IDS 273 - Advanced PLC’s II


Shift Register Instructions		4	1	2
Bit Shift Left	Use a BSL instruction to load a bit of data into an array and monitor the bit as it shifts through the array.
Bit Shift Right	Use a BSR instruction to load a bit of data into an array and monitor the bit as it shifts through the array.
Sequencer Instructions		4	1	2
Sequencer Instructions	Set up a data array for a process and use an SQO to step through that operation.
Sequencer Compare	Use an SQC instruction to compare input data in a sequential process.
Sequencer Load	Use a SQL instruction to sequentially load data into a destination file.
Analog Controls and Applications		2	2	2
Analog Inputs	Understand the operation of various variable resistors and transducers and methods of connection to a PLC. Students will connect these devices to an analog card and observe the results in a program.
Analog Outputs	Understand various analog outputs and connect these to a PLC.
O-10v / 4-20mA signals	Understand the difference in analog voltage and current signal and their function in automation.
Advanced Math Instructions		2	2	2
Clear Instruction	Use a CLR instruction to set all bits of a word to zero.
Square Root Instruction	Calculate the square root of two values using a SQR instruction.
Scale with parameters	Produce a scaled output value that has a linear relationship between an analog input and scaled value using a SCP instruction.
Scale Data	Produce a scaled output value that has a linear relationship between an analog input and scaled value using a SCL instruction.
Block Transfers		4	2	2
Block Transfers	Program a MSG instruction to read/write information from one processor to another processor either peer-peer or networked.
Practical Analog Control with PID Instructions		4	2	2
Analog Hardware Set-up	Have the ability to properly set-up an Analog Input and Analog Output Card for the AB 1771 platform.
PID Instruction Programming	Discuss, program, and execute a PID instruction that will control a process.
Messaging Across PLC Networks		4	2	2
Data Highway	Be able to configure a Message instruction and transfer Data across a Data Highway + network to another PLC.
Ethernet	Be able to configure a Message instruction and transfer Data across an Ethernet network to another PLC.
Integrated Systems (Remote I/O)		8	2	2
Configuring Remote I/O Racks	Have ability to properly set-up a Remote rack to communicate with the local processor.
Configuring Remote I/O Racks Drives	Have the ability to properly set-up a Variable Speed Drive to communicate with the local processor through Remote I/O
Other I/O Devices	Understand generally what it takes to configure various other devices to communicate through Remote I/O.
Distributed Systems (Device Net)		8	2	2
Setting Up A DeviceNet Network	Have ability to properly set-up a DeviceNet Network from ground up.
Configuring A Scan List	Have ability to properly configure a Scan List and understand all of its components.
Downloading a Scan List	Have ability to properly download a Scan List to a SDN module.
Addressing I/O	Understand the relationship between the Scan List and the PLC Addresses.
Configuring Device Net Components	Have ability to properly configure various DeviceNet components with the use of RSNetworks For DeviceNet.
Programming an Integrated and Distributed I/O System		8	4	10
Programming Using Multiple I/O Platforms	Program a PLC system that includes a variety of different I/O types & Communication platforms.
Interrupt Routines		2	0	2
Selected Time Interrupts	Program an STI, and STS instructions to interrupt the scan cycle to allow transfer of information and resume the processor scan. Use the STE and STD instruction to enable or disable a timed interrupt for a portion of the scan.
Discreet Input Interrupts	Program a DII instruction to allow processor scan to halt and run a DII routine and resume its normal scan.
Fault Routine	Program a fault routine to control a certain sequence of events in the event of a processor faults. Program a fault routine that executes when a fault occurs.
