GWS (Customer) asked a question.

December 9, 2020 at 8:50 PM
I am new to the Productivity 1000 and its IO cards - P1-08NE3 and P1-08TRS. I am familiar with programming and wiring other PLCs but this one is giving me trouble. Is a fuse required to have the output work? Any wiring hints would be helpful.

I have C1, 1 used for the momentary button. On the P1-08TRS I am using C2, N02 for the LED light. I am using 24 VDC button and light.

    C bits are internal coils. You need to go 'hardware configuration' double click on the module and see what the address is assigned to your output module. Example: DO-0.1.1.1

     

    You can rename the output point to something more useful if you would like. Example: LED Light

      I have use the related internal addresses in my ladder logic so I am using the correct IO devices. Input DI-0.1.1.1 and Output D0-0.1.2.2 Any thoughts on the wiring?

       

      Thanks

      I have looked at lots of the videos. Is there one in particular that deals with the wiring. I think I have everything wired correctly and my program does use the existing I/O ports; however, I am missing something. Do you have a diagram that would show the input and output. I am use to have to access the 24VDC to handle the power. Am I correct in understanding the voltage is supplies through the interconnection of the different add on modules?

       

      Thanks,

        Please post a picture/diagram of your wiring setup.

        Hi Gordon,

        The internal circuitry is powered by the bus for the cards. However the inputs and outputs must be powered separately.

        Here is the wiring diagrams from the manual for the cards you mentioned above.

        Here is a link to the manual:

        That makes sense to me. With other PLCs the devices have to be powered externally. I will rewire using a separate power supply to power the devices.

        I will reply once I have it working.

         

        Thanks,
