Please don't learn people to wire a emergency stop function direct to a plc. Never trust a program to handel your safety. Always wire a safety controller, this checks for wire continuety. So wen a wire got lose your emergency conyoller shuts down. A few examples PILZ pnoz , twinsafe from beckhoff. You can wire a feedback signal from your safety controller directly to your plc
In the panel shown, there are many wiring connections between the devices. The ones connected to the PLC are the only ones that we have explained in any detail in this quick overview. Typically, one E-Stop contact is brought into the PLC for indication, and a second contact is used to interlock power supplies, outputs, and device circuits.
Thank you very much for giving this idea we should not trust in program we should not consistrat in function we should consistrat in our study good luck for the education
It was so much easier when computers weren't running EVERYTHING. I'm for automation, but my gosh when the Drawings have been made into trees and programmer is hiding somewhere I'm the Bahamas my hair turns Grey each second trying to......
This practice is shown in many text books, may be to amen aware first time students about emergency stops. I have found mostly, these protective functions being applied directly to supply input. I do not think, one contact for indication to plc of emergency stop will register the input.

What's the point of carrying sensor cables from the bottom, thrue the whole cabinet, to the terminals at the top, and then back, to controller at the bottom? Why dont You place sensor terminals near the PLC? Thanks for your videos!
The placement of devices and the routing of cables in a control panel is largely at the discretion of the panel designer. Many times, when there are multiple voltages in the panel (24VDC, 120VAC, 460VAC), the devices that are wired to each voltage are segregated from the devices wired to other voltages.
that's very beneficial to me. I do need have this kind of practical examples of regrading electrical control panel. Pls upload more like this one. apprecicate it.
I would love to see in-depth wiring of 3-phase induction motors (Star-Delta). Also modulating motor speed (VFD) using different protocols (4-20mA,HART, Profibus, Profinet) side-by-side will be very good as well.

@@realpars thanks a lot for concerned reply. I am in Kenya and I want to become a pro in PLCs and you have been so helpful. Keep up the best you're doing.
Thank you for your question. The decision depends on your load requirements. You have two options: using a single power supply with a 20% safety margin for your PLC and IO devices, or separating the PLC from the IO load with individual power supplies. Regardless of your choice, it's essential to ensure proper fusing for each component.

