MicroLogix 1500 Example Ladder Programs

An example of data table values are shown below:

A value of “200” for the Reference equates to 20.0 Hz. A value of “100”
for drive Parameter 78 - [Jog Frequency] equates to 10.0 Hz.

Since CH2 and CH3 ladder routines are similar to the CH1 routine, they
are not provided.

The ladder example provided in this section is based on a 1769-SM2
module in slot 1 with five PowerFlex 4/40 drives connected to CH1 and
to CH2, and one PowerFlex 70 connected to CH3 (

Figure 6.4

). The

ladder example demonstrates the following functionality for each
channel’s drives:

Send a Logic Command to control the drive (for example, start, stop).

Send a Reference to the drive and receive Feedback from the drive.

Receive Logic Status information from the drive.

Write and read parameters.

Explicit messaging (parameter read/write) capability varies between the
RSLogix software packages and controllers:

Versions of RSLogix 500 before v6.30 do NOT support creating a
Message instruction for the 1769-SM2 module. This limits the
MicroLogix 1500 to performing I/O messaging (Logic Command/
Reference, and Logic Status/Feedback) only.

RSLogix 500 v6.30 (or higher) must be used with a MicroLogix
1500 LRP Series C (or newer) controller to create Message
instructions to send explicit messages to the 1769-SM2 module.
