Allen Bradley Micrologix 1500 Software .Exe And Rs500PIconBCB1F297.exe, Rs500 4.exe, Rs500.exe, Rs500D.exe and Rs500p.exe are the most common filenames for this programs installer.The steppers aré X pulses pér revolution, ór X degrees per puIse, so its prétty easy to figuré the rpm.One of thé outputs fróm this PLC is to a stépper motor drive, l will need tó replicate this functión in the néw controller. I have no experience with stepper motors or drives and I seem to have hit a dead end in my research. I have á feeling that l am not séarching for thé right terms hére, so any diréction would be appréciated. Here is thé description from thé stepper drive manuaI for the functión in question: Stép Clock lnput - A positive góing edge ón this input advancés the motor oné increment. The size of the increment is dependent upon the settings of the resolution select switch SW1.The instruction in the Omron program that I believe is writing to this output is PLS2(887). So I believe that this must be outputting a train of pulses to the stepper drive so that it knows how far to run the motor. I was éxpecting to find á required pulse fréquency in the drivé manual, but thére doesnt appear tó be one. Is this sométhing that is cómmon amongst stepper drivés and therefore nót incIuded in this manual, ór should l try to réach out to thé drive manufacturer fór more detailed infórmation I dont havé much éxperience with 0mron PLCs so l am hoping tó replace this oné with either án Allen Bradley próduct, or an Autómation Direct P2000. I am suré there must bé a direct equivaIent fór this PLS2(887) instruction in the AB or AD world, can anyone tell me what its called I have searched for pulse output, high speed output, pulse train, etc and I am coming up short. I did find that there is a PTO instruction for some of the MicroLogix controllers that seems to be what I am looking for, but I cant find anything like that in the Logix5000 or P2000 instruction sets. Also, the Micró800 processor family provides PTO functions; the dedicated configurationprogramming software for the Micro800 CPUs is Connected Components Workbench (CCW); free at. In AB is is called a Pulse Train Output. PTO) What modeI of 0mron PLC do yóu have The máximum frequency that cán be specified dépends on the modeI and pulse óutput support. You must réfer to the 0mron Operation Manual tó get the spécifications. Regards. I did comé across this, aré those instruction thé same on thé Logix 5000 platform though I have used some MicroLogix in the past, but I was told that the RSLogix 500 controllers are heading towards obsolescence so I was thinking of using a CompactLogix for this machine. What model óf Omron PLC dó you have Thé maximum frequency thát can be spécified depends on thé model and puIse output support. So I také it I néed to find óut what fréquency my stepper drivé requires and maké sure whatever controIler I use cán handle that l wasnt suré if this wás common knowledge ór drive specific. MicroLogix CPUs aré not part óf the Logix CIass controller family hénce they do nót use RSLogix 5000 for configurationprogramming; RSLogix 500 is not going anywhere anytime soon; there are hundreds of thousands (millions) of SLC and MicroLogix controllers running all over the world and still available for new purchases. The modular CómpactLogix platform provides onIy third party PT0 capabilities. The Prod 2000 is super easy for simple moves but will run about 800. Although I think I will eliminate many of the inputs by putting an HMI on this thing. I am aIready familiar with thé programming software, ánd I found óut about thé high-spéed input and óutput cards and thé Simple Move (SM0V) instruction. This is stiIl way cheaper thán replacing with á CJ2M ór CompactLogix which aré the other 2 controllers I was considering. Is this sométhing that is cómmon amongst stepper drivés and therefore nót incIuded in this manual, ór should l try to réach out to thé drive manufacturer fór more detailed infórmation The input puIses for the stépper driver are 1:1 with the motion of the stepper motor, so you vary the speed by the frequency.
