Thank you for this video. I watched this, and was able to modify a AB micro 1200 malfunctioning output, to an unused one, restoring a machine to operation. Boss is very impressed. I think I saved his butt in more ways than just the pocket book. You do terrific videos, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience!
The 15:22 Squirrel comment made me spit out my coffee. Tim, these are phenomenal videos! Thanks so much for such great content. I have learned so much from you. All the best. Pete
Great Videos Tim - can you please make or point to existing video on how to read existing ladder logic program and make sense. I keep running into circles and waste lot of time.
That can be tough. I'm going to start reviewing PLC program, the first one being my very first program. Tentatively that live be a live stream on 6/10/2021 so make sure you are subscribed so you will know the date and time when I post it.
@@TimWilborne Subscribed. Thank you. This video was very helpful in visualizing the bit instructions. I like the idea of playing with bit instructions and lights and toggle to understand them how they work. I will get needed hardware and start configuring my 1756 :)
I’m having a problems with my software, I can’t add any output or rung from my bar, my professor told me is something about compatibility of my screen. Do you have any idea how to fix it? I appreciate your help. Thanks
You mentioned in program mode even if there is a 1 in the data table for the output the plc doesn't physically turn on that output unless it's turned on elsewhere. Would that be used in programming for a power failure to make a powered on output the default in certain situations?
I'm not following you. In a power failure, the PLC and outputs would be "off". If you wanted to signal to something else that the power is off, you would need to use a normally closed relay.
if I use a BASE tag to mimic an internal relay how do i do the wiring to make it work. I can do it with a real relay but not with an internal bit (BASE). Thanks
Do you have an explanation of .C vs .Data? Just wondering because I'm new to studio 5000 and I'm altering PLC code on a program where the guys used .C for some reason. Everything I find people use .Data... So I'm wondering the difference.

You are welcome Nick!

Glad to hear they have been helpful Pete!
Thank you, Tim, This will be helpful to me as I am learning to program a Start/stop of a pump from level and low-level switches signals.
Excellent! Check out this video that operates a lead lag pump setup based off of level switches.

Great video Tim 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video! I feel its much easier just to create the tag and attach it to the address than to type out the local address.
Yes Gary, aliases make programming much easier.
Thank you So Much Tim !
You are very welcome

amazing video. Very imformative
Glad it was helpful!
Do you have a video example using this with MCR?
Do you mean a physical MCR (Safety relay) or the instruction. Honestly, I haven't seen an MCR instruction used in decades in a PLC program.

Are you online? If so, it the PLC in RUN mode? You won't be able to make online changes if it is not in REM.

Use a BOOL data type
where is the video that you did the wiring?
Here you go.

How do I find an unused Output? Having trouble finding out how
Cross reference the word
Good video
Thank you

It gives you access to the same information that you can find on the configuration tab of the module properties.
Can the seal-in be used with one push button, or is best to use one On and one Off button? Thanks for the video!
It is called a flip flop or a toggle.

@@TimWilborne I just saw your response now, a year later. Thank you for that, and also thanks for making all these great videos.
Thanks, no domino el inglés Pero si entiendo su lógica , gracias
Glad to hear!
12:35 Its micro seconds, PLCs are insanely fast these days
