Hello Liever, See suggestion. Features: 1. The heaters operation are manual and individual by start and stop buttons. 2. Any heater can be started and stoped at any time without sequence. 3. Until four heaters can be work at the same time. After the fourth, if the operator tries start another one, this action don't takes effect, because the threshold trigger don't permit. 4. If the emergency button is pressed all the markers goes to "0". Each marker disable a PID contoller. 5. Each start of each haeter send number 1 to a counter. Mathematicals instructions add numbers of counters and send to threshold trigger. Threshold send "0" to AND functions after number 4. 6. Each counter return to number zero when the stop button is pressed. 7. With the markers you can do whenever you want: resistance contactor coil, timers, etc. 8. With a TDE module, for example, the operator can view operation time or remaing time for each heater process. Alternativelly, you can use the basic module display for this.

Hello Dinos Take a look at the enclosed doc. This has already been executed (except wiring I1 and Q1). The other 5 heaters are wired in the same way. To respond at your last post 1.The plant can work with no more than 4 heaters. If more than 4 works, the plant can be in fire, by overcurrent. Indeed , no more than 4 heaters can be on at the same time 2. Each heater processing takes 15 minutes, which 10 minutes in "1" and 5 minutes in "0". If somebody reduces this time, the final product can be compromised. That´s a quick way to shut the businees doors. Misunderstood : a cycle time of the sequence takes 15 minutes, which 10 minutes in "1" and 5 minutes in "0" ,when I1 to I6 are on Output Inputs I1 to I6 are 1 111100 I1 is 1 for 2.5 min 011110 I1 is 0 for 2.5 min 001111 I1 is 0 for 2.5 min 100111 I1 is 1 for 2.5 min 110011 I1 is 1 for 2.5 min 111001 I1 is 1 for 2.5 min 111100 Starting a new cycle Result : Every 2.5 min a new output is started ,the one with the longest working time is stopped Output Q1 is on for 10 min , off for 5 min A cycle time of the sequence takes 12.5 minutes, which 10 minutes in "1" and 5 minutes in "0" ,when I1 to I5 are on , I6 is off Output Inputs I1 to I5 are 1 , I6 is 0 111100 I1 is 1 for 2.5 min 011110 I1 is 0 for 2.5 min 101110 I1 is 1 for 2.5 min 110110 I1 is 1 for 2.5 min 111010 I1 is 1 for 2.5 min 111100 starting a new cycle Result : I6 is "0" , so Q6 is "0" Output Q1 is on for 10 min , off for 2.5 min 3. In the project that I made and you didn´t improve at now, there is nothing about process timers because you define that the process is doing manually. Manually means pressing buttons and checking a wrist watch. Misunderstood : See attached image , the operator can manually start and stop (enable/disable) the cooking proces for each heater. Every 2.5 min there is a switching of the outputs of the logo. This is a loop system ( I should have mentioned it earlier). When the operator enables I1 to I6 , Q1 to Q4 outputs are on for 2.5 min. After these 2,5 min , Q2 to Q5 are on for 2,5 min. And so on and so on. Ex. To stop the cooking process for heater 1, the operator has to press the "stop" button. (I1 is"0") So now Q1 is taken out of the loop sequence. A. Can the plant works with 6 heaters at the same time? If the answer is "YES", you really don't need a Logo. No It can't because of the current No more than 4 heaters may be on at the same time. Kind regards AttachmentIMG.pdf (213 Downloads) |

Hello Liever, Take o look in Cicle timing diagrams. It is clear to me now. I did them based in your grid os states with and without heater 6. We have to return to first project because the equipaments work based in times. Regards, AttachmentHeaters timing diagram 20 07 2016.zip (242 Downloads) |

Hello Dinos Thanks for the effort. I'm going to hire a programmer , because the program is due to next week. I'll post the program online. Kind regards |
