How to program the terminal 20
Databuffer 5 Databuffer MAC 12/MTA-12 This function means that an area of the battery memory is used as an extra memory bank for the PLC system. The PLC program determines what is to be read/written as well as when/where it is to be done. The size of the memory bank is configured in the terminal. The available buffer area depends on how much project memory is used (maximum project memory is 8000 bytes).
Databuffer 5.2 Data control block in the PLC system The data control block consists of 4 registers: Register Description Dn0 Command register. Dn1 Start index in the memory bank to read from/write to. Dn2 Number of registers to read/write. Dn3 Start register in the PLC system to read from/write to. (e.g. if 100 is stated in this register, reading/writing will begin in register D100).
"Joystick" function 6 "Joystick" function MAC 12/MTA-12 With this function it is possible to use the arrow keys as function keys. On the command line under System signals you enter the command AK and an address. For example you can enter AKM100 (the command AK and memory cell M100). Then M100 is the enable signal and the following 4 memory cells are as according to the following control block. Memory cell Description Mn0 Enable. Arrow key detection. Disable=normal function.
"Joystick" function 6.1 Example The following exampel can be used to exit the joystick function and return to normal function. Make the following steps. – create a block with 1:st man obj defined. – enter the static text "JOYSTICK". – create a digital object with the following settings: D.
Programming example 7 Programming example When planning an application there are a number of things to take into consideration. For instance, which blocks should you use and how do you change blocks? We will now try to answer some questions that may arise. 7.1 Structuring textblocks according to application Signals linked to the same object are normally shown together. Suppose we have an application involving 3 motors.
Programming example Block changing controlled by the PLC program When selecting a textblock, define the digital signal that, when activated, displays the text block. In this example we define that text block 5 is displayed when signal X0 is activated. Returning to the previous block used We are in block 20 and want to jump back to the previous block (10, 11 or 12) we were using. Block 10 Disp. sign. M200 Block 11 Block 12 Disp. sign. M201 Disp. sign.
Programming example M200-M202 are the display signals for blocks 10-12. In block 20 we make a digital object: To move to block 20 we make jump objects in blocks 10-12.
Programming example When M300 is activated we compare D1 with K10-K12 to know which block to jump back to.
Programming example 7.3 Setting date and time To set the right date and time in Run mode, you have to create a manoeuvrable date/time object in a block. If you only want to change the date or time you must create 2 object to avoid problems with the cursor in Runtime mode - one with date only and one with time only. If you want to show a weekday as well, you have to create a third block with the day of the week only. You can never change a weekday, this is automatically calculated from the date entered.
Programming example 7.4 Control by time Use a time channel to control a signal. Note! If the digital signal linked to the time channel exists in the program as an OUT instruction, the PLC program takes command. If this condition is not valid then the signal remains inactive. Changing time channel intervals on-line To make it possible to change time channel intervals during Run mode, you must select YES for time channels under Online changes in Set-up mode.
Programming example By typing in YES for Man 000:, Man 001:, and Man 010: it is possible to force these statuses. A NO for Man 110 means that you cannot force this status. Status D.Obj 1 D.Obj 2 D.Obj 3 Text 000 Emptying 0 0 0 Text 001 Filling 0 0 1 Text 010 Rotate 0 1 0 Text 011 0 1 1 Text 100 1 0 0 Text 101 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 Text 110 Heating Text 111 7.6 Selection list In this example we want to check the status of a certain pump.
Programming example 7.7 Dynamic text blocks By setting the status Remove not used signals for a textblock the same textblock can be used for different but similar applications. For example, a project can consist of 10 lines for setting preset values, 0-10, but in the PLC program only presets 2-5 are used. If the status Remove not used signals is set, only those lines with selected presets will be displayed, that is, 2-5. 7.
