Replacing them with PLCs keeps pumps running smoothly. with two motor starters. When the pump is turned on, the first motor starter is energized. Then, after a time delay, the second starter is energized. Two types of timers were used in the control logic, pneumatic and electronic. As the pneumatic timers aged, they lost their timing repeatability. It was common to hear the motor strain while waiting for the second starter to pull in. FIgure 2, Before replacement By Henry Palechek Process Control Supervisor O ne of the most important jobs of a water distribution system is to reliably deliver water to its customers. At our water district in California, we had pumping stations (Figure 1) with relay-based controls that were more than 30 years old, and the vintage of the controls caused a definite reliability issue. Figure 2: Before and after. The original relay-based system (above) was cluttered, while the updated PLC-based controls are much cleaner. Figure 1: Typical pumping station in the water distribution system. A typical pump station has three or four pumps, each powered by 100 or 125 horsepower motors. Because of the relatively large motor size, a part winding motor starting system is used 10 Electronic timers were sometimes even worse as their electrolytic capacitors failed over time. When the timers failed it was hard on the motor because it was running on only one starter until the overload tripped. Personally, I’ve had to replace more of the electronic timing relays than any other device in the control circuit. I thought it was time to upgrade the pump controls and my company agreed, so we decided to investigate alternatives. Taking a Test Drive We decided to do a pilot test on two stations over a one-year period. We replaced all the pneumatic and electrical relays with DL05 PLCs from AutomationDirect (Figure 2). The PLCs were installed inside the motor control center (MCC) buckets by our in-house district electricians. When the first pilot pump control circuit was changed over to PLC control, I set the delay time between the activation of the two motor starters to Automation Notebook Summer 2011 Issue Twenty 0.5 seconds. Our control electrician didn’t like the way the motor sounded, so with one quick edit I set the timer to 0.4 seconds. We’ve never had to readjust them since, and there’s no longer any drift in the timing because the PLC is a digital device. We were concerned about how well a PLC would hold up in the hot and electrically noisy environment of an MCC without cooling or a UPS, but they have proven to be very robust. The only failure we had was when a pump control valve’s solenoid shorted out and pulled an excessive amount of current. Installing a fuse on the output solved the problem. It should be noted that this failure was our fault as we should have installed an output fuse in the first place. We’ve since installed about 55 DL05 PLCs in our pumping stations, one on each motor, with no reliability issues in more than a decade of service. Another advantage is the PLC simplifies and enhances pump operation. A typical MCC had hundreds of wires and dozens of relays (Figure 3) in multiple buckets. In some cases the wire numbers had fallen off over time, which made troubleshooting very difficult. In addition, the control logic only provided one alarm pump timeout. When a pump failed to start properly, we were never sure why it had failed. Now, the PLC is programmed so the alarm can be reset by the operator; this allows the pump to run, while maintaining failure information in the ladder logic until the relevant area of the PLC program is reset by the technician. This gave us better flexibility in that a failed pump can be returned to service without losing information vital to the troubleshooting process. Another enhancement was to expand the type of alarms sent back to the central SCADA system. Now, the alarm is defined three different ways: pump fail, MCC fail, or pump control valve fail. Before the upgrade, it was common to have a few pumps fail to start every week, but that’s no longer the case. Dealing with water hammer In a water distribution system, another area of concern is always water hammer. Water hammer occurs when water flow is halted abruptly, causing a shock wave to travel through the line. The force of the shock wave can cause severe damage to critical control parts. When a large pump is started in our water pumping application, a pump control valve is used on the output of the pump to stop the possibility of a water hammer (Figure 4). The motor is started into a closed pump control valve, and the valve is allowed to open slowly. On shutdown, the valve is closed slowly and a microswitch notifies the controller to turn off the motor. Here’s the sequence of events that occur when a large pump is started: 1. The first motor starter pulls in 2. The second motor starter pulls in 3. The pump control valve is commanded to open 4. The pump control valve is monitored to ensure it fully opens Every step is timed, and if there’s any failure of the proper sequence the motor is automatically turned off. The pump is then held out of service until an operator investigates the problem and pushes a reset button. The old system was a nightmare to troubleshoot with its pneumatic and electrical relays. Now, with the PLC, finding the source of the problem is much easier. The PLCs have allowed us to solve our control issues at a low cost with high Continued, p. 13>> Figure 3: The pile of parts left over when a PLC replaced relays in an MCC. The specific problem was that when a pump failed to operate properly, it would time out and couldn’t be restarted until manually reset by an operator. This reset cleared the timeout relay logic, making it hard for the technician to troubleshoot the problem. Figure 4: A pump control valve prevents water hammer by opening and closing according to a careful timing sequence. www.automationnotebook.com 11 Automation Notebook Summer 2011 Issue Twenty Feature Story Cont. Trends in Automation Continued from, p. 11 reliability. We still use the brick style DirectLOGIC DL05 PLC in existing MCCs, but in our new MCCs we’ve upgraded to the DL06 PLC, which has more expandability and a local LCD display option. We expect similar reliability from the DL06 PLCs, along with continued ease of use and superior vendor support.

