Installing Software in the Computer and that's all go to programming!

This Machine is very simple, so gonnna understand so easy:

• Machine is called "Iron Machine of Drums"
• Mainly it works "Rotatory for one side" and "Rotatory for other side"
• The machine is very old and it works with a "Handle" that Operator needs to work, and this make more difficult the project and Programmation
• We gonna create a Safe and Easy-handle form to Operate the Machine

So, What we need to create a new and better project?

• Install Emergency Stops better in 2 sides
• Install Pushbuttons Start and Stop since 2 sides
• Keep the Handle that operator works with this always
• Install Light Pilots for better operation of electrical system
• Install 2 Contactors to creater Forward - Reverse Motor Rotatory
• Install Thermal Overload Relay to protect Motor

Now that we understand all how the process work in the field, let's create a "Scheme" and think (imagine) what is the next step to continue

Scheme of a Electrical Control Cabinet and Station Box

Let's create a table to order our Control Elements that will use to the project, we just see only basic elements in Control Systems

It's time to Drawing the Layout, Begin with Electrical Power Layout

And Finally start to drawing the Electrical Control Systems, in this case all are Digital Signals 0-1, wire and connections are very easy

So, we have defined follow points:

• Power Circuits We have defined a "Forward-Reverse Rotatory" for 1 Three Phase Motor


• Control Circuits We have defined how Start, Stop, Lights Pilots, Safe and More


• Control Philosophy In this moment the objective is clear, better Operation, Safe and Technology

This is the program installed in the machine, It Works Perfectly, the program is the follow:

Maybe you may think it's difficult, but really the programmation is very simple and easy

First Blocks are to Start "FORWARD" (GIRO 1) and to STOP machine in any STOP or Emergency Stop Buttons

Important take Notee:

• X0 y X4 It means "START" of "FORWARD" (Giro 1), Machine Starts in Forward by these Buttons Start
• M1-M3-M5-M7-M8-M9 The Flags "M" from buttons "STOP" and "Emergency Stops"
• M20 This is only to create "Electrical Retention"
• X11 Remember is the HANDLE, this device have "mechanical retention", is not the same that a Pushbutton, this is similar to a "SWITCH"
• M8-M9 Flags "M" of Emergency Stops, in this case this Emergency Stops are with "Retention" ... Reason? Handle have retention mechanical, you need to open the circuit in this case, remember this case is more complex
• Y1 In this case goes "Opposite" it means when "Y1" is activated the contact will open Making Impossible that "Y0" could be activated, if both Outputs Y0-Y1 are ON, it makes a SHORTCIRCUIT
• M12 Flag "M" of Thermal Overload Relay, when Thermal Relay is activated the "Closed Contact" will be "OPEN"

For the next programmation is THE SAME but with Motor in "BACKWARD"

Finally we can see the FLAGS "M" Digital Inputs are all "STOP", always is better create FLAGS "M" because you can create amazing Control Logic in Software

NOTE VERY IMPORTANT Stops and Emergency Stops are "Closed Contacts", it means the contacto in PLC begin in Closed -|/|- to Status Open at moment of Push any STOP -| |-

Remember have all the important elements:

• Notebook or PC Computer
• PLC CPU Fatek Fbs
• Cable RS232 Fatek
• Cable Manhattan DB9 - USB + Driver CH340 (click download)
• Free Software PLC Fatek; Winproladder
• Electrical Supply and PLC "ON"

Now we have our simple program OK; go to PLC => On-line and the Software shows a connection screen wherer Serial RS232 is by default; the Fatek uses RS232 as the main communication port; not all PCs have DB9 connection

Before last connection we have to verify if we have all the Right Drivers, the Serial-USB uses a CH340 Driver, go to Device Manager and if we have our PLC connected (and turned on) between PLC and PC, you can see the list of COM PORTS and LPT

If we are OK; back to Winproladder and select "Autocheck"; we can see a screen where we can verify the Port COM 3 is the same that we have seen in "Manager Device"; Software has recognized the Port..... and So, Let's click and Start

Finally go to RUN and it asks if we are ready to start; Of course if we are sure!

Every Time we have modified the programm, you must Upload the program in "On-line"!!!

If you find a error between Communication PC and PLC like this:

The PLC that you have selected in the beginning of the project, is not the same you have connected!

Finishing the Project we can obtain some important results:

• Maximun Security in Operation
• Best Operation
• This is a simple project, but learning very clear, after you will not have limits
• The results are easy to understand
• Maybe using others PLCs you can obtain more information (data)
• In this chapter you learn to Configure, Programming, Project, Install, Drawing Layout and Start the Machine with new Control System
