RE: PNP sensor into a Micro820 sinking input reads nothing

Moved that COM to 0V and input 0 comes on with metal in front of it. But now inputs 1 to 3 with the old NPN sensors on them do nothing at all, no luck...

RE: E-stop on a Micro820 standard input, program stops but the PowerFlex 4M keeps running

So the rung stays on DI05, but it's not the E-stop, the relay is. And the comm loss setting on the drive doesn't matter for this because the relay dro...

The COM terminal for inputs 0 to 3 is on +24V. That's how it came from the guy I bought it off, not sure it was ever deliberate.

RE: 1756-IF8 reads underrange with a new 2-wire 4-20mA pressure transmitter

So a 2-wire transmitter needs a power supply in the loop and a 4-wire one has its own? I guess that's the difference?

What's the difference between .PRE and .ACC on the TON? Is .ACC the one counting up?

RE: 1769-L33ER major fault T04:C20 array subscript too large, once a shift

The screen has a numeric entry for recipe number, 1 to 20, and it writes straight into Idx. So if they pick recipe 20 it reads Recipe[20]. I think tha...

only the PLC. There's one contactor in front of the drive but it's pulled in by a Micro820 output when the machine is switched on. No yellow relay any...

It says 1756-L83E. That's what it is though. Does the emulator want it to say something else?

RE: S7-300 SM 331 level scaling shows only 0, 25, 50, 75 percent, DINT maths

I'm learning on a Micro820 and did nearly the same thing last month. Is it the divide throwing the decimal away? Mine only ever showed whole numbers.
