hello Mr Tim Wilborne thank you for the efforts made to teatche us how to trublshout our wiring circuit . that was great your video about th NPN and PNP i am very happy now . cheers from Morocco
Glad it helped
Never disappointed with your instructions Tim very good video.
Glad to hear it James!
Great video Tim, many thanks. Hope you'll keep doing this, very helpful.
We'll keep doing this as long as you keep watching Marko!
Thank you for the initial PLC training
You are welcome!
This was great. I have one of these PLCs and didn't want to use the commons on the cards when I have more than enough room to use the external terminal blocks for common and power and then just feed it back into the card. Thanks Tim.
Glad it was helpful!
I have 3 Interviews This up coming week in Phoenix AZ. for Industrial Controls Technician.
Your training videos are EXCEPTIONAL in detail and theory. ALMOST every video you make.
I have to KNOW for the Interviews. THANK YOU for your research...Save my ass.
You've got this David. Show them that you are confident in your skills.
@@TimWilborne : Thank You, I am studying SCARA now, for the FANUC 200id. P.S. you two make a cute couple.
Excellent video, Thanks Tim for share you knowledge
You are welcome
Good video. The wiring diagram was great for clarity. Would be nice if camera zoomed in more on the terminals and their markings.
Hi Michael, you can find all of our drawings at:

I am preparing for compact logix plc interview, without even seeing the compact logix plc 😑😑.
Hope this video helps me. I mentioned in my resume that i know compact logix plc. Lets see tomorrow...
Good luck!
Thank you for all that info!
You are so welcome!
God bless your family. I'm from Brazil.
Same to you!
Hi Tim, this is Rudy Bart from Los Angeles, CA
salute to the guy who is playing game in the background haahha :)
Great video.
Thanks!
Good work brother
Thank you Roger!
Thanks Tim, I really appreciate the efforts and time you spend to make these videos, this is very useful to watch.
Can you please tell me when can I use the four V terminals in the Input side and the four C terminals in the Output side ?
Not sure what you mean by the V terminals
thank you
You are welcome!
thanks
You are welcome!
Hi Tim,
Suggestion for the "power jumpers " make some from solid wire, that way are pre made and it can clean up the layout. Makes troubleshooting easier .
On our permanent demos we do, but on our trainer videos we try to use exactly what our students do. Thanks for watching Bill!
How is a safety signal (sensor) wired? and how DCS or RIN instructions works?
Very good learning experience in wiring. Can you make Video about the remote I/O connections in compact logix using Ethernet communications.
Yes we have some of those coming up soon.
It was designed to have 2 separate power supplies and touches on this in the product manual
New to controls, thank you for the videos. My dayshift counterpart introduced me to your channel. I must ask, why do the buttons illuminate one light, but the switch alternates each light in the way that it does? Thanks!
It is a test program that ships with our trainers just to make sure everything works. Honestly I can't remember why we did that. I probably thought it would be a neat win when the wiring worked :)
What does FP+ and FP- stand for? Great video!
Field Power.
Can you try , different sensor and how to wired it on PLC. For example 2 wire proximity sensor
I should hit that some time.
TIM;
great video.
do you have any videos on how to surge protect and how to isolate inputs and outputs
No but we have a video we're working on about noise immunity. I'll make sure we include this. Thanks for watching Shaman!
TIM;
recently we replaced a 18 pulse 400 hp VFD with 6 pulse vfd.
when we did one of six RTDs was affected by the proximity of the temperature controller to the VFD.
the old VFD had a reactor ad filter the new one did not.
The weird thing was that only one RTD was affected, the other 5 were just fine,all RTDS were in one 24 conductor shielded cable and and separated from any high voltage.
bottom line is it took us forever to figure out and correct it. we talked to all local VFD vendors, only Yaskawa local suport guy suggested that might be noise related but still he was not sure because only one was affected.
@@shamanking5195 Yes the goal of my video will be to take some of the myths out of noise. Too many support people cry noise at the first sight of something they can't explain.
Thanks for the videos. I'm Very new to PLC's and I am attempting to use an open source plc for my senior project. Would you suggest a power distribution block to hump the power from Inputs? I have a very small workspace and want to clean up the wiring. Any help is appreciated.
Hi Johnathan. That is a tough one. If you mean something such as a Raspberry pi then I don't encourage the use of them, even in schools. It gives you a false sense knowledge that will be hard to relate to when you get out into industry. I think I would leave the I/O as it is so you can gain an appreciation of the benefits of a PLC or these.
This is a great video! does the FP- terminal wiring to the DC common only work for inputs 0-7 and there is a separate DC common for inputs 8-15? or does FP- cover the commons for all 16 inputs?
In this case FP+ and FP- covers all 16 IO points
hey Tim, many thanks for this awesome series, I have asked you a question in other video, I got an issue with my PLC (compactlogix l30erm) a major error code 3 type 16 I/O module connection Error, I cleared the error everything got back to the normal for one day, on the next day I got the same error what should I do before I say I/O module is damaged? you advice please.
Have you narrowed it down to the specific I/O module that is causing the error? If it is an expansion module then the only thing to try before replacing it is disconnecting and reconnecting the I/O connector on that module and the module to it's right. Also make sure the right end cap is in place.
What gage wire you do normally use for your PLC writing, is it single solid copper wire or twisted pair?
I use stranded MTW wire for everything. The wire size depends on the particular application but if it is AC above 50V, then it is a minimum of 14AWG per UL 508A. For 24VDC, I use 18AWG because it is easier to get under the small PLC terminals with a ferrule.
What software do you use to create your wiring diagrams?
Hi Rick. I use an old version of Autocad and a lot of manual steps. There are much better ways to do it than I do.
Hi Tim, I looked for the wiring diagram in the link you placed above, but couldn't find it. Would you mind directing me to that diagram?
Here are all of our standard wiring diagrams.

