What Do You Remember?

The plant manager has just walked into the office. The machines are not functioning properly and they need to be shut down and re-programmed.That's a cost of £10,000 per hour to your business. What if you could step in and fix that problem immediately?

Most factories and buildings have some sort of automation functionality in 2024. No matter how much AI continues to change the world, this does not impact the fact that a PLC needs to be programmed or it will not function well. That's why we have created this interactive learning experience. To help you develop your skills at an introductory level and journey to becoming a highly desirable programmer.

PLC stands for programmable logic controller. The iQR range of PLCs has the largest memory in the range.When we buy a PLC and switch it on it does nothing, all the clever things it can do are what we make it do. It’s very much, like a computer in that we write a program and it runs the program.It doesn’t have a keyboard or mouse or monitor and doesn’t get slowed down like a computer does when data is buffering. That would not be good if it happened at a sewage treatment works!

A PLC is designed to operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year.

PLC 101 Basics

What is a PLC?

What Is A PLC?

What Is A PLC?

Power Supply

Base

Bases are available in two versions: Main and Extension. The Main base is the ‘top level’ and is the mounting place for the CPU(s). All PLCs must have a Main base.

CPU

The CPU is the brain of the PLC it runs the program which we write to it. There is a wide range of CPU types from basic to advanced plus some special variants for safety applications and redundant systems.

Input Modules

Battery

Click to listen to an audio synopsis

Output Modules

Click to listen to an audio synopsis

A power supply is essential to power the PLC and a few options are available. The purpose of the power supply is to provide power to all the modules mounted on the PLC, it does not provide power to external circuits.

Input modules are a similar construction, all types are the same width. The part numbers have a similar format; they all start with the letter ‘R’ to denote iQ-R PLC then a letter ‘X’ to indicate Inputs.

The CPU is the brain of the PLC it runs the program which we write to it. There is a wide range of CPU types from basic to advanced plus some special variants for safety applications and redundant systems.

Bases are available in two versions: Main and Extension. The Main base is the ‘top level’ and is the mounting place for the CPU(s). All PLCs must have a Main base.

All CPUs can have a battery installed and for all but the basic models of CPU a battery is essential and supplied fitted. The battery doesn’t power the CPU, its purpose it to keep the program in the CPU.

Part numbers for output modules all begin with the letter ‘R’ for iQ-R PLC and then the letter ‘Y’ to denote outputs. There are 3 main categories and 4 types of output.

Lorem Ipsum

A PLC is a machine, it’s not to be feared but to be mastered.ks.

A PLC can perform complex tasks quickly. You can choose what these tasks are and their order. A program is a list of choices and actions that the PLC runs over and over in ‘run’ mode. This is called the ‘Scan’, and it can be very fast, taking only a few milliseconds.

Video Series - Selecting Your Hardware

Selecting Hardware

Rob takes you through an overview of what goes into making the right choices.

Choosing Inputs

Rob helps explain how you go about choosing inputs for the PLC

Choosing Outputs

Maria talks you through the part numbers to look at and your options on outputs.

The terms Positive Common, Negative Common, Sink, and Source are all about how to hook up the input terminals to 24V so they work. Negative Common and Source need the terminals connected to +24V, while Positive Common and Sink need them connected to 0V or Ground to operate. Choosing between Positive or Negative common depends on the input devices, and you also need to consider the choices you make with Outputs. Modules cannot be switched during operations. Simple switches or buttons can work with either setup, but for semiconductor devices with 'transistor' connections, it's key to pick the right one.

Choosing between Positive or Negativecommon depends on the input and output devices

Sink Or Source

Deep Dive - Sink Or Source

For modules labelled 'Positive Common/Negative Common', switching modes is pretty straightforward.

The CPU is the brain of the PLC. Our coach Yemi explains more.

Rules Of Configuration

Always configure the module in the GXWorks3 project. PLC modules, except the power supply and CPU, can be placed anywhere on the base, but we must understand how the CPU recognizes each slot. The slot numbering is hexadecimal, meaning blocks of 16. By default, each slot is one block of 16 memory points.

Deep Dive - Rules Of Configuratin

The hexadecimal number system is a type of number system, that has a base value equal to 16. It is also pronounced sometimes as ‘hex’. Hexadecimal numbers are represented by only 16 symbols. These symbols or values are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E and F. Each digit represents a decimal value. For example, D is equal to base-10 13.Hexadecimal number systems can be converted to other number systems such as binary numbers (base-2), octal numbers (base-8) and decimal number systems (base-10).

Hexadecimal numbers are represented by only 16 symbols.

  2. Be clear on your understanding of the configuration of a PLC and the addressing of any type of module in any position (slot) in a PLC.
  3. GX Works3 is the program you will use for your programming. It has a very useful feature that allows easy checking of the Head address.

The numbering system is Hexadecimal which is a computing derived number system and allows 16 items to be represented with a single digit from 0 to 9 then letters from A to F.

Right For Best Results

Basic Programming Elements

Module Wrap Up

  1. A PLC will only do what we program it to do, it will not think like us unless we program it that way.
  2. It doesn’t matter that there is more than one way to solve a problem, what is important is to appreciate that there are different ways.
  3. A flowchart is a good way to start a program. It’s a good idea to make the flowchart as detailed as possible.

Getting the approach right from the outset is crucial otherwise one can end up down a ‘dead end’ with no way to go other than back out. The most obvious solution might not be the best choice in the long term.

Any CPU device relies on memory for it to operate and in a PLC the memory is divided into three main areas. Some of the areas can be adjusted, others are fixed.The Program memory is where the program is written to. It’s a fixed size and cannot be altered. The Devices area is where the states of the inputs, outputs, timers, counters, registers and so on are held. The Label area is for things like the results of calculations.

The iQ-R has way more memory than our other PLCs have ever done.

PLC Memory

What is stored?

Deep Dive - PLC Memory Allocation

Latches are digital circuits that store a single bit of information and hold its value until new input signals update it. They are used in digital systems as temporary storage elements to store binary information. Latches can be implemented using various digital logic gates, such as AND, OR, NOT, NAND, and NOR.Latches are widely used in digital systems for various applications, including data storage, control circuits, and flip-flop circuits. They are often used in combination with other digital circuits to implement sequential circuits, such as state machines and memory elements.Source - Geeks For Geeks - Latches In Digital Logic

How do they work?

Timers are basic building blocks in a PLC, a CPU has hundreds of them. They all behave the same way: On Delay.

There are four key elements to a Timer:

  1. An input to drive it.
  2. A delay value.
  3. A current value.
  4. A contact to indicate when the timing is complete.
