Need help: AB ML1000 terminal wiring and connecting to AHMI & RSLOGIX500

[LarryWC]

Hi all. I am going nuts trying to connect my ML 1000 32pt to AHMI, RSLogix. It connects with RSLinx and the output led comes on but not the input led.
I'm sure it is how I have or haven't wired the terminals correctly.

I am attaching the AB schematic for it with notes and am desperately seeking a kind soul to pencil in the required wiring to the inputs so that when I run a prog. in RSLogix or AHMI the INPUT LEDs will come on.

I have no external switches, I just want to control ML from AHMI & RSLogix.

The schematic has me completely baffled....

My first born to he/she/they that tells mshows me what I'm doing wrong.

Many,many thanks:

I may not be clear to what you are asking.....Are you trying to get AdvancedHMI to turn on the input LED?

Yes, and I am confused as to how to connect the wires to the plc.
Maybe I am misunderstanding the concepts, but my thoughts are:

Write the ladder in RSLogix
download to PLC
Write the code in AHMI and control the PLC from within AHMI.

For example:
In RS I have a XIC (I:0.0) and an output (O:0.0)
I have a simple PB and light in AHMI.
Build the project.
Run it, and when I push the PB In AHMI) the light should come on in AHMI and the I/O lights on the PLC should also (?)

So... must I have physical switches?
But my greatest heart-burn is the actual wiring to the input terminals, (Must a physical device [a switch ]  be connected to the inputs?)I must not have the 24vDC wired right or have I really missed the whole concept?

The attached schematic has the questions and a request to draw in the correct wiring.
The PLC has a external 24Vdc supply.

I am close to playing in the reeway traffic if I can't get it wired right.


Hope this makes my dilemma and solutions more clear.

The HMI cannot control input addresses. Only the physical inputs can control those. Try it this way:

B3/0            o:0/0

In AdvanedHMI, add a BasicButton to the form and set PLCAddressClick to B3/0

There is rss file which you can download and open in RSLogix 500:

You should be able to download the ladder to the PLC once you configure it properly with parameters for the MicroLogix PLC that you are using (use RSLinx to obtain proper parameters).

Then you should be able to modify and use the included AHMI program to test it.
Once you are to start the testing, shutdown the RSLinx.

If this is the very first time for you to deal with a PLC then be careful of how you wire devices to outputs (if you are to wire any).
Also be careful of who can access and control the PLC.

As Archie said, you can not control inputs from HMI, this is something by PLC design. You should use something like Archies examples to control outputs, but you will never be able to turn on an input LED or force the input through other than the RSLogix software or the physical input.

Guys,
Thanks for the guidance and input (no pun intended).

I have no idea why I had a senior moment, but all I can say is "DOH"!!!!
Thanks for the info and Happy New Year
