Hey good peoples, I’m a sparky and do the low level PLC work whenever I get the chance though it has been many years since I’ve done any PLC courses and need a helping hand..
I have been setting up some SOLAR stuff at home as a hobby and would like to slowly incorporate a touch screen as a user friendly interface as my project grows, I hope to have the flexibility for this system to adapt.
I have all AB equipment that I have been sourcing over time:-
1 x RSLogix 500 (6.10.10)
1 x Panel builder 32 (03.83.01 build 7)
1 x AB panel view 600 (2711-B6C14 ... Ser.-B, Rev-J, FRN-4.21) RS-232 / MODBUS
1 x AB MicroLogix 1200 (1762-L24BWA ... Ser.-C, Rev-E)
3 x AIC’s (1761-NET-AIC ... Ser.-B, Rev-A)
1 x programming cable (1761-CBL-PM02, Ser.-C)
1 x USB to COM (setup on windows 7 com 4)
Many other gender changes and bits
Also able to make any combination of cables also required / or buy them as/if required.
I can communicate with the PC between with the PV 600 and also a mock page on the PanelView, and the same on the PLC itself but can’t get them to talk to each other. Eventually I would like to put the control (PLC) down stairs and up to run a few load shedding controls and have the touch screen (PV 600) upstairs to peep on what’s going on with everything solar! I know it’s a little unorthodox though would it be possible if someone maybe could put me out of my misery and give me a basic program for the touch screen, PLC and possibly the set up the communications with or/and without the AIC’s so I could just plug it all in and reverse engineer what they have done so I could learn and get myself out of this mental hole I have dug!!!
Many thanks in advance,
Matt