Although many installations and applications do not specify adherence to the UL 508A standard, it’s good to be aware of the benefits of UL listing for your control panels. The UL listing mark on an industrial control panel provides evidence of third party certification. It indicates that the panel complies with an accepted and specific safety standard. The listing mark may be applied to a wide variety of designs – from custom built to standardized designs with minor modifications. While there is a confusing array of electrical safety standards to contend with, from the overarching national electrical code (NEC) to specific areas affecting control panels, such as NEC Article 409, the most commonly referenced standard for industrial automation applications is UL 508A. Briefly stated, UL 508A is the standard for Safety of Industrial Control Panels. The requirements specified in UL 508A are in turn based on UL 508, the standard for Safety of Industrial Control Equipment, the NEC, NFPA 70 and the standard for industrial machinery, NFPA 79. One important service a certified UL 508A panel shop offers is to apply these standards to customer applications and designs. Out of the 38 system integration firms in the USA that are members of AutomationDirect’s SIDirect Program, the following ten are UL 508A certified Panel Shops. Please contact them to find out how they can meet your UL 508A panel requirements.

AutomationDirect’s extensive line of pneumatic and electrical components helped us realize these design elements easily, elegantly, and reliably. The doors: The set design consisted of five sets of custom built French door units which were completely freestanding. These door units provided the “theatre-in-theround” entrances for the actors. At the climax of the show, when young Clara’s world is about to fall apart, scenic designer Collette Pollard envisioned the 16 world physically cracking and beginning to come apart. Using AutomationDirect’s singleacting pneumatic cylinders, the “door toppers,” situated above the doors, pivoted from one side, pushed up by the cylinder. The cylinders were embedded in the vertical doorframe posts. The frames were constructed of 2” square steel box tube to provide a hollow space for the cylinders, and then cased in wood to provide the proper dimensions and appearance. To prevent binding, the cylinder was topped with a plastic ball which allowed the end to slide as the cylinder extended. The air line ran down the frame and out to the control panel upstage. The tree: The closing scene of Nutcracker called for a small Christmas tree to magically grow from the stage on command. The design team wanted a Automation Notebook Summer 2011 Issue Twenty tree that grew from nothing to approximately 18 inches. The tree planter, filled with fake snow, had a false bottom which the tree punched through to magically appear when desired. Our “Charlie Brown Tree” was built from various diameters of polyethylene tubing wrapped with soft iron wire and covered with painted heatshrink tubing. The hinges at the base of the branches were simply short lengths of extension spring which allowed the tree to collapse into a piece of 1.5” PVC pipe. The tree was pushed up through the floor by a 1” bore, 18” stroke double-acting cylinder. The doubleacting feature allowed the stage crew to easily retract and reset the tree between performances. The cylinder was able to push the tree around the 90-degree bend because the tree’s “trunk” was also made of poly tubing; flexible yet rigid enough to withstand pushing by the cylinder. There are three air lines attached to the under-stage tree mechanism; one each to extend and retract, as well as a purge line that was used to blow the fake snow out of the tree storage tube before retraction. The purge line was added after we found that the fake plastic snow which fell into the tube pre- vented the tree from moving smoothly. It is important to note that the tree itself remained vertical and never “turned the corner.” The horizontal portion contained only the travel of the cylinder and the poly tubing “pushrod.” The control panel: The AutomationDirect three-way pneumatic valves were operated by an eight-way MIDI-to-relay card through single-pole interposing relays. MIDI control was chosen as it is a control protocol native to the audio world; since the effects had to fire in time with sound effects, it made sense to allow the audio playback computer to control the actuation of the valves. It might be noticed that even though we have a double-acting cylinder for the tree, all eight valves are 3way, and not necessarily suited to controlling a double-acting cylinder. We simply used two 3-way valves, one for each side of the cylinder, to minimize air loss around the seals of the cylinders. Because we could not run our compressor during the show due to noise, our air supply was limited. Use of the singleacting cylinders was limited to a rather short time, and the tree’s cylinder did not need air once it was extended or www.automationnotebook.com retracted. The purge line used to blow the fake snow out from around the tree was only used post-show, and thus we were able to run the compressor as needed for additional air. A large white cylinder was mounted to the left of the panel to serve as a muffler; it silenced the sound of venting air as the cylinders were extended and retracted. It was built from 3” diameter PVC pipe and fuzzy paint rollers with their center tubes glued closed. This forced the air through the nap of the rollers and out through a grate on the bottom of the pipe. Our use of AutomationDirect’s extensive line of pneumatic and electric supplies and parts allowed House Theatre to tell the tale of The Nutcracker in ways that truly brought the audience into the story. Without support from AutomationDirect, House Theatre would not have been able to add this dimension of scenery movement and magic to our storytelling. 17 Tech Thread Temperature Control PLC-based system works where single loop temperature controllers fell short By Tim Hanes, AutomationDirect Process Instrumentation Equipment Product Engineer I n many applications, single loop temperature controllers are sufficient to provide control of heating and cooling. But in some applications, including the one detailed in this article, closely coordinated control among many temperature control loops is needed. In those cases and others, PLC-based temperature control can be the best solution. A meltblown machine, a melted polymer extrusion machine used in manufacturing nonwoven materials, consists of four main components. An extrusion system provides a steady supply of molten polymer, and a heated Figure 2, Example of Meltblown Die Assembly spinbeam distributes the polymer into an even sheet or web. A heated process air system is used to attenuate or stretch the fibers, and a vacuum system removes the process air as the nonwoven web is formed. The spinbeam consists of a large 304 stainless steel die body block weigh- Figure 1, Machine diagram. 18 ing approximately 8 tons, and heated by 72 1.1 kW electric cartridge heaters. The heaters are paired into 36 zones spaced on 4” intervals down the length of the block. On this machine, each of the 36 zones had a PT100 RTD temperature sensor for feedback to that zone’s single loop temperature controller. An output from each controller switched a pair of cartridge heaters to maintain an average block temperature around 425°F. Biasing setpoints for each of the 36 individual zone temperature controllers could be entered by the operators of the machine to adjust the temperature profile across the length of the spinbeam. Process air heated by a 320 kW electric circulation heater is delivered by a low pressure blower through large air manifold assemblies. These assemblies are constructed of 0.75” thick 304 stainless steel plate attached to the die body using 28 12mm grade-8 bolts. Varying Rates of Thermal Expansion Thermal expansion of metal as it is heated is normally not a problem if all assembled parts expand at the same rate, or if clearances with tolerances down to the thousandths of an inch aren’t required. But in this case, there were Automation Notebook Summer 2011 Issue Twenty However, due to their complex shape and space limitations, this solution was cost prohibitive. A better solution was an improved automation system in the form of a PLC and a Human Machine Interface (HMI). Historically, PLCs were used for discrete control applications, but today’s powerful PLCs have greatly expanded capabilities, particularly in the area of analog monitoring and closed loop control. These capabilities are provided in compact and low cost controllers featuring ease-of-use and a high degree of connectivity. On the meltblown machine, the individual single loop controllers were eliminated and the 36 RTD zone temperature sensors were wired to Figure 3, Example HMI Screen significantly different rates of thermal expansion for the die body and the air manifold. This was causing these two components to separate to the extent that the bolts connecting the assemblies were shearing. When the meltblown machine was started, the solid die body was heated with the cartridge heaters at a rate of 2° per minute. The air manifold assemblies were heated only by the pre-heated process air, and were thus increasing in temperature at a rate of about 1° per minute. With the two different heating rates, it didn’t take long to develop a significant temperature differential between the die body and the air manifold assemblies. Because the solid stainless steel die body was more efficient at conducting heat than the hollow air manifolds, it could expand in length by as much as 1% (or 1.4 inches) before the air manifolds could expand. Something had to give, and in this case it was often one or more of the 28 bolts attaching the air manifold assemblies to the sides of the spinbeam. The workaround solution was continuous intervention from the machine operators to monitor the die body and air manifold temperatures, and to adjust the temperature setpoints on the 36 individual controllers as Figure 4, Example Bicomponent Meltblown Machine required. A better solution was needed, one that replaced constant operator attention with automated control. The Power of the PLC After analysis and process trials, it was determined that the system could handle a maximum temperature differential of about 50°F between the die body and the air manifolds without shearing the bolts. One possible solution to maintain a maximum temperature differential was to install heaters and additional controls on the air manifold assemblies. www.automationnotebook.com individual analog inputs at the PLC. Also, temperature sensors were added to monitor the incoming temperature of the pre-heated process air entering the air manifolds. Using the PLC’s internal math functions, the 36 die body zone temperatures are averaged and compared to the incoming air temperature in the air manifolds. Based on the measured temperature differential, the PLC automatically Continued, p. 21>> 19 ® C-more operator touch panels offer: • Clear TFT 65K color displays (6-inch STN models also available) • Analog touch screen for maximum flexibility • Easy-to-use software CONNECT TO CONTROLLERS WITH DRIVERS FOR: • All AutomationDirect PLCs/PACs • Allen-Bradley ControlLogix® CompactLogix® MicroLogix™ 1100/1400 Ethernet ENI Adapter for SLC Series FlexLogix SLC® 5/05 Ethernet™ MicroLogix™ C-more touch panels in 6" to 15" sizes are a practical way to give plant personnel easy access to controls and data.

