  2. 0808THS PWM Output

    in UniLogic Software

    Posted

    Hi,

     

    I am using several 0808THS cards and on one of them I have both blocks 1 & 2 set to PWM. So output O0, O1, O4 and O5 are normal PWM outputs.

    O1 & O2 are working great, f = 3 kHz Duty Cycle at 50 the control is very smooth.

    On O4 & O5 with the same settings the motors are spasmodic in starting and stopping. (I mean too fast motor operation).

    Why on the first set of outputs the Duty Cycle at 50 is so smooth (slow motor speed) and on the second set the same Duty Cycle does not work out the same?

    Anyone faced a similar problem?

    thanks

  6. US5-B10-TA30 PWM Output

    I can't seem to figure out the PWM output for the PLC model as above.

    From what I understand O0 and O1 can function as PWM output as long as you enable the PWM bit from the software. Done.

    Now, from what I 've read since this functions as a normal PWM (and not High Speed PWM - I guess its the frequency upper limit that changes), its Time Period is at most 2.5ms? So with f= 1/T max frequency I can get is 400 Hz? Why does the spec sheet states that it can be set up at 3kHz?

    Next, PWM is suppose to give an average of the total voltage based on the duty cycle. The way I set this up it just turns the Output +24V and 0V based on the duty cycle. Varying my frequency doesn't change a thing on the behavior of my motor, but varying the Duty Cycle causes my motor to spasmodic operation if I set anything below 100 Duty Cycle.

    Another thing I don't understand is the value of the frequency; does 0-3000 correspond to 0-3 kHz ? If so why does the software sets measuring unit to milliHz?

    Attached is my program for PWM in rung 12.

    Thanks

  9. Calculating RPM from pulses

    in UniLogic Software

    Posted

    I did something similar in Unilogic but I am not getting accurate results.  Attached is the program itself.

    On the first rung I am stacking up an MI that I am assuming   its increasing at a rate of 1ms based on the scanning time.

    On the second rung my proximity pulse clrears the first MI and stores its value to a second MI.

    Then I am converting my stacked up MI into milliseconds to get the period and converting them to seconds for the final RPM calculation. (RPM = 60/T)

    My test rig is a motor at steady speed rotating a shaft that I get proximity pulses from. Testing with various instruments I know I have 31 rpms but my program outputs 40 rpm. And I also noticed that at higher speeds the deviation is larger whereas at lower speeds the deviation is smaller.

    If you don't want to do it Flex's way (which will still involve some maths), although it is in Visilogic this example shows the principle of how to do it very easily.  At 120rpm max you don't need anything fancy like high speed inputs or timers. 

    I'm not a Unistream user but feel sure that setting up your own 1.25ms "interrupt count" should be very easy.  You may be able to go even smaller for greater accuracy...I don't know.

    cheers, Aus

    I have looked into the example. Are you based to the fact that the scanning time is 2.5ms for the increment in the subroutine?

  11. Calculating RPM from pulses

    in UniLogic Software

    Posted

    I am using the 5'' TA30 unistream. 

    What I did so far was used a normal digital input and calculating how many pulses from the sensor I get for every 2 seconds. Then I am multiplying this value by 30 to get it for every 60 seconds (which is like an instantaneous) reading of the rpms. 

    Will try various methods to see which one best works.

     

     

  12. Calculating RPM from pulses

    in UniLogic Software

    Hi,

    I am reading pulses from a proximity inductive sensor and I want to convert it to rpms. The rpms are being read from a wind turbine shaft and I am getting one pulse per turn of the shaft. I will have max around 120 rpms. 

    The sensor is omron PNP, NO, 3 wire 24V dc.

    I am trying to measure the time between the rising edge of each pulse (thus each turn) of the proximity sensor but I am not sure how to do this with the timers. Anyone can help?

  14. Linearization

    in Jazz, M91 PLCs and U90Ladder

    One thing that bothers me with multiple linearization inputs is that when going online the y1,y2 parameters get the readings from the second AI, no matter what their store blocks command them.

    Is that because of the scan time of the program and it doesn't have the time to "update" the stored values, so it "shows" the last stored values in them?

  21. Jazz PT15 PID

    Hi,

    First time I am using PID on a Jazz.

    I want to keep the pressure within a system steady, regulated by a solenoid valve that has a constant pressure supply on it; and in turn feeds the closed system. 

    Attached are my setup and I have a few questions:

    1. My CV is the controlled digital output on the solenoid valve that opens when the pressure drops; reads of a 0-10V pressure sensor; and closes when that pressure reaches my setpoint.  How can I setup the CV to a digital output?

    2. My Process Value and Setpoint I have them linked to the same MI because I want to keep the pressure at whatever pressure the pressure sensor reads from the beginning. Is that correct to do?

    3. I cant seem to make it to operate the solenoid valve because I don't understand what the Control Value MI should be in order to simulate a digital output. I also set its range 0 and 1 but it needs further processing

     

    Thanks

  22. Analog Input with added up result

    in UniLogic Software

    Posted

    So, I have a 4-20 mA analog input and I want to add up the result every (unknown - have to be determined I think) time so that I get the total value.

    The 4-20 mA signal comes from a weight scale flow controller that reads in T/hr (Tons per hour). By adding that value up I want to obtain the total number of tons that passed so far through the scale.

    I am using a Unistream 7'' and this is what I came up with so far - which is wrong. What the following does is: it linearizes every second the incoming analog value. A is the analog input. B is X1 = 0 and C is Y1 = 0.

    D is X2 = 8191 which is the 13-bit resolution of the 0402N module.  Then I am adding the result to a memory integer which updates itself.

    For E, I have Y2 = 60, which comes from linearizing the analog input to Tons/sec. 

    So, how can I implement what I am trying to achieve?
