How to connect AC sensor and motor to PLC - PLCS.net

Zhen · April 9th, 2009, 04:01 PM

Hi,

I am new to PLC's and I want to connect a 3 wire AC sensor (with "input", "neutral", and "output") and a 3 wire AC motor (with "line", "CCW", "CW") to my PLC, but I don't know how.

my sensor is an Allen-Bradley Photoswitch

my motor is this: http://catalog.orientalmotor.com/ite...1024|0|3001025

my PLC is this: http://web3.automationdirect.com/adc...nits/C0-00AR-D

the power supply for my PLC is this: http://web3.automationdirect.com/adc...pplies/C0-01AC

I want to use the sensor to control the on/off state and rotation directions of the motor.

I am hoping to power both the sensor and motor using the PLC, but I have no idea how to wire them.

Please help. Thanks.

No details on the photo eye can't help until we get them

Thank you for your diagram.

The catalog for the sensor is this: http://www.ab.com/catalogs/c114/1pho/1159172.pdf

The sensor is an AC/DC wide angle diffuse photoswitch
(42SRP - 6014) with:

Input: Black: 20-132V AC (DC-) 1.2VA
Neutral: White: (DC+)
Output: Orange: 300mA @ 132V AC/DC Max

Thank you, diagrams help greatly!