Temperature Control Continued from, p. 19 ramps the setpoints of the die body zones to individually control each zone’s pair of cartridge heaters. Specifically, the PLC determines the correct setpoint for each of 36 PID control loops. Each loop reads an RTD input as the process variable, and uses the internally derived setpoint to modulate a control variable analog output to control the heaters. This PLC-based control solution allows the machine to automatically heat at a rate that is compatible with the thermal expansion of the different components. The bolt shearing problem was solved, and the need for constant operator intervention was eliminated. In addition, pre-programmed biased setpoint temperature profiles in the PLC can now be automatically used as required, eliminating the need for machine operators to enter separate biasing setpoints in the individual single loop controllers. In addition to the improved control functionality, the PLC continuously provides and trends valuable data to the HMI, such as the process variable, the setpoint including any biasing, and the loop output control variable. Alarm points and conditions, either globally or for each loop, can also be viewed at the HMI. Touch screen HMI inputs allow changes depending on different conditions such as the polymer type. Prior to the use of PLC-based control, constant operator intervention was required to provide safeguards against damage and to manually track various process conditions. By introducing PLC-based control, possible machine damage due to varying rates of thermal expansion has been eliminated, and valuable insight provided by tracking and trending data that wasn’t readily available from the single loop controllers. For complex temperature control applications with different heating or cooling profiles, PLC-based control offers a versatile, powerful and costeffective solution. When paired with a touch screen HMI, additional process data can be viewed and analyzed, with adjustments to improve operations easily entered through the touch screen. “Instant gratification takes too long.” – Carrie Fisher (1956–) “Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.” – Maya Angelou (1928–) www.automationnotebook.com “Money can't buy happiness, but neither can poverty.” – Leo Rosten (1908–1997) 21 Business Notes Goings-on in the Industry Other videos released recently include a four-part tutorial series where product manager Jeff Payne shows you how to use the many features of the Productivity3000 PAC programming software.

