The Productivity Suite Software allows us to modify our existing program and execute the new code without stopping the scanning of the PLC. This is referred to as online programming or editing. We change the ladder logic code, and when we save it to the PLC, the current scan of the PLC is held until the new code is written into the unit. It then releases the scan, and our new program starts to execute. This happens in milliseconds, so our process can continue to operate.
We will be taking our existing Start / Stop circuit from last time and adding a Jog input using online programming. Changing the program online is a standard method of programming. The documentation will also be changed during this online program change. Let’s get started.
