Alternating Pump Control Made Simple
มุมมอง 4802 หลายเดือนก่อน
Alternating pumps can get confusing very quickly with ladder logic. This is a simple control using a counter in a O state or a 1 state. Click PLCs are powerful and inexpensive. The software is free and so is support.
Scaling analog inputs and outputs with the CLICK

Scaling the analog inputs to show feet/minutes, RPM, etc. tank levels is easy with the CLICK PLC. Read pounds of force or vacuum. Scale any linear input or out put easily. I/O configuration settings.
Read Temperature Directly into the CLICK CPU
มุมมอง 1.1Kปีที่แล้ว
This video is a simple program to measure temperature without the expensive temperature module. Only 11 lines of program. Uses a FOR/NEXT loop with an address pointer. You will learn a lot from this video. All you need is a 10k ohm resistor and a 10K ohm thermistor. The temperature module is much more accurate and works directly with many different sensors such as thermocouples and different th...

Very helpful videos. I couldn't seem to find it - did you ever upload the Click communicating to the Banner radio?
Good point. That was a while back. If I remember correctly I had an issue with they Banner radio. It was old and did not want to communicate. I need to go back and follow that up.
@WadeCountryLiving thanks for the quick response. It always seems like it should be straight forward but then there is some minute detail that complicates the matter. Good luck.
@TheBrownDoggie I've used them a lot without problem. With 16 to 20 radios on a waste system and they work well as long as the antenna is not blocked
Phil; You are probably the best guy to help me with a project. I own a very old Relay-Logic automatic band saw I want to convert to PLC. Trouble is the PLC videos are all focused on wiring the PLC, ladder logic and they stop short of that. O.K. I have a signal to trip Relay 1... and that is where it ends. Einstein figured out the theory of relativity. He brought the bricklayers, plumbers, electricians all under one roof with a common language. The Surveyors are still stuck on links and chains. That is where you come in. There's nothing out there in youtube-land that brings the PLC into the real world. Running motors, timers counters in sequence with all things addressed. The practical side requires that I have to wire this up, sequence 3 or four motors and a counter with go-no go, analog inputs, ( Mechanical Limit Switches ) and possibly tag in a VFD or a servo/step motor that would crank the mechanical blade speed adjuster. Better to maintain the mechanical speed control rather than split wave it with the VFD and lose horsepower... I'd want it to run independent. I'd want to set at the saw, my mechanical length stop, ( Grab it, set it, tighten knob ) It has a power fed roller vise that the material feeds out to hit the limit switch...Select number of cycles, in the case of VFD, set Feed per minute or motor RPM... so a display and input is needed. Real world stuff. The saw is old, but the Iron and Motors are great. Saw weighs around 3,000# I think around 20 grand new. There is nothing wrong with the way it was set up at all. But all the switches, buttons and stuff are so old, out of production and literally crumbling in my hands due to old age. Perhaps we could collaborate with video support and do a project. I have feed stock limit. Blade up limit. Blade down limit. Empty vise limit. Coolant pump on, off switch. I need to power up, set fpm and all limit switches and part count at machine, and press cycle start. If the saw runs out of material, I want it to wait for me and continue until cycle count is achieved. You thoughts sir? Thanks, Mark
@@markrichardson239 I understand your problem. I have once replaced the relay logic of an automated band saw. It was a real pain because the wiring was so old and everything was greasy and full of metal dust. If I did go through all the trouble to a video on how to fo it, wiring diagram and programming, you and I would be the only ones watch to it. My videos focus on single concepts to develop beginning programmers. This would be too complicated for one of my videos.
@@WadeCountryLiving Thanks Phil; The video was a great help! Mark
Thanks Could you please help me How can i do accumulation with click plc I have scale and want to record the weight and add it again to the sum I am doing
I got the scale reading and i used math instruction but doesn’t accumulate
@@hannagerges4987 How often to read the scale, by time or by event? How many data values do you want hold? What do you want to do with the data, display only or record to a storage device? Sum only or average as well? Things to consider.
@@hannagerges4987 I like your application. I'll make a new video for a continuous reading scale, maybe for a peanut jar filling operation, that gives a running sum and average for every minute of production.
@@hannagerges4987 The video is ready. I'll get it posted in an hour or so. phillipcwade@gmail.com
I am creating a prototype for a product that uses the Clickplus ethernet C2-01CPU-2 and a CM5 and this video is helpful! thank you and please make more
@@EASplattering Thank you. I plan to continue with more videos as time permits
@@WadeCountryLivingi hope you continue making videos, they are awesome! Maybe more on interfacing with radios!
Thanks... I had no idea what plc was.... but with your videos I'm understanding step by step... thanks a lot
Thanks. Those red light videos are a bit difficult to grasp. I should have made one simpler to grasp.
How does one simulate the program?
Running the new v3.60 too. Good man. 👍😆. Looking forward to trying the new app for monitoring and register control. Maybe SOMEONE 😁......could make a video on that? 🤷♂️
how we download it??
@@NickVosburg It's not but about 15 lines of program. You can stop the video at any point and just type the rings into your program. You will need to change the input and output addresses for your system anyway.
@@WadeCountryLiving yes i went to click 4 vid it it little hard...
@@NickVosburg email me. phillipcwade@gmail.com
@@NickVosburg I will try to send you a copy
You are jumping back and forth because you have no structure for your program,and this is confusing and annoying at the same time.
Did he have candy 🍬 in his mouth? So annoying.
You can get a 5 amp 24v DC power supply for $30
Video's are very helpful. I want to use the with my class. I get stuck on the parallel connection between c111 and c115. I am trying to use the arrows but no luck.
