Ladder Logic Program Basics 4 Ladder Logic Program Basics This chapter discusses the basic operation of ladder logic programs. Topics include: • • • understanding ladder logic programs types of ladder logic connections application example – 4-rung ladder logic program For a more detailed introduction to ladder logic programming, refer to the APS Quick Start for New Users. This guide is intended for the first time user.
Advanced PrefaceProgramming Software User Manual Understanding Ladder Logic Programs Ladder logic is a graphical programming language based on electrical relay diagrams. Instead of having electrical rung continuity, ladder logic is looking for logical rung continuity. A ladder logic diagram identifies each of the elements in an electromechanical circuit and represents them graphically. This allows you to see how your control circuit operates before you actually start the physical operation of your system.
Ladder Logic Program Basics Example 1-Rung Ladder Logic Program A ladder logic program consists of individual rungs, each containing at least one output instruction and one or more input instructions. The ladder rung that follows has two input instructions and an output instruction. An output instruction always appears at the right, next to the right power rail. Input instructions always appear to the left of the output instruction.
Advanced PrefaceProgramming Software User Manual The status of the instruction is XIC Examine if Closed ] [ XIO Examine if Open ]/[ OTE Output Energize ( ) Logic 0 False True False Logic 1 True False True If the data table bit is From the above table, we see that status bits 10, 11, and 12 indicate that the XIC instruction, XIO instruction, and OTE instruction of our rung are all true.
Ladder Logic Program Basics Inputs Output Bit Status Time XIC XIO OTE XIC XIO OTE t1(initial) False True False 0 0 0 t2 True True Goes True 1 0 1 t3 True False Goes False 1 1 0 t4 False False Remains False 0 1 0 Types of Ladder Logic Connections In a ladder logic diagram each of the input devices are represented in series or parallel logic combinations across the rung of the ladder.
Advanced PrefaceProgramming Software User Manual Parallel Logic Another form of logical continuity is parallel (OR) logic. This means that when one or another path of logic is true, energize the output. Example — Parallel Inputs c a b In the above example, if A or B is true, energize C. Use branching to form parallel logic in your user program. Branches can be established at both input and output portions of a rung.
Ladder Logic Program Basics Output Branching You can program parallel outputs on a rung to allow a true logic path to control multiple outputs. When there is a true logic path, all parallel outputs become true. Example — Parallel Output Branching a c b d e In the above example, either A or B provides a true logical path to all three output instructions. Additional input logic instructions (conditions) can be programmed in the output branches to further condition control of the outputs.
Advanced PrefaceProgramming Software User Manual Branching Combinations and Limitations Use branching to avoid redundant instructions, speed-up processor evaluation, and provide more efficient programming. APS allows branching combinations to be programmed in the fixed, SLC 5/01, SLC 5/02, SLC 5/03, and SLC 5/04 processors, and the MicroLogix 1000 controllers. (Note that the Hand-Held Terminal (HHT) does not allow nested input and output branches to be programmed in a fixed or SLC 5/01 processor.
Ladder Logic Program Basics Branching Limitations You are limited to four nested branches per rung; however, each nested branch can have up to 75 extended branches, as shown below. Nest 1, Extension 1 Nest 1, Extension 2 Nest 1, Extension 3 . . . Nest 1, Extension 75 Nest 2, Extension 1 Nest 2, Extension 2 Nest 2, Extension 3 . . . Nest 2, Extension 75 Nest 3, Extension 1 Nest 3, Extension 2 Nest 3, Extension 3 . . . Nest 3, Extension 75 Nest 4, Extension 1 Nest 4, Extension 2 Nest 4, Extension 3 . . .
Advanced PrefaceProgramming Software User Manual Connecting Blocks Blocks of input and output instructions can be connected in series and parallel as well. Example – Series Block Connection a c b d e In the above example, two blocks of information are connected in series. Either A or B, and C or D provides a true logical path. Example – Parallel Block Connection a b c d e In the above example, two blocks of information are connected in parallel.
Ladder Logic Program Basics Application Example – 4-Rung Ladder Logic Program The following 4-rung ladder logic program uses the same 3 bit locations as our simple 1-rung diagram. It also uses an external input bit address and an external output bit address. Note that individual bits are addressed repeatedly. For example, B3/11 is addressed with an XIC instruction in rungs 1 and 4, and it is addressed with both an XIC and an OTE instruction in rung 2.

NAME CHANGE FL.
