Chapter 1
Understanding How a DDMC32 System Works
1-11
All PLC-5 processors can still be programmed with familiar ladder logic in
addition to using the diagnostic instructions. In DDMC32, PLC-5
processors utilize the instructions that can automatically detect machine
faults and abnormal conditions. Using 6200 Series software, you can
program PLC-5 processors with industrial computers, the plant floor
terminals, or any IBM AT–compatible computer.
If you want to know more about the PLC-5 processor, refer to PLC-5
Family Programmable Controllers Installation Manual (publication
1785-10.4) or the Pyramid Integrator Design Manual (publication
5000-6.2.1).
1771 I/O
With DDMC32 you can select from more than 80 types of I/O modules to
create a configuration perfect for your manufacturing needs. I/O modules
can be discrete, analog, or intelligent. Refer to the Automation Systems
Product Catalog.
6180 Industrial Computer
The 6180 Industrial Computer provides an industrially hardened,
expandable hardware platform. This computer is versatile and modular,
and lets you design a configuration suitable for your individual application.
The 6180 computer is the common operator interface for your DDMC32
system.
You can use the 6180 computer to:
develop ladder logic rungs and SDS instructions using 6200 Series
Software and the SDS Configuration Utility
display diagnostic messages using Monitoring Software
define graphic displays of your equipment that can be used to monitor
the operation
For more information about the 6180 Industrial Computer, refer to the
6180 Industrial computer brochure (publication 6180-1.0).
