Creating a Ladder Logic Program
Chapter Objectives Chapter 5 provides information needed to create the PLC or SLC
Ladder Logic program that the controller will use to transmit control
I/O and messages to and from the product connected to the 1203-GK5
module or 1336-GM5 board. In this chapter, you will read about the
following:
• Equipment and software needed to create either a PLC or SLC
ladder logic program.
• Example PLC and SLC ladder logic programs to control the
drive.
This chapter assumes you are familiar with the hardware components
and programming procedures necessary to create a ladder logic
program for a PLC-5 or SLC-5/03
®
. It also assumes that you have
experience using RSLogix 5 or RSLogix500 to create ladder logic
programs.
You may need to refer to the documentation provided with your
controller or scanner to develop a ladder logic program.
Required Equipment Before creating a ladder logic program for the PLC or SLC, your
computer must be:
• Running RSLogix5 and RSLinx if using a PLC.
• Running RSLogix500 and RSLinx if using an SLC.
• Connected to and communicating with the PLC or SLC using a
network such as a DH+™, DH485, or ControlNet™. Your
computer needs a network card to connect to one of these
networks. For example, a 1784-KTX card is used to connect to a
DH+ network, and a 1784-KTC card is used to connect to a
ControlNet network.
About RSLogix RSLogix5 (for the PLC-5) and RSLogix500 (for the SLC-5/03)
software let you create ladder logic programs and download them to
the PLC or SLC. These applications also let you monitor the ladder
logic program as the PLC or SLC is using it.
