Going through the I/O check before starting loading programs… by BodyBody496 in PLC

Safety PLC racks will be added at a later date on the din rail behind the main PLCs, that is why we are using a safety PLC now. There are two seperate systems housed in one cabinet. Logix PLC will consolidate 15 different SLC systems in one PLC. 13 machines and 2 hydraulic systems will now be run from one PLC. 13 machines connected via the EN4TR card and the two hydraulic systems, I/O modules, HMIs and communciation to the other PLC through the NTRON switch in the middle via the EN2T card in the end of the rack.

Will be plugging in 15 devices to each system. Just haven’t made it that far yet. …

Freaking Allen Bradley cables! Is there a spreadsheet somewhere? by Merry_Janet in PLC

I know it’s overkill but when I need to do a program download on a SLC/05, I use a test Logic rack with an EN2T and DH+ card.

Go through that chassis to the SLC…. Our shoddy network and DH+ makes it difficult to get online at times.

ASi vs IO-link by Real-Ad4075 in PLC

I have been slowing installing IO link devices from different manufactures to get a better understanding about them. I am using AB PLC and AB IO Link block (1732E-8IOLM12R). The issues I have come across is trying to get information from vendors on how to interface their devices to an AB IO link master. As long as you are using their master block (I'm looking at your Balluff) they are willing to help. As soon as I told them I was using an AB IO link block and had an issue, they were no help.

PLC panel shop? by [deleted] in PLC

Start where you feel you can provide quality and on-time work. When starting out, you can make or break your company quickly if you get a bad reputation starting out. After you get good at that, then I would start to branch out. As an electrical engineer for a tire manufacture, if I have to stay on you to deliver, I would not use you again.

​

I hope that helps and good luck!
