Trial Run of Delta PLC

Before Starting the Trial Run of Delta PLC anyone should check following things

Power Indication of Delta PLC

1. At the front of the MPU or the expansion unit, there is a “POWER” LED. When the MPU is powered ON, the LED (in green) will be ON. If the indicator is not on when the MPU is powered up, it means there is problem that DC power supplies to PLC. Thus, it is important to check whether the wiring of +24V and 0V are properly conducted. If ERROR LED is blinking swiftly, it means +24VDC does not supply enough power to delta PLC.

2. If the other indicator, “L. V”, that locates at the front of the extension unit is on, it means that the input power voltage to the extension unit is insufficient, and the output from the extension unit should be prohibited.

Preparation

1. Make sure that the power wiring and the I/O wiring are both conducted properly before the power ON. Please ensure NOT supply AC110V or AC220V to the I/O terminals, or the wiring might be short circuit which would damage the PLC directly.

2. After using the peripheral devices to write the program into the MPU and that the ERROR LED of the MPU is not on, it means that the program in use is legitimate, and it is now waiting for the user to give the RUN command.

3. Use HPP to execute the forced On/Off test of the output contact.

Operation & Testing DVP14SS Delta PLC:

1. If the ERROR LED of the MPU is not blinking, use the peripheral device to give the RUN command, and the RUN indicator will then be on.

2. HPP could be utilized to monitor the settings and the registered values of the timer, the counter and the data register during operation. Also it is used to force the I/O contacts to conduct the On/Off motion. If the ERROR LED is on (but not blinking), it means that the setting of the user’s program has exceeded the preset time-out limit. At this case, please turn the PLC RUN/STOP switch to STOP, and find out the address of the time-out program by special data register D1008. ”WDT” instruction can be used to solve the problem.

The PLC I/O Response Time:

The total response time of the PLC from the input signal to the output motion is calculated as follows:

“Response Time” = “input interface delay time” + “user’s program scan time” + “output motion delay time”

Build a Key Operated Gate Locking System Circuit

This simple key-operated gate locking system allows only those persons who know the preset code to open the gate. The code is to be entered from the keypad within the preset time to operate the motor fitted in the gate. If anyone trying to open the gate presses a wrong key in the keypad, the system is disabled and, at the same time, sounds an alarm to alert you of an unauthorized entry. Figs 1 and 2 show the block and circuit diagrams of the key-operated code locking system, respectively. Connect points A, B, C, D, E, F and ground of the circuit to the respective points of the keypad. Keys S7, S16, S14 and S3 are used here for code entry, and the remaining keys are used for disabling the system. It is very important to press the keys in that order to form the code. To start the motor of the gate, press switches S7, S16, S14 and S3 sequentially. If the keys are pressed in a different order from the preset order, the system will lock automatically and the motor will not start. Fig. 1: Bl...

A basic Arduino Solar PV Monitor

I have just recently had solar pv installed, mainly to future proof my energy costs, I do not expect it to be like drilling for oil in my back garden, however the return looks to be encouraging. The install gives you another single unit meter, from this you will see the total amount the panels produce, but that is about it. I wanted to know how much the production was as it was happening, I discovered the light blinks on the front of the meter will flash 1000 times for each kWh of electricity which passes through. The rate of the flashing of the LED tells you how much power is currently passing through the meter. [ ]

Apple releases TV spot for new iPods

Apple has just released a fun commercial to showcase its new line of iPod players and the various colours they come in. The TV spot titled ‘Bounce’, has a bunch of colourful iPod touch, iPod nano and iPod shuffles er…bouncing to music. With all that colour and dancing and bouncing, you may forget that Apple’s latest gen line of iPods has some other awesome features. For instance, the fifth gen iPod touch comes with Siri, 4-inch retina display and an A5 chipset. Maybe the next ad will showcase some of these features with less bouncing.link