Phillip excelent video.
I tried to build this ladder but had problems with the counter, it does nor have a reset rung
Does not have a reset rung
Interesting, I downloaded the software and it does not show me these screens. This is version 4.51, I would assume that the videos are obsolete as soon as a new version of the software comes out which is probably every few months...
The videos are obsolete. Their newer versions usually just add newer options for the higher power CPU's
Thank you Great job
Will the c-more HMI’s work with the P1AM-100 and P1AM-200 ProductivityOpen arduino compatible CPU’s?
I'm not sure. That's a different animal
Hi Phillip, Michael here from Australia. I like your style. I am looking to have two projects done to control 3phase motors via VFDs. One project will have a HMI. Do you do freelance work?
No. Not any more.
Lots of compliments. Are any from real people? After wasting over $2,000. myself, I do have to wonder, has anyone else been deceived enough to believe these lies? Has anyone ever said "it actually works as specified?
Philip. Amazing series! I appreciate it from Michigan.
Here's a follow topic instead of using a for loop. Do a polynomial curve fit to the thermistor data in excel (add a trend line and show expression) then use the click's math expression to linearize the ADC value. What you have here is an interesting approach that's applicable to various situations, thanks.
Most excellent video. The mhos is something new for me as a real tool. 🥳 Very creative program. ✨ Thank you. Great stuff.
It's not the norm for sure. But it is a cheap way to measure and control a temperature with minimal electronics and $. It could work for an OEM that would replicate it over and over. 1 PLC and 1 sensor.
Excellent step-by-step Pointer Addressing. 🥳 Thank you.
Phillip, I enjoy your content and I am using a C2-01CPU with a combo C2-08D1-6V. I am using 4 temp sensors and I'm attempting to use 4 sub routines and one set of reference voltages assigned to DF40-240 allowing a 200 degree range from -10 to 190 degrees. Any pointers our guidance you can provide would be great.
You got me interested. But I need more information. What sensors are you using? What are you trying to control, fan speeds, heating/cooling valves, etc.? Are you averaging the sensor readings or using each one for a different controlled area? That's a powerful PLC setup for little $.
A most excellent example. Thank you.
At approximately 13:45, that's not true, because if you pull up CTD1 in DataView1 you will see that it oscillates between 0 and 1. That is because once CT1 hits 2, it resets it in the next row (which is not the next scan, but the next row in the current scan). The way I resolved it was I added a NC contact for Oak Light onto Elm Turn Timer rung, then I added NC contact for Elm Turn Request to green and yellow rungs for Elm. I also removed NC contact for Elm Turn Request from < 20 s green rung.
Awesome , I have learned more from these vids on PLC than I did in a whole semester of PLC in my Electrical Systems Assoc.'s degree program at school ! Could you please do a similar vid incorporating a Safety Controller with the PLC and a set of light curtains🤔
does anyone please do a video how to do the writing of this lession because jumping from the lession 3 to here can not come from an beginner and following lession 4 without the program is absolutely pointless
thank you for these videos. i'm an automated machine builder and have gotten bored with just assembly. plc seems like a next good step and so far it's nice to see that it's not all craziness. thank you :)
Man, starting grom absolutely beginner and jumping to a full scale programing using from A to Z fror the lerner eaven tuching the program, let's be honest, is a mess. Maybe is ok for progrmers that want to lern traffic lights but to lern click is an impossible mess.
But that's the way it is. CLICK is the most simple to learn. Good electrical background helps. You have to jump in and push yourself to get past the first wall in your learning curve.
@@WadeCountryLiving thank you. But the best way to learn new language is by exercises. Starting from simple thing and with hands on adding more and more till gain confidence and adding till in the most complex exercises. Please add some exercise where to start working by myself. Is hard to find anything on TH-cam about click relay. Thank you
My brother is an engineer and plays your videos on our living room TV. I found them very entertaining and informative. Great video!
Thanks. More are coming.
Videos are great, the equipment unfortunately is not.
Hey Phillip. I've been enjoying you click plus vids. Just built a click plus test bench myself and having fun with some proof of concept stuff. Fun stuff!
I actually went with a $30 modbus sht30 sensor for temp measurement. I want to use 4-20 for something else fun. Haven't decided yet.
How would I do the same but with a 4-20 module? I’m trying to figure out PLC programming as a hobby. Thanks
Easy, just use the ADI, analog to digital current input, and use the same type of calculations for what the input would be for each degree.
@@WadeCountryLiving thank you. Keep up the great content.
Great job Phillip. Thanks for doing this for us.
This is an excellent series. Thanks from Colorado.
Simple, informative and short. Thanks.
Thank you Phillip these are great videos hopefully we have the privilege of seeing more of these!

My click plc has error in run mode test what can do?
quick question, can I plug the RJ12 ethernet cord to my ethernet port on my laptop instead of USB? Or will I need a specific Programming cable?
Would really like to see more on the radio communication
I want to know where are this plc model applied at. Can i get the answer? I need official documents or your experiences just would be okay . Thanks from Korea
I just connected and it is giving ERR, what can I do?
My experience is with DoMore PLC family for numerous projects in the past. For a new project I decided the DoMore was overkill so went with the smaller and less expensive Click Plus, also liking the idea of wifi connections. However the programming terminology, function calls and structure are like night and day between the two. Your video series is a great big help, very informative. Automation Direct video tutorials are an absolute joke. Thank you for this. All the best.