@@realpars welcome, I will do that... I have another question if possible... I am a systems and control engineer and I work in a company that produces egg trays... When I told the engineers here that the contactor works to protect the PLC from high loads... they said that the contactor is only An intermediary between the motor and the PLC and has nothing to do with protection.... Can you help in finding the correct answer?
Absolutely love RealPars... Can you please upload a video on process control for bread tunnel ovens? Like those which use RTD a temp sensor and modutrols as actuators for increasing or decreasing the flow and pressure of combustion air? Such air coming within a pipe, thanks to the venturi principle, entrains and mix with a volume of gas. The air/gas mixture is then finally burned at a ribbon to increase heat output depending on temp SP. Go ahead!!!!
Please show how will look the electrical connection of multiply single phase servoamplifiers with different power. They will be connected in cascade chain. Upper power line should have main circuit breaker, overvoltage suppressor, residual circuit breakers, noise filters and circuit breakers for each servo amplifier. And show how to calculate them and show specification examples of each device. Thanks
Wonderful video. But I have a doubt. Is the Legran Unit Distribuition for control power or cables? Here it is shown as a control cable distribution, while in the Main Switch Video it is presented as a power module. Many thanks.
The Legrand 048-XX distribution block shown is meant for use with individual control wires and low voltages as shown, but there is nothing wrong with taking a multi-conductor cable and spreading it so each wire can be landed. Legrand also makes power distribution blocks which are similar, except that they can carry higher current loads at 240VAC/415VAC.
Nice video.. Why are the pumps directly not connected with PLC using contactors or relays, what is the use of CIU between PLC and pumps ? by using relays or contactors you would have saved the cost of Ethernet switch.. Please clear this doubt
The CIU modules connect to pumps made by Grundfos that have integrated VSD (Variable Speed Drive) and allow more detailed control than on/off with contactors. With a single ethernet cable the PLC can control speed of the pump and receive feedback on motor condition, output pressure, flow rate, etc. This becomes more powerful the more pumps you are controlling. You will observe that this control panel has at least 8 CIU modules connected. The panel space to fit eight sets of contactors, terminals, PLC analog cards for speed control, etc. as well as running cables for each of these to every pump would quickly become excessive. Using a communications interface also allows control of the pump at a great distance. Pumps hundreds of meters away in a large facility can be controlled as easily as one sitting next to the panel, all over a single ethernet cable.
@@sjholmesbrown sounds great. So can a CIU be used to control speed of multiple 3 phase motors over 15hp since it have integrated VSD? and what is the difference between vfd and VSD?
@@silverline5789 It looks like this system requires one CIU for each pump to be controlled. The PLC can control as many pumps as you wish, subject to comms bandwidth and program memory space. VSD and VFD are two names for the same thing.
So the signal goes to PLC as follows ? Mechanical Energy when presses the button --> To Electrical Signal--> Digital Signal --> Process --> Digital Signal to Monitor --> Monitor shows the warning
Hello, @satish1012. Thank you for your question. This is also correct, but it will be “monitor shows the signal.” You can make the signal represent what you want, like ON, OFF, WARNING, STOP, etc. Happy learning from RealPars!
wow very exiting video, i've learned alot and you have made clear of alot of what i see in the field thanks alot realpars keep the honey runin in your channel love you all
Thanks for your videos. I have a question. hould we connect the negative wire of the 24 V Switching power supply in the panel to the instrumentation ground or not?
Theoretically, yes, since the 24 VDC power supply is typically connected to ground. Because some power supplies are not regulated as well as others, it is best to connect the common side of devices connected to a 24 VDC power supply to the V- terminal of the supply (usually a terminal block referenced to V-).
@realpars A spectacular easy to understand explanation course. I appreciate it so much. Is there any AI operated PLC design software that inputs the load(s) and generate circuit diagram for the entire PLC
Thank you for your question. I'm not entirely sure, but it seems likely that more options will be available soon. Many professional CAD programs for generating electrical diagrams have been around for over ten years and are continuously improving. You can search online for professional CAD programs to learn about their features and read reviews. Some companies even offer demo versions for limited use. Happy exploring
is it reliable to connect emergency system to plc,i mean i thought plc isnt reliable to shutdown whole system in emergency situation ? thx for your videos,i love realpars
The PLC has to be aware the safety system has faults and in my work there would be a e-stop safety relay , door safety relay and others as required However the robustness of the safety system depends on the safety risks of the machine and step one is to due a Safety Assessment and then build the system to control the risks In most modern machines the Safety Relay is going to shut off various things but as there our now safety PLC the complexity goes beyond a video like this
@@tommays56 there's also the possibility to use Plc désigned for safety. Almost every major brand does it nowadays, but an another hand needs people with a flawless knowledge of sécurity normes and wiring.
Hello, RealPars. I really appreciate your explanations by means of the tutorial's videos; that is very useful. I have a question for you. I came across a noticeable difference inside the control cabinets in relation to DIN Rail 35 mounting. Some brands like Rockweel Automation, use Parres insulators to separate DIN Rail 35 to the sub-plate. However, in other enclosures, the DIN Rail 35 is directly installed on the sub-plane. Would you mind explaining the reasons for these differences? or what is the standard to follow
Hi William, Thank you for your question. To the best of my knowledge, there is no electrical necessity to use an insulator on the DIN rail, at least not based on the AB PLC being used. It could be a matter of personal preference for the customer. We hope this information contributes to your learning journey with RealPars.
amazing videos, I have been learning a lot of and changing my mentality about that incredible world, but I have a question; ¿ HOW MANY SERVO MOTORS CAN BE CONNECTED TO THE SAME SERVO ASISTENT; if I have 4 servo motors , can I connect them to the same servo asistent ; or I need necessary to connect each servo motor to his personal servo asistent. THANKS
The answer depends on your servo drive/motor manufacturer and what software they provide for a software interface. In general, the same servo configuration tool can be connected to multiple servo drives/motors via an ethernet interface. If your servo drives have serial RS-232 interfaces, this may not be possible without physically moving a cable from one motor to another. Remember, servo drives are the controllers for servo motors, and a separate drive is usually required for each motor, but the drives can usually be networked together.
@@realpars thanks for the answer, I will follow u recommendations and get 5 servo asistent to my 5 servo motors, keep helping people, u do a great job, THANKS

