In some cases, you need to be innovative to handle the task compeletly.As it may seem a rare case to do such a revamp project. Regards

Ask operators how the parts should be working, try to translate eachpart in plc logic. Regards, Marcjan

The obvious one: Ladder logic is the best choice to reproduce any hardwired relay based "logic" in a PLC program (this is the reason Ladder logic was invented which stronglyresembleselectrical schematics). 2.)The NOT so obvious one: A hardwiredcircuit (includingrelays, timer relays, mechancial drum sequencerns, analogue controllersetc) has its own timing rules. A direct conversion ofthese circuit toa Ladder logicbased "softwired"PLC program changes this, sinceyou are now dealing with a digital control system and its timing rules (e.g. scan based/cyclic execution). This may (or maynot) create a slightly diferent and/or non-functioning control behaviourand is at least something to be aware of and to be considered when doing the conversion. I hope this helps

IBN-Service Posts: 8946 Rating: (999)	fritz ... I hope this helps Hi fritz, you are right (like mostly always), but only when we are speaking about a small machine. Lets say, not more than 20 contactors, relais? But if it becomes more difficult, 100 contactors or more, than I think that the concept of Marcjan is necessarily. If you have a real big switchgear cabinet, there is just a less chance to convert the paperplan into a ladder logic. That is my experience.

Let me explain my the control I/O's the stelizer has 8 thermocouple inputs,for which i have decided to use 7KF02 module. And a single BLOWER ,1 digital out. 6 Heaters ,digital output. and i have to create an HMI on wincc flexible .... as i understand from the above discussion is that first of all i have to convert the WLC diagram into PLC ladder logic.

Dear ashan, if you know the operation philosophy ,you can make logic accordingly.

gre_m Posts: 947 Rating: (45)	Hi WLC there are at least two kinds - the image of the memory card, received PG, and the image to Win AC RTX. I do not know - is there a difference in the version (generate from)for Plcsym as saved memory