Here are some expert tips to consider. Determine if a VFD is right for your application. The primary function of a variable frequency drive is to vary the speed of a three-phase ac induction motor. VFDs also provide nonemergency start and stop control, acceleration and deceleration, and overload protection. In addition, VFDs can reduce the amount of motor startup inrush current by accelerating the motor gradually. For these reasons, VFDs are suitable for conveyors, fans, and pumps that benefit from reduced and controlled motor operating speed. A VFD converts incoming ac power to dc, which is inverted back into three-phase output power. Based on speed setpoints, the VFD directly varies the voltage and frequency of the inverted output power to control motor speed. There is one caveat: Converting ac power to a dc bus — and then back to a simulated ac sine wave — can use up to 4% of the power that would be directly supplied to a motor if a VFD 24 were not used. For this reason, VFDs may not be cost-effective for motors run at full speed in normal operation. That said, if a motor must output variable speed part of the time, and full speed only sometimes, a bypass contactor used with a VFD can maximize efficiency. Consider your reasons for choosing a VFD. Typical reasons for considering VFDs include energy savings, controlled starting current, adjustable operating speed and torque, controlled stopping, and reverse operation. VFDs cut energy consumption, especially with centrifugal fan and pump loads. Halving fan speed with a VFD lowers the required horsepower by a factor of eight, as fan power is proportional to the cube of fan speed. Depending on motor size, the energy savings could pay for the cost of the VFD in less than two years. Using VFDs to operate fans and pumps can significantly reduce energy consumption, because they can tailor fan speed to the application. Fan horsepower is proportional to the cube of fan speed, so depending on motor size, energy savings can compensate for the initial VFD purchase price in less than two years. Starting an ac motor across the line requires starting current that can be more than eight times the full load amps (FLA) of the motor. Depending on motor size, this could place a significant drain on the power distribution system, and the resulting voltage dip could affect sensitive equipment. Using a VFD can eliminate the voltage sag associated with motor starting, and cut motor starting current to reduce utility demand charges. Controlling starting current can also extend motor life because acrossthe-line inrush current shortens life expectancy of ac motors. Shortened life cycles are particularly prominent in applications that require frequent starting and stopping. VFDs substantially reduce starting current, which extends motor life, and minimizes the necessity of motor rewinds. The ability to vary operating speed allows optimization of controlled processes. Many VFDs allow remote speed adjustment using a potentiometer, keypad, programmable logic controller (PLC), or a process loop controller. VFDs can also limit applied torque to protect machinery and the final product from damage. Controlled stopping minimizes product breakage or loss, as well as equipment wear and tear. Because the output phases can be switched electronically, VFDs also eliminate the need for a reversing starter. In addition to varying speeds, conveyor applications typically require frequent starting and stopping. Here, VFDs substantially reduce starting current to extend motor life. Select the proper size for the load. When specifying VFD size and power ratings, consider the operating profile of the load it will drive. Will the loading be constant or variable? Will there be frequent starts and stops, or will operation be continuous? Consider both torque and peak current. Obtain the highest peak current under the worst operating conditions. Check the motor Full Loads Amps (FLA), which is located on the motor’s nameplate. Note that if a motor has been rewound, its FLA may be higher than what’s indicated on the nameplate.

