IV. Working Principle
As the core module of the PLC, the PU512V2 follows a cyclic scanning mechanism in its workflow, divided into the following stages:
Input Sampling Stage
- Acquires input signals from field devices (e.g., sensors, buttons) through extended I/O modules and stores them in the input image register.
Program Execution Stage
- Executes user programs in scanning order, performs logical operations based on data from the input image register and internal registers, and stores results in the output image register.
Output Refresh Stage
- Outputs the status of the output image register to actuators (e.g., motors, valves) via I/O modules to achieve device control.
Communication and Diagnosis Stage
- Processes requests from communication interfaces (e.g., receiving HMI commands, sending data to SCADA);
- Self-diagnoses internal hardware status (e.g., memory errors, communication anomalies) and alarms via LED indicators.
V. Common Faults and Solutions
| Fault Phenomenon | Possible Causes | Solutions |
|---|---|---|
| Power light (PWR) not on | Loose power connection or abnormal voltage | Check power cable connections, measure input voltage within 24V DC (±10%), and replace the power module. |
| RUN light not on | Program errors (e.g., syntax errors, infinite loops) | Check program logic via Control Builder software, download error-free programs, and restart the module to clear the cache. |
| Communication interruption | Network cable failure, IP conflict, or protocol configuration error | Detect network cable continuity, replace RJ45 connectors, and verify IP addresses and communication protocol parameters (e.g., baud rate, parity bit). |
| I/O module unresponsive | Poor expansion bus contact or module address conflict | Re-plug I/O modules, check bus connectors, and ensure module addresses are within the allowable range (e.g., 0-63). |
| Program loss or abnormality | Insufficient battery power (data backup failure) | Replace the internal battery (3.6V lithium battery), re-download the program, and verify the data retention function. |
| Module overheating | Poor control cabinet heat dissipation or high ambient temperature | Add cooling fans to ensure good ventilation around the module; install a temperature-controlled cooling device if the ambient temperature exceeds 70°C. |
