Overview
The overall objective of the curriculum is to increase awareness of the PLCs and develop an understanding of applications and increase the troubleshooting / problem solving skills when dealing with PLCs and the integrated systems. Each module includes a lab assignment to maximize understanding using the hands on approach.

Course Description
Ladder Logic programs often contain a combination of contracts, coils timers, and counters with additional instructions manipulating data in the program at the word level. The basic course further explores the File Manipulation, and Block Transfer instructions. Programs using these instructions include data gathering, calculations, date and time stamping, reports, data concentration, totalizes etc. The basic course continues the development of the skills necessary to trace the flow of word information into, through, and out of logic programs using the Word and File Manipulation instructions. This additional programming knowledge provides the ability to comprehend and troubleshoot detailed control circuits. In addition, the system status and diagnostic data is reviewed and used to help diagnose and solve in-plant control problems quickly.

PLC-5 I/O Addressing

PLC-5 Use Octal Numbering system for its addressing Example 0~7 then 10~17, 20~27 etc.

21

PLC-5 I/O Addressing

PLC-5 Can be configure up to three type of Hardware (Physical ) I/O Addressing such as 1- Slot I/O Addressing 21 Slot I/O Addressing 32 Slot I/O Addressing

22

PLC-5 Slot I/O Addressing

When you select 1/2-slot addressing, the processor addresses one-half of an I/O module slot as one I/O group. Each physical slot in the chassis corresponds to two input and two output image-table words. The type (unidirectional or bidirectional) and density of the module that you install determines the number of bits that are used in each word.

23

PLC-5 Slot I/O Addressing

Image Table Words Allocated for I/O Group 0

You can mix 8-, 16- and 32-pt I/O modules in any order in the I/O chassis because 32 input bits and 32 output bits are available in the image table for each I/O slot. When you use 8- and 16-pt I/O modules with 1/2-slot addressing, however, you use fewer total I/O bits in our image table.

Image Table Words Allocated for I/O Group 1 24

PLC-5 1 Slot I/O Addressing

When you select 1-slot addressing, the processor addresses one I/O module slot as one I/O group. Each physical slot in the chassis corresponds to an input and output image-table word. The type (unidirectional or bidirectional) and density of module that you install determines the number of bits used in these words.

25

PLC-5 1 Slot I/O Addressing

26

PLC-5 2 Slot I/O Addressing

When you select 2-slot addressing, the processor addresses two I/O module slots as one I/O group. Each physical 2-slot I/O group corresponds to one word (16 bits) in the input image table and one word (16 bits) in the output image table. The type (unidirectional or bidirectional) and density of a module that you install determines the number of bits that are used in each word. Important: You cannot use 32-point I/O modules with 2slot addressing.

27

PLC-5 2 Slot I/O Addressing

Because each 16pt module uses a full word in the image table, the only type of module that you can install in a 2slot I/O group with a 16pt input module is an 8 or 16pt output module that performs a complementary function (inputs and outputs complement each other). Since all block transfer modules are bidirectional, they cannot be used to complement either input or output modules.
28

PLC-5 Slot Summary

Addressing 1/2slot Guidelines
One half of an I/O module slot = 1 group Each physical slot in the chassis corresponds to two words (32 bits) in input and output image table Use any mix of 8, 16, and 32point I/O or block transfer and intelligent modules. Using 8point and 16point I/O modules results in fewer total I/O. With the processor resident local rack set for 1/2slot addressing, you cannot force the input bits for the upper word of any slot that is empty or that has an 8point or 16point I/O module. For example, if you have an 8point or a 16point I/O module in the first slot of your local rack (words 0 and 1 of the I/O image table, 1/2slot addressing), you cannot force the input bits for word 1 (I:001) on or off.