Students from four different technology classes have contributed to the project over the three year period; the AutoCAD and drafting classes have helped design and document the project, students in the metals class performed much of the welding and other fabrication tasks, while students in the electronics class have wired the machine and programmed the PLC. Instructor Frank Vanderpool has been the teacher and mentor who has championed the project from its inception. Sunlight is focused on a solar heat exchanger positioned at the focal point of the array. Water is warmed inside the solar heat exchanger and then piped indoors to a storage tank and radiator in the nearby school shop where it is used to heat the room, before circulating back out to the solar heat exchanger to be reheated. The array consists of 96 one-footsquare mirrors positioned in a 10x10 array. The four mirrors in the center of the array were omitted – because they would always be occluded from the sun by the solar exchanger. The array/ exchanger assembly is hinged and fitted with wheels so that it can track the sun with both altitude and azimuth motions during each day. Two SureStep stepping systems from AutomationDirect are used to power these two axes of motion via custom gearboxes designed and built by the students. Three simple photo-resistors are used as sunlight detectors to monitor the position of the sun. These photo-resistors are enclosed in narrow tubes, each with a slit facing skyward. The tubes are aimed ever so slightly away from the angle of the array - so that when sunlight reaches the bottom of the tubes and excites the photo-resistor, this light signals a need to move the array to keep alignment with the sun. One Figure 1 detector is used to monitor the azimuth axis, as the sun only moves in one direction across the sky each day, but two are required for the altitude axis, as the sun rises in the sky during the morning and then falls in the afternoon. A DirectLOGIC DL06 PLC accepts discrete inputs from the sunlight detectors and uses that information to control the motion of the two stepper systems via H0-CTRIO modules. Additional logic in the PLC is used to approximately position the array on cloudy days so that if/when the clouds dissipate the array is positioned to begin its automatic operation. The PLC controls the flow of water through the www.automationnotebook.com Figure 2 solar heat exchanger, and also controls a pump inside the storage tank. Analog inputs to the PLC allow the monitoring of temperatures in four locations: at the solar exchanger, at the point where the water enters the building, inside the storage tank, and the temperature of the air inside the shop. Based on the various temperatures, the PLC opens and closes a valve to regulate the flow of water through the loop, and most importantly to stop the flow of water if the array is not producing heat for some reason (perhaps a cloud is blocking the sunlight). The PLC also controls the flow of water across a second heat exchanger inside the storage tank in order to maximize the heat transfer into the storage tank when possible. On a sunny day the results can be more than impressive. In fact, on several occasions, the water has boiled and pressurized steam (measured at over 104°C) has caused problems such as blown hoses, requiring the team to reevaluate their design and method of operation. Other issues involved the inadvertent focusing of sunlight on a wooden component which actually caught on fire. Today, they have those issues resolved and water temperatures in the storage tank average about 165180°F even on moderately sunny days. They routinely heat the shop exclusively with solar energy throughout the day and even for a few extra hours after the sun goes down due to the thermal energy stored in the tank.

Variable Frequency Drives Continued from, p. 24 Web printing presses, paper mills, and material converting applications require the precise speed regulation of closed-loop control. For such cases, VFDs can be run in a closed-loop control mode. Elsewhere, volts-per-Hertz (V/Hz) and sensorless (or open-loop vector) modes are used. Don’t size the VFD according to horsepower ratings. Instead, size the VFD to the motor at its maximum current requirements at peak torque demand. The VFD must satisfy the maximum demands placed on the motor. Consider the possibility that VFD oversizing may be necessary. Some applications experience temporary overload conditions because of impact loading or starting requirements. Motor performance is based on the amount of current the VFD can produce. For example, a fully-loaded conveyor may require extra breakaway torque, and consequent- 28 ly increased power from the VFD. Many VFDs are designed to operate at 150% overload for 60 seconds. An application that requires an overload greater than 150%, or for longer than 60 seconds, requires an oversized VFD. Altitude also influences VFD sizing, because VFDs are air-cooled. Air thins at high altitudes, which decreases its cooling properties. Most VFDs are designed to operate at 100% capacity up to an altitude of 1,000 meters; beyond that, the drive must be derated or oversized. Be aware of braking requirements. With moderate inertia loads, overvoltage during deceleration typically won’t occur. For applications with highinertia loads, the VFD automatically extends deceleration time. However, if a heavy load must be quickly decelerated, a dynamic braking resistor should be used. When motors decelerate, they act as generators, and dynamic braking allows the VFD to produce additional braking or stopping torque. VFDs can typically produce between 15 and 20% braking torque without external components. When necessary, adding an external braking resistor increases the VFD’s braking control torque — to quicken the deceleration of large inertia loads and frequent start-stop cycles. Determine I/O requirements. Most VFDs can integrate into control systems and processes. Motor speed can be manually set by adjusting a potentiometer or via the keypad incorporated onto some VFDs. In addition, virtually every VFD has some I/O, and higher-end VFDs have multiple I/Os and full-feature communications ports; these can be connected to controls to automate motor-speed commands. Figure 4, VFD Control Modes Automation Notebook Summer 2011 Issue Twenty Student Spotlight Cont. The Future of Technology Most VFDs include several discrete inputs and outputs, and at least one analog input and one analog output. Discrete inputs interface the VFD with control devices such as pushbuttons, selector switches, and PLC discrete output modules. These signals are typically used for functions such as start/stop, forward/reverse, external fault, preset speed selection, fault reset, and PID enable/disable. Discrete outputs can be transistor, relay, or frequency pulse. Typically, transistor outputs drive interfaces to PLCs, motion controllers, pilot lights, and auxiliary relays. Relay outputs usually drive ac devices and other equipment with its own ground point, as the relay contacts isolate the external equipment ground. The frequency output is typically used to send a speed reference signal to a PLC’s analog input, or to another VFD running in follower mode. Typically, general-purpose outputs of most VFDs are transistors. Sometimes one or more relay outputs are included for isolation of highercurrent devices. Frequency pulse outputs are usually reserved for higherend VFDs. Analog inputs are used to interface the VFD with an external 0 to 10 VDC or 4 to 20 mA signals. These signals can represent a speed setpoint and/or closed loop control feedback. An analog output can be used as a feedforward to provide setpoints for other VFDs so other equipment will follow the master VFD’s speed; otherwise, it can transmit speed, torque, or current signals back to a PLC or controller. In Part Two, we will discuss selecting the proper control mode, understanding your control profile requirements, and more.

