PLC installation, maintenance and maintenance

PLC installation, maintenance and maintenance issues PLC is widely used in industrial control because of its outstanding advantages. Its practical application involves many problems. This article only points out some on-site installation and maintenance issues for PLC design and application personnel. reference.

1, PLC installation PLC is suitable for most industrial sites, but it still has certain requirements for the use of occasions, ambient temperature and so on. Controlling the working environment of the PLC can effectively increase its working efficiency and life. When installing the PLC, avoid the following places:

(1) Range of ambient temperature exceeding 0 to 50°C (2) Relative humidity exceeding 85% or dew condensation (caused by sudden temperature changes or Other factors);

(3) direct sunlight;

(4) Corrosive and flammable gases such as hydrogen chloride, hydrogen sulfide, etc.;

(5) There are iron filings and dust;

(6) Frequent or continuous vibrations with vibration frequencies of 10 to 55 Hz and amplitudes of 0.5 mm (peak to peak);

(7) Impact exceeding 10 g (gravitational acceleration).

All four corners of the small programmable controller cover have mounting holes. There are two ways to install, one is to fix with screws, different units have different mounting dimensions; the other is DIN (German Republican standard) fixed rails. The mounting plate used for the DIN rail is a pair of left and right. On the track, first install the left and right clamps, install the PLC, and then tighten the screws. In order to make the control system work reliably, the programmable controller is usually installed in a control cabinet with a protective casing to prevent dust, oil, water from splashing. In order to ensure that the programmable controller maintains its temperature within the specified ambient temperature range during the working state, the installation machine should have enough ventilation space, and there must be an interval of more than 30mm between the basic unit and the expansion unit. If the ambient temperature exceeds 55C, install an electric fan and force ventilation.

In order to avoid electrical interference from other peripheral devices, the programmable controller should be as far away as possible from the high-voltage power line and high-voltage equipment, and a distance of at least 200 mm should be allowed between the programmable controller and the high-voltage device and the power line.

When the programmable controller is installed vertically, it is necessary to prevent wire ends, iron filings, etc. from falling into the programmable controller from the ventilation window, resulting in a short-circuit of the printed circuit board, making it unable to work normally or even permanently damaged.

2. Power connection PLC power supply is 50Hz, 220V±10% AC.

FX series programmable controllers have DC 24V output terminals. This terminal provides DC 24V power for input sensing (such as photoelectric switch or proximity switch).

If the power supply fails and the interruption time is less than 10ms, the PLC operation is not affected. If the power interruption exceeds 10ms or the power supply drops below the permissible value, the PLC stops operating and all output points are disconnected at the same time. When the power is restored, if the RUN input is turned on, the operation is automatically performed.

For interference from the power line, the PLC itself has sufficient resistance. If the power supply interference is particularly severe, an isolation transformer with a 1:1 ratio can be installed to reduce the interference between the equipment and ground.

3, grounding <br> <br> good ground is an important condition to ensure the PLC can * work voltage to avoid accidental shock hazard. The grounding wire is connected to the ground of the machine and the basic unit is grounded. If an extension unit is to be used, its grounding point should be connected to the grounding point of the base unit. In order to suppress the interference added to the power supply and the input and output terminals, the programmable controller should be connected to a special ground wire. The grounding point should be separated from the grounding point of the power equipment (such as the Motor). If this requirement is not met, it must be connected to a common ground with other equipment and must not be connected in series with other equipment. The grounding point should be as close as possible to the PLC.

4, 24V DC input terminal <br> <br> using a passive device contacts, the PLC internal 24V power supply current of 7mA per point to the input terminal through an input device.

The 24V terminal on the PLC can also supply current to an external sensor such as a proximity or photoelectric switch. When the 24V terminal is used as a sensor power supply, the COM terminal is a DC 24V ground terminal. If extended crew is used, the 24V end of the base unit and extension unit should be connected. In addition, any external power supply cannot be connected to this terminal.

If an overload occurs, the voltage will drop automatically and this point input has no effect on the programmable controller.

The number of input points for each type of PLC is specified. For each unused input point, it does not consume power, so in this case, the ability of the 24V power supply terminal to supply current to the outside can increase.

The vacancy terminal of the FX series PLC cannot be used under any circumstances.

5, the input connection
PLC generally accepts the limit switches, limit switches and other input switch signals. The input terminal is the port for PLC and external sensor load conversion signal. Input wiring generally refers to the wiring of external sensors and input ports.

The input device can be any passive contact or open collector NPN tube. When the input device is turned on, the input is turned on and the input line is closed while the LED of the input indicator lights up.

Between the primary circuit and the secondary circuit at the input end, optocoupler isolation is used. The secondary circuit has an RC filter to prevent malfunction of the PLC due to chattering of the input contacts or electrical noise from the input lines.

If a diode is connected in series with the input contact circuit, the voltage across the series diode should be less than 4V. If you use a reed switch with a light emitting diode, the number of series diodes cannot exceed two.

In addition, input wiring should also pay special attention to the following points:

(1) The input wiring should not exceed 30m. However, if the ambient interference is small and the voltage drop is not large, the input wiring can be longer.

(2) The input and output lines cannot use the same cable, and the input and output lines should be separated.

(3) The width of the pulse signal that the programmable controller can accept should be greater than the scan cycle time.

6, the output connection

(1) The programmable controller has three forms of relay output, thyristor output, and transistor output.

(2) Output wiring is divided into independent output and common output. When the output relay or thyristor of the PLC is activated, the two outputs of the same number are switched on. In different groups, different types and voltage levels of output voltage can be used. However, the output in the same group can only use the same type of power supply with the same voltage level.

(3) Since the output element of the PLC is packaged on the printed circuit board and connected to the terminal board, if the load connected to the output element is short-circuited, the printed circuit board will be burned. Therefore, the fuse protection output element is applied.

(4) When relay output is used, the amount of inductive load that is subjected to affects the working life of the relay, so the relay has a long service life.

(5) The output load of the PLC may cause noise interference, so take measures to control it.

In addition, for dangerous loads that can cause damage to the user, in addition to being considered in the control program, an external emergency stop circuit should also be designed so that when the programmable controller fails, the load-causing power source can be cut off. Do not use the same cable for the AC output line and the DC output line. The output line should be as far away from the high voltage line and the power line as possible to avoid parallelism.
