2 Introduction
The BT-MADAP software is the successor of the proven MADAP soft-
ware packet which was developed for both the CL400 and the CL500
multiple-processor control unit. As an added feature, BT-MADAP sup-
ports the CL200 compact control unit.
2.1 Overview
BT-MADAP requires the following hardware components:
• CL200, CL400 or CL500 programmable logic controller (PLC).
• BT5 or BT20 operator terminal
When compared with the familiar MADAP software, BT-MADAP provides
significant advantages providing distinctive cost savings.
BT-MADAP Advantages
• Reduced volume of program code (memory requirements) through di-
rect access to PLC data from the control panel
• Cycle time effectiveness
• No interface module required because access to data is possible via
interface of programming unit.
• Visualization module (diagnostics module) no longer required.
• Omission of above mentioned modules results in space savings in
physical controller construction.
• For the user switching from MADAP to BT-MADAP, the most signifi-
cant feature is the absolute compatibility of control functions (sequen-
tial function program) for the CL400 and CL500 controllers.
2.2 Functions and Features
A brief listing of the major features appears below:
Controlling machine sequences
For up to 60 sequences with 128 steps each, this function assumes the
entire cascade management, complete with MANUAL, INCHING and
AUTOMATIC modes, up to the point of command output. For MANUAL
and AUTOMATIC modes, different conditions can be programmed in
each step.
Machine operation
Ease of operation through 16 preprogrammed screen masks, each hand-
ling 8 manual operating functions. Instead of the previous time-consuming
programming routines, only simple parameterization (selection of para-
meter values) remains to be carried out.
