Introduction

• ML200R supports the following IEC (International Electro-technical Commission) 61131-3 Programming Languages:

– Ladder Diagram (LD)

• Graphical language based on ladder logic – Sequential Function Chart (SFC)

• Logic is implemented in the form of steps (actions) and transitions (conditions)

– Structured Text (ST) – Instruction List (IL)

Ladder Diagram

• An IEC 61131-3 Standard Programming Language

• Used to create logic for relay, timer and counter operations

• User-friendly graphical editor for creating ladder diagrams

Ladder Diagram Components

• Bus Line

– A ‘Bus Line’ is a power line vertically placed on both sides of a ladder diagram

– Every ladder diagram must contain bus lines – Two types

• Left Bus Line

– Value is always 1

• Right Bus Line – Value is not fixed

Ladder Diagram Components

• Link

– Horizontal Link

• Used to connect components horizontally

• Transmits the signal from the left side to the right side – Vertical Link

• Used to connect components vertically

• Performs a logical OR function of two horizontal links which are connected using a vertical link

• Contact

– A contact operates like an electric switch and transmits a signal over a horizontal link – Two types

• Normally Open (NO) • Normally Closed (NC)

• Coil

– Stores the value of the signal on the left side of a horizontal link – Acts like an output device

– Two types • Momentary

– When the left side horizontal link is ON, the coil stores ON momentarily

• Latched

– When the left side horizontal link is ON, the coil stores ON until reseted by a reset coil

Ladder Diagram Components

• Functions and Function Blocks

– Operations like swap, select, type convert, etc. are pre-defined and available as directly usable functions

– Pre-defined function blocks are provided for counting and timing operations – Users can create custom functions / function blocks based on requirements

Note: Refer reference section in the course for more information on Function Blocks

Sequential Function Chart (SFC)

• An IEC 61131-3 Standard Programming Language

• Suitable for batch applications

• Used to control the execution sequence of other programs like LD, IL etc.

Action

Honeywell

Sequential Control Chart - Components

• Step

– When a step is active, the actions connected to it get executed – One step can have a maximum of 2 actions

– A step without action is considered a ‘waiting’ step

• Transition

– Conditional expression between two steps

– Transition condition is in the form of a Ladder Diagram or Instruction List – The result of a transition condition must always be in BOOL (Boolean) form – In the example shown below, step S2 is executed when TRANS coil

becomes active (1)

• TRANS is an internally declared variable TRAN1

Sequential Control Chart - Components

• Action

– Action takes the form of PLC language: Ladder Diagram, Instruction List etc. – Action qualifiers are used to control the Action

– In the example shown below, when S1 is activated: – Action 1 gets executed

– Action 2 gets executed even if S1 is inactivated

• It stops the execution only when an action with an R qualifier is executed Action1 Action2 Action qualifiers N: Not Stored S: Stored

Sequential Control Chart - Action Qualifiers

• Every action is associated with an ‘Action’ qualifier

• Action qualifiers:

– Decide the starting point to execute the action – Decide the time at which the action is executed

• SFC consists of the following action qualifiers: – N (Not stored) – S (Set) – R (Reset) – L (Time limited) – D (Time delayed) – P (Pulse)

– SD (Stored and Time delayed) – DS (Delayed and Stored) – SL (Stored and Time limited)

Structured Text (ST)

• An IEC 61131-3 Standard Programming Language

• Reduces engineering and is easy to understand

• Generally used for creating user-defined functions/function blocks

• Compatible with other IEC languages

Instruction List (IL)

• An IEC 61131-3 Standard Programming Language

• A mnemonic programming language

• View-only mode

– Programs written in LD can be viewed in IL
