Can you please explain how the PLC is conneceted to the drive? Also if you are using C2-01CPU with a micro-B USB to USB, what port should be selected when programming, or do you need another one connected to the PC from the PLC in PORT 1 or PORT 2? Thanks
@automationdirect 12 сағат бұрын
@TristanPowers-22 the PLC is connected to the drive using RS232. If you are using a C2-01CPU it is recommended to program through the micro-USB port or the Ethernet port using the CLICK software rather than the serial port. (in this case that serial port is talking to the advanced micro-stepper drive anyways) If you program through the USB port you shouldn't have to set any com port settings. Those are only used when programming over serial from the software.

Thanks Tom. I'm noticing that the CTRIO outputs a 50% duty cycle in the "home search" pulse profile. Is there a way to reduce it? It homes way too fast and overshoots.
@automationdirect 12 сағат бұрын
I believe there is a homing speed setting in the home search profile that will alter how fast the pulses come out of the CTRIO when that is activated. I believe the duty cycle is hard set at 50% for any of the non-PWM modes.

If "FL2000" makes the motor rotate a full rotation in the clockwise direction, what code would make the motor make a full rotation in the counterclockwise direction?
@automationdirect 13 күн бұрын
@Tristan, FL2000 will command the stepper drive to move the stepper motor forward 2000 pulses. The drive can be mapped with 2000 pulses being different number of motor rotations. In your example the drive will be set to 2000 pulses/revolution, so an FL2000 will lead to a single revolution. If the drive was set for 200 pulses/revolution, a command of FL2000 would be 10 motor revolutions. The Feed to Length command (FL) is a relative move, so you can put a sign on it. FL-2000 would rotate the motor counterclockwise in your example. Find the SCL manual here: cdn.automationdirect.com/static/manuals/surestepmanual/scl_manual.pdf Thanks for the comment!

Very insightful video. Another crucial differentiator between the two computers (because that's what they are) is long-term runtime reliability especially operating in hazardous environments. With that said though, I can see a future where Pi-based automation systems are introduced because of just how powerful and flexible these SBCs are. But the engineering and certification processes would probably end up costing as much as developing a dedicated, segragated PLC.

It is possible but strongly recommended against. There is no replaceable fuse for the internal power supplies (10VDC or 24VDC) so if you were to have a minor current event it would blow that power supply and the only solution would be to purchase a new drive. Adding a small power supply is always our recommendation to avoid this.

This did not work for me. All my DINT tags (each with 32 bits) are imported as a single tag of signed INT 32. Tag address id written as DINTtagName. For example my tag is DINT tag named HMI_Lights. It is imported as Tag Name HMI_Lights, Data Type Signed int 32, Address DINTHMI_Lights.
@automationdirect Ай бұрын
@aerodrrom that is correct. Because the AB interface for C-More addresses the tag names, the address for any of the imported tags will be the tag format (DINT, INT, REAL, BOOL, etc) and then the name of the tag. When you write the project to the screen and connect it will be able to influence those tags in your PLC.
@aerodrrom Ай бұрын
@@automationdirect I appreciate you responding, since this is ferly old video. Unfortunately that makes DINT bits (HMI_Lights.12) unusable. I can not set that bit as tag for toggle switch-button. However, I found a workaround. It took a bit tag exporting in CSV, editing, and importing back into Studio 5000. I created an Alias for each bit for all my DINT tags. Then exported it in .L5K and imported only aliases into C-more.
@automationdirect Ай бұрын
Glad that worked. Another option would be to manually create any Boolean tags needed in the Cmore tag database. It will allow you to select a DINT location and then select which bit in that DINT you want to use. It isn't super helpful for hundreds of boolean variables, but it will work for specific options if needed.

when would I choose explicit vs implicity communication
@automationdirect Ай бұрын
@Taha, generally implicit EtherNet/IP communication is easier to use, and it has a regular refresh rate, however not all controllers have that option, and in some networks you want event-based communication message rather than time cycle-based ones. This is where you might use explicit. The use of the EDS file generator for the SureServo 2 makes implicit by far the easiest option for EtherNet/IP communication as EDS files are only used in implicit connections. We recommend using implicit wherever possible.

I understand the frustration. The Click UI was developed with a slightly different user in mind. The Do-More interface is perfect for your application and was developed in a way specifically designed to allow easy conversion from DirectSoft over to a more modern PLC setup.

Hi your videos are great!. I have been racking my brains to solve de following. I want to control two VFDs like this one with python via RS485 in "remote mode" But I want to have a "local" mode the two VFd´s can read each other DI, because I´m using their DI for security switches and door status (door open, door closed) and each one is also controlled via DI for run/stop and reverse. But I need that in "local" mode the pyhton routine that in "remote" runs as a MASTER to the VFDs slaves is now a passive or slave to the system (can´t interfere with them, but can read the VFD´s status parameters). I assume this is done via WPS ladder logic. Any help on any resource to read how this can be done ?

Great explanation! I like to put a suffix of "Struct" on all my UDTs, e.g. RecipeStruct. Then I can name CurrentRecipe heap item that is a RecipeStruct, along with a block of 100 recipes called Recipe that are also RecipeStruct (use Array index V0 to move Recipe[V0] into CurrentRecipe heap-item, then have all the control code reference the CurrentRecipe heap-item). Some people confuse the UDT definition with the actual MEMORY VARIABLE (a block and/or heap item). You only need to create ONE RecipeStruct UDT, then create as many data blocks or heap items of that UDT as you need. The example you gave of nesting multiple Timers or Counters or Strings within a UDT is VERY powerful (e.g. both a .CookTimer and .ChillTimer as Timer Struct members, along with a .Name String member).
