Originally, there were only a few functions available in this language, but as times have progressed, many more higher-level functions have been introduced. We are going to stick to the basic, commonly used functions here. Also, this text will not replace the user's manual that comes with a PLC, but it will give you a big head start if you have never programmed a PLC.
This course is intended to provide an introduction to the programming methods used in PLCs and give the reader a solid, basic understanding of the language of Ladder Logic. After you complete this course, you may be interested in learning about hardware-specific software and programming techniques. Ladder Logic I have summarized the terms and techniques you need to know if you are going to work with ladder logic.
It is not a comprehensive summary, as that would take volumes of text, but if you are just starting out, the information in this book will be very helpful. Every PLC programmer, no matter what skill level, must have learned the principles described in this book at one point in time. There is simply no way around it. I have included a program for a simple machine that lets you really understand how Ladder Logic works. To effectively write a program, or even edit one, the programmer must know how to visualize the effects of the changes he will make.
This course will teach you how to do that. After you read and understand this, you will have a clear understanding of the structure of this type of programming. In the real world of industrial automation, the methods presented in this document may be all that many people will ever need to know. It can be an input, output or internal coil, among others. The internal coil has no connection to the outside world. It does not connect to an output card. Internal coils are used to store information.
An internal coil is labeled COIL in our example. When used with a hardwired input, this instruction is "true" until there is a voltage applied to the input. If it is used as an internal coil, it will toggle the instructions associated with it. That is, it will close a normally open instruction and open a normally closed instruction. It requires the use of its "timer finished" bit, like a time delay relay uses its contact. It could be used to keep track of machine cycles, count parts, etc.
It can be programmed with a preset value that triggers another event when the count is reached. If you press a pushbutton switch that is wired to an input, then the bit is said to be true. Also, if the logic in a rung turns on the output of the rung, then the rung is said to be true. For example, if you wanted to turn on a light with a momentary pushbutton, you would wire it like the circuit below. When you press PB1, the pilot light PL1 lights up. Now let's do the same thing in a PLC.
Each PLC manufacturer gives you the details of wiring their particular modules. Therefore, the PL1 output is off. It will stay on only as long as you hold the button in. Just like electrical current has to flow through the switch to turn on the light in the hardwired circuit, the logic has to "flow" through the normally open instruction which is closed when you press the switch of INPUT1 to energize the output that turns on PL1.
The programming terminal display will look something like this as you hold in PB1. Suppose you want to delay running a motor for 2 seconds after you turn on a switch. You can use the input from the switch to run a timer. Program the timer for the duration you want and then use the "timer finished" bit to turn on your motor. In this instance, we have configured an "on delay" timing sequence.

As a rule, a function unit is made up of mechanical and electrical basic elements. In programming, a state diagram is assigned to every function unit. In it, the functional, that is, the mechanical and electrical properties of the function unit are mapped.
State Diagram The state diagram describes the dynamic behaviour of a function unit. It describes the states that a function unit can have, as well as the state transitions. State diagrams can be used more than once. State diagrams that were created once for a specific function unit, can be reused in other progam locations.
Diagram Groups By combining parallel running state diagrams, you can describe the complete and Instances functionality of a machine or system. With S7-SCL, you can formulate time-saving and economical solutions for automation tasks. In this graphic programming method, blocks are positioned in a type of drawing sheet and are graphically interconnected with one another.
You can quickly and easily convert technological aspects into complete executable automation programs with CFC. CFC is easy to use, easy to learn and provides consistent data management.
Prerequisite is a previously installed SCL option package. Diagnosis is usually initiated when a fault leads to standstill or malfunction of the plant or machine. Programmable logic controllers are widely used in many areas. The distribution of fault occurrences makes it meaningful for the diagnosis to focus on process faults, since missing messages or faulty functions lead to down-times and the resulting costs.
Process diagnosis diagnoses exactly these external components such as sensors and actuators or sequences in the process of a plant or machine. You can already define signal monitoring routines including first-up signal acquisition and criteria analysis and input the associated message texts while or after creating the user program in the LAD, FBD or STL programming languages.
PDIAG automatically generates monitoring blocks which you must call in your user program. At every call, the fault conditions are checked and in case of an error, the relevant process values are acquired and sent to the display device for the criteria analysis. If the simulation is turned on, every new connection is automatically made to the simulated PLC.
If the simulation is turned off, then every new connection is made to the "real" PLC. You can modify and display all the data in these view objects. The simulation also provides a "Pause" function that allows you to halt the program execution without affecting the state of the program. The quality of the user programs is greatly improved and the commissioning costs are lowered. Standard This additional package contains blocks and a parameter assignment tool with PID Control integrated control setting for standard tasks such as temperature controllers, flow rate regulators, pressure regulators etc.
Modular Through the interconnection of supplied standard function blocks, you can PID Control implement just about every closed-loop control engineering structure, even in the upper performance range of process engineering. The package contains 27 FBs and a commissioning tool. Fuzzy Control Fuzzy Systems are used when the mathematic description of a process difficult or even impossible, when a process behaviour is not consistent, when non- linearities occur, but, on the other hand, experience with the process exists.
The central editor for configuring hardware and networks You can configure an entire plant using a single graphical editor.
