Troubleshooting a PLC Output

This video shows how to troubleshoot a PLC output. I used a Micrologix 1400 and the program is RSLogix 500. I hope this video helps the watch understand the basic principles of troubleshooting an output on a PLC
Join me as I walk you through common problems you may encounter with PLC outputs and provide step-by-step guidance on diagnosing and fixing them. From understanding error codes to checking wiring connections, we cover it all.

Whether you're a seasoned PLC programmer or just starting out, this video offers valuable insights and practical tips to get your system back up and running smoothly. Troubleshooting PLC outputs doesn't have to be daunting, and with the right knowledge, you can solve issues efficiently.

Stay tuned for real-world examples, troubleshooting scenarios, and expert advice to help you overcome any challenges you may face with your PLC outputs. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more PLC troubleshooting tips and tricks!

Great video and on point. During my time in electrical industrial maintenance the most common PLC module we would find failed were both SLC relay output cards as well as Compactlogix. The relay outputs would typically be failed in the closed position especially on power open, power closed valves. Something to keep in mind is that 120V Triac outputs commonly leak current in the off state and can mimic almost full line voltage to a voltmeter with the output in the off state without a load attached.

This video makes troubleshooting PLC outputs so clear! If you ever need hands-on electrical troubleshooting, Johnson Electric and Controls in California is the team to call. They’ve helped me out of more than one tricky situation. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much; A very clear and slow explanation. Easy to understand, step by step.

Good job sir, exactly how I would have done it. I’ve actually ran into this out in the field several times, had 2 output cards with bad relay terminals not putting out voltage. You don’t see it much but I always like to add circuit breakers on my outputs when I build and wire control panels, a lot of times the output in the field could possibly take out the output it’s attached to. Good video!

Really good plc troubleshoot thank you for your time man

[bicoolelectricaladventurist]

Very clear and informative. Thank you

[naimhasan]

Very good explanation. I like it. Thank you so much for your informative tutorial.

This is one of my best videos. Thank you so much. Please, help and make more videos on plc troubleshooting. If you've link to other topics on plc troubleshooting please, share with me. Thank you again.

5:44, The NO in the diagram should be connected between DC1.VAC and OUT1.

Is it common to wire 120V load through the PLC outputs or better to wire a low voltage relay first? Let's say I have an air solenoid valve (120V).

[LidzDJ]

Is the pls short circuit protection on on the output side?

[ShujahHaider-by]

So Super informative video thanks for nice shearing sir 🇵🇰💖

[emiliohuerta]

thank you so much im between a tech 2 and tech 3 at my profession and had a little hard time understanding this. Now if i may adk a question so in this case if i dont have a laptop available, how do i force the button to stay on while i check?

I had 6 outputs from a plc, these are nozzles that were opening accordingly as programmed. However, after some times the began to operate inappropriately. Instead of opening and closing sequencially as programmed, they began to open and close in a wild manner, what could be the cause, any idea on what i should do?

I think the internal relay contact on the wiring diagram should be shown between DC1 and Out1 to check yellow light.

[Randylongoria]

Could you check for another output on the plc? And how would you program that?

[jordanneville]

Great video, How often do you see a PLC go bad particularly the relay type Mitsubishi plcs ?

[lifevideo]

Thanks, I got a new and easy system to find out trouble

[gechoemiru]

Is it possible to attach the manual to see it clearly. It will be more clear for me if I can see the wiring diagram.

In what/which software are you running/using the plc programming ?