An engineer went to: www.AutomationDirect.com to purchase some high-value automation parts. She purchased various quantities of three parts: proximity sensors at $50 each, Stable motor mounting bases at $10 each, and Nitra pneumatic fittings at $0.50 each. She purchased a total of 100 parts, and spent exactly $1000 dollars (qualifying her order for free 2-day shipping). Can you calculate how many of each part she purchased? IO, IO, It’s off to Work We Go 2.) A PLC system contains 36 I/O modules and a total of 100 I/O points. All the input modules are 4 point, and all the output modules are 2 point – except for one 6 point input and one 4 point output. Can you discern the number of input vs. output modules in the system? Quarter Time 3.) The hopper of a packaging machine is filled with widgets on Monday morning. Each day the machine packages a single widget as a test sample, and then proceeds to package one quarter of the remaining widgets from the hopper. Recordkeeping is minimal, but it is noted that the number of widgets packaged on Monday and Wednesday is exactly 100 more than the number packaged on Tuesday and Thursday. At the end of the day, Thursday, the production manager asks how many widgets remain in the hopper. Can you tell him? Henry Ford Don’t judge a driver by the car! As told by a tour guide at the Edison & Ford Winter Estates Museum in Ft. Myers, FL. The tour guide prefaced the story by admitting that they couldn’t verify it, so read it at your own risk! It seems that Henry Ford was driving on a remote road one day and happened upon a stranded motorist with a brokendown car by the side of the road. As Mr. Ford was a very competent engineer and mechanic, he stopped to help. Without being recognized (or introducing himself) he rolled up his sleeves and spent more than a few minutes diagnosing and ultimately fixing the car’s engine. Once he was finished, the impressed motorist thanked him, and tried to offer him some money for his time and effort. Mr. Ford had to decline the offered money several times saying, “No thank you, I have all the money in the world – it’s simply not necessary.” The motorist apparently got somewhat annoyed by that repeated phrase, and finally retorted “If you have all the money in the world, then why are you driving a Ford?” If you are ever in the Ft. Myers, Florida area, be sure to visit the Edison & Ford Winter Estates. It’s a fascinating museum for anyone interested in technology or history.

Calibration is quick and simple. Z-tron III™ Point Level Switch, a reliable low-cost, on/off level switch The low-cost, Drexelbrook Z-tron III level switch is unaffected by sticky coatings and impervious to corrosive liquids. The all-electronic design means no moving parts to wear, break or fail. Based on field-proven RF technology, the Z-tron III is a simple and reliable on/off level switch. Economical Effective, low-cost material level detection in a wide variety of applications, and a desirable alternative to electromechanical level switches. No expendable parts to buy and stock. No expensive, extra-cost options. The compact one-piece unit is inserted through a standard 3/4-inch NPT opening into the vessel so that the sensing element is positioned at the desired high or low level. (Other connection types and sizes are also available.) When the material level reaches a predetermined point on the sensing element, it causes a change in status at the electronic unit, resulting in actuation of the DPDT relay. The relay can be used to operate alarms, annunciators, valves, or other control or indication devices. Maintenance-Free Drexelbrook's exclusive Cote-ShieldTM circuitry enables the Z-tron III to ignore dust pileups, coatings, and sticky buildups on the sensing element. Unlike paddle wheels, vibrating tines or other mechanical instruments, there are no components to jam, break or wear out. No need for routine maintenance, cleaning or replacing of worn parts. Suspended dust particles are also no problem as the Z-tron III reacts only to actual high or low level conditions. Reliable Operation Cote-Shield circuitry allows the Z-tron III to ignore coatings or build up on the sensing element. There are no false signals from dust or tunneling.

Volume 14 e38-6 Programmable Controllers 1 - 80 0 - 633 - 0405 Do-more with High-speed I/O High-speed operations The CTRIO and CTRIO2 modules are capable of a wide variety of high-speed input and output operations. Many of these operations take place on board the module, and are independent of the scan time of your PLC. With flexible 4-channel input and separate output channel design, these modules can satisfy high-speed counting, timing, and pulse catch operations, along with high-speed discrete output or several profile choices of pulse output operations. Not all combinations of input functions and output functions are possible within the resources of the module, but these examples are typical of the applications for these modules. 291 $ NEW 299 The CTRIO and CTRIO2 modules can be configured for timing functions based on both count or rate. Using a common configuration of a proximity switch sensing the teeth on a gear, the module is able to calculate the velocity of the gear based on the rate at which it receives counts. This value can be scaled within the module to the engineering units required for the application.

Up to two quadrature encoders per CTRIO or CTRIO2 module are available with connections for external reset, capture and inhibit signals. In a simple cut-to-length application as shown below, the encoder provides an input position reference for the material to the module. The module's high-speed outputs are wired to the cutting device and to the clutch and/or braking device. When the count from the encoder is equal to a pre-programmed setpoint within the module, the high-speed outputs are activated to stop and cut the material to a repeatable fixed length. Additionally, the clutch/brake signal can be used as an inhibit signal so counts are not accumulated while the material is being cut.

You may see some similarities to the DirectLOGIC PLC instruction set. However, the instruction set for the Do-more PLC is more advanced and intuitive. A good example is the MATH instruction. Now, just one MATH instruction covers all math operations and also allows you to mix different data types in one expression. There are over 60 operators and functions available with the MATH instruction. Note: To learn more about the MATH instruction, please refer to the Do-more Designer help topic ‘MATH – Math Expression’.

