I'm trying to tune a temperature loop using a ControlLogix.
I've used the closed and open loop methods in other PLCs . The other PLCs have given me a procedure and formula to figure out the integral and derivative time constants for their particular PID algorithm. I've looked, but have not...
I'm using a NEMA 4X enclosure that is being supplied intrinsically safe power for a Class 1 Div 2 application. In the NEMA 4X enclosure, I will have several 3-position selector switches.
1.) For those selector switches, will I need to use hermetically sealed contact blocks or am I allowed to...
I have a hypothetical question. Lets say that I have a project where I have a motor drive that sends a 0-10V signal to an Allen-Bradley PLC that represents the motor's speed (0 - 4000 RPMs). I'm not planning on using an encoder or a high speed proximity sensor w/ a high speed input card...
Here's another pdf question. I have Omron program (.cxp) file that I would like to convert to pdf.
In the past, I have opened the program using the appropriate software and clicked on File -> Print -> Print to file. I was then able to convert the file to pdf.
The only problem now is that I...
I've had a problem with animating a button in RSView. I have set it up to toggle. During the Up appearance, the button is red and the tag 'N1' is off. During the Down appearance, the button is green and the tag 'N1' is off. The tag 'N1' is supposed to turn on 2 outputs in the PLC and the outputs...
I have configured a flux vector control drive to run a belt conveyor that moves a 40lbs load using a 1hp motor. The motor is designed for this type of drive.
Here's the problem:
Our customer was running the conveyor at 300rpm and it was running fine for a while. Now it stops and then starts...
