I have a license Studio 5000 software on my work laptop for as need purposes as a Field Engineer. I don’t always use it as often as I should, though the time I find I’m watching some video on Studio 5000 learning sometime is often in my entirely free time like right now on a Sunday morning. Go figure. But I did learn a few things watching the vid curiously that I wasn’t quite aware of and if one learns just one new thing in fundamental programming, it helps. However, I was roaming around looking for a video as well online on your webpage but couldn’t identify one for Loop Checking. That would be loop checking mostly 4-20mA signals to check wiring as well proper analog, digital feedback. If you can just point me in correct direction if that video exist.

We have a lot of 4-20mA videos. Not sure the specifics you are looking for but Measuring kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnW2hpmnqNSSm6M Long video with wiring and configuring kzbin.info20QltAiD_G4 Simulating with our SIM-ALP2 kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3etkKRuatWMd9U

Great video!!

Thanks!

Great vid Tim! What is the one before this?(to see wiring)

[@TimWilborne]

Here you go, also, I just recorded a revised one that doesn't require the extra wiring. It should be uploaded soon kzbin.info/www/bejne/oarGnZ2VbNVjrLs

Hii, I have a flow meter KEYENCE FD-Q20C it's analog output (4-20ma) 0-100 litres. And used for oil flow application now I need how much litres oil flo in pipe line. How to program output value in to HMI.

Nice stuff. Never did understand why the SCL instruction isn't available in ladder.... All the cool kids use ladder....

[@TimWilborne]

Right!

I have an 1769-if4xof2 wired in and it's showing 32640 input... isn't that over ranged? I'm not sure how to get into this analog input to operate my linear transducer

[@TimWilborne]

I'm wildly guessing your have a 4 wire device wired as a 2 wire device.
