I have been thinking that the problem might be caused by the scan sequence of the PLC. If one of the instructions in the program is reacting at the wrong time, it could cause this kind of problem. Do you have a detailed scan sequence and a ladder diagram?
Boy!
I am learning at a fast pace! All the responses have been extremely helpful. I am now working almost 100% on this and there is more to come. The videos that arj3090 recommended were great! I had done that type of thing with computer hardware and the videos opened my mind to doing it with...
catserveng,
You read my mind. I tried some of the local distribuitors to see If I could get a deal on some software but I had no lock. I ended up buying one of the Logix 5000 trainers for $370. It hurts but I needed to take immediate action. Right after doing that, I sent an application for...
Thanks eeprom.
If I learn to program, say, a Siemens, would I be able to program an IDEC or AB? I've only been able to see that AB can be programmed in ladder, block, text, and I think you can also use C.
I am still trying to get the software that amptramp recommended to run. I'll come back...
Thanks amptramp. I suspected that It was going to be too expensive. It is so good to have help of this type. I appreciate it. I'll try the programs that you mentioned.
Hi,
I always fall short on job applications because I can't program PLCs and the classes cost a fortune. I have the LogixPro sample diskette but that only allows ladder logic programming and working with that does not qualify me as a PLC programmer. I am thinking about buying a used PLC and...
