Hi,
I'm new to posting and just have a few questions involving a sheet metal servo feed system i'm building.
First, here are the components:
1-Micrologix 1500BXB w/LRP, two 1769-IQ16 Input modules, one 1769-OW8 Output module.
2-AB Ultra3000 Servo drive with AB F-4075 servo motor with AB cabling.
3-Automation Direct heavy duty 2000ppr push/pull encoder.
Question 1:
I want to use the PTO output of the Micrologix to pulse the Ultra3000. What is the best way of converting the pulsed 24VDC PTO output to match the necessary input signal for the Ultra drive?
Question 2:
I want to use the encoder with the Micrologix HSC OMB to directly control O:0/4 on the base unit, but I need to know what number to put in the OMB register in the HSC function file. I think it's 10. Is this correct?
Question 3:
All the components are brand new from the retailer, however, the LED's on the slot 2 input module do not light up when forced on through logic in any mode. I've swapped input modules between slot 1 and 2, but have the same issue. Input 1 and Ouput 3 are fine. Slot 2 only lights when a device wired to it is closed. Also, output O:0/1 on the base unit doesn't work in logic, but can be forced on. Is it common for these PLC's to have these issues or is it something else?
Thank you for your input,
Lou