Advanced PrefaceProgramming Software User Manual Creating a Subroutine Program File (SLC 500 Processors Only) You create subroutine program files for specific applications. For example, if your application requires you to change the status file default values for Fault Routines, Selectable Timed Interrupt Setpoint, or I/O Interrupts a subroutine is required. Valid file numbers range from 3 to 255.
Creating and Editing Ladder Program Files Deleting a Program File (SLC 500 Processors Only) Locate the cursor on the file and press CONFIG CONFIG OFFLINE DELETE OFFLINE YES , then to verify the file FILE CONFIG CONFIG F7 F8 deletion. In the previous example, you cannot delete file 0 or 1. If you attempt to delete file 2, all of the rungs in the file will be deleted, but the file will remain in the program directory.
Advanced PrefaceProgramming Software User Manual Note From the monitor file display, you can quickly access another file number and/or rung within the program file by typing one of the following formats at the command line: • • • file#,rung# file#:rung# file#;rung# The display area shows the end rung. No other rungs exist. The data entry line indicates the file number (2) and the cursored rung number (0).
Creating and Editing Ladder Program Files An empty rung appears. The power rails of the rung are broken lines, indicating that the rung is not yet accepted. The cursor is on the left power rail of the rung. The data entry line indicates this to be rung 0. (The end rung is now rung 1.) The status line indicates RUNG INSERT, the current function. 4. Press CONFIG CONFIG OFFLINE INSERT OFFLINE BIT , then .
Advanced PrefaceProgramming Software User Manual Using the Command Line Instruction Entry Feature You can enter an instruction mnemonic and any parameters visible from the ladder display from the command line. This feature allows you to enter one instruction and its address at a time. For example: XIC B3/1. While entering the parameters, if you omit a parameter by typing two consecutive commas, the parameters typed are entered into the instruction and you are prompted for the remaining parameters.
Creating and Editing Ladder Program Files Branch Operations Branches allow you to form parallel logic in your user program. Branches can be established at both input and output portions of a rung. For more information on branching, refer to chapter 4 of this manual. 1. CONFIG CONFIG OFFLINE EDIT OFFLINE MODIFY , then RUNG .

Press Places the starting point of a nested branch to the right of the cursored instruction or at the cursor.
Creating and Editing Ladder Program Files Moving Between Files (Changing Files) There are two ways to change program files: Method 1 — To enter a program into a different program file, press [F3], Exit, move the cursor to the file you want to move and press CONFIG OFFLINE MONITOR . Using this method assumes that a FILE CONFIG F8 file and rung number have already been created. You do not have to enter the rung number. Method 2 — A program must exist 1.
Advanced PrefaceProgramming Software User Manual The Search Function The search function allows you to quickly locate instructions and addresses in ladder program files. The search and replace function also allows you to quickly locate instructions and addresses; however, this function also allows you to automatically replace the instruction or address with a different one. This function is discussed later in this section.
Creating and Editing Ladder Program Files 1. At the offline Program display press CONFIG CONFIG OFFLINE MONITOR OFFLINE SEARCH , then or [ALT–S]. FILE CONFIG CONFIG F8 F6 The following function keys are available: Function Key Description [F1] Search Type Toggles between Search Instruction/Address, Search & Replace Instruction/Address, and Edit Zone (SLC 5/03 and SLC 5/04 only). The replacement of I/O addresses is not checked against the I/O configuration until you compile and save the program.
Advanced PrefaceProgramming Software User Manual 2. Press CONFIG OFFLINE SEARCH . Enter the instruction type by doing one of the following: FOR CONFIG F2 a. Type in the search string. Enter the instruction type first, followed by a comma, and then the address. Do not add spaces to the search string. For example, xic,b3/0. b. Press one of the available function keys, described below.
Creating and Editing Ladder Program Files Search and Replace Note You cannot search for an indirect address; however, you can search and replace components within the indirect address. For example, if you are replacing N7:0 with R6:2.POS, the indirect address F8:[N7:0] becomes F8:[R6:2.POS]. For indexed addresses, the # sign is ignored when performing a search and replace for instructions or addresses.
Advanced PrefaceProgramming Software User Manual Additional Search Messages • SEARCH PATTERN NOT FOUND Indicates that there are no more occurrences of the search object between the current start point and the end rung. • CURSORED INSTRUCTION IS THE ONLY OCCURRENCE OF SEARCH OBJECT Indicates that the search object only appeared once in the ladder program. Advanced Editing Functions The Advanced Editing function allows you to mark a range of rungs to be either cut or copied.

