 10-40 sheets produced, it always stops by itself, so I have to keep starting the operation. The weird thing is I tested just running the machine without putting any sheets on to the machine, the machine works fine for hours. But once we put the plastic sheet, it will stop again after few sheets. Does it have any to do with the model of Inverter? At the moment I’m using Inverter VFO 400V 2.2 kW BFV00224-E. Thank you for your help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 6 Feb 2022 There's insufficient information to diagnose your problem. You will need to examine the logic that stops the cycle and determine which signals could be responsible. Then check each of those signals. Ideally, the code would include (or you could add) "first-out" capturing logic to identify the problem signal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 6 Feb 2022 (edited) Thank you for your reply. I’m sorry I forgot to add some more details, it’s a Panasonic PLC. These are the photos of my old (came with the machine) and new PLC. I noticed there’s a difference in OUT 0.1A and OUT 0.2A, I’m not sure if this could make a difference ? Edited 6 Feb 2022 by Hendryyyy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
