Writing PLC program First time for AB PLC. -(configuration of Programming Soft.)


If you want to learn and practice your PLC ladder logic and don't have a Hardware of PLC.!!!

So in this post I will show you, how to configure your programming software, that is I will show you how to Configure RSlogix500 english pro with RSLogix Emulate500 simulation software, So you can practice you ladder logic without PLC hardware.

follow below steps and you can also practice your ladder logic:--

step 1 :- Click on RSlinx software and open up the communication software.

Step 2 :-now go into the communication and then Configure Drives.




Step 3 :-Select ,stop and delete previous drives if available.




Step 4:- Now click on drop down arrow and select any emulator drive like SLC 500[DH485]emulator drive or PLC-5[DH+]Emulator drive, after selecting the emulator click on Add new and close the window.





Step 5:-Click on OK for emulator driver and kept station name as 00 and click on OK and you will see that new driver is running, now minimize the window.


Step 6 :- Now you done with your communication steps now open up the programming software RSlogix 500 English.


Step 7 :-Now click on file, new then give a name for processor in my case its TEST1, Select any PLC series but choose the series with less memory as we are using it for simulation, then choose EMU500-1 as a Communication setting driver, after selecting everything click on OK.








Step 8:-  Now click on IO Configuration, and add digital or analog IO's, As without configuration of IO's you cant give addressing for input and outputs in Ladder logic.After configuring the IO's minimize the window.



Step 9 :- Make any ladder logic and drag the addresses of inputs and outputs, then save the project.





Step 10 :- Download your program and it will automatically open up your Simulator software RSlogix Emulate500, if not open then you need to open it and then open your ladder program and then click on run which is just next to your program file name in my case it's TEST1:[01] in Emulator software.






Step 11 :- when it ask Do you want to  go online then click on yes and your ladder logic activates. You can turn ON and OFF your input NO, NC contacts by toggle.

Timers in Siemens PLC Simatic manager

Timer :- Timer is nothing but a specialized clock in a programming software used to count the preset time intervals. In   Siemens PLC we have various ty pes of timers as :- 1) S_PULSE(Pulse timer), 2) S_PEXT(Extended Pulse Timer), 3) S_ODT(On Delay Timer), 4) S_ODTS(Retentive On Delay Timer), 5) S_OFFDT(Off Delay Timer). You must find out another five instruction sets in Timer Block in Simatic Manager STEP 7 as :- -(SP) pulse timer coil, -(SE) extended pulse timer coil, -(SD) on delay timer coil, -(SS) retentive on delay timer coil, -(SF) off delay timer coil. 1) S_PULSE(Pulse timer) :- S_PULSE Timer   Above Fig Shows how to use this timer in programming software,in this fig i have used 5 sec as a preset value, If you want to change it replace the 5 with any duration you want in S5T# 5 S.    In S_PULSE timer if input to timer is ON then timer starts Counting time as well as we get the Output at the instant the input is made ON. In t...

Bit Logic Instruction in Simatic manager

There are total 14 instructions under the bit logic instruction like NO contact, NC contact, SR flip-flop, RS flip-flop,invert power flow etc. lets see the detailed use of them.  A) Normally open contact :- Normally open contacts are closed when the bit value stored at the specific address is equal to 1 (one)(here the specific address refers to the address assigned to the NO contact), when we press the Normally open contact assigned to the specific address then it becomes functionally closed and we get supply. here in below fig. when we press the NO contact I0.0 then Output Q0.0 gets ON and when we release the input I0.0 then Output gets OFF. B)Normally Closed Contact :- Normally closed contacts are closed when the bit value stored at the specific add, i.e. the address assigned to the NC contact is equal to 0(zero). when we press the Normally closed contact assigned to the specific address then it becomes functionally open and supply is cuts off. NC contact wor...
