Power Supply Wiring on The OMRON PLC

Power Supply Wiring on The OMRON PLC

The following example show the proper way to connect the power source to the PLC. Use 1.25-mm2 cables or larger. The terminal blocks have screws with 3.5-mm diameter heads and self-raising pressure plates. For connecting to the terminal blocks, use round crimp terminals for 3.5-mm diameter heads. Directly connecting stranded wires to the terminal blocks may cause a short-circuit.

Grounding

This PLC has sufficient protection against noise, so it can be used without grounding except for special much noise. However, when grounding it should be done conforming to below items. Ground the PLC as independently as possible. Class 3 grounding should be used (grounding resistance 100? or less). When independent grounding is impossible, use the joint grounding method as shown in the figure below (B). Use thicker grounding wire. Grounding point should be as near as possible to the PLC to minimize the distance of grounding cable.

Checking the work and making the report
Inspecting installation

After Installation has been done then done inspection of the work quality and wiring. This matter is executed by checking every extension cables at devices and compared with the wiring diagram which has been prepared. Checking extension cables and devices are done by using the assistive equipment like the multimeter and testpen. Matters which require to be paid attention to in inspection for example:

• Whether all Units of the PLC and I/O devices have been attached truly?
• Whether all cables and connectors have been attached compactly according to the wiring diagram and jam in lickety split?
• Are there Loose terminal screws?
• Are there Loose connectors?

Testing installation
Several items which require to be tested in installation of the PLC for example;
Wiring input

Wiring input can be tested by connecting all input devices and see the indicator lamp on Input Units of the PLC. Wiring input of the PLC can be told goodness if the indicator lamp on Input Units is ON.

Wiring output

Wiring output can be tested by using force instruction to output terminal of the PLC. The instruction can be used without waiting the program has been made and can be separated without damage the existing program if the PLC has been programmed.
The following example show forcing at the Omron PLC;

• Connect the Programming Console, set the mode switch to PROGRAM mode, and turn ON the PLC
• Enter the password by press
• Enter the force instruction by press

see the picture below;

Forcing instruction

Grounding Resistance, Insulation Resistance, Polarity

Grounding resistance, and polarity can be tested by using the Multimeter while insulation resistance can be tested by using the Mega ohmmeter. For the grounding resistance has to less than 100 ohm, for the insulation resistance has to more than 1 Megaohm/volt. The polarity of DC voltage require to be retested to prevent the happening of inversed polarity which can destroy the equipments.

Making the Report
The report is made for documentation. With the good documentation and depository of the good administration peripheral, we will be more easy to look for the archives nor things which we need.
