Program a START STOP Motor in Studio 5000 with a Seal In

[@NickHaruk]

Thank you for this video. I watched this, and was able to modify a AB micro 1200 malfunctioning output, to an unused one, restoring a machine to operation. Boss is very impressed. I think I saved his butt in more ways than just the pocket book. You do terrific videos, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience!

[@TimWilborne]

You are welcome Nick!

[@albieganzuomeng3384]

Thank you, Tim, This will be helpful to me as I am learning to program a Start/stop of a pump from level and low-level switches signals.

[@TimWilborne]

Excellent! Check out this video that operates a lead lag pump setup based off of level switches. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mquui2eNrauMj6s

The 15:22 Squirrel comment made me spit out my coffee. Tim, these are phenomenal videos! Thanks so much for such great content. I have learned so much from you. All the best. Pete

[@TimWilborne]

Glad to hear they have been helpful Pete!

Thank you So Much Tim !

You are very welcome

Great video Tim 👍

[@TimWilborne]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@garysmith6073]

Great video! I feel its much easier just to create the tag and attach it to the address than to type out the local address.

[@TimWilborne]

Yes Gary, aliases make programming much easier.

I’m having a problems with my software, I can’t add any output or rung from my bar, my professor told me is something about compatibility of my screen. Do you have any idea how to fix it? I appreciate your help. Thanks

[@TimWilborne]

Are you online? If so, it the PLC in RUN mode? You won't be able to make online changes if it is not in REM.

[@akupadhyayula]

Great Videos Tim - can you please make or point to existing video on how to read existing ladder logic program and make sense. I keep running into circles and waste lot of time.

[@TimWilborne]

That can be tough. I'm going to start reviewing PLC program, the first one being my very first program. Tentatively that live be a live stream on 6/10/2021 so make sure you are subscribed so you will know the date and time when I post it.

[@akupadhyayula]

@@TimWilborne Subscribed. Thank you. This video was very helpful in visualizing the bit instructions. I like the idea of playing with bit instructions and lights and toggle to understand them how they work. I will get needed hardware and start configuring my 1756 :)

[@JaytovenTracks]

amazing video. Very imformative

[@TimWilborne]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jesuslite2000]

You mentioned in program mode even if there is a 1 in the data table for the output the plc doesn't physically turn on that output unless it's turned on elsewhere. Would that be used in programming for a power failure to make a powered on output the default in certain situations?

[@TimWilborne]

I'm not following you. In a power failure, the PLC and outputs would be "off". If you wanted to signal to something else that the power is off, you would need to use a normally closed relay.

[@benedalati1527]

if I use a BASE tag to mimic an internal relay how do i do the wiring to make it work. I can do it with a real relay but not with an internal bit (BASE). Thanks

[@TimWilborne]

Use a BOOL data type

[@mw3blackopsglitches]

Do you have a video example using this with MCR?

[@TimWilborne]

Do you mean a physical MCR (Safety relay) or the instruction. Honestly, I haven't seen an MCR instruction used in decades in a PLC program.

[@XXrandomXXification]

where is the video that you did the wiring?

[@TimWilborne]

Here you go. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5PVkmuXqtSZecU

[@beejmanbarnes]

How do I find an unused Output? Having trouble finding out how

[@TimWilborne]

Cross reference the word

[@christopherdean2893]

Good video

[@TimWilborne]

Thank you

[@techtopics5782]

Do you have an explanation of .C vs .Data? Just wondering because I'm new to studio 5000 and I'm altering PLC code on a program where the guys used .C for some reason. Everything I find people use .Data... So I'm wondering the difference.

[@TimWilborne]

It gives you access to the same information that you can find on the configuration tab of the module properties.

[@dhh488]

Can the seal-in be used with one push button, or is best to use one On and one Off button? Thanks for the video!

[@TimWilborne]

It is called a flip flop or a toggle. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4KpXnt9rb2td8U

[@dhh488]

@@TimWilborne I just saw your response now, a year later. Thank you for that, and also thanks for making all these great videos.

12:35 Its micro seconds, PLCs are insanely fast these days

[@h12xaddl]

Thanks, no domino el inglés Pero si entiendo su lógica , gracias

Glad to hear!