1slot

One I/O module slot = 1 group Each physical slot in the chassis corresponds to one word (16 bits) in the input image table and one word (16 bits) in the output image table. When you use 32point I/O modules, you must install as a pair an input module and an output module in an even/odd pair of adjacent I/O group; if you use an input module in slot 0, you must use an output module in slot 1 (or it must be empty). This Configuration gives the maximum usage of I/O. Use any mix of 8 and 16point I/O modules, block transfer or intelligent modules in a single I/O chassis. Using 8point modules results in fewer total I/O.
Two I/O module slots = 1 group Each physical 2slot I/O group corresponds to one word (16 bits) in the input image table and one word (16 bits) in the output image table. When you use 16point I/O modules, you must install as a pair an input module and an output module in. An I/O group; if you use an input module in slot 0, you must use an output module in slot 1 (or it must be empty). This configuration gives you the maximum usage of I/O. You cannot use a block transfer module and a 16point module in the same I/O group because. Block transfer modules use 8 bits in both the input and output table. Therefore, 8 bits of the 16point module would conflict with the block transfer module. you cannot use 32point I/O modules. 29

Configure a driver in RSLinx

Of course, you will want your program to run in a controller. That means you will need some way to connect your computer to your controller and you will have to tell the software how you are connected. Communications from RSLogix 5 take place through another software package, called RSLinx Classic. RSLogix 5 talks to RSLinx Classic, which in turn talks to your communications devices.
39

Configure a driver in RSLinx

The driver you use depends on the way your processor is physically connected to your computer. There is a wide variety of possible physical connections. its important you know which type of connection your system is using and how that physical connection is configured. For instance, if your processor is connected to your network through DH+ Network you should use compatible driver in RSLinx
40

Configure a driver in RSLinx

Open RSLinx Classic by clicking Start > Programs > Rockwell Software > RSLinx > RSLinx. RSLinx Classic starts in a minimized mode you will see an RSLinx icon in your Windows System Tray. (The System Tray is a part of the Windows Taskbar by default, the System Tray is in the lower right-hand corner of your screen.) Click the RSLinx icon to open the RSLinx window.

This is the RSLinx icon that appears in the System Tray

41

Configure a driver in RSLinx

In RSLinx Classic, click Communications > Configure Drivers. This opens the Configure Drivers window. In the Configure Drivers window, select the driver you need to use based on your physical connection to the processor. For example, if you are connecting with a 1784-KT card, select the 1784- KT/KTX(D) /PKTX(D) /PCMK for DH+/DH485 devices driver.

When you open a program file by double-clicking its icon in the project tree, the ladder file opens in the right half of the RSLogix 5 window. Usually program file #2, the main program file, is opened when you open a project. If you have not begun to enter any ladder logic, only the end rung will show. To enter ladder logic to a new program: 1. Click on the end rung and then select the new rung icon on the User tab of the instruction toolbar. 2. To place an instruction on a rung, click its icon on the instruction toolbar. You can place several instructions on a rung in sequence by clicking the icons one after another. RSLogix 5 places instructions from left to right.

61

Rslogix 5 Enter a logic program

2. Assign an address to each instruction. Double-click an instruction, type the address in the empty field that appears above the instruction, then press the Enter key. With RSLogix 5 you can also drag and drop addresses from a data table file onto instructions in your ladder logic. 4. Continue adding rungs, remembering to save your file periodically with File > Save.

RSLogix 5 supports a file-based editor. This means that you can: create and/or edit multiple rungs at a time, enter addresses before you actually create data table files for your I/O, enter symbols before you have assigned addresses for them in the database, enter instructions without having to provide addresses until just before file validation occurs

Exercise of logic program

1 The JSR, SBR, and RET instructions direct the processor to go to a separate subroutine file within the ladder program, scan that subroutine file once, and return to the point of departure. 2 The JSR instruction directs the processor to the specified subroutine file, and if required, defines the parameters passed to and received from the subroutine. The optional SBR instruction is the header instruction that stores incoming parameters. Use SBR only if you want to pass parameters. The RET instruction ends the subroutine, and if required, stores parameters to be returned to the JSR instruction in the main program.
