Learning programmable logic controllers (PLC) include understanding of the basic components, language, numbering systems, program development. PLC Basics will help in your learning of the programmable logic controller. If this is your very first time programming a PLC, we suggest you check out our beginner’s guide to programmable logic controllers. Hardware and Software – PLC … Read more
Turn a capacitive proximity sensor into a level sensor. This is ideal for tanks and vessels you cannot drill through the side for mounting. Wrap the bare wire around the sensing head and extend it to the length you need to detect. Insulate the wire using electrical tape, but leave the end exposed. This acts … Read more
DC Solenoids are the worse culprits for electrical surges in your system. When the electrically generated field collapses, an opposite polarity voltage is generated. This voltage spike can be high enough to weld the contacts on a PLC output relay. To protect your PLC output relay, use a diode to ensure that the voltage spike … Read more
The term I/O means Input/Output. I/O can come in two different types; Discrete or Analog. Most people starting out learning about programmable logic controls (PLC) are taught all about discrete inputs and outputs. Data is received from devices such as push-buttons, limit-switches, etc., and devices are turned on such as motor contactors, lights, etc. Discrete … Read more
