when would I choose explicit vs implicity communication
@automationdirect
@automationdirect 4 күн бұрын
@Taha, generally implicit EtherNet/IP communication is easier to use, and it has a regular refresh rate, however not all controllers have that option, and in some networks you want event-based communication message rather than time cycle-based ones. This is where you might use explicit. The use of the EDS file generator for the SureServo 2 makes implicit by far the easiest option for EtherNet/IP communication as EDS files are only used in implicit connections. We recommend using implicit wherever possible.

Why would there be no 0 in click??? going from directsoft to click currently, and X0 is X1 and etc.......came so close, but that missing zero and lack of i-box instructions are killers guys, comeon now.

I understand the frustration. The Click UI was developed with a slightly different user in mind. The Do-More interface is perfect for your application and was developed in a way specifically designed to allow easy conversion from DirectSoft over to a more modern PLC setup. I would recommend you take a look at Do-More and the BRX platform for as close to a 1:1 with the older DirectSoft and DirectLogic platform as we can offer. Thanks for the comment!

Hi your videos are great!. I have been racking my brains to solve de following. I want to control two VFDs like this one with python via RS485 in "remote mode" But I want to have a "local" mode the two VFd´s can read each other DI, because I´m using their DI for security switches and door status (door open, door closed) and each one is also controlled via DI for run/stop and reverse. But I need that in "local" mode the pyhton routine that in "remote" runs as a MASTER to the VFDs slaves is now a passive or slave to the system (can´t interfere with them, but can read the VFD´s status parameters). I assume this is done via WPS ladder logic. Any help on any resource to read how this can be done ?

Mixing higher level languages like Python with low level industrial devices like a VFD is a fairly rare occurrence, so we do not have any examples for anything like that unfortunately. Depending on your requirements there could be plenty of ways to skin that particular cat. I would recommend you contact our technical support team for further details on the various mode options and I/O interlocks you can accomplish with these drives. community.automationdirect.com/s/contactsupport

@drjeco Thanks for the question! These drives may be controlled by a Do-More PLC using Modbus or EtherNet/IP but they are not actually GS drives. As such, they do not support using the GS Drive Read and Write blocks in Do-More.

@jose you will need to take a look at your digital inputs. By default, DI8 is set to a motor override and DI6 & DI7 are both set to forward and reverse overtravel switches. These will all need to be wired up to sensors or the inputs will need to be set to something different to allow you to clear the motor inhibit warning and the overtravel faults.

Great explanation! I like to put a suffix of "Struct" on all my UDTs, e.g. RecipeStruct. Then I can name CurrentRecipe heap item that is a RecipeStruct, along with a block of 100 recipes called Recipe that are also RecipeStruct (use Array index V0 to move Recipe[V0] into CurrentRecipe heap-item, then have all the control code reference the CurrentRecipe heap-item). Some people confuse the UDT definition with the actual MEMORY VARIABLE (a block and/or heap item). You only need to create ONE RecipeStruct UDT, then create as many data blocks or heap items of that UDT as you need. The example you gave of nesting multiple Timers or Counters or Strings within a UDT is VERY powerful (e.g. both a .CookTimer and .ChillTimer as Timer Struct members, along with a .Name String member).

That will vary greatly based on the field of automation you choose to enter, however one of the most important first steps that will qualify you with many customers is getting a quality insurance/bond for your work.

This is very helpful, the STO manual states "the frequency inverter must be de-energized and re-energized" if the STO is activated but clearly that's not true. Big difference! I'm confused too that the drive power supply is sufficient for the safety relay, the drive supplies 150 mA and the relay has 1.5W max consumption? It would be great to omit a transformer and power supply, but 150 mA isn't much
@automationdirect
@automationdirect Ай бұрын
@brian, glad you like the video! We show that in this video because 1.5W is 60mA @24VDC so well within the tolerance range of the power supply. Having said that, the power supply on the drive isn't replaceable, so if you did have a short it would potentially lead to the drive being replaced. In most applications it would probably be best to use an external power supply as you mentioned.

@ScalerWave, you can have them communicate using Modbus/TCP over wifi, but they will have to have a wireless network to connect to. Both are wifi radios, neither is an access point. If you have a common access point so that they can communicate with each other you can certainly have the IO from one being read into and acted on by the other like a remote IO setup would have.

It's a sad development, because we're so far from the relay machine fundamentals now with the text based coders coming into the field that we're having to reinvent anti-tie down and concurrency and all of the fundamentals we've had for decades with these kids, and they are basically working on Fiver and are here and gone so fast that it doesn't make sense to really train them. We're going to have a lot of injured operators and machines that aren't nearly as flexible as ops managers want them to be in our future.

@jimknowlton342, we completely agree. The Text based editor has a very very easy to use diagnostic window that comes up. It shows you what is going on so that will help the electrician's and such diagnose it. It is shown in every Doug Bell video for ST for this reason. Very much like STATUS - MONITOR in your other PLC lines. Prior TEXT based editors did not have that.

Thanks Doug! I programmed my first PLC in 1985. It was a Joucomatic PLC (the pneumatics vendor that sold it called it a "Joke-A-Minute") and it had an on-board keypad and programmed in boolean; I was miserable! (I still own it though and have it displayed in my garage, LOL!) My next was the Cutler-Hammer D100 and I loved it because the handheld displayed ladder. From 1990 to 2012 I was a Allen-Bradley diehard but their pricing and tight fistedness over software chased me away. I have and remain since 2012 a loyal user of Click, BRX and Productivity and choose based on application. The challenge I see is getting end users to DEMAND their factory automation be coded using Codesys to "hopefully" break Rockwell Automation's monopoly on PLCs and their terrible HMIs.

Try using C-more's SYS Clock1 sec bit for the trigger tag, that triggers on and off repeatedly. There are faster response tags, but you risk overloading the HMI and causing a host of other issues.
