Hey everyone,
I'm interested in learning some PLC programming. I am also interested in PIC programming. Be cool if some of what I learn in one would transfer to the other but no big deal. Anyway on to my questions which I will keep brief.
Just got 3-5 NAiS FP1-C40 controllers and expansions units for each which add 8 inputs and 8 outputs. I do not know much about them at all. I think they are fairly old as there is not much material out there on them. But they were free so I thought that they would be great trainers possibly. I say 3-5 of the units because I have already got one in hand but the rest are with someone else as he picked them up and was not sure how many he got. He also wants one of the units at least.
I really need to know how to program them. There are two cables that are needed first, a serial and then a tool port so that is something I already found but more links would be good. A specific tutorial would be great for them as well as I've never dealt at all with PLC so haven't got a clue how to set them up. For instance the power supply, how would I set that up? There is a spot for 24V but don't know much more than that. Where can I learn all of this? I realize that pretty much no one is going to know all of these or possibly even one but if you can point me in the right direction that'd be great.
Thank you for looking, have a good night.
