Micrologix Base

Hello all.

I've got a simple (I hope) question. I've got a 1764-28BXB DC Base for a micrologix 1500. I"ve got a 24vdc led hooked to output 2 (one of the FETs) and ground. I've written 1 rung to use input 0 to turn on output 2. The LED on the Micro comes on, but there is no voltage present on the output. I have 24vdc on the VDC 2 terminal. What have I missed???

Check out the manual here:

Especially see page 65 for the wiring details. Be sure you have supply and common wired to your load properly.

My guess is you haven't tied power to the common for the output.

Jimmie & Tom,

That was the ticket. Totally missed it in my haste to play with the new toy. I've never had the patience to 'RTFM'

Thanks,

Bryan

Welcome to the club. Most of us have done that one once.

Yup could have been worse and called tech support.
