The Method and Process of Siemens PLC Hardware Configuration

 The hardware configuration of Siemens PLC can usually adopt the following methods and processes:


  1. Determine control tasks and system requirements: Before hardware configuration, it is necessary to clarify the tasks and requirements of the control system, including the requirements for input and output points, control accuracy, speed, and safety.
  2. Select the PLC model and module: According to the control task and requirements, select the appropriate PLC model and module, including CPU, I/O module, communication module, power supply module, etc.
  3. Assemble the cabinet and install the modules: According to the selected PLC model and module, assemble the cabinet and install the modules, pay attention to the installation sequence, cable wiring, wiring method, etc.
  4. Connect the input and output devices: connect the input and output devices with the input and output modules of the PLC, you need to pay attention to the correctness, stability and safety of the wiring.
  5. Perform software configuration: perform PLC software configuration, including writing PLC programs, configuring I/O addresses, setting communication parameters, etc.
  6. Debugging and testing: Perform PLC debugging and testing, including checking the logical correctness of the program, the response of input and output, and whether the communication is normal, etc.
  7. System acceptance and maintenance: After the hardware configuration is completed, system acceptance and maintenance are carried out, including inspection, maintenance, and update of the entire system.

Generally speaking, the hardware configuration of Siemens PLC needs to comprehensively consider the control tasks and requirements, select the appropriate PLC model and module, assemble and install, perform software configuration and debugging, and finally realize the normal operation and maintenance of the control system. It is necessary to pay attention to the safety and reliability during installation and commissioning to ensure the stability and reliability of the entire system.

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...

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...

What is a Torbar? – Averaging Pitot Tubes

 The Torbar is employed for flow measurement of liquids, gases, or steam in circular, square, or rectangular section ducts for large flow rates. The Torbar is an insertion type multi-port self-averaging primary sensor for flow measurement. Torbar TORBAR is a set of Pitot tubes mounted on a bar across the pipeline with no moving parts. An averaging Pitot tube is a technology, while TORBAR is a manufacturing brand name. There are several brands available in the market with VERABAR, ANNUBAR, etc. Averaging Pitot Tube Principle Purpose Averaging Pitot tube can be employed when the average velocity of the flow profile, rather than the velocity in a specific point in the cross-section is desired. Averaging Pitot Tubes Principle It measures the differential pressure between the static pressure tap and the tap of full pressure of a stream. Thus such magnitude of differential pressure is directly proportional to the square of the flow rate. Working The TORBAR is designed in such a way that ...
