Thanks. This helped a bunch. The table of contents isn't helpful. Another tip. Some pilot lights. Like the allen bradley led multi voltage say not to use a solid state output type. Like these. Run them through dry contacts.
Thanks for this! Really helpful, and I feel I understand so much more :) quick question: if I'm interested in wiring up some sort of frequency input/basically a square wave input that I want to get the frequency of to the input sides of the PLC, is that any different than wiring up a normal switch input like you're talking about in the video? (I know I'll need to change the input configuration in the program itself) I'd like to just put the two wires I have from this square wave generator (it's a flow sensor) into the PLC on say group 1, but when I do that I can't see the LED or anything in the appropriate registers (even when I'm set to frequency input) -- wondering if I need to wire up the input rail to my 24V power supply or something, but I can't think of any reason I'd need to do that. Square wave is 10V amplitude centered around 0 at 1kHz if that give you more information than me though :P In this vein though, the wiring diagram you have indicates that there should be 24 + & ground coming out of the input rail: what's the purpose of this (and any ideas if this is different on different modules of FC6As?)
No, unfortunately I do not. I have been meaning to put together a modbus video. Just havent gotten to it. What exactly are you trying to communicate with?

It sounds like you are using a 0-10v signal? Thats analog, not frequence? Or, am I not understanding?
do you have any video showing how to use the rs485 module (send commands) with f6A plc?

Dear Sir...........Please share software for me