However, you can use the BCDTO and TOBCD instructions if you need to use the BCD data type with your application. Those instructions convert the data between the BCD data type and the integer/real data types. C-more & other HMI Drives Soft Starters Motors & Gearbox Steppers/ Servos Data Structure Motor Controls The Do-more PLC supports data structures as additional data types. Structures use the familiar PC programming organization of “dot notation”. All available elements of a structure are shown in this format. The following data structures are currently available: Proximity Sensors Photo Sensors • Timer Structure • Counter Structure • String Structure • PID Structure • Date/Time Structure • Task Structure • Rampsoak Structure • Program Structure • DeviceRef Structure • Drum Structure Limit Switches Encoders Current Sensors Pressure Sensors The data structure is a set of data. For instance, a Timer structure (Timer Struct) has the following set of data: Temperature Sensors Pushbuttons/ Lights • Acc (Accumulated Time, Signed DWord) • Done (Bit) • Zero (Bit) • Timing (Bit) • Reset (Bit) Process Relays/ Timers When you use a timer instruction (TMR), a Timer structure is assigned to the instruction. If you select ‘T0’, you can access the above data with dot notation. For instance, to access the accumulated time (Acc), enter ‘T0.Acc’. To access the Done bit, enter ‘T0.Done’. Comm. Terminal Blocks & Wiring Memory Addressing Power With the Do-more PLC, each memory address type has its own specific data type. Here are some examples: Circuit Protection Enclosures • V (Unsigned Word) • N (Signed Word) • D (Signed DWord) • R (Real) Tools Pneumatics Appendix If you see address ‘V123’ in the ladder program, the memory address always stores an Unsigned Word value. With this memory addressing method, it becomes easier to read and write the ladder programs. Although most of the memory addressing is decimal, the memory addresses DLX, DLY, DLC and DLV use octal. These four memory addresses can be used to exchange data with DirectLOGIC PLCs, which use octal memory addressing. w w w. a u t o m a t i o n d i r e c t . c o m / PA C s Programmable Controllers Product Index Part # Index Volume 14 e38-25 Do-more H2 Series PLC Overview Array Addressing The Do-more PLC supports array addressing with all memory addresses. V-memory address must be used as the index for an array. With the Do-more PLC, the following ladder program is valid. Note: In this example, V0, V100, V101, V102 and V200 are indices. Code-block, Program and Task One Do-more project can consist of more than one ladder program. Each ladder program is called a ‘Code-block’. The Do-more PLC supports two types of code-blocks, Program and Task. Here are their definitions. Program Programs are code-blocks that run based on an event using the RUN instruction. They can be self-terminating or never terminate. Stage programming is only supported inside Program code-blocks. Task Tasks are code-blocks that are enabled and disabled using the ENTASK instruction. The ENTASK instruction allows you to specify an interval to execute the task’s logic with a millisecond resolution or to execute a single time on a leading edge input. Stages The Do-more PLC supports Stages. You can use Stages only in the Program code-blocks. (They are not available in the Task code-blocks.) The Do-more PLC supports the following instructions for Stage Programming1: • SG (SG) • JMP (Jump To Stage)2 • JMPI (Index Jump) • SGSET (Enable Stage) • SGRST (Disable Stage) • SGRSTR (Disable Range of Stages) • SGCONVRG (Converge Multiple Stages to SG) • SGDIVRG (Jump to Multiple Stages) 1 There is no ISG (Initial Stage) instruction for the Do-more PLC; the first stage in the Program code-block becomes the initial stage automatically. 2 Many asynchronous instructions can directly initiate a Jump to Stage.

A base unit has an internal power supply that converts the input power (110-220VAC, 24VDC or 125VDC) to 5VDC in order to activate the modules installed in the base unit. For the Do-more H2 Series PLC, 10 types of base units are available.

It is used for a CPU or base controller. Optional modules (discrete I/O modules, analog I/O modules, and specialty modules) can be installed in the other slots. For instance, if you pick a base unit with nine slots, you can install up to eight optional modules. Motor Controls Proximity Sensors Module Slots are numbered from left to right starting with zero. The slot to the right of the CPU slot is Slot 0, the slot to the right of it is Slot 1 and so on. The following is an example with the nine slot base unit D2-09B-1.

Volume 14 e38-34 Programmable Controllers 1 - 80 0 - 633 - 0405 Base Units Module Placement and I/O Usage Tables There are very few I/O module placement restrictions with the Do-more H2 Series PLC family. In general, any mix of analog and discrete module types can be used in any local or Ethernet remote base. However, specialty modules can’t be used in the Ethernet remote base except for the F2-08SIM. Reference the Module Placement Restrictions table to the right for the Do-more H2 Series PLC. Analog I/O in the Ethernet remote bases When using an analog module in an Ethernet remote base, the analog update time to the CPU will be asynchronous to the scan time. Critical analog I/O should be located in the local base. I/O point usage The table to the right indicates the number of I/O points consumed by each module. Use this information to ensure you stay within the maximum I/O count of the I/O system you have chosen.

