Getting Started
Loading the individual PLC channels first
As with the contactors, the PLC Manager also enables you to load the inputs and outputs
(side elements) before the PLC main module is loaded. The PLC Manager manages a
virtual PLC main module (a 'map' of the PLC inputs and outputs).
First load a digital PLC output with the 'Symbol Explorer' and place it on the
coordinates 235.0 / 110.0 mm with a single mouse click. This opens the database
selection window. Select the extension module 'Digital Output SM 322-1BH00
16x24V DC' and confirm with 'OK'.
Now enter the function text '!Table control' and position it where ever you like. Abort
the 'Symbol Parameters' menu and assign the current connection to channel 'A0.0'.
Enter as PLC-Text 'Motor Worm on' and exit the 'Symbol Explorer'.
Hint
64
Obviously we would not need an Input and an Output module for
our small example. This serves only to demonstrate the functions
of the PLC manager.
You may have realized that there is no cross-reference at this time. However, as we have
not yet loaded the PLC main module, cross-referencing is not yet possible.
Now we have to load two digital outputs for the control of the valves -Q1 and –Q2. Place
them on the coordinates 95.0 / 110.0 mm and 130.0 / 110.0 mm but at this time
with a double click with the left mouse button.
This allows you to skip the database selection dialog (which is not needed here) and to
make the channel allocation directly. (If you do accidentally activate the database,
simply exit it and this will take you to the assignment menu). Assign the outputs for –Q1
or –Q2 to the digital output 'Digital Output SM 322-1BH00 16x24V DC' (Function
text: '!Table control'). Enter the PLC text for both valves -Q1 and -Q2 as: 'Table up'
and 'Table down’.
Tip
A double click when loading the PLC main module takes you directly
to the assignment of this symbol to a PLC module the PLC manager
is already controlling. The rule is: every selection in the database
menu creates a new PLC module in the 'PLC selection', so whenever
you double click or quit out of the database selection window, the
assignment menu will always appear. You can still delete any
symbol with the 'Delete' command.
The database dialog is not necessary because we have already set the parameters by
inserting the individual PLC connection. Now you only need to assign the symbol to a
PLC module controlled by the 'PLC selection'. Main modules which have not yet been
assigned are marked with a '*'. These are 'virtual' PLC modules.
Position the Output Unit
Now go back to page 3 and load the symbol 'Digital Output SM 322-1BH00 16x24V
DC' from the library 'EXAMPLE'. Position the symbol with a double click at 195.0 /
147.5 mm. The 'PLC selection' dialog opens up again.
