How to Add Unspecified CPU in Tia Portal?

This article is about to add an unspecified CPU in Siemens TIA portal.

Unspecified CPU in Tia Portal

During software setup, you get to know that CPU which installed in hardware doesn’t contain a part number and you also don’t have anything else related to its which can give us a part number.

In such a case, siemens provide an option to detect unspecified CPU. Do follow the below steps to know the process of adding such CPU.

Step 1:

Open TIA PORTAL. Create a new project or open an existing one.

Step 2:

Do follow the steps as shown in the below window.

In Simatic option, you Can expand any option to add CPU which you want to add.

Step 3:

Here. I will add the CPU using the Simatic-1500 option.

Expand CPU and choose unspecified CPU as shown in the below window.

Click “Add” to proceed.

Step 4:

The following window will open up. You can see unspecified CPU is added.

Step 5:

Click on “Detect” as shown in the below window.

Step 6:

The following window will open.

Step 7:

As you can see in the below window when I drop down the list it won’t contain a simulator option.

But simply you have to choose the method of communication you are using and hit the “start search” button. Where you can find a CPU and click on “detect” to add CPU.

As I don’t have actual PLC, I can’t show you detect procedure but you can find it by following the last step (online).

PLC Program for Mixing Tank

Create a ladder diagram for controlling a batch mixing process. Implement a PLC program for mixing tank or Mixing Process using PLC Ladder Logic. PLC Program for Mixing Tank Fig : Mixing tank A tank is used to mix two liquids. The required control circuit operates as follows: A. When the START button is pressed, solenoids A and B energize. This permits the two liquids to begin ﬁlling the tank. B. When the tank is ﬁlled, the ﬂoat switch trips. This de-energizes solenoids A and B and starts the motor used to mix the liquids together. C. The motor is permitted to run for 1 minute. After 1 minute has elapsed, the motor turns off and solenoid C energizes to drain the tank. D. When the tank is empty, the ﬂoat switch de- energizes solenoid C. E. A STOP button can be used to stop the process at any point. F. If the motor becomes overloaded, the action of the entire circuit will stop. G. Once the circuit has been energized, it will continue to operate until it is manually stopped. Solution...

Ferrules and Cross Ferruling

Ferrules are identification labels provided for every wire terminations in an instrument, equipment, or electrical/instrumentation control panels. These tube-shaped sleeves can be inserted easily on each individual wire in a multi-core cable. In earlier days fixed digits/letters are used as ferrules, but now Instrumentation engineers/technicians prints out desired ferrules by using a ferrule printing machine. Typical Ferrule The numbers/ letters on the ferrules will be given as per the approved electrical hook up or loop diagrams. This helps technicians to easily identify a particular loop/wiring from a series of terminal blocks and to troubleshoot the desired terminal connection. Separate numbers on the ferrules distinguish the positive and negative polarities of wires, thus ensure the polarity protection of the instrument. Cross Ferruling As a wire is connected on its both ends, it is quite useful to use a cross reference method for wire identification. Unlike normal ferru...

What is Relay? How it Works? Types, Applications, Testing

We use relays for a wide range of applications such as home automation, cars and bikes (automobiles), industrial applications, DIY Projects, test and measurement equipment, and many more. But what is Relay? How a Relay Works? What are the Applications of Relays? Let us explore more about relays in this guide. What is a Relay? A Relay is a simple electromechanical switch. While we use normal switches to close or open a circuit manually, a Relay is also a switch that connects or disconnects two circuits. But instead of a manual operation, a relay uses an electrical signal to control an electromagnet, which in turn connects or disconnects another circuit. Relays can be of different types like electromechanical, solid state. Electromechanical relays are frequently used. Let us see the internal parts of this relay before knowing about it working. Although many different types of relay were present, their working is same. Every electromechanical relay consists of an consists of an Elect...
