Preface
About This Publication
This publication is designed to provide quickstart instructions for using global
variables of the Micro800® family of programmable logic controllers (PLC)
together with PanelView™ Plus HMI terminals. It makes use of sample programs
to illustrate the basic steps that a user needs to perform to use those global
variables.
To assist in the design and installation of your system, see the list of user manuals
for the Micro800 family of programmable controllers under Additional
Resources.
The beginning of each chapter contains the following information. Read these
sections carefully before beginning work in each chapter.
•
Before You Begin
– This section lists the steps that must be completed
and decisions that must be made before starting that chapter. The chapters
in this quick start do not have to be completed in the order in which they
appear, but this section defines the minimum amount of preparation
required before completing the current chapter.
•
What You Need
– This section lists the tools that are required to
complete the steps in the current chapter. This includes, but is not limited
to, hardware and software.
•
Follow These Steps
– This illustrates the steps in the current chapter and
identifies which steps are required to complete the examples using specific
networks.
Audience
To be able to use the Micro800 controller global variables with PanelView Plus
terminals, you need to be familiar with creating and using controller variables and
HMI applications.
This quick start works hand-in-hand with the user manuals of the Micro800
family of programmable controllers. These publications are listed under
Additional Resources.
Required Software
To complete this quick start, the following software is required:
•
Connected Components Workbench version 7.0 or later
Connected Components Workbench™ is the main programming software
for Micro800 systems. It provides a choice of IEC 61131-3 programming
languages (ladder diagram, function block diagram, structured text) with
user defined function block support that optimizes machine control.
Connected Components Workbench software offers controller
programming, device configuration, and integration with HMI editor to
make programming your standalone machine more simple.
