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. Detailed information can be found on our website.

The Productivity Suite Software allows us to use tags in the PLC. Tags are a method for assigning and referencing memory locations (numbering systems) within the programmable logic controller. They allow a more structured programming approach and are stored within a tag database. The tag database is stored in the memory of the Productivity Series of PLCs from Automation Direct. Do not overthink tags. Tags are just names that we assign to variables of any data type stored in the PLC memory. We will now look at the tag numbering systems and database used with the Productivity 2000 controller. Let’s get started. Detailed information can be found on our website.

Math instructions perform mathematical calculations. The Productivity 2000 Series PLC has math instructions that you can use in various applications. We will look at the Data Statistics (DATA) and the Math Editor (MATH). We will demonstrate both of these instructions using the examples in the help file. An average wind speed will be calculated using the data instruction based on six different inputs. Converting Celsius to Fahrenheit degrees will be done with the math instruction for an oven temperature. The automation system that you implement may involve these instructions. You will require using these instructions in your commissioned programs as a system integrator. Let’s get started with the Productivity 2000 Series PLC Math Instructions.

Most programmable logic controller (PLC) programs will include a counter instruction. The Productivity 2000 Series PLC has two different counter instructions for your program. These can be used in several different ways to adapt to your application. Basically, counters are used to count up or down to a specific limit. When the limit is reached, the output is turned on. Counters can be made from a few different instructions from the PLC. The math instruction uses the one-shot (leading edge) input to add 1 to an internal register to keep track of the counter's value. A comparison is used to compare this counter value to a set value (SV). The output is turned on if it is greater than or equal. Another input is used for the reset of the counter value. Copy is used to move the reset value into the counter value. This reset will usually override the counting application. Breaking down the counter's essential operation will help us understand our application and how we can utilize counters in our automation programs. The productivity suite software has Simple Counters (SCNT) and the Counters (CNT) instructions. We will be reviewing these instructions and looking at how to implement them in our ladder logic program. Let's get started. Detailed information can be found on our website.

Previously we defined an array and used this in an indirect addressing program. It sequenced bits in an output card indirectly. We then looked at the following instructions: Array Statistics (STA), Copy Array (CPA), Fill Array (FLA), and Shift / Rotate Array (SRA). We will now look at the final four array instructions: Pack Boolean Array (PBA) – Pack an Array of Boolean tags into a destination Word Array Pack Word Array (PWA) – Convert one 8-bit or 16-bit Array into a 16 or 32-bit Destination Array tag. UnPack Boolean Array (UPBA) – Unpack an Array of Word tags into a destination Boolean Array. UnPack Word Array (UPWA) – Convert one 32 or 16-bit array source tag into four eight or 16-bit array tags. Let's start with our final look at our Productivity 2000 Series PLC arrays. Detailed information can be found on our website.

The program control method and instructions will allow us to specify what parts of the logic get solved and when this happens. This will control how the PLC will scan and solve your logic in your program using a synchronous PLC Scan. Understanding the PLC program scan will explain synchronous and asynchronous program scanning. Task Management provides a method to see the overall flow of your PLC program. Individual ladder logic programs get solved left to right, top to bottom. The result of the rung before is available for the next rung. Looking into the folders of task management, we can see blocks of code. These blocks contain the ladder logic that will solve our logic. Instructions within the ladder logic code can also determine how the PLC will solve the logic. We will be looking at using program control in the Productivity 2000 Series PLC. Let's get started.

Productivity 2000 PLC Drum Sequencer Instructions

The PLC productivity series includes a Drum and Sequencer instruction that can be very useful. The Drum instructions function similarly to an electromagnetically-operated drum sequencer. To better understand this concept, consider the mechanics of a music box. A small drum with pegs catches and flicks the chimes in a specific sequence to produce a tune. Similarly, in a PLC, you can have a drum activated either by an event (such as input from a limit switch or button) or by time. The functionality of sequencers is comparable to that of drum instruction. A sequencer enables users to define each step based on time and/or event, and specific outputs can be configured to activate when entering or exiting the step. However, sequencers can produce up to 16 Boolean, Integer, or Numerical Tags per step in their output. On the other hand, drum instruction outputs are limited to the same 16-bit (Boolean) outcomes. We have done similar Drum instructions for the BRX Series and Click PLC. https://accautomation.ca/series/brx-do-more-plc/ https://accautomation.ca/series/click-plc/ We will discuss the drum and sequencer instructions in the Productivity 2000 Series PLC. Simple examples will be given to demonstrate the power of these instructions. Let’s get started. Detailed information can be found on our website.

The productivity series of PLCs has a built-in data logger. This accessible data logger will log up to 64 tag values on a USB (Micro SD) storage device connected to the CPU. The logs will be stored in CSV (Comma Separated Values) file format. Logging can be triggered by the rising edge transition of a Boolean tag (event) or configured to occur at regular intervals (scheduled). A USB storage device should be generally connected if logging data. The CPU maintains an internal 73KB buffer for temporarily logging data while no USB storage device exists. Data in the buffer will not be retained through a power cycle. Let’s get started. Detailed information can be found on our website.

The Productivity 2000 series of PLCs has five built-in communication ports for easy connectivity to your PC or various industrial networks. Ethernet protocols like Modbus TCP can be utilized with the RJ45 port on this PLC. Modbus TCP is an open (published) protocol that uses the Server (Master) / Client (Slave) architecture. It’s a very common protocol used in industrial automation controls. We will use the RJ45 (Ethernet) port to communicate to a Click PLC. Modbus TCP will be the protocol used on this Ethernet communication media. The Productivity 2000 PLC will be the server, and the Click PLC will be the client. We will be creating a network between the two PLC units. A heartbeat will be used, so if communications are lost, the server (slave) will know. The throughput time will be timed using a small Click PLC program. You will soon see how the Productivity Series of PLCs best handles communication with other devices. Let’s get started.

