Productivity Numbering Systems and Tag Database

We will now look at the tag numbering systems used with the Productivity controller. 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 … Read more

Omron CP1H Data Control Instructions

The data control instructions in the Omron CP1H programmable logic controller are used to manipulate the outputs based upon control conditions. Control is the main purpose of these instructions within the PLC. Instructions include PID (Proportional, Integral, and Derivative), PID with Autotuning, Dead Band Control, Limit, Dead Zone Control, Time Proportional Output, Scaling, etc. We … Read more

Learn Every Table Data Instruction on the Omron CP1H

The Omron CP1H programmable logic controller has several different table data processing instructions. These instructions are used to handle table data, stacks and other ranges of data. We can define a stack of data. With this data we can then do the following: add new data by pushing onto the stack, use FIFO (First In … Read more

Unlock Hidden PLC Data Powers: Omron CP1H Conversion Secrets

We will now look at data conversion instructions in the Omron Cp1H Controller. Programmable logic controller programming is all about manipulating the bits within the memory of the controller. Sometimes we need to convert from one form to another. This is where we will use data conversion instructions. BCD to Binary, Line to Column, Grey … Read more

Omron CP1H Data Shifting Instructions

We will now look at data shifting instructions in the Omron CP1H controller. PLC programming is all about how we can manipulate the information stored in the PLC. We have already looked at timers, counters, moves, and comparison instructions. Data shifting is a different concept that will move bits and words around in memory. This … Read more

Master CP1H Data Flow: Essential Programming Secrets Revealed

Every program usually has some kind of data movement. This is the ability to transfer information from one area of the controller to another. The Omron CP1H series of programmable logic controllers provide several different ways to manipulate this information. We will be looking at several different ways in which data movement can happen with … Read more
