Controller Basics- Programmable Controller

A set of coded instructions that enables a machine to perform a desired sequence of operations. To provide (a machine) with a set of coded working instructions. To train to perform automatically in a desired way.

To prepare an instructional sequence

- I/O (Inputs / Outputs)Input and Output communication between a controller and its "peripherals".

- Program (RLL)Relay Ladder Logic. Similar to a one line electric diagram.

- Operator InterfaceA device to let an operator monitor and adjust parameters on a machine or process through the controller.

- NetworkingInterconnecting Controllers, Operator Interfaces and I/O to allow them all to communicate as one system.


Controller Basics Bit is One Decimal Place (Digital)

Either On or Off (1 or 0)

A Byte is 8 Bits +127 to -128

Word is 2 Bytes or 16 Bits +32767 to -32768 ex. 00000000 00100101 = +37

Cscape Setup


Cscape Communication Options

- Serial - PC w/ Serial Port

- USB to RS232 converter (HE500USB600)

- Ethernet (Optional on Most Units)

- PCI or ISA

- USB to CAN Interface (K-CAN)

- USB (Currently only on the XL6)


Communication Setup


Communication Setup (Serial)

Up to 255 Com Ports

available.


Communication Setup (Ethernet)

3 different modes of

Ethernet:

GPRS – Cellular

NX/QX – Embedded

XL Series – Optional


Communication Setup (CAN)

3 different CAN

Interfaces:

CGM500 – ISA

ESD – PCI

K CAN – USB or PCI


Communication Setup (Modem)

Configures Internal

Modem and Phone

Number

New in Cscape 8.6


Editor Options

View Properties DialogAuto-SaveDeselect ElementOpen Last FileExport Setpoint DataAggressive DebugUse Classic CscapeUse Abbreviated Part Numbers


Editor OptionsView “Properties Dialog” after Snap-in of Element

When checked, the programmer will need to assign addresses to the element after placement. The Properties Dialog box will automatically open.


Editor Options

Auto-saveWhen checked, this option will automatically save the program at that moment in time.

Caution that this feature will not prompt the programmer that an Auto-save is about to take place so take care and archive programs.

Return to Editor Options


Editor Options

De-select element after placementIf checked. After an element is placed on the screen, the arrow pointer will appear.

If unchecked, the element will remain active until the arrow is selected from the Tool Bar or ESC is pressed.



Editor Options

Open last file on startupIf checked, Cscape will open the last saved file when Cscape is opened the next time.



Editor Options

Export Setpoint Data



Editor Options

Use Aggressive Debug Screen Updates

When checked, this option will update your PC’s video card more often than when it is not checked. On some PC’s if not checked, Debug may not indicate the true state of some elements.



Editor Options

Use Classic Cscape Mode

When checked, Cscape will have the same look and feel as pre-version 8.5.



Editor Options

Use Abbreviated Part Numbers

The US and European Offices have different part numbering structure for the same components. When checked, it will display the US part numbers in areas where part numbers are referenced.


Editor Options - Ladder

Multiple Output Coils

Function Blocks

Variable Display

Advanced IEC 61131


Editor Options - LadderMultiple Output Coils

Allow – Allows programmer to reference the same output coil multiple times without generating an error. Warning – Allows programmer to reference the same output coil multiple times but will generate an error when error checking is performed and when a download is performed. Warning will still allow the programmer to download the program.Error – Will generate an error when error checking is performed and when a download is attempted but will not allow a download.

Return to Ladder Editor Options


Editor Options - LadderFunction Blocks

When checked, allows programmer to branch around functions with a contact.

An error will be generated at the time of a download if this is not checked and a branch around a function is performed.



Editor Options - LadderVariable Display

Name and Address will display both the I/O name assigned to the variable, if assigned, and the address of the variable in Cscape.

Address Only will display only the address of the variable in Cscape.



Editor Options - LadderAdvanced IEC 61131 Languages

This should be left as “Only Execute Advanced Ladder”


Editor Options - Numbering

2 options for laddering numbering:

Line Numbers – Black Numbers

Rung Numbers – Shown in red after

a rung is created.

Line numbers count all spaces and

comments where the rung number

only increases when a rung is created.


Editor Options - Colors

This sets the background color of Cscape.

Take caution when using the following

colors:

Red – Debug is red so debug is difficult

to view.

Black – Rungs are black so impossible

to see rungs.

White – Grid lines are white so grid

lines are not viewable.


Connecting to a Controller

Connect button is used to go online with the controller and offline with the controller when connecting serially to a controller. Pre-version 8.6, the software would capture the configured port when Cscape was opened.


Connecting to a Controller

Local indicates the controller ID that the software is directly connected.

Target indicates the ID that the software is attempting to communicate with.

It is possible to have a Local and Target that are different.


Connecting to a ControllerThings to verify if Cscape is not communicating with the controller:

- Verify the state of the Local ID. If the local contains ???, then the software is not communicating to the controller.

- Verify that another software package is using the port.- Verify that the unit is powered up.- Verify that the connected unit is not using the programming port for another function. If this is the case, then putting the controller into Stop or IDLE mode through the System Menu will open the port for Cscape communication.

- If the Local indicates No Port- Verify that the configured port is an actual port on the PC. This can be done through the control panel of the PC.- Verify that the programming cable is plugged into the PC and the controller.

- The following is trouble shooting for pass through CsCAN communication. If the Local Indicates a valid number (1 – 253), then verify the Target ID is correct. The state of the Target will be in parenthesis after the Target number. If this indicates anything other R, I, D, then verify the cabling, baud rate, and the setting of the Target node ID.
