Philip W's Simple Sequencer
By Guest
The classic sequencer so frequently used in machine control is really just a
subset of a more generalised concept called "state logic". Fancy sounding

MicroLogix 1500 ASCII Input example
By Ken Roach
The ASCII instructions in the SLC/MicroLogix can be hard to use even if you are accustomed to other complex A-B instructions. They operate asynchronously to the CPU and work in a queue and have to be managed more carefully than message instructions.

SLC to a Mettler Toledo BBK Scale RS-232 (thru Devicenet)
By Chris Elston
Here is a sample program that talkes to a Mettler Toledo BBK scale using a Point I/O RS232 ASC module on device net. Way powerful module!
To query the scale you need to send an ASCII command:
S<CR><LF>
This is the capital "S" a carriage return then a line feed.
In the Allen Bradley SLC PLC you'll need to send special characters.
ST18:10 (see PDF file data_file.pdf page 25)
string value to printer from PLC
S^M^J
^M in Allen Bradley means = carriage return
^J in Allen Bradley means = line feed
Next you have to parse the data the scale just returned to you.
Starting at Rung 5 in the PDF read the string from the scale (through devicenet) and begin to parse out the "data".
The scale sends the PLC a string like this:
^S^JS S 0.000 lb
See ST18:0 in the data_file.pdf.
Begin to count characters to the data you need weight in the case. Then "extract" the portion of the string into another ST18:1 register.
You'll notice that the data has a decimal point in the string. Allen Bradley doesn't support "string to real" function so you'll need to extract the whole number then extract the decimal point value into two separate strings. Once you do that you can do a string to integer conversion. Once it's an integer format both the whole number and decimal place you can add the two values back together like it was before as a real type format or floating point using ladder logic to do the math.

LONG DURATION PRECISION TIMER.pdf
By TConnolly
From time to time a long time base precision timer may be required. The SLC .01 second timebase timer is good for only 327 seconds. Cascading a timer and a counter together is undesirable as it will introduce a cumulative error into the time because of differences between when the time period
actually expires and when the timer is next scanned.
By running two timers in parallel we can maintain an accurate time reference from which to compute a floating point time with .01 second precision up to 32767 seconds. The first timer has a one second time base and it is the primary timer. The second timer has a .01 second time base and it is
used solely to compute the fractional seconds. By using a comparison to subtract one second from the .01 second time base ACC when ever it exceeds a full second we can maintain an accurate time independent of the processor scan time so long as the rung is evaluated more than once a
second.

Ethernet Link Status
By Ken Roach
A Message instruction can be used to check the Ethernet link status of a 1756-ENBT or other ControlLogix family Ethernet module port to determine if there is a good Ethernet link.
This example shows how to send a CIP Generic Message to Class 0xF6 Instance 1 Attribute 2.
The applicable page from the EtherNet/IP Specification (www.odva.org) is included in the ZIP file. The program file was greated with RSLogix 5000 v15.

Conveyor FIFO (first in first out) w/Reject
By Chris Elston
Classic example of a FIFO (First in First Out) Load and Unload.
Application was bottles coming down a conveyor system at a "variable" rate and sporadic. Sometime 10 bottles would be grouped together all in single file others they would be spaced out oneisy twoisy.
A photoeye was used in a vision cell up stream this photo triggered the vision system and loaded the FIFO at the same time.
A photoeye was placed downstream next to an air blow off nozzle. This created a "zone" at which you could load and unload the FIFO and keep track of bad bottle in-between your zone. Bottle QTY could vary between the vision photoeye and reject photoeye.
The vision system was triggered and part status was loaded into N7:0. A 1 means good part a 2 means bad part. The 1 or a 2 was loaded into a FIFO and placed into N7:1 at the reject air station. If the FIFO status equals 1 at reject it was allowed to pass if equal to 2 the air nozzle was turned on under a timed blow off.
This was a field installed retrofit project that involved a 10 point Micrologix 1000 that cost $72.00 4 Keyence Vision systems and 2 Banner EZ-Beam photoeyes. Cake work.
