PLC - Wiring inputs

This video is about My Movie 11

[@gsierra13es]

Bro, thank you. You're helping me get a job. I'm an electrician trying to understand plc, and you really made it simple

[@Mikesfilmss]

Glad it’s helping you!

[@Nosipho-tl3yr]

There is always that one guy who will pull you out of the mud, thank you so much❤

[@Mikesfilmss]

No problem! Glad you found it useful!

[@everflores9484]

I'm a Chemical Engineering student in Argentina and I want to thank you for explaining this in so simple terms, man. You really helped put everything into perspective considering how little I knew about electricity before this year.

[@pallmall5913]

Great teacher. i'm electrician and very interested in PLCs because things have changed greatly for the past decade in my country. PLC looks somehow complicated but you made it more interesting. great job man👍

[@fettyguapo]

Thank you for making these videos man really appreciate the time you put in this it’s really helping me and a lot of people. Love that you show the actual components you’ll wire into instead of showing just a picture.

[@user-kg3xk5dy8q]

Waw, u are doing so much in dese lecture bhaiya, thank you this play list is amazingq

[@mayurimahadik8763]

Thanks a lot for clearly explaining!!!

[@samalfellah2066]

Super clear way of explaining things , thanks alot

[@zachsowersfilmandphoto6659]

You just saved me on my interview! Had a buddy talking to me about PLCs and we talked for hours but providing the + or - for the rail (sinking) never came up!

[@Mikesfilmss]

Good! I'm glad to hear it!

[@brianlester2832]

EXCELLENT JOB!!!

[@juanrenatojimenezpasache5910]

thanks man. All other videos just confused me, but yours makes a lot of sense

[@Mikesfilmss]

Dude! That makes me feel good!

[@samisrour3129]

Great video tutorial ,, many thx dear.

[@mythoughts4274]

superb , thanks for the video

[@matheus_copy]

Great apresentation , helped me very much. cheers man. keep cool

[@Mikesfilmss]

Glad it helped!

[@jakobgrey]

Awesome!

[@user-sd5bc3ck7f]

Hello. You are a great teacher. I am a Mechanical Engineer in Ohio. My job requires some electric knowledge and I have been using your online courses to wire stuff up and use it as a reference.

[@Mikesfilmss]

Glad it`s helping you!

[@anplechen]

Hi! Thanks for precious content! Actually I have another wire colour code in my country but it doesn't matter, it was understandable. I am electrical design engineer (only drawings), so it was important for me to see how it works in real life. BZW before this video I was always confusing about 'sinking'' and sourcing'' terms) Please continue to make such videos!

[@Mikesfilmss]

Thanks! that means a lot!

[@seaohdwhy5180]

Yes what he said ! I have watched some vids but you simplified it more for me on this video 🤙🏻 on sinking and sourcing

[@nyambemundopu1168]

Excellent explanation.

[@Mikesfilmss]

Thank you!

[@JohnOma-onalo]

Interesting

[@EngTuryasinguraDuncans-zx6qb]

Nice 👍

[@muhammadshahzadfaisal4163]

very informative video sir. Thank you:)

[@Mikesfilmss]

Thank you! glad it helped you!

[@khankhanc1036]

Thank you Sir

[@kabandajamir9844]

Thanks so nice

[@willshin3512]

Would love to be in your class. Great video.

[@Mikesfilmss]

Wish we could have you!

[@hocvachoi4350]

good man

[@thornee04]

So if you were to use the dc outs for the inputs, can you wire the +24v to an input block and the -24v directly into the dc common (assuming sink)?

[@kalungimohammed5850]

thanks

[@YLLINEBIU]

Hi, should I supply the DC OUT with 24V and the inputs or just the inputs it'll work ??

[@Mikesfilmss]

I think if you watch my video about outputs it might be explained. If not shoot me a message

[@jaysonmarquis5136]

Just curious how a pc program is used to control a plc. Such as a encoder readout on computer program that does allow foot switch to work unless in a certain range?

[@Mikesfilmss]

I would have to see what you are working with but if I had to guess you would use an analog input and a scaling method. Sorry to sound vague I've never done something like that with this basic of a PLC but I'm sure it`s possible.

[@user-yq6jp7lc2r]

Great video, thank you for your informative class, the sourcing and sinking concept is just the opposite when we deal stuffs with microcontroller, isn't it? Please clarify? I might be wrong.😊

[@Mikesfilmss]

I would have to research that. I’ve taken a few classes on microcontrollers but I would so I very limited experience. Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@TheHigh0ctane]

In case if I need to bypass the limit switch at I/1 terminal for example, can I just put a jumper from a (+) at DC OUT terminal directly to I/1 terminal ?

[@Mikesfilmss]

Yes to turn on that input

[@ThomasShue]

How to you determine is it’s seeking or sourcing. We work in shit from France and UK as well as US equipment

[@Mikesfilmss]

That would be determined by the PLC and type of component used with the people. I plan to do a whole series on this in the next year.

[@williamellfeldt3401]

In a normal situation would you have to have a physical jumper from your negative power terminal going over to your common terminals or is that connection internal already? Thanks.

[@Mikesfilmss]

I don't want to blanket statment say yes they all have one. but all the ones I've worked on have a COM terminal that requires that negative.

[@williamellfeldt3401]

Great, thank you.

[@nworaobinna693]

if you are using a sinking input style like in your video must all the field devices have separate individual power source (24v) or must they have the same power source powering the field device

[@Mikesfilmss]

I’m not sure I'm totally understanding your question but for a sinking circuit the 24v should be common

[@billymcjack5431]

❤⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@j_v8033]

I've watched lot of videos about plc wiring, sinking and sourcing etc, but nobody explains where the dc source should come from. Should it be a separate dc power supply or originated from the plc power supply itself. Some videos tell that dc supply from plc is good only to energize I/O modules not field devices. Sinking and sourcing concept is easy to understand, but should we install separate power supply to energize field devices like proximity sensors, transmitters etc.?

[@Mikesfilmss]

Yes but some PLC`s have a DC power supply.

[@BB-jq6ek]

If I were to look up college tech courses what field is this? Working with plcs... I'm currently in an automation field I want to learn more

[@Mikesfilmss]

This was in an automation tech class

[@emedosichijioke4557]

greetings from nigeria, how do i wire the E stop to the plc using xio or using xic contacts

[@Mikesfilmss]

I show this process in another video. I think it`s called wiring the PLC

[@pansitkanton1881]

Sir how did you supply power for the PLC itself? I can't see any wires to supply the PLC . Thak You and more power to your channel. ❤

[@MrDimitris84]

Bottom left of the PLC

[@Mikesfilmss]

I have another video where i show that process if you are interested

[@behelpful1435]

Around 5:37 What is a door switch? A type of limit switch?

[@Mikesfilmss]

We just use limit switches to simulate a door switch

[@behelpful1435]

@@Mikesfilmss what is a door switch? Like a garage door switch?

[@Mikesfilmss]

@@behelpful1435 Yes a switch like that would work.

[@ceelowc1496]

Great video my plc lost output power when I press the button on the display I can hear contact for motor click there is no function I lost All lights on display and plc output
