The Method and Process of Siemens PLC Hardware Configuration

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

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.
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.
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.
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.
Perform software configuration: perform PLC software configuration, including writing PLC programs, configuring I/O addresses, setting communication parameters, etc.
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.
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...

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 ...

Dissolved Oxygen Analyzer Working Principle

What is dissolved oxygen ? Dissolved oxygen refers to oxygen dissolved in water. Its concentration is expressed as the amount of oxygen per unit volume and the unit is mg/L. Biologically, oxygen is an essential element for respiration of underwater life and also acts as a chemical oxidizer. The solubility of oxygen in water is affected by water temperature, salinity, barometric pressure, etc. and decreases as water temperature rises. Measurement of dissolved oxygen by the membrane electrode method The membrane electrode method measures a diffusion current or reduction current generated by the concentration of dissolved oxygen or partial pressure of oxygen to obtain the concentration of dissolved oxygen. This method is not affected by the pH value of water being measured, oxidation and reduction substances, color, turbidity, etc. and the measurement method offers good reproducibility. When a sensor is inserted into water, an air layer forms on the membrane (Teflon membrane). The ox...