Thank you for this sharing. It's quite insightful, and sure enough enhance my understanding towards electrical control panel. I am currently undergoing my internship, work on the project of this kind of electrical control panel, wish me luck sir!
Great video. I need to know about the coding of wire colours inside the panel under the EU regulations. There is a rule which colour can I use? Any idea from where can I find a table of wire colour for 3 phase and neutral, 24vac and dc, safety wires, control wires, start/stop wires, inputs/outputs wires, reset wire and data signal wire.
IEC/EN-60204 is the applicable standard. A handy color chart is downloadable at: www.rowse.co.uk/static/downloads/control-panel-wiring-colour-codes-info-card.pdf

And show how to calculate them and show specification examples of each device. Thanks
This video is very useful. If you explain the same with the Drafted Diagram, we can understand easily
Hey Makesh!
Thanks for your comment and your suggestion. I will pass this on to our course developers!
Thanks for sharing and happy learning!
Great as per usual . You always think out of the box .
Thanks a lot, Emad!
Thank you for interesting video and good explanations.
You are very welcome, Vladislav!
Wonderful video. But I have a doubt. Is the Legran Unit Distribuition for control power or cables? Here it is shown as a control cable distribution, while in the Main Switch Video it is presented as a power module.
Many thanks.
The Legrand 048-XX distribution block shown is meant for use with individual control wires and low voltages as shown, but there is nothing wrong with taking a multi-conductor cable and spreading it so each wire can be landed. Legrand also makes power distribution blocks which are similar, except that they can carry higher current loads at 240VAC/415VAC.
@@realpars Thank you so much for the atention on answering my question.
I love that explanations it's really helpful for students thank u realpars😍😘😘
Great to hear that, Lokesh! Thank you!
U r doing great job sir thank you from An Indian
Nice video..
Why are the pumps directly not connected with PLC using contactors or relays, what is the use of CIU between PLC and pumps ? by using relays or contactors you would have saved the cost of Ethernet switch..
Please clear this doubt
The CIU modules connect to pumps made by Grundfos that have integrated VSD (Variable Speed Drive) and allow more detailed control than on/off with contactors. With a single ethernet cable the PLC can control speed of the pump and receive feedback on motor condition, output pressure, flow rate, etc.
This becomes more powerful the more pumps you are controlling. You will observe that this control panel has at least 8 CIU modules connected. The panel space to fit eight sets of contactors, terminals, PLC analog cards for speed control, etc. as well as running cables for each of these to every pump would quickly become excessive.
Using a communications interface also allows control of the pump at a great distance. Pumps hundreds of meters away in a large facility can be controlled as easily as one sitting next to the panel, all over a single ethernet cable.
@@sjholmesbrown sounds great. So can a CIU be used to control speed of multiple 3 phase motors over 15hp since it have integrated VSD? and what is the difference between vfd and VSD?
@@silverline5789 It looks like this system requires one CIU for each pump to be controlled. The PLC can control as many pumps as you wish, subject to comms bandwidth and program memory space. VSD and VFD are two names for the same thing.
Thanks a lot for your efforts 😊 .. but I have a question please, Why there is no enough clearance around the power supplies?
The power supplies are vented on the top and bottom to allow for compact installation in panels.
Thank you, it's clear now .. really there is no matching content online to RealPars .. Great work 👍 ❤
This is very helpful. Thank you very much! 🧡
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much realpars ❤
You're welcome!
So the signal goes to PLC as follows ?
Mechanical Energy when presses the button --> To Electrical Signal--> Digital Signal --> Process --> Digital Signal to Monitor --> Monitor shows the warning
Hello, @satish1012. Thank you for your question. This is also correct, but it will be “monitor shows the signal.” You can make the signal represent what you want, like ON, OFF, WARNING, STOP, etc. Happy learning from RealPars!
wow very exiting video, i've learned alot and you have made clear of alot of what i see in the field thanks alot realpars keep the honey runin in your channel love you all
You are very welcome, Soualmi! We appreciate your support a lot!
hope have a video to Introduce the specification's grounding system
Hey!
Thanks for your comment and your suggestion. I will pass this on to our course developers!
Thanks for sharing and happy learning!
Thank you sir❤️
You're very welcome!
Thanks for your videos. I have a question. hould we connect the negative wire of the 24 V Switching power supply in the panel to the instrumentation ground or not?
Theoretically, yes, since the 24 VDC power supply is typically connected to ground. Because some power supplies are not regulated as well as others, it is best to connect the common side of devices connected to a 24 VDC power supply to the V- terminal of the supply (usually a terminal block referenced to V-).
Please add assembly guide, where we should put the power components and the control components in the panel, thanks
Hi Mohamed,
Thanks for your feedback! I will sure to forward this to our team.
Happy learning!
the true meaning of great useful content

