    Siemens S7-300 to OPC Server - Kepware, Mertz

    hi, MPI can go up to 187.5 K with a PC MPI board. Are you using Protool/pro for HMI? - ther is a tag update rate, there. What OS on your PC? From what i know there is a time frame limit on windos. For sure Profibus DP will increase your communication speed - up to 12M instead of 19.2 K -...

    Green,red lights

    hi all, Thank you for the suggestions. There is no problem for individual pilot lights (status = red/green (is) stopped/running) or simple push buttons (action = red/green (you can)stop/start ). The problem is when you put them toghether because of their almost opposite meaning- if it is...

    Green,red lights

    Hi, I do have a question: There is a standard (USA and/or Europe) about the color of the illuminated pushbutton?. e.g.: green light shows the status of the machine (running) or the pushbutton action : start? This applies also at the HMI's buttons. Thank you Eugen

    Siemens MasterDrive on ProfiBus

    1. Sorry i did not see that the message was so old :). 2. The previous message was for the profibus connection using PKW. again sorry.( The exemple was from a PLC 315-2DP and MWxxx was just an example). 3.DC Link is not supposed to be connected to a break resistor. DC link is for connection of...

    Siemens MasterDrive on ProfiBus

    From what i recall there are some bits in the control word that should be forced. so: if you send the control word from MW116 then: M117.0 is the start (=1) stop (=0) M116.2 has to be 1 in order to start the drive now if the speed setpoint is sent correctly(there is a parameter where you can...

    Displacement sensor

    Dear Sirs, It seams that the path gets clearer (I' ve seen the light... :-)). I will have a thermistor on the sensor, a initial calibration (done only once - 3 degree and no local maxims or minims.) It is like "factory setup". And a displacement calibration, done periodically...

    Displacement sensor

    Dear sirs, 1. I am not lucky. The relationship is not linear. The temperature is rotating the characteristic somewhere in the midle of it. I could use this point for the calibration but this implies a very fine tunning. I could compensate using some math, but there is no guarantee that the next...

    Displacement sensor

    Dear Sirs, Thank you for the answers. 1.I forgot to tell you that the gap i have to measure is filled with some water based substance. The compositin of this gel like substance changes in time. I presume that capacitive sensors are not apprpriate for this application. 2.From the same reason i...

    Displacement sensor

    Hi, I do have a project. I need to measure a gap of 100 microns in real time. One surface is metalic and moving the other is plastic. I tried a proximity sensor (inductive) with a analogue output (it is not a displacement sensor), i wrote a program to make it linear and is working fine as long...