What is the most powerful PLC instruction? What instruction or concept is the most powerful when programming any manufacturer's PLCs? Many people will guess timers, counters, or the set and reset bit instructions. These are all great instructions, but indirect or pointer instruction is the most powerful. In PLC programming, pointers, also called indirect addressing, store or retrieve memory addresses of data or instructions. They are instrumental when dealing with large amounts of data or performing complex calculations. Machine recipes, sequence control, and test result storage are just a few examples of where this powerful PLC instruction is used. We will examine how indirect addressing works in the Click, Do-More, and Productivity PLCs. You will discover how easily and powerful pointers are when programming. Let's get started. Detailed information and links can be found in the corresponding post here. https://accautomation.ca/the-most-powerful-plc-instruction/ 00:00 The Most Powerful PLC Instruction? 01:17 Powerful PLC Indirect (Pointer) Instruction 02:46 Click PLC Indirect Pointer 03:43 Productivity PLC Indirect Pointer 04:59 Do-More (BRX) PLC Indirect Pointer PLC Beginner’s Guide to PLC Programming https://accautomation.ca/programming/plc-beginners-guide/ Here are the controllers that we have covered at ACC Automation: BRX Do-More Series (Do-More Designer Software + Simulator) https://accautomation.ca/series/brx-do-more-plc/ Productivity Series https://accautomation.ca/series/productivity-1000-plc/ https://accautomation.ca/series/productivity-2000-series-plc-p2000/ Click PLC Series https://accautomation.ca/series/click-plc/ Omron CP1H Series https://accautomation.ca/series/omron-plc-cp1h-series/ Horner XL4 PLC Series https://accautomation.ca/series/horner-xl4-series/ https://accautomation.ca/series/easyplc-software-suite/ EasyPLC Software Suite is a complete PLC, HMI, and Machine Simulator Software package.

We will now add a human-machine interface (HMI) to our system. Modifying the PLC logic to accommodate the controls from the touch screen, we will add a C-More CM5 unit. This HMI will communicate with the productivity PLC simulator and the easy transfer line machine. This will create our ultimate automation training environment. Let's get started. Our website post provides effortless access to all the relevant links discussed in the video. We have gathered all the necessary information for your convenience, to all the resources mentioned. https://accautomation.ca/creating-the-ultimate-automation-training-setup2/ 00:00 Creating the Ultimate Automation Training Setup Part 2 01:15 PLC / HMI Program Development 02:32 Modifying the Productivity Suite PLC Program 04:54 Modify the C-More CM5 HMI Program  09:04 Download and Test the HMI program in our Ultimate Automation Environment The EasyPLC Software Suite Series can be found here... https://accautomation.ca/series/easyplc-software-suite/ Some previous posts include the following: EasyPLC Installing the Software https://accautomation.ca/easyplc-installing-the-software/ https://youtu.be/EbWS_elbI2w EasyPLC Quick Start Software Suite https://accautomation.ca/easyplc-software-suite-quick-start/ https://youtu.be/dK9IS1Ir7c0 Click PLC Easy Transfer Line Programming https://accautomation.ca/click-plc-easy-transfer-line-programming/ https://youtu.be/o7G_ZtPBjbg Productivity PLC Simulator - Chain Conveyor MS https://accautomation.ca/productivity-plc-simulator-chain-conveyor-ms/ https://youtu.be/wp16dsrCvb8 Click PLC Simple Conveyor EasyPLC https://accautomation.ca/click-plc-simple-conveyor-easyplc/ https://youtu.be/pfR5zgUZS7A EasyPLC Paint Line Bit Shift - BRX Do-More PLC https://accautomation.ca/easyplc-paint-line-bit-shift-brx-do-more-plc/ https://youtu.be/5avWZ1RpCRc 4 Way Traffic Light PLC Program EasyPLC https://accautomation.ca/4-way-traffic-light-plc-program-easyplc/ https://youtu.be/DV-9Qq1lT0I EasyPLC Palletizing Robot Programming Click PLC https://accautomation.ca/easyplc-palletizing-robot-programming-click-plc/ https://youtu.be/wcLPxsrlMFQ EasyPLC Machine Editor - Design a Simulation https://accautomation.ca/easyplc-machine-editor-design-a-simulation/ https://youtu.be/B2GJhAvnQZE PLC Programming - A Tutorial for Beginners https://accautomation.ca/plc-programming-a-tutorial-for-beginners/ https://youtu.be/0zX05FSKmHo Parking Cars Simulator PLC Programming Demo https://youtu.be/baJz0sb4VmE Robot Packing PLC Program Development - Click PLC https://accautomation.ca/robot-packing-plc-program-development/ https://youtu.be/ILVcB9bKxmc LS Electric XGB PLC Easy Transfer Program https://accautomation.ca/ls-electric-xgb-plc-easy-transfer-program/ https://youtu.be/7B458ZiiJQ0 Latest Machine Simulator Modbus Server Driver https://accautomation.ca/latest-machine-simulator-modbus-server-driver/ https://youtu.be/n1PPvS5Vwpo Machine Simulator Modbus Server to C-More HMI https://accautomation.ca/machine-simulator-modbus-server-to-c-more-hmi/ https://youtu.be/opXe-wnbneo Creating the Ultimate Automation Training Setup1 https://accautomation.ca/creating-the-ultimate-automation-training-setup1/ https://youtu.be/2W2r65b6SlI Machine Simulator Suite (EasyPLC Software Suite) is a complete PLC, HMI, and Machine Simulator Software package.
