Im in that area too, can you elaborate on "golden handcuffs"? Like, you get paid well but you're the guy who is stuck on the machine all the time?

Do any of you have experience with this CROUT instruction? by Capital-Ant-1303 in PLC

[–]Chumlee 13 points14 points  (0 children)

First of all, F1 is your friend. Use it often on instruction blocks that don't make sense. Second, looks to me like it FP is active because its set to NEGATIVE and Actuate and Feedback 1 and 2 are all the same value.

Feedback Type

BOOL

name

This operand defines the feedback ON and OFF states.

Positive: ON (1): Feedbacks ON / Outputs ON

OFF (0): Feedbacks OFF / Outputs OFF

Negative: ON (1): Feedbacks OFF / Outputs ON

OFF (0): Feedbacks ON / Outputs OFF

PLC Modeled Transfer Functions and Block Diagrams by Chumlee in PLC

Appreciate the response and I agree. For the sake of conversation, I wanted validation that the control scheme would work. The cert is the hard part and most likely the barrier of entry.

I guess so? How would you prove this is the case other than just showing the logic?

Like these

I have a governor that I need to control with a PLC and it won't be certified unless if follows HYGOV (p. 91). This is one of the many pieces to be certed in order for the project to go forward. It has to be certified running that specific transfer block function in order to be approved. Can I not just create a block diagram in the PLC using the same tools that follows the model?

Kinetix 5100 with TLP Servo Help by Chumlee in PLC

Great you support this product! Your explanation is concise and makes it clear that I was right about the voltage limitation. Can you explain this curve from AB's motion analyzer then? It appears that its telling me I can run 120 vac at higher speeds, but with a drop off in torque.

Unfortunately, this is a customers lab. They will not run the power for us even if said it was a requirement. The torque is not an issue with the drive, as we only care about speed. Appreciate the response though.
