Ladder Logic Programming
Chapter Objectives
Chapter 6 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 SCANport product. In this chapter,
you will read about the following:
•
Equipment and software needed to create either a PLC or SLC
ladder logic program.
•
PLC and SLC ladder logic programs.
•
Creating 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 operate DeviceNet and
SCANport devices, including the following:
•
PLC-5 or SLC-5/03.
•
1771-SDN or 1747-SDN scanner.
•
Ladder programming.
•
RSLogix5 or RSLogix500.
You may need to refer to the documentation associated with these
products to create a ladder logic program.
Required Equipment
Before creating a ladder logic program for the PLC or SLC, your PC
must be:
•
Running RSLogix5 and RSLinx if using a PLC. Refer to
http://www.software.rockwell.com for more information on these
products.
•
Running RSLogix500 and RSLinx if using an SLC. Refer to
http://www.software.rockwell.com for more information on these
products.
•
Connected to and communicating with the controller.
What is RSLogix?
RSLogix5 (for the PLC-5) and RSLogix500 (for the SLC-5/03)
software let you create the ladder logic programs you need and
download them to the PLC or SLC. They also let you monitor the
program as the PLC or SLC is using it.
