Practical Tips and Techniques
We will now look at wiring interposing relays to connect an NPN and PNP sensors into the PLC. Interposing relay means a device that will separate two different circuits. The isolation can be for current consumption, voltage differences, voltage references, or a combination of both current and voltage. We can use these relays to help … Read more
Every program usually has some kind of data movement. This is the ability to transfer information from one area of the controller to another. The Omron CP1H series of programmable logic controllers provide several different ways to manipulate this information. We will be looking at several different ways in which data movement can happen with … Read more
The Omron CP1H series of programmable logic controllers are capable of having 4096 basic counters. There are two basic counter instructions in the PLC. Each of the basic instructions can be either binary or BCD. The memory area for counters has separate areas for the Counter PVs (Present values) and the Counter Completion Flags. We … Read more
The Omron CP1H series of programmable logic controllers are capable of having 4096 timers. There are twelve different timing instructions in the PLC. Six binary and six BCD instructions for the set values of the timers separate the six basic instructions. The memory area for timers has separate areas for the Timer PVs (Present values) … Read more
The Omron CP1H series of programmable logic controllers have a fixed input and output addressing system. Every PLC has its own way of addressing its inputs and outputs. We will be looking at how the CP1H series of controller addresses its inputs and outputs. Numbering systems used in this controller will also be looked at … Read more
We will now look at online editing, setting, and forcing that can be done on the Omron CP1H controller. The Omron CP1H series of programmable logic controllers are capable of online programming. This is when the PLC is solving logic and at the end of the scan, programming logic is added or modified. The next … Read more