What software do you use to draw up the schematics?
I'm testing new CAD softwares now. Stay tuned.
Good evening
I would like to get a kit plc training like you have to start working with plc
Or where I can buy it

Hi Tim, can you please tell me what are the terminals for FP- and FP+ when I am using AB Compactlogix 1769-L24ER QBFC1B? I am using com (DC IN) of this unit as FP-, but I don't know which terminal to use as FP+.
It will depend on whether you are wiring it for sinking or sourcing with the L24, see this lesson.

@@TimWilborne Thanks Tim for the clarification in the video.
You put one wire on fp - for button 1 how are the other switches using it ?
The FP- terminal is the common for inputs 0-15.
@@TimWilborne Got it , thanks
I have this Trainer TW CONTROLS TRN-ICP-RA5000-AIO, but mistakenly overwritten the original PLC Program. Can you provide a link to download it.
Sure, send an email to contactus@twcontrols.com.
@@TimWilborne Done. Thank you
@@toolboy3555 You have email!
What is the V+ and C terminal and used for
Personally I don't use them because if you have an overcurrent condition, then you take the surge across the chassis of the PLC. But they are connected to the FP+ (V+) and FP-( C) terminals.
Hey Tim , I don’t need physical inputs and outputs wired for the LEDs to light up , correct ? I though I have always tested code by just making sure the LEDs were lighting up when testing code. I am in a debate with a redditor who says I need physical IO connected to test the PLC IO.
You are both right 😉 Input LED are an indication of the physical input and do need wires. Outputs are an indication of whether there is a 0 or 1 in the output's bit box and don't need physical wires.
@@TimWilborne I guess the PLCs I always have tested code with has inputs wired and not outputs. Thanks !
Hi Tim,
The I/O light on the PLC is flashing and also show an "I/O not connected" on the software. I powered up the FP + and - and still no change. Is this still a wiring issue? This is a new PLC.
No, it means that something in your I/O Configuration is not present. Do you have any Ethernet modules configured? Are there any local modules configured that are not present?
@@TimWilborne Thanks for the prompt response!
I disable the ethernet modules that are not connect yet and the error has gone! Thank you
@@rnramsamy Good to hear!
Dont get it so your checking source power for button not working
Hi Tim What is the full form of fp+ and Fp- ?
Hi Stephen. What do you mean by full form? The FP+ is the common for the sourcing outputs of the PLC and the FP- is the common for the sinking inputs of the PLC. Does that help?
@@TimWilborne Thank you for the clear answer.
@@TimWilborne by full form i meant what does FP stand for , i have understood it from another video of yours that it is field point
@@stephenvjoseph Field Power
Why is FP plus and minus not internally jumped
Hi Dave. The FP+ gets +24V, typically through a MCR or safety relay to power the outputs. The FP- connects to 0V and is used for both inputs and outputs.
What are the wire color standards for 24VDC wiring?
That is a really tricky question. I have a video coming on it but there are none. Grounds must be green, that is it. My "preference" is blue for +24VDC and Blue with a white stripe for -24VDC.
What is the cost of the trainer.
Hi Daniel. It depends on the particular options. See link below.
