Technical support / Re:Starting the Cycle Over without Master Reset
« on: July 17, 2008, 12:34:01 PM »
your asking me how did I make your program do something its no supposed to..... can't answer that

and what is wierd is that on another timer right able that label it won't allow me to do more then ten but right below it are the alaram lables which are full length

good question is why did you limit it to 10 when windows can handle up to 14 and PC is what you based the program off... PS> hope your working on a linux version~ since windows lacks all the power and controls of linux

anyways...

I like the save eeprom before master reset idea so it constantly saves the data that I am gathering and forwarding back to the server, and if it looses power it will still have the last scan in memory

so theres a bonus

I'll give each option a try but I think I'll need two of those three so that I can latch on a relay to control an inline compressor that on one machine can only run at night like I mentioned early

so far loving all the options that this PLC gives and know it can do far more then what I have asked it to do as a complex " Sprinkler timer"

ok, here is the program in JPG
be kind ;D
I'm sure alot of this could be combined on one rung but
this way I know what each rung does

as an FYI, this is an injection timer control systems for
a water system, the alarms are to let you know if the tanks are imminently overflowing, so I will next add in the commands so that if either alarm 1 or alarm two are energized the system comes to a hault

also need to add in that for the alarms, the special function commands for email, which there is a nice example code of on the cd, then after that, need to add real time clock references into it so that it only runs the ladder 4 times a day as long as the cycle falls between the right hours since I plan to have some option to only run an output relay between the nighttime hours when no one cares about noise since they are asleep~~

from one timer to the next and then a counter countdown to a 5
hour delay, then it hits the master rest

is there a way to export the ladder to post here as copy??

its printable to pdf but that doesnt help

Ok, new to Triangles way of doing PLC's so I need help from the experts, which would be you guys here.


Slowly but surely figuring out all of the little things the T100MD+ with XServer can do.

But I'm stuck now.

I have a program written to control 4 inputs and 6 outputs.
I have counters and timers o plenty running.
In short what I want to do is have the 6 hour program run, complete, count as needed, and then loop back to run the same sequence again without loosing any of the counters since I use them to track the number of times things run.

I have it running the full 6 hour runtime and then to get it to do it again I have it hit a counter that when finish energizes the master reset.


All the help you can give is appreciated because I need this to work big time. After I figure this out I need to move onto using the real time clock and the special email functions to report back to excel link. Email I think I have figured out.

So this is where I will sit waiting for help.

THANKS,

Bats













Here is the layout currently:


Program :    4 Six Hour Cycle Sequential Timing
Elements:   4
_____________________________________

Sequential Cycles will begin with POWER ON
Boot Delay Timer has been applied.
PLC will now check all inputs and outputs for current status.

INPUT 1: NO : SWITCH + LAMP - POWER + GREEN
INPUT 2:
INPUT 3:
INPUT 4:
INPUT 5:
INPUT 6:
INPUT 7: NC: SWITCH - LOW LEVEL ALARM
INPUT 8: NC: SWITCH - HIGH LEVEL ALARM

OUTPUT 1: NO: VALVE + LAMP  - WATER
OUTPUT 2: NO: MOTOR + LAMP  - SOLUTION
OUTPUT 3:
OUTPUT 4:
OUTPUT 5: NO: LAMP - JESTATION PROGRESS
OUTPUT 6: NO: LAMP - BREW TANK JESTATION
OUTPUT 7: NO: LAMP - LOW LEVEL ALARM
OUTPUT 8: NO: LAMP - HIGH LEVEL ALARM

COUNTER 1 : SOLUTION INJECTIONS (360 PER 90 DAYS) COUNT DOWN
COUNTER 2: JESTATION CYCLES (360 PER 90 DAYS) COUNT DOWN
COUNTER 3 : WATER FILL AND FLUSH (450 PER 90 DAYS) COUNT DOWN
