MAIN 222 Programming Devices
This guide delves into the fundamentals of programming with a focus on hand-held programmers and PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers). It highlights the essential features of cheap, portable devices and contrasts them with traditional, costly options like laptops and larger programming terminals. Learn about critical components such as power supplies, CPUs, and I/O cards. The guide also covers software tools like VersaPro for programming and hardware configuration, providing a comprehensive understanding of PLC systems. Ideal for those starting in programming or looking to enhance their knowledge.

Fundamentals of Programming • Programming Devices • Hand-Held Programmer • Cheap, easy, portable • Not-user friendly • Small screen • Programming Terminal • A PLC propriety specific • Heavy duty • Large display • Costly • Heavy • Laptop • Laptop with many PLC programs on it • Portable • Expensive • software/hardware issues good and bad
Ladder Logic Relay Logic • BUS BARS are the vertical bars Hot/Neutral • Relays are electromechanical switches • Coils • Contacts • Read top to bottom • Read left to right
PLC Components • Power Supplies • CPUs • Power Supplies • 5V • +/- 12 V • 120VAC • +/- 24V • Inputs • Outputs
GE Fanuc series 90 micro • Fixed I/O 8 in 6 output • “14 point input” • Serial Input • AC • DC • Common Point Ground
GE Fanuc Status Indicators • PWR • Lighted = power is good • Dark = power supply is bad • OK • Blinking = PLC is in self-diagnostics • Steady = PLC passed diagnostics • RUN • Lighted = Execution of Program is good • Blinking = • dsaf
VersaPro • Installation • New Folder Wizard • Existing Programs • Where the Program is saved • Work Space • Folder Browser • Ladder Editor • Function Toolbar • Variable Declaration Table
VersaPro • Toolbars and Tables • Standard Toolbar • Ladder Toolbar • 90-70 Toolbar • View Toolbar • Folder Toolbar • PLC Toolbar
VersaPro • Sharing Folders • Documents can be shared or Independent • New Folder Wizard • Existing Programs
VersaPro • HARDWARE CONFIGURATION • Allows setup of the PLC we are hooking up to. • PRIOR TO STARTING • TOOL • Options • Change language to 90-30 or series 90 micro
Summary • PLC have Hardware and Software • Input / output Cards • CPUs • Power Supplies • VERSAPRO • Ge Fanuc • Specific set up and folder share • Must start with address nature
