I have a customer that uses hydraulic cylinders to raise and lower a security gate at an electric utility transmission station. There' s really not much to it. Joe T. -
Hello, We're looking for a lower cost solution to control a handheld hydraulic clinch unit. Currently we're using a discontinued Schneider Electric all in one PLC/HMI. We were given a SM35-J-R20 to test out so I'm working with Visilogic to redevelop the logic from SoMachine Logic Builder. If I can get this to work we will be fitting all of our units with this, or a more compatible PLC/HMI combo from Unitronics. So far the tutorials have been helpful when trying to piecemeal a concept of how I will control this unit. I haven't seen much in the way of others using the device to control a Hyd pump, and advance/retract a cylinder, and activating a hi-press solenoid. I'm not supplying specific numbers at this time, just curious if there are other out there controlling similar units with these combo controllers. Thanks! -Joe

I have a lot of instances with overlapped elements / graphics where hide visibility and pop up graphics are used throughout program depending on state / button presses Right click and use the send to back / bring to front I find easiest to work when using layers of elements Also can copy top element delete, work on bottom element and paste deleted one back when your done I find sometimes Copy / Paste and a couple blank HMI Editing pages is useful in keeping all elements in proper location for building and troubleshooting deleting top layered elements Copy / Paste some more and mesh it back up together Sometimes using coordinates to mark exact location of elements if you want to move something out of the way and place it back later All of this is easy when its your project and you're the builder, but I do see this being a bit of a pain for the next person dealing with hidden elements in some one else's program (but that's what "find tag" is used for)

Yes the analog input settings are set correctly, both 0-10v as well as the outputs. The ranges are also the same on all. I have since tried wiring the outputs straight into the inputs and giving the output a number. The input is reading is different to what i am giving the output which is strange
