IDEC PLC Programing a Sequence

[@JonBorgeson]

the best explanation I have ever heard when programming PLC - you sir are gifted

[@TheOrly89]

MAN I CANT REALY THANK YOU ENOUGH, YOUR VIDEOS HAVE HELPED ME A LOT, AS A JOURNEYMAN ELECTRICIAN IS HARD TO GET HELP FROM THE PLC TECHNICIANS, DONT KNOW IF THEY ARE AFRAID OF US STILLING THEIR JOB OR WHAT, BUT AGAIN THANKS FOR ALL THE TIME YOU HAVE PUT DOWN TO TEACH. IM GOING TO SEE AL THE VIEDEOS YOU HAVE.

[@huntxtrm]

Awesome, thanks for watching. Glad you like the videos

[@christzoy]

Thank you again for your videos. They are great! I would like to suggest a video idea if I may. A mini project of your choosing from start to finish. Plc programming, wiring, troubleshooting, connecting equipment etc. If this is something you have the time to record, I think it will be a great learning oportunity for the rest of us. Thanks again! You're the man!

Wow. Boss got me editing a program. I needed this crash course of videos.

[@dadlaponizil3687]

Thank you for putting this together. Very kind and helpful.

[@huntxtrm]

I will make a new one tomorrow evening, about timers. Been super busy at work, but I will sneek one in. Thanks for your interest!

[@jeffwoodall2110]

Do you have any videos on Pulse outputs or Pulse Width? I have a project using a stepper motor and a Stepper Motor Driver.

[@willpope302]

It took me nearly 3 weeks to figure out how to drive a stepper using the MOV and the CNT counter. While I finally figured out how to drive the stepper using these blocks, I’ve hit somewhat of a road block since I cannot speed it up any faster than the 10-ms pulse outputs will allow. Did you by chance ever figure it out using anything else?

[@kempmartin]

Hi ControlFreak. Thanks for your videos. I'm new to PLC's and I've been using an IDEC FT1A with the Wind LDR V8 software. So far I've managed to make some great programs which we now use in our own controllers, however I'm having trouble creating a program for a dual wastewater pump program that will alternate the pumps each time the first input closes. I'm also trying to make it switch to the other pump if the called pump is in fault/overloaded etc. A lesson on this would be awesome. Keep up the good work.

[@huntxtrm]

That sounds like an awesome lesson! I will get it done for you. Might be this weekend, but I will get it done for you. But, i will try to get it up sooner. I have been pretty busy at work lately. Glad you are getting into programming. You wont be left behind. Automation is the tech that is going to take over. That is why I try to get electrician interested in learning it. It really is not rocket science, like some think.

[@huntxtrm]

Martin, Part 1 is up for you Buddy! I will get part 2 tomorrow to finish up the deal. Thanks for watching! Like! Subscribe! Comment! Ask! Tell your friends! Hope you enjoy the video.

[@kempmartin]

@@huntxtrm Thank you sir, you are a legend.

[@huntersblue]

When are you making more videos @control freak

[@Invibcible]

thank you, you have saved me

[@huntxtrm]

If the video quality looks bad, click on settings icon bottom right, change it to 1080P. Should be nice and clear then.

[@jean-christopheperrin1545]

Thanks for making this video! Why use a counter with a pulse instead of a timer instruction?

[@huntxtrm]

You could use separate trimers for each function. For a simple sequence this has always worked well for me. And, it is really easy to program. And, it just give a person an idea of how to use a count function. Lots of ways to skin a cat, as they say. I think this was one of my first KZbin videos. At the time there weren't many Idec videos around. So, I figured I would throw some ideas out there for people to play around with. Thanks for watching!

[@manuelvaldivia9924]

I have an FT1A plc and I am having problem download ing the WindLDR program to the PLC. As well as how to Upload the program from the PLC. Thanks.

[@huntxtrm]

@@manuelvaldivia9924 Are you using NV3? You have to use NV3 for the FT1A Touch. Make sure you have communication settings correct, for how you are connecting. Initially use USB, and be sure and update the firmware the first time you connect to it. If you would like a video, let me know. I do have an older FT1A, i could connect to. For Demo purposes.

[@fazarwira2461]

Thanks good for student technical

[@the-gts-pl]

Could you add these projects to Github, please? Thank you shuvash

[@davebarrett3733]

The audio sounds funny. What did you change.keep up the goodwork

[@huntxtrm]

That was one of my first videos. Lol. I am gradually improving, I hope. Check out some of my other videos.

[@huntxtrm]

I am using OBS for the screen capture, and a lapel mike. I need to play around with the setup a little more. If anybody has any suggestions, it would be appreciated.

[@Smackteo]

@@huntxtrm 2 years late, but OBS is fantastic for recording. You can get plenty of good sounding mics for cheap from best buy or microcenter.

[@huntxtrm]

@@Smackteo OBS is what I am using now. I have just about got descent sound now.

[@warptmanbmx]

thank you

[@ajitpalsingh2526]

hay , very nice video.thanks, can up make a video of encoder using two phase counter for positioning . ajit

[@huntxtrm]

I will try to get you something going. Be patient with me. I will get a video up for you. Thanks for subscribing.

[@huntxtrm]

Sorry I haven't gotten around to it yet. I will try and get you a video up this weekend. Thanks for hangin in there.
