- 7. BOOLEAN Some PLC manufacturersuse Boolean language, also called Boolean mnemonics, to program a controller. 7
- 8. GRAFCET •Grafcet (Graphe Fonctionnelde Commande Étape Transition) is a symbolic, graphic language, which originated in France, that represents the control program as steps or stages in the machine or process. •In fact, the English translation of Grafcet means “step transition function charts.” •As the IEC 1131 standard’s sequential function charts (SFCs), which allow several PLC languages to be used in one control program. 8

- 11. LADDER DIAGRAM FORMAT •Aladder rung is TRUE when it has logic continuity. •Logic continuity exists when power flows through the rung from left to right. •The execution of logic events that enable the output provide this continuity. 11

- 15. A functional blockinstruction that is always enabled To make a block active at all times without any driving logic, the user can omit all contact logic and place a continuity line in the block during programming 15
- 16. The ladder rungmatrix •It determines the maximum number of ladder contact elements that can be used to program a rung. •The size of this matrix differs among both PLC manufacturers and the programming devices used 16

- 18. •One rule, whichis present in almost all PLCs, prevents reverse (i.e., right-to-left) power flow in a ladder rung. •PLC logic does not allow reverse power to avoid sneak paths. •Sneak paths occur when power flows in a reverse direction through an undesired field device, thus completing a continuity path. •If a PLC’s logic requires reverse power flow, the user must reprogram the rung with forward power flow to all contact elements. 18

- 56. INTRODUCTION TO THEIEC 1131 The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) SC65B-WG7 committee developed the IEC 1131 standard in an effort to standardize programmable controllers. One of the committee’s objectives was to create a common set of PLC instructions that could be used in all PLCs. 56
- 57. It defines twographical languages and two text-based languages for use in PLC programming. The graphical languages use symbols to program control instructions, while the text-based languages use character strings to program instructions. Graphical languages • ladder diagrams (LD) • function block diagram (FBD) Text-based languages • instruction list (IL) • structured text (ST) 57

- 61. •Ladder diagram language(LD) uses a standardized set of ladder programming symbols to implement control functions. •Instruction list (IL) is a low-level language similar to the machine or assembly language used with microprocessors. This type of language is useful for small applications, as well as applications that require speed optimization of the program or a specific routine in the program. 61
- 62.
- 63. •Structured text (ST)is a high-level language that allows structured programming, meaning that many complex tasks can be broken down into smaller ones. ST resembles a BASIC- or PASCAL-type computer language. Structured text programming is particularly suited to applications involving data handling, computational sorting, and intensive mathematical applications utilizing floating-point values. ST is also the best language for implementing artificial intelligence (AI) computations, fuzzy logic, and decision making. 63

- 65. SEQUENTIAL FUNCTION CHARTS(SFC) Sequential functional chart, or SFC, is a graphical “language” that provides a diagrammatic representation of control sequences in a program. Basically, sequential function chart is a flowchart- like framework that can organize the subprograms or subroutines (programmed in LD, FBD, IL, and/or ST) that form the control program. 65
- 66. The SFC programmingframework contains three main elements that organize the control program: • steps A step is a stage in the control process. • transitions After the PLC executes a step/action, it must receive a transition before it will proceed to the next step. • actions Each step may or may not have an action associated with it. An action is a set of control instructions prompting the PLC to execute a certain control function during that step. 66

TYPES OF I/OBUS NETWORKS I/O bus networks can be separated into two different categories—one that deals with low-level devices that are typical of discrete manufacturing operations and another that handles high-level devices found in process industries. These bus network categories are: • device bus networks • process bus networks 80
