I would appreciate some direction on writing drum seq. using
dl-105 plc
dl-105 plc
yes, i plan to use my dl105/ fl-130dr to program led light sign modules.bruce,
i'm presuming you have an application that repeats the same process over and over with no changes. Correct?
1. Define process, ie. Start button pushed, wait 1 second, extend cylinder. Wait 2 seconds, start blower and energize clamp cylinder, start mill motor, wait 2 seconds, extend mill. Ect. Ect
2. Translate to ladder. If you have defined the process like above then "extend cylinder wait 2 seconds" is just one step of the drum.
The edrum will do events as well as timed events, so i find it easier to use. If you think you might want to add a step later on then use a value of "0" there.
If you are a missouri (show me) kind of guy here is an example. http://forum.hosteng.com/index.php/topic,235.msg1671.html#msg1671
Hi Bernie,
I am happy to say I have achieved my goal by using stage boxes and timers, it works great
1. If i run the program and unplug the cord and connect a reset switch to x1 input w/ a stop instruction in the program I cant get it to restart again without reconnecting the cable and rerunning it.
2. The dslaunch5 programmer will only open a file less than 1kb, so for now if my computor crashes I have a problem-lol
