Good job!!! This video is very helpful, just one question, this kind of PLC programming method (sequence table) you are using, what is the reach of this programming method for complex process? I mean, where you have more inputs and outputs as well as analog in/out, thank you

Hi Phillip, I have used this technique on multiple programs with as many as 32 inputs and outputs, both analog and digital. Here is the latest video released today that uses sequence tables and has analog as well.

Thank you for your video, it's been very helpful to me especially the programming steps. This video has made programming easier. Do you any method I can use to interpret someone else's programming? Do I need to go backward? I mean from ladder programs, to sequence table and so on?

@ACCautomation

+Alain Jude You are correct! In order to interpret and understand someone else's program you need to go backward if all else fails. If the program was written and documented well, it should be easy to understand as you read through the ladder. When documentation is lacking, I usually start by asking the operators or owner, the general sequence of operation for the machine. This way I get a general sense of the operation before starting to interpret and understand the actual program. Thanks for Watching! Garry

Isn't the N.O. Full Sensor for activating SOl_B_work_bit redundant? Would the program work the same without it there?

@ACCautomation

7 жыл бұрын

Hi Yoni, The full sensor indicates when to stop the filling of the tank. Without it you would have to have another method to indicate that enough liquid is in the tank. Looking at the sequence table in the post you can see that the switch is required. accautomation.ca/plc-programming-example-process-mixer/ Other ways to indicate that a tank is full is to weigh the tank using an analog input, or meter the product using a flow control pulse input. I have seen timers being used to some extent, but times can be very inaccurate because of the changes in the system. Things like pressure in the fill line will cause the tank to overfill or under fill sometimes. Hope this helps you out, Regards, Garry

Hi Mostafa, Thanks for the comments. The end of the cycle resets with the X2 input (Empty_Sensor_Switch) turning off. (Water Drained Out) If we want the cycle to automatically start again then use the trailing edge one shot contact on X2 in parallel with the leading edge one shot contact X0 (Start_PB). When the water finishes draining from the tank, the input X2 will turn off. This will then act as the start input for the next cycle. Thanks for the question Mostafa. Regards, Garry

Hey Garry , Thank you for the video . i have just a question about if we can do that on advancedHMI because i m trying to do that and for empty sensor and full sensor we can use NO switch ? and also about the SOL A and SOL B we can use just simple indicator? Thank you

@ACCautomation

3 жыл бұрын

Hi youness tazi, Yes, you can use AdvancedHMI as the interface to the PLC. The NC sensor is used because if the wire or sensor was damaged you would not get a signal. This then makes it a more robust system. However, you could use a NO switch. A simple indicator on the HMI would work fine for the SOL outputs. Regards, Garry

For Empty_Sensor_Switch and Full_Sensor_Switch, you use NO physical switches with XIO instructions. It makes sense because you want the switches to open the rung when closed physically. For Stop switch, you use NC physical switch, which is a safety thing. But why do you use XIC instruction for Stop switch? Should not it be XIO? Thank you very much.

@ACCautomation

3 жыл бұрын

Hi M.N.Q. Good question. You are correct that the Stop Switch is wired physically as an NC (normally closed). In the program, I am looking for something that will complete the rung when the stop is not selected (activated). In this case, I need open contacts in the ladder logic condition to complete the logic to the V0:0. When the stop is activated then the rung condition is false. If we needed to count the number of times that the stop button was pressed, then we would use the normally closed contacts in the ladder logic condition. This concept of input condition is something that a lot of people have trouble understanding at first. I hope this helps you out. Regards, Garry

Here’s what my problem is I am using a scanner to scan trills.. The output of the scanner is the input of an Air gun;; I.e my scanner is an input and my air gun is the output So this is how my process works. I am scanning trills,, when a trill passes in front of a scanner, an output is given by my scanner to the Plc,, and when there is no tray no output is given to Plc,, now what I want to do is that for the trills which are slightly longer, I want my air gun to blow them away,, Now in that case the output is gonna be given by the scanner to the plc for slightly longer time,, maybe a few milliseconds longer than the ideal case(where the trill is of perfect size) What I want to do is that my air gun shall only operate when an output of the scanner was given for that’ slightly longer time, in all other cases the air gun shall stay de-energied.. I am having confusion with how to write code in between them I have mapped my scanner to x1 input on plc and air gun to y1 output. So [XIC]energise>> ()y1 I am having confusion on what to put in between if like timers how do I measure such precise time difference and how do I Initialisé my gun with scanner input and what to do to reset it again after once it was used and held for few seconds..

Hi Arun, It sounds like you need a shift register. The input to the shift register will come from long trill, that needs to be rejected.
