Software to know Electric Cable size

This program does electrical cable sizing, based on the most basic electrical laws. If you are planning to do cable sizing for a real installation, check the results and make sure that you comply with all electrical regulations.   Theory From Ohms law, the voltage drop in an electrical conductor is V = I R where   I = Current, amps   R = Resistance, Ohms   The electrical resistance can be

How can you set the time of an S7-300 via Industrial Ethernet?

Instructions:Generally you have two options for this. You can do this either with a CP343-1 IT or a different CP (e.g.: CP343-1) and use S7 communication or UDP communication.  Here you should always use a CP343-1 IT (6GK7343-1GX20-0XE0) as communications processor, because it sets the time of the CPU via the SIMATIC procedure or via the NTP (Network Time Protocol).   If you don't have a CP343-1

How can you synchronize CPU clocks with each other?

Instructions:If multiple CPUs are linked with each other in a subnetwork, you parameterize the clock of one CPU as the master clock. When parameterizing the CPU you also specify the synchronization interval after which all the clocks in the subnetwork are automatically synchronized with the master clock. You call system function SFC48 "SNC_RTCB" in the CPU with the master CPU. The call
