  1. Intelligent Actuator (IAI) SEL Programmable Controller with Cognex In-Sight Vision System

    The attached file shows how to connect a Cognex In-Sight camera to an IAI SEL controller via TCP/IP to send position information and other information from the camera to the IAI SEL Controller.

    Please Note!  With the new RA/SA/RAX/SAX/RAXD/SAXD and RSEL controllers.  The IP address and subnet of the controller needs to be set in parameters 172-179 instead of 132-139 as indicated in the document.

  3. Mitsubishi FX3 Series Devices Details

    The attached file is an excerpt from the JY997D16601 manual from Mitsubishi.  A common question asked about these PLCs are which devices are battery backed, how do I set that up and configure it etc.

    With these PLCs there are a pre-defined set of battery backed registers and it changes for each model, FX3S, FX3G and FX3U are all different.
    Some example details:
    Input and Output quantities for each series are shown below, as are M bits, D registers, and T timers.  For more information see the attached PDF file or the full manual.

  4. Inputs and Outputs, Sinking vs Sourcing

    The attached file discusses the difference between Sinking and Sourcing, NPN and PNP and Relay outputs.  It also includes wiring diagrams and background information into solid state devices like diodes, bipolar junction transistors and how these devices work.  If you want an intro into transistor theory and to understand the differences between sinking/sourcing or NPN/PNP, this is the document for you.

  6. Display Four Previous Images in In-Sight

    I was recently asked if it was possible to show the last 4 images on a VisionView.  The solution I came up with was to use the LatchImage and ScaleImage functions in Spreadsheet in order to overlay images on top of the main image for display purposes.
    While this has it's limitations, it provided the customer what they needed in their application.
    Overall it looks like this:

    Step 1:
    Create a Count function to keep a rolling count of images:

     
    Step 2: Add Latching Logic (4x), notice this points to our Count cell.

     
    Step 3:  Add LatchImage Functions (4x)

     
    Step 4: Add ScaleImage Functions (4x)

     
    Step 5: Add Text Overlays to indicate which image is which:

     
    Step 6:  Link to the checkbox for turning on/off this display.

  7. Mitsubishi iQ-F (FX5) to Mitsubishi Inverter (VFD) via Inverter Protocol

    The attached file shows how to connect a Mitsubishi iQ-F series PLC to a Mitsubishi Inverter (VFD) via Inverter Protocol over RS-485.  This works for all Mitsubishi VFDs with RS-485 built in including the D700, E700, A700 and F700 series.  It also works on the new E800, F800 and A800 series if they are ordered with RS-485 instead of Ethernet.

  8. GOT Recipe Handling

    The attached file shows how to use Recipe Handling with a GOT.  This is a slightly more complicated method than the "simple" method, it uses scripting and has some powerful options because of this.  This example uses the older Mitsubishi GOT1000 series terminals.