Advanced PrefaceProgramming Software User Manual Creating and Deleting Data Files (SLC 500 Processors Only) When you assign an address to an instruction in your ladder program, you are allocating memory space to a data file. As more and more addresses are assigned, the various data files increase in size, according to the needs of your program. Memory space is allocated in element blocks, beginning with element 0. For example, suppose the first address you assign in your program is B3/19.
Creating and Editing Ladder Program Files Creating Data Files The memory map function of the programming device allows you to create data files by entering addresses directly, rather than assigning addresses to instructions in your program. You can create data files to store recipes and lookup tables if needed. 1. CONFIG CONFIG OFFLINE OFFLINE OFFLINE MEMORY .
Advanced PrefaceProgramming Software User Manual 2. Press CONFIG OFFLINE CREATE DT FILE . The prompt line displays Enter Address to create. CONFIG F6 Data is created by entering the highest numbered element you want to be included. For example, entering element N7:12 (default integer file 7) creates element N7:12 and all lower numbered elements down to N7:0, if they have not already been created. 3. Type the element address: N7:12 and press [ENTER].
Creating and Editing Ladder Program Files Deleting Data Files There are two ways to delete the contents of data files: • • Clear memory- to delete your entire processor file, including all files except the system program file (0) and the status data file (2). Use the memory map function- to delete data in individual files or portions of files. For example, you can delete blocks of addresses that have been allocated but are not being used. Allocated Space Not Used You cannot delete these files.
Advanced PrefaceProgramming Software User Manual Radices Used in APS Almost all calculations are performed on signed integer values. Most operands used to perform these calculations are sized at 16 bits. A signed 16 bit integer spans the range of –32,768 to 32,767. These 16 bit values can be displayed or entered in several radices.
Creating and Editing Ladder Program Files Example You are prompted to enter the second parameter of an EQU instruction and you wish to enter a constant. Constants are displayed in the Integer radix.
Documenting Ladder Programs 7 Documenting Ladder Programs Before or after you enter the rungs of logic in your ladder program, you have the option of documenting the rungs, addresses, instruction, or symbols (online and offline). This allows someone else who may be maintaining the program to understand it. You can also use symbols instead of addresses for ease of programming your ladder logic.
Advanced PrefaceProgramming Software User Manual Comment Types and Symbols This section discusses the types of comments and/or symbols you can add to your ladder program and their unique characteristics. Rung Comments A rung comment explains the purpose of an individual rung or group of rungs. The rung comment can consist of up to 6 lines, with up to 80 ASCII characters in each line. A rung comment is internally associated with the output instruction of the rung.
Documenting Ladder Programs Address Comments Address comments help to identify the type of mechanism (pilot light or push button) associated with the address. The address comment can consist of up to 5 lines, with up to 10 ASCII characters in each line. All instructions having the same address will automatically have the same address comment. An address comment need not be unique. The same comment can be applied to instructions having different addresses.
Advanced PrefaceProgramming Software User Manual Documenting Your Ladder Program You have the option of documenting your program before or after it is entered. If you have a complex program, it is recommended to enter comments after you have entered the ladder program. Adding Comments and Symbols Rung, instruction, and address comments and symbols help explain your ladder program to someone else who has to read, modify, or maintain the program.
Documenting Ladder Programs The following key stroke combinations provide editing and navigational capabilities when entering comments and symbols. This key combination: [CTRL-B] or [CTRL-left arrow] Performs this function: Moves the cursor to the beginning of the line.

Use this function to make minor changes to a pre-existing ladder program. Online editing functions consist of inserting, replacing, and deleting rungs in an existing ladder program while online with the processor. You can also document your program while performing an online edit.
Online Editing Online Editing Terms The following terms are used throughout this chapter: • • • • • • • • • • Assemble Edits — Deletes any rungs marked with Delete or Replace edit zone markers during an online editing session. Inserted or modified rungs remain. All edit zone markers are removed when this function is complete. Cancel Edits — Deletes any inserted or modified rungs added during an online editing session. Rungs marked with Delete and Replace edit zone markers remain.
Advanced PrefaceProgramming Software User Manual The following figure shows the process involved when performing an online edit.
Online Editing Types of Online Editing The type of online editing is dependent on the SLC 5/03 or SLC 5/04 processor’s keyswitch position and the processor’s mode. There are two types of online editing: • • Program Online Editing — when the processor is in either PROG mode or REM Program mode Runtime Online Editing — when the processor is in either REM Test or REM Run mode The following table summarizes the SLC 5/03 and SLC 5/04 processor keyswitch positions and modes that enable online editing.
