@@PeteVree the stop is in NC true state that way connection automatically bypasses through stop and it makes sense when you press start button NO state, engages and connection is established to the coil which stays engaged. When you press the stop button the NC State changes to false thus disengaging the circuit. So the stop button should be a NC button. Great video though. Worked in previous interfaces this new one the 1200 looks great. Good job I'll give you a like

[@amritpalsingh-fr4cd]

@@PeteVree Stop is considered healthy with NC for safety reason. For example, if you consider stop healthy with NO contact and if the wire is broken then stop will always be healthy. This is an unsafe condition.

[@PeteVree]

@Kevin had this to add to the discussion: E-stops rules dictate a NC contact as the first means of control in a ladder that is in series with the whole control circuit. Aside from that,, you have to break the current flow on your rung, so naturally a NC just works. Technically speaking you could do a NO stop and run it through a relay as a NC, but why? Good practice for this particular circuit would be a NC e-stop first then a NO stop push button followed by your NO start in parallel with your coil latch, etc. I think what got people talking is you made a generic motor control circuit as a PLC program which is an unconventional approach to PLC programming. This was obviously a tutorial on how TIA works not how to program a complex set of ladder instruction. In my world, e-stops wouldn't live in this section of a ladder, but rather run through the first few rungs in series with other safety devices with redundant inputs and an output manifested as an input in this section as a NC.

I think you may need a crossover cable to connect the PC directly to the PLC. I didn't need one but you may...

[@PeteVree]

Yes. The crossover cable comes with the starter kit.

[@shawnshipton2190]

The reason plugging it into the back of your PC did not work is because, by default, the Ethernet is setup as DHCP and gets a IP dynamically thru a DHCP server, in a router most typically, otherwise it does not have a distinguishable IP. Plugging it into a router was the easiest solution as it both provided the laptop an IP and put both devices on the same network so the software could find the PLC, another solution if out in the field without a router is that you can setup your laptop Ethernet port, IPV4 network adapter, with a static IP.

[@donstillwell9894]

Great video very informational. Comment: when you plugged your Ethernet cable from your PC directly into the PLC I'm pretty sure you would need to use a cross Ethernet cable to communicate direct. I'm not for sure on Siemens PLC but I know for sure you have to use a cross cable to communicate directly from a PC to a Allen Bradley PLC. Thank again for the Video!

[@Muhammed.Sadik94]

Thank you so much for your time.. it was helpful.. I have a question...we can use normally closed contact for the stop button and i think it will be more practical .. can we?

[@PeteVree]

Yes. You can configure your program to match your wiring of each individual switch. However, just keep in mind that for Stop switches, E Stops... there may be safety requirements that must be adhered to in the specs or local Code requirements.

[@mofuonamotorcycle]

Mohammad, think about this. If I pulled the wires out of your stop button, how do you stop the machine before it kills someone? For safety reasons, the physical stop buttons and emergency stop buttons in the field are ALWAYS normally closed. This means the PLC is always receiving a signal from the push button. The reason for this is that if the cable is cut, the machine will stop instantly. This is fail safe. For the same reason the start button is ALWAYS normally open. If the cable is pulled out of the button, the machine will not start by itself. When designing circuits, always think, you have to stop it from accidentally starting and you always have to be able to stop it.

[@dujevideka1230]

@@mofuonamotorcycle i believe Mohammad was aware of the safety standard and his question was why Pete(and also couple other guys on YT) is programming the stop button as NO

[@mofuonamotorcycle]

@@dujevideka1230 if the button in the field is normally closed, then the NO in the logic is always receiving an input unless the stop button is pressed. If its normally closed in the field, the logic in the program is reversed. The NO acts like a normally closed until the stop button is pressed.

[@electricaltech4u45]

Nice sir. Can be possible I restart my plc. Because suddenly stop and yellow light blinking?

If you look to the top right of the TIA Portal screen, once you place the PLC in Monitoring mode, there should be a window that you can open to toggle the PLC back into Run Mode.

[@mofuonamotorcycle]

I found the reason why we can't connect directly from the PC to PLC with the stuff that comes in the kit. If you look closely at the plug on the green ethernet cable, there are only 4 wires in it, not 8. It must be for the hmi to plc connection only. Use a standard patch lead and you can connect straight to the PLC without using a router.

[@PeteVree]

I believe that there is no additional setup for using a router, you are simply giving the PLC an IP that is similar to your laptop. for example: 192.168.2.12 or 192.168.1.31 How to find the IP address of your computer: www.bing.com/videos/search?q=ip+address+of+my+computer+windows+10&view=detail&mid=25CA2D442E90ED15D10425CA2D442E90ED15D104&FORM=VIRE

The Normally Open instruction looks for the presence of voltage, or that a 1 is in the memory. It is completely opposite of the electrical wiring. Another term that may help is XIC Examine if Closed -||- and XIO Examine if Open -|\|-

[@M0stBlunt3d]

What;s the reason for using NO contact to denote a NC pushbutton? Is that always how it's done? When you press the button it opens up in the field but latches in the program?

[@M0stBlunt3d]

Thanks, bud! All clear now!

[@M0stBlunt3d]

Hi Pete, back to this question, I noticed unless I have a physical input (I don't, doing everything in PLC SIM), How do I mimic the default state of the button to be NC? I want the contact in the PLC to show as NO but the button default to be NC so logic is true, but I can't figure it out. Seems I have to make due with a NC contact in the PLC program and NO button in the HMI?

[@mofuonamotorcycle]

This is because the HMI is not a push button. The program written is using the digital input connected to a NC push button. The HMI is on profinet, it is not connected to the inputs. You would rewrite the code using latching blocks so that all the conditions for on such as safety relays, guards etc turn on a memory bit called "safe to run". Then you would have "safe to run" & "pb_start" & "hmi start" latch the block on. Then you would have "not safe to run" & not "pb stop" & "hmi stop" unlatch the run signal

stop switch should be normally closed not normally open

[@PeteVree]

If you can explain why I'd appreciate it. In my understanding, the Stop PB is physically wired as a normally closed contact. In some Siemens demonstrations they use a normally closed instruction. However, in that case, you will have not way to see whether there is an issue with the push button contacts. By using a Normally Open, you can see immediately if the Stop PB has a loose wire.

[@PeteVree]

My best answer is that Delta is a smaller company, they make the software free for use in the hopes that you purchase the actual PLC and thereby increase their market share. However, Siemens and Allen Bradley have a much larger market share and so they can charge a large fee for the software. At this point I am not aware of any free versions of the TIA Portal. I totally agree with you that the price point is way too high for those entering the field and It would be nice if they provided a limited demo version for those of us learning their software.
