There are several discussions that handles similar themes that you are trying to convey. The trouble with your (emotional?) question is that it is not focussed on something specific and thus difficult to give answer to. I suggest.. organise your thoughts into "headings" and focus your questions in this way. Remember we are "blind" to your situation.. you give us vision by what you describe to us. You are welcome to follow my discussion at [LINK]. w |

Hello zee; What do you mean by "line diagram"? Electrical schematics for the process? A detailed sequence of operations? If you have a basic uunderstanding of ladder logic, then maybe this document is not very useful. But please have a look and see if anything interesting can be found in it: Basic Steps In PLC Programming | EEP The most important (and delicate) aspect of programming a Siemens PLC is the program structure, learning to use FCs, FBs and DBs to optimize the development and implementation of a program. You must define "areas" or "sections" in your process that are repeatable, so you only have to program them once, in a general (non-specific) manner, either as a Function or a Function Block. This can be done for motors, pumps, fans, valves, instruments... Then you must learn to call these FCs and FBs with parameters, so that they can be used for a specific motor or valve. This mode of programming is described in Chapter 3 ("Working out the Automation concept ") of this basic manual:
I suggest you also go through the rest of the manual, it contains very necessary and pertinent information for your project. DBs are user-configurable sections of memory that can be used to gather setpoints, process values... any information required by your program. They can be automatically linked with a Function Block (this is called an Instance DB), or used as a general-purpose memory area. You will find a lot of help in the following modules: Training modules and documents (use the links to Step 7 Classic, TIA PortaL, PCS 7, or Logo! for specialized training). And also these links collected by our friend Khaled Ezzat could prove very useful: But if you are planning to program an application to control a process, and you want to do it professionally, I recommend you get some help for your first application. Much of what is required for this type of programming must be learned by experience, and it would be best to have someone with this experience guiding you through this. The learning curve can be very steep and difficult. Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier. |