Advanced PrefaceProgramming Software User Manual Edit Functions in Runtime Online Editing During a runtime online editing session, the processor is executing ladder logic. The edit zone markers tell the processor that changes exist, but the changes are not executed until you test the edits. Deleted and replaced (modified) rungs are not removed from the program and inserted rungs are not executed until you assemble the edits.
Online Editing Once you assemble or cancel the edits, the edit zone markers are removed and the power rails change back to a solid line. Edit markers are also removed from rungs that are modified and then accepted while performing a program online edit. When using the modify rung function, modified rungs are marked with R edit zone markers on the power rail of the existing version and I edit zone markers are placed on the power rail of the new version of the rung.

Online Editing Effects of Online Editing On Your System The following section covers the effects of online editing on your system. Keep these items in mind while using the online editing function. System Impacts • The scan time and interrupt latency can be extended up to 10 ms when accepting a rung, assembling or canceling edits.
Advanced PrefaceProgramming Software User Manual The previous steps ensure that only the archive file is renamed. Documentation and symbol files will be untouched. Refer to chapter 5 in this manual for more information on renaming files. 3. Save the program file. Data Table File Size Online editing cannot change the size of existing data tables nor can new ones be created. However, some ladder instructions, when programmed cause data table values to change.
Online Editing Offline Editing of a Program Containing Edit Zones Although edit marked rungs cannot be created while offline, you can edit a program containing runtime online edits in the offline program mode. Note that these rungs are treated as normal rungs when editing offline. During an offline edit session, a rung marked with an I or D edit zone marker can be modified. When the modified rung is accepted, the edit zone marker is removed.
Advanced PrefaceProgramming Software User Manual Online Editing Functions You can test your ladder program modifications made during an online editing session before assembling them into the ladder program. When you test your edits, the processor scans the edited program; rungs marked with insert edit zone markers are executed and all rungs marked with replace or delete edit zone markers are skipped. Function Key [F9] This key toggles between Test Edits and Untest Edits.
Online Editing Online Editing cannot be performed while the edited rungs are executing. For example, if you are testing edits and you want to make further changes, you must either perform an untest edits or assemble edits. If you proceed, the edits field on the status line changes from TESTING to DISABLED. For a Runtime Online Editing session, the processor executes rungs not marked with edit zones and all rungs marked with delete or replace zones. Any rungs marked with insert zones are not executed.
Advanced PrefaceProgramming Software User Manual [F10] Cancel Edits If you want to discard your modifications made during online editing, press CONFIG OFFLINE CANCEL . This prevents them from being assembled into your ladder program. EDITS CONFIG F10 Canceling edits can only be done if edits are not currently being tested. • • Note Canceling edits removes the online editing changes from the program and removes the edit zones.
Online Editing Runtime and Program Online Editing Effects This section describes the effects of runtime and program online editing of rungs to a user program. The following terms are used: Normal Rung No edit zone markers appear on the rung; power rail is solid. Insert Rung An insert edit zone marker appears on the power rail and indicates that it was inserted during a runtime online editing session.
Advanced PrefaceProgramming Software User Manual Runtime Online Editing Effects Action Effect of Edit Zone Marker Insert Rung I zone marker remains. If edit = none, status line says disabled Delete Rung Normal rung Rung is marked for deletion, it continues to execute, and a D appears on the power rail. Insert rung The rung is physically removed from the user program. It was not executing. Delete rung Illegal, cannot delete an executing rung.
Online Editing Program Online Editing Effects Action Effect of Edit Zone Marker Insert Rung I zone appears while entering rung instructions. It is removed when you accept the rung. Delete Rung Normal rung Rung is removed. Inserted rung Rung is removed. Delete rung Rung is deleted. Replace rung Illegal, cannot delete because an IR pair exists. Insert rung of IR pair Inserted rung is deleted. The R edit zone marker is removed and the rung is displayed as a normal rung.
Advanced PrefaceProgramming Software User Manual Performing an Online Edit Before performing an online edit, we recommend that you save your program. To access all of the online editing features while in either Runtime or Program Online Editing: When editing a rung that contains an MCR instruction, both the MCR start and MCR end rungs must be edited (whether it be test/assemble/cancel) at the same time. We recommend that you fully understand the possible results of the edit to the system under control.
