Note: The ladder logic for this application was developed on a
PLC 5/15. You can use the ladder logic on any PLC controller that is
compatible with the PLC 5/15.
This tutorial is based on the following scenario.
You have an existing application, created with PanelBuilder 1200,
that runs a paper copying process. The machine controlled by this
application is a lower-end model and doesn’t have a stapling feature.
Now you’ve decided to purchase a new machine that supports
stapling. To use this feature, you must add the required controls to
your existing PanelBuilder 1200 application. As well, you realize
that your existing application is not as well-designed as it could be.
You want to fine-tune it to make it easier to use, and to improve the
appearance of the application with more colors and better graphics.
To do these tasks quickly and efficiently, you’ve purchased
PanelBuilder 1400e Configuration Software for Windows.
This chapter of the tutorial guides you through the existing
application, the application screens, and the objects each screen
contains. It explains how the objects enable you to control and
monitor the copying process.
It also outlines the objects you will add.
To do this tutorial, you must have PanelBuilder 1400e and the
tutorial files installed.
To start PanelBuilder from Windows NT or Windows 95:
1. Choose the Start button.
2. Choose Programs, then choose the PanelBuilder 1400e folder.
3. Choose PanelBuilder 1400e.
The PanelBuilder 1400e Window appears on your screen. You are
ready to begin working in PanelBuilder.
To start PanelBuilder from Windows 3.1 or later:
" Double-click the PanelBuilder 1400e icon.
The PanelBuilder 1400e Window appears on your screen. You are
ready to begin working in PanelBuilder.
