Study Notes
Ladder Logic Programming
- Configure Normally Open (NO) contacts and coils to establish XOR and NOR logic.
- Assign variables to contacts from previously created input values for better organization.
- Build and transfer the program to the simulator, ensuring it is set to run mode for testing.
Animation Table and Program Testing
- Initialize the animation table by right-clicking on contacts for monitoring variable changes.
- Experiment with varying input combinations to observe output responses.
- Practice writing ladder logic programs for NOT, NAND, and XNOR logic gates.
Predefined Blocks in Ladder Logic
- Learn to use operator and comparator blocks and delay timers effectively.
- Implement an AND condition to control a conveyor belt based on the presence of a box and closure of a safety gate.
- Create a new section in the Ladder Logic environment to utilize predefined operator and comparator blocks.
Timers Configuration
- Distinguish between ON delay and OFF delay timers and their application in machine operation.
- Programming allows machines to start after a set delay or continue running post-stop signal.
Variable Control
- Insert normally open contacts and assign variables showcasing the purpose, such as storing input status in a memory coil (M0).
- Utilize latching to maintain output status until explicitly turned off, useful for applications like alarms and conveyor systems.
Logic Gates Implementation
- Create sections for ladder logic that visually illustrates AND, OR, XOR, and NOR operations.
- Provide a tabulated format for truth tables associated with each logic gate for clarity in application.
HMI Integration
- Initiate the design of a basic Human-Machine Interface (HMI) using Vijeo designer, leveraging PLC variables.
- Properly configure the communication interface, ensuring the IP address is set for simulation purposes.
- Utilization of Boolean symbols in HMI design enhances interaction with the logic implemented in the PLC.
General Tips
- Make use of comments throughout the programming process for easier troubleshooting.
- Familiarize with tasks in the LD editor, including building, transferring, and testing programs.
- Ensure proper authentication measures are in place within operator interfaces for security.
