Craig Dunagan Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 I am looking for some help wiring a laser sensor into this PLC . Its a IFM O1D100... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2023 Joe Tauser Posted December 27, 2018 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 According to the data sheet, that unit has two PNP outputs and an analog output. And you can program it. So I'm going to say Brn +24V Blu 0V Blk I0 Wht I1 Unless you want to give us a LOT more details on what you're trying to do. Joe T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Dunagan Posted December 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 I'll start with that... Thanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Dunagan Posted December 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 all we are doing is when the level gets too high it opens a valve and drains until it gets lower and closes the valve... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Dunagan Posted December 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 Thanks Joe, Is there a Specfic output for the 4-20ma or do you plug into a pnp output and program from there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgull Posted December 28, 2018 Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 I think you have the choice of 2 digital outputs from the IFM unit or 1 digital and 1 analog. You need to decide how you are going to control. You can use two digital and use the sensor settings to control levels or use the 4-20ma to give you a level and program the PLC to switch at specific levels. If you use the analog you need to use an analog input on the PLC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're just looking for two specific levels then yes. Program the unit for an output for each level you want an go back to my original answer - you can do this with two digital inputs. Joe T.