The chart on the next page indicates the power supplied and used by each module. The adjacent chart shows an example of how to calculate the power used by your particular system. These charts should make it easy for you to determine if the devices you have chosen will operate within the power budget of your system configuration. If the I/O you have chosen for a base exceeds the maximum power available from the power supply, you may be able to resolve the problem by using remote I/O bases. Base power supply specifications The table below lists base power supply specifications, including maximum inrush current and maximum power consumed from your power source. Power budget example The example on the right shows how to calculate the power budget for the Domore PLC system. The examples are constructed around a single 9-slot base using the devices shown. It is recommended you construct a similar table for your Do-more PLC system. Follow the steps to the right to determine your power budget. 1.Using a chart similar to the one below, fill in column 2. 2.Using the tables on the next page, enter the current supplied and used by each device (columns 3 and 4). Devices which fall into the "Other" category (Row D) are devices such as the operator interface and the handheld programmer, which also have power requirements, but do not directly plug into the base. 3.Add the current used by the system devices (columns 3 and 4) starting with the CPU slot and put the total in the row labeled “Maximum Current Required” (Row E). Column 1 A 4.Subtract the row labeled “Maximum Current Required” (Row E), from the row labeled “Current Supplied” (Row B). Place the difference in the row labeled “Remaining Current Available” (Row F). 5.If “Maximum Current Required” is greater than “Current Supplied” in either column 3 or 4, the power budget will be exceeded. It will be unsafe to use this configuration, and you will need to restructure your I/O configuration. Note the auxiliary power supply does not need to supply all the external power. If you need more than the 300mA supplied, you can add an external 24V power supply. This will help keep you within your power budget for external power.

The Power Consumed charts list how much INTERNAL power from each power source is required for the modules. Use this information when calculating the power budget for your system. In addition to the internal power sources, bases offer a 24 VDC auxiliary power supply with external power connections. This auxiliary power supply can power external devices. Use ZipLinks to reduce power requirements If your application requires a lot of relay outputs, consider using the ZIPLink AC or DC relay output modules ZL-RRL16-24-1 or ZL-RRL16-24-2. These modules can switch high current (10A) loads without putting a heavy load on your base power budget. Refer to the Terminal Blocks and Wiring Solutions section in this catalog for more information. This logo is placed next to the I/O modules that are supported by the ZIPLink connection systems. See the I/O module specifications at the end of this section.

Use NetEdit 3 to configure the ECOM modules for your network. Flexible addressing allows you to use your choice of protocols and identification methods. Assign each module a number, a name or both. You don’t have to use an IP address, but you can if it’s necessary for your network. NetEdit 3 uses two protocols for PC-to-PLC communications: IPX and TCP/IP. The NetEdit 3 screen displays all identifiers and troubleshooting information for each module on the network. You can use NetEdit 3 to adjust parameters for PLC-to-PLC communications by clicking on Advanced Settings. The network identifiers can also be changed from Do-more Designer software. Use Category 5 UTP cables which can be run up to 100 meters between nodes. If needed, use repeaters to extend distances and expand the number of nodes. Our HA-TADP (10/100Base-T) PC network adapter card and Stride Ethernet switches are compatible with the ECOM modules. See the Communications Products section for information on these items.

Use repeaters to extend distances and expand the number of nodes. The PLC, ERM and EBC slave modules work together to update the remote I/O points. These three scan cycles are occurring at the same time, but asynchronously. Critical I/O points that must be monitored every scan are best placed in the CPU base. Software configuration ERM Workbench is a software utility that must be used to configure the ERM and its remote Ethernet slaves. ERM workbench supports two methods of configuring the ERM I/O network: • ERM Workbench PLC Wizard greatly simplifies the configuration procedure when a PLC is used as the CPU interface. • ERM Workbench configures the I/O network whether the CPU interface is a PLC or WinPLC, and allows access to all ERM I/O network parameters. ERM Workbench Software Networking ERMs with other Ethernet devices Overview H2-ERM The Ethernet Remote Master H2-ERM connects a Do-more H2 Series PLC’s local CPU base to slave I/O over a highspeed Ethernet link. It is highly recommended that a dedicated Ethernet remote I/O network be used for the ERM and its slaves. While Ethernet networks can handle a large number of data transactions, and normally handle them very quickly, heavy Ethernet traffic can adversely affect the reliability of the slave I/O and the speed of the I/O network. Ensure ERM networks, multiple ERM networks and ECOM/office networks are isolated from one another.

Note: Applications requiring an extremely large number of T1H-EBC100 analog I/O or H4-EBC 16-channel analog I/O, could exceed the buffer capacity of a single H2-ERM module. In these cases, an additional H2-ERM may be required. Programmable Controllers Motor Controls Need a lot of I/O? Each ERM module can support up to 16 additional H2-EBC systems, 16 Terminator I/O EBC systems, or 16 fully expanded H4-EBC systems. Of course, combinations are fine, too. The ERM also supports Edrives. See the Drives section for details.

These modules also provide high-speed pulse output signals for servo/stepper motor control, monitoring and alarming as well as other discrete control functions. The CTRIO(2) module offers greater flexibility for applications which call for precise counting or timing based on input events or for high speed control output applications. It can also be used for applications that call for a combination of both high-speed input and highspeed output control functions. The CTRIO(2) module has its own microprocessor and operates asynchronously with respect to the CPU. Therefore, the response time of the on-board outputs is based on the module’s scan time, not the CPU’s scan time.
