o A power supply (120 VAC to 24 VDC) rated at least 4.5 amps should be used to power each PLC and the MPS station.
o All PLC inputs shall be sinking inputs. The sensors and buttons shall switch (source) +24VDC to each PLC input. Sensors are PNP type and shall source the current and the PLC input module will sink the current.
o All PLC outputs shall be sourcing outputs. The output shall switch (source) +24VDC to turn an individual load on. The load shall sink the current to 0 VDC (Ground).
o The PLC outputs should be at least 400 mA. All I/Os are 24VDC. • 3 x Syslink cable connectors (IEEE 488) should be connected to each PLC (6 cables in
total) o Each cable would connect 8 I/Os to the PLC: One cable would connect from the PLC
to the MPS station containing sensors and solenoid valves. The other cable would connect from the PLC to the control panel, which contains operator devices such as pushbuttons, switches and pilot lights.
o These cables must be connected to the PLC before the competition. o See PLC wiring document posted on the Skills/Competences Canada website.
• Multimeter (VOM) • Set of screwdrivers
o Recommended o Pozi Drive PZ0, PZ1 o Phillips #0,#1 o Flat 1,2,1.6,2.5,6 mm
