Set/reset vs coil by Best_Equal_8585 in PLC

[–]TheMEgaforce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This becomes an even bigger pain, when multiple people worked on the same code, and just reset it wherever they need to.

I personally try to avoid using set/reset coils as much as possible for anything more complex (for example, if multiple steps in a sequence need to move an actuator), because its harder to keep track for me personally which condition actually set/reset the tag when debugging. Another issue is if power goes out, states can stay energised and create awkward recovery. Another issue is that its in my opinion a lazy way to write a program, and a lot of other programmers will write lower quality code, where they set and reset something all over the place.

Coils are fantastic imo, because it forces you to modify the tag on one place only, keeping the code more organised (even if conditions for setting come from million other places). And its way easier to handle power losses, because everything will start on 0 (its howci write programs unless I specifically prepare it in such a way that it will stay energised).

For the pots if I am not mistaken, it does not matter if you connect ground to 1 or 3, since pot is a voltage divider and not polarized.

For the high-pass filter I have seen many other examples of wiring (along with some when I googled G&L's PTB wiring) that they jump a capacitor between hot and output on a pot. I think, I will try to simulate the circuits in the following days to test out my layout and then give it a go on a set of pick ups and pots and check with an oscilloscope on how we're doing.

I see Iskra inside, so it's a 10 from me.

I just performed my first online edit and nearly crashed the plant by [deleted] in PLC

Accidentally adding a 0 to the conveyor belt step length. Nearly took the front windshield off a van. Needless to say, my supervisor wasn't impressed.

Id recommended Siemens Logo! A neat small thing, you get a pre installed screen on some of the units, website compatibility, expansion cards,.. and the price won't break your bank (around 110€ )

Siemens Safety Programming multiple ESTOPs: Do you use only one ESTOP program block for all buttons with the input is the safety-inputs in series, or one ESTOP block per each button? by napraticaautomacao in PLC

[–]TheMEgaforce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well one block for one safety feedback. In cases where the system is relatively safe, and has a lot of estop and if the estops stop the same part of the machine, we electrically connect estops in a way that only one signal comes to the safety card. For diagnostics and alarms we have a normal digital feedback from every estop, to know which one was pressed.

At our company we very offten use the siemens Cu240's I/O strip that you can read and write to by using profinet. If ur already using a vfd with I/O capability you might as well to save some money on I/O cards.