@realpars
A spectacular easy to understand explanation course. I appreciate it so much.
Is there any AI operated PLC design software that inputs the load(s) and generate circuit diagram for the entire PLC
Thank you for your question. I'm not entirely sure, but it seems likely that more options will be available soon. Many professional CAD programs for generating electrical diagrams have been around for over ten years and are continuously improving. You can search online for professional CAD programs to learn about their features and read reviews. Some companies even offer demo versions for limited use. Happy exploring
is it reliable to connect emergency system to plc,i mean i thought plc isnt reliable to shutdown whole system in emergency situation ? thx for your videos,i love realpars
The PLC has to be aware the safety system has faults and in my work there would be a e-stop safety relay , door safety relay and others as required
However the robustness of the safety system depends on the safety risks of the machine and step one is to due a Safety Assessment and then build the system to control the risks
In most modern machines the Safety Relay is going to shut off various things but as there our now safety PLC the complexity goes beyond a video like this
@@tommays56 there's also the possibility to use Plc désigned for safety. Almost every major brand does it nowadays, but an another hand needs people with a flawless knowledge of sécurity normes and wiring.
Hello, RealPars.
I really appreciate your explanations by means of the tutorial's videos; that is very useful.
I have a question for you.
I came across a noticeable difference inside the control cabinets in relation to DIN Rail 35 mounting.
Some brands like Rockweel Automation, use Parres insulators to separate DIN Rail 35 to the sub-plate. However, in other enclosures, the DIN Rail 35 is directly installed on the sub-plane.
Would you mind explaining the reasons for these differences? or what is the standard to follow
Hi William,
Thank you for your question. To the best of my knowledge, there is no electrical necessity to use an insulator on the DIN rail, at least not based on the AB PLC being used. It could be a matter of personal preference for the customer. We hope this information contributes to your learning journey with RealPars.
Thank you sir for your effort..
You're very welcome!
amazing videos, I have been learning a lot of and changing my mentality about that incredible world, but I have a question; ¿ HOW MANY SERVO MOTORS CAN BE CONNECTED TO THE SAME SERVO ASISTENT; if I have 4 servo motors , can I connect them to the same servo asistent ; or I need necessary to connect each servo motor to his personal servo asistent. THANKS
The answer depends on your servo drive/motor manufacturer and what software they provide for a software interface. In general, the same servo configuration tool can be connected to multiple servo drives/motors via an ethernet interface. If your servo drives have serial RS-232 interfaces, this may not be possible without physically moving a cable from one motor to another. Remember, servo drives are the controllers for servo motors, and a separate drive is usually required for each motor, but the drives can usually be networked together.
@@realpars thanks for the answer, I will follow u recommendations and get 5 servo asistent to my 5 servo motors, keep helping people, u do a great job, THANKS

Great video. I need to know about the coding of wire colours inside the panel under the EU regulations. There is a rule which colour can I use? Any idea from where can I find a table of wire colour for 3 phase and neutral, 24vac and dc, safety wires, control wires, start/stop wires, inputs/outputs wires, reset wire and data signal wire.
IEC/EN-60204 is the applicable standard. A handy color chart is downloadable at: www.rowse.co.uk/static/downloads/control-panel-wiring-colour-codes-info-card.pdf
