Hello everyone,
I am new to this site and to PLC's. I am in a situation and need some knowledge thrown my way. I have a Signode HBX-4300 power strapping machine that has a Siemens 6ES7214-1AD3-0XB0 in it. The PLC has an adjustment potentiometer on it that is not working. I have no output.
I called the manufacturer and they gave me a price on a new PLC already programmed for my machine. There price is a bit more than I want to pay. So I was looking around for other 6ES7214 PLS's. I found some that were cheaper.
My question may seem stupid to some, but I do not know much about PLC's, I am just now learning. But does anyone know if these particular PLC's are all programmed the same. Or are they all reprogrammable.
If they do have to be programmed how would I go about doing so for this model?
Thanks,
