The fastest way to confirm PLC, CAN network and through to HMI?
I normally use this 772 process meter to simulate a 4-20mA signal on digital sensors.
In this instance I simulated brake pressures which confirms PLC nodes, the CAN network integrity, Main PLC and all associated wiring in between is in tact and functioning correctly on this Liebherr T264.
By then leaving a mA signal on and going through stressing harnesses back to source you can see if there are rub throughs or faulty connectors which alarm on screen that may only appear when the truck is moving.
Any breakdown HV truck sparky will tell you the truck can be faulting when driving around and when you get there it has magically cleared itself. Leaving you to try and recreate it.
Got a more efficient way to do it? Let me know!
