Can u please send the link of hardware connection for above video?

good job

[@KletteTech]

Thanks

Can I use a reed switch instead of a limit switch?

[@KletteTech]

100%

[@vipulkulkarni1942]

Hey the video was very helpful!
I have a similar application but in place of the start button I have a limit switch whichs actuated by separate circuit and it remains NC throughout, just like pressing the start button continuously with respect to ur circuit.
Is there any way I could achieve the automatic retraction in my circuit,thnx.

[@KletteTech]

Yes. Use an internal bit to lock out the limit switch so the cylinder will retract

[@markjimabuevasayson3509]

What is the name of that application?

[@jeffmarlowe2727]

I need a similar program with a 3 way closed with a middle prox stopping once in the cycle? What would this program look like?

[@gunatillekaleslie3521]

Very good lecture. Can you advise how I could get the Software. Many thanks

Hey Can u please help me out with two double Acting cylinders having sequence A+B+A-B-

[@arjunjayswal6347]

Thank you sir

[@KletteTech]

Your welcome

[@admiral4542]

greetings,
is anyone willing to give me the link to download the software for such.
would greatly appreciate it

[@KletteTech]

You can get a free version of it a rockwells website I believe. It is a basic version but might work for your needs.

I have a two way valve to program for. I can'not use a limit switch to stop the movement of the valve. Do you think I should just use timers to open and close. I am thinking of cascading, so that if it takes 1 minute to open, then trigger another timer for the completion of the pump cycle, then upon completion, it automatically returns to resting position ? Do you see a better way ? Also how do I program a daily schedule on a click plc ? I can't find any examples

[@KletteTech]

Great question. That would work just fine. Another method would be to use one timer and use compare instructions such as great then and equal too. Either way would work. Not sure what you mean about a daily check. Any more information would help.

[@dronai]

"A Daily check" Did I say that ^ Daily schedule is like your sprinkler timer. I think I figured out how to it using the RTC bits, and comparison values. I got hours, but now sure how to do minutes ? If => 11 and < 12 turn on bit, but how do I use minutes ? have another minutes contact saying =15 and

[@KletteTech]

Try placing a RTO with a 60 preset. Then have a counter that works off the done bit in the next line. Then on the line below that have the reset for the RTO. The counter will increment in minutes.

[@dronai]

Thanks, I'll try that. But to clarify, I have a 4 day schedule with 4 stations getting grey water for lets say 10 minutes. So as I explained above, the day and hour make sense to turn on and off. So what you are saying is, in addition to my code, add a retentive timer, and counter, and reset, and set as you described, so I would have all items in my program ?

[@KletteTech]

There are so many ways to do it. If where me and I wanted to have an output activated for 10 minutes of everyday here is what I would do:
Create a subroutine that has 24 hour clock. 60 sec timer, that controls a counter to 60 minutes that controls a hour counter. after the last counter hits 24 it resets all timers and counter.
In the man routine I would use compare instructions to active for the output for the appropriate amount of time.
Does that make sense?

Very Nice, Very Nice

Hi, I"m sure that this maybe a bit more than you wanted to get involved with but I am going to ask if there is a way that i can communicate with you other than this, Am email address that you could reach me at is [e-mail], i'm sure my hangups are very simple but I can't see it and I thought that I could email a copy of the program I have that works until I attempt to implement the limit switches that are at each position and I want to control the progress of the program through these switches that start each timer. I know that it's simple but i'm really not sure that the direction I went with program is correct.
Thanks again

[@KletteTech]

I sent you an e-mail.

LS3 and LS4 are sensors, am i wrong?
