Chapter 13, Problem 30RQ
Program Plan Intro
Programmable Logic Controller (PLC):
- Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is a specialized computer used in industrial segments to control machines and process.
- PLC is program that consists of a set of instructions which resembles the controlling functions needed to perform specific tasks.
- The function of PLC is similar to that of a relay and hence, in an industrial segment a relay is greatly replaced by a suitable PLC.
- When compared to general Personal Computer (PC), a PLC is available in small and tiny sizes.
- The basic architecture of a PLC consists of an input-output interface module and a small Central Processing Unit (CPU) that runs by controlling
programming language.
RSLogix software:
- Most of the PLCs programming packages operate on windows based
operating system . - RSLogix software is one of the best examples for windows based programming software.
- The main benefit of using this software is that it is available in different versions.
- It can also be used to develop and monitor ladder logic programs such as PLC-5, SLC 500, ControlLogix and MicroLogic family processors.
- Moreover, this software is also compatible to DOS based programming packages.
RSLinx software:
- RSLinx refers to a windows based communication software package.
- It was developed by Rockwell.
- It is used to download a program from PC to PLC, upload a program from PLC to PC, and to monitor PLC activity.
- In order to meet the demand for cost and functionally requirements, RSLinx software is available in multiple packages.
- It works almost similar to a printer driver for RSLogix software.
