How to Draw a Wiring Diagram and Turn it into a PLC Program (EPLAN Tutorial) Reverse Forward Starter

✅ Join us here, get awesome perks, and support us, all at once:

When you look at an industrial control panel wiring diagram despite how many pages they include, they most probably consist of two sections. One is the “Power or main circuit” and the other is the “Control circuit.”

In this video:
1. We'll check and understand the logic behind a Forward and Reverse motor control wiring diagram by means of a practical industrial example.

2. We're going to convert that old Clockwise/Counterclockwise motor control wiring to a PLC wiring diagram.

3. You'll learn how to draw a basic wiring diagram with EPLAN Electric P8. So this part would be very helpful in case you're not familiar with Electrical CAD software.

4. You'll understand the basics of how to convert a wiring diagram to a Ladder diagram in the TIA Portal V16.

👉 To gain a better insight into reading and understanding Electrical Wiring Diagrams, watch these two videos first:

The mechanism that we're going to take as an example, is a three-phase electric motor that is installed on a conveyor system that moves the pallets toward a check weigher machine.

In this process, sometimes the operator must stop the conveyor, and sometimes turns on the conveyor in the reverse direction to move the pallets backward.

It is possible to implement this mechanism without a PLC but as you may know, these days, even for small-size processes we use PLC systems to control ALL of the mechanisms in the process, reduce the cabling works, and have more control over the process.

In a future video, you will learn how to wire the actual electrical devices of this process, download this software to the PLC, and simulate the process.

I really hope you'll learn something new from this video. If so happens, please LIKE and share this video with your friends, colleagues, or your students.

Great thanks to the author!
I'm very glad that eventually someone gives us such valuable content. Being Electrical Control Design Engineer I find this videos extremely valuable for me. So, please sir, provide more information about designing (preferably using EPLAN) industrial automation. For example using safety relays, sensors connection on the diagram, designing control panels, dealing with terminals and so...
Perhaps looking through out one of your projects

[charliewang]

Thank you ! I appreciate you producing this series.

[jamie]

Very informative video, I like that you are combining the design aspect with the plc programming. Great work keep it up!

[razerimperator]

Today is a holiday! Upmation has released a new video:) Thank you very much, I was really waiting for your new products!!!

[minwin]

Excellent video. Worthy to wait for it. Thanks so much Upmation.

[AnasAl-Dhafiri]

Thank you very much for your clear explanation and interesting information, please make more videos like this.
Good luck.

[alaezekingsley]

Wow! Thank you for this nice video.
I have learnt a lot in your lectures.

[MrGiedriokas]

amazing content guys, liked, subscribed, keep it up!

[swiftyu._.]

I don't know how to thank you enough. This has been a great reference tool for me.

[SohilShah_Melodyman]

Very helpful and well explained!! Thanks for sharing, sir!🙏✨

[carterwang]

thank you very much, this is best PLC beginner tutorial with full process.

[orlandoserrano]

Excellent video! Thank you mores videos with Eplan Electric or Autocad Electrical with PLC program this is fantastic.

[sabirfatol]

super High quality performance / thank you all gentlmen

[nkosinathizwane]

I like your courses. They enhance my PLC understanding. I am a trainer of basic PLC at work. I use the company PLC but I want to learn other PLC as well. Mostly I would like to learn Siemens PLC

[noelfaithfulkari]

You are just too good. I'm happy to have subscribe to your channel. Great knowledge sharing.

[kahwaichoong]

Hi bro, its me again 😁😁, really appreciate and huge gratitude on your hard efforts! I can feel your sincere and efforts and thinkings on how to break down parts by parts and let us understand very clearly!

[priyadharsinikv]

Good one..thanks for clear explanation...

[AP-pguf]

Very clear explanation, very clear materials, concisely and easy to understand, and very good practical exercise, very useful for an electrical designer. if you can do a full training course for a schematic for a full automation control system, that would be great.

[alwaga]

good for this information and thank you

[akhileshchandsharma]

You are a very good teacher.
I really appreciate 🙏 and hope we learn all about automation.
Thank you very much ❤️❤️
