    Parameter Setting of Siemens S7-1200PLC Signal Module Oct 16, 2023
    Address allocation of input/output points Add the DI2/DQ2 signal board, DI8 module, and DQ8 module to the device view of CPU 1214C, and their 1. Q addresses are automatically assigned. After the configuration task is completed, you can use the device overview view to view detailed hardware configuration information. In the device overview view, you can see the byte addresses of the CPU integrated I/O points and signal modules. For example, the byte addresses of the 14 point digital input integrated with CPU 1214C are 0 and 1 (10.0 to I0.7 and I1.0-I1.5), and the byte addresses of the 10 point digital output are 0 and 1 (Q0.0 to Q0.7, Q1.0 and Q1.1). The byte addresses of both DI2/DQ2 signal boards are 4 (14.0-14.1 and Q4.0-Q4.1). The addresses of DI and DQ are allocated in bytes. If all the bits in a byte allocated to them are not used up, the remaining bits cannot be used for other purposes. From the device overview view, you can also see the input and output byte addresses of the signal modules assigned to each slot. Select a module in a slot in the device overview to modify the automatically assigned 1 and Q addresses. It is recommended to use an automatically assigned address and not modify it. However, during programming, the addresses assigned to each IO point during configuration must be used. Parameter settings for CPU integrated digital input points When configuring digital input, first select the CPU or signal board with digital input in the device view or device overview view, and then select "Properties>General>General" in the inspection window. The right window displays general information about the module, such as its model, order number, firmware version number, rack and slot number, and a brief description of the module. Select the CPU or digital input signal board, and then select a channel in the "Properties>General>Digital Input" folder of the inspection window. You can use the selection box to set the delay of the input filter (0.1 μ S-20 ms). You can also enable the rising edge interrupt, falling edge interrupt, and pulse capture functions of each channel using check boxes, as well as set the hardware interrupt organization block (OB) to be called when interrupt events are generated. The pulse capture function temporarily maintains a narrow pulse state of 1 until the next refresh of the input process image. The rising edge interrupt and falling edge interrupt can be enabled simultaneously, but the interrupt and pulse capture functions cannot be enabled simultaneously. Parameter settings for DI modules Select the digital input module in the device view, and then select "Digital Input". You can only set the delay of the input filter in groups (4 points per group) (0.2-12.8 ms) At the beginning of each scan cycle, the CPU reads the status of the external input circuits of the input module and stores them in the process image input table. During the scan cycle, the user program calculates the output values and stores them in the process image output table. At the beginning of the next scan cycle, write the content of the process image output table to the output module. Parameter settings for digital output points Firstly, select the CPU, digital output module, or signal board in the device view or device overview view. After selecting "Digital Output" in the inspection window, you can choose to keep the digital output at the previous value (keep last value) when the CPU enters STOP mode, or use an alternative value. When selecting the latter, select an output channel in the left window and set its replacement value with a check box to ensure that the system enters a safe state when automatically switching to STOP mode due to faults. A '√' in the check box indicates that the alternative value is 1, otherwise it is 0 (the default alternative value). Parameter settings for analog output module Select the 4AI/2AQ module in the device view and set the parameters for analog output. Similar to digital output, it can be set that after the CPU enters the STOP mode, each analog output point maintains the previous value or uses an alternative value. When selecting the latter, alternative values for each point should be set. The output type (voltage or current) and output range of each output point need to be set. It can activate the short circuit diagnosis function for voltage output, the open circuit diagnosis function for current output, and the overflow diagnosis function for exceeding or below the upper limit value. The parameter setting methods for the CPU integrated analog output point, analog output signal board, and analog output module are basically the same.

    Siemens S5 series PLC, memories of the first generation of industrial controllers, is there still SIMATIC S5? Aug 15, 2023
    Siemens S5 series PLC, memories of the first generation of industrial controllers, is there still SIMATIC S5? The SIMATIC series was first released in 1958, and since then there have been four major generations of products. SIMATIC G was launched in 1959 and revolutionized the field of relay control with its compact and energy-efficient transistors. Although there have been no significant generational changes, SIMATIC N provides faster and more reliable equipment due to the introduction of silicon as a conductive material. In 1973, the company launched the SIMATIC S3 series, which introduced microprocessors and integrated circuits. Due to the advancement of computer science, PLC can be programmed through software for the first time.   In 1979, the SIMATIC S5 series was launched, which widely used microprocessors; S5 PLC uses STEP 5 for programming, which is one of the earliest advanced computer-based PLC programming tools. It first ran on CP/M and MS-DOS operating systems, and later became available on Windows. Due to this flexible programmability, the S5 PLC allows for the control of complex processes. So far, Siemens has developed four product lines: 1958: SIMATIC Version G 1973: SIMATIC S3 1979: SIMATIC S5 1995: SIMATIC S7 The S5 series is sold in 90U, 95U, 101U, 100U, 105, 110, 115115U, 135U, and 155U chassis styles. The sales of the SIMATIC S5 U series began in the 1970s and mass production ended between 2003 and 2005. Afterwards, only spare parts were sold, but some modules were purchased as spare parts. For the SIMATIC S5 system, the product lifecycle ends on September 30, 2020. Starting from October 1, 2020, spare parts will no longer be provided and cannot be repaired. Before September 30, 2020, spare parts can be obtained based on availability and may only be exchanged. For the SIMATIC S5 system, the product lifecycle ends on September 30, 2020.

    In 2023, the sports control market was worth 18.9 billion US dollars, with the largest market share in China, accounting for 37%. Aug 15, 2023
    In 2023, the sports control market was worth 18.9 billion US dollars, with the largest market share in China, accounting for 37%.  July 26, 2023- The latest research by global market intelligence company Interact Analysis shows that after the high demand period for consumer products in 2021/2022 drove automation investment, the motion control market will return to stable growth. In 2022, the market value was 17.7 billion US dollars. Although the Asia Pacific region is the largest motion control market, the Americas region will show the highest growth rate in 2023, reaching 7.4%. Global economic growth will decline in 2024, but is expected to rebound in the medium to long term. In 2022, the Asia Pacific region, especially China, remains the largest motion control market, accounting for 37% of global revenue. Europe, the Middle East, and Africa account for 33% of the global market, followed by Japan and the Americas, accounting for 16% and 14% respectively. In 2023, the global motion control market value will reach 18.9 billion US dollars. However, the study by Interact Analysis found that although some suppliers are optimistic about the growth rate, with an expected growth rate of up to 20%, others are more cautious and are expected to remain flat compared to 2022. On a global scale, the Americas are expected to suffer the most severe impact. The upcoming market slowdown has seen some of the largest motion control industries, such as semiconductors and electronic machinery, perform well due to the boost from the Chip and Science Act. In the long run, the growth of the motion control market will remain stable, but as predicted by ITR Economics, it is expected to decline by 2024, consistent with the next economic downturn trend. Interest rates and high inflation will continue to affect the demand for industrial automation, and Japan's growth will experience the largest decline. From 2022 to 2027, the global motion control market will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 4.6%, from $17.7 billion to $22.2 billion. Japan's overall recovery is the strongest, with an average growth rate of 6.9% by 2027.
