Motors | Standard Automation

Motors can be programmed in the Motors program (highlighted blue below).  An example for Motor 1 is located below using a motor starter contactor (MS).  Signals for alarming and running are supplied.  Operator manual mode control logic is here as well.  A motor runtime programming block is also included.

Another example for Motor 1 is located below using a variable frequency drive (VFD).  The PLC and VFDs communicate via a modbus network (twisted-shieled wire and resistors), each requiring a unique node on the network.  The PLC is set to node 0.  Each VFD is set to nodes 101, 102, 103… Each node needs to be set in the PLC logic as highlighted below.  All signals are sent over the network.  Reverse mode is available.  Operator manual mode control logic is here as well.  A motor runtime programming block is also included.
