RE: Koyo PLC's?
The EZ panels are great and I have no complaints with any of them. I built a robotic assembly cell 3 years ago with 2 IA robots, DL240 plc, and the Direct touch panel and it has run 24/7 for 3 years without any hiccups. I can do everything faster, quicker, smarter, and probably more reliably with this stuff than anything else I've used. I base above statement on volume of calls on existing base and experience of developing the same project with Direct Logic and then another plc. If you use a few, you'll see what I mean. I let other people pay for parties for plc salesmen.
RE: Koyo PLC's?
DL06 is a good small size PLC.
Depending on your previos experience with
other brands some attention should be paid
to counters (only UP, BCD format preset) and instruction LD (octal format), also make shure in comparison instruction used same data format.
I bilt small robot on this PLC and Stepper motors, it works well but limitation with counters make program longer and teach pedant more complicated.
EZ panel OK, really easy to program.
Pay attention to String handling limitations for some PLC brands ( for AB need to convert String file to N or B using
DATA move functions).
Thanks,
Vladimir.
RE: Koyo PLC's?
Second issue is on the EZ220 panel messages. I have status messages that get enabled when a contact closes but the message won't clear out once I disable it. I assume that the messages only display when a transistion occurs on the rung. So based on that, I have a contact that is changing state every second, and put that in series with the message output that I would like to see normally. But the message still is not over written. Any help on that?
