1 SYSTEM INTRODUCTION
1.1 PLC Introduction
Ladder diagram is a sequential control chart for PLC (Programmable Logic

Controller), which is a part of HUST CNC system control. Its function is to process
the I/O signal flow between the CNC controller and the machine tool, thereby to
control the machine cutting actions in a sequential manner.
Ladder diagram, ladder, and PLC are all referring to the same thing -- PLC. A
standard PLC is an integral part of HUST CNC products but it can be edited to suit
the specific functional requirement of each individual machine. "PLC Editor" is an
optional PC software that HUST provides you to accomplish the PLC editing. This
manual describes the use of HUST's "PLC Editor".
HUST's PLC Editor provides the following functions which are shown at the
bottom of the first screen when you activate the PLC Editor.
1. EDIT (F1) -- To edit the ladder diagram

2. COMPile (F3) -- To produce a EPROM writing file
3. PRINT (F5) -- To produce a ladder text file for printing
1.2 CNC/PLC/Machine Tool Interface Description
The signals flowing between the CNC and the machine tool are processed by the
PLC. The PLC bits (I/O/C/S/A-bit) that are used in all HUST PLC systems are
described below. The meanings and the applications of the PLC bits are discussed
in all HUST CNC Connecting Manuals. In addition to the PLC bits, HUST's PLC
Editor also provides Timer, Counter, and Register for additional control.
I-bit : Input signal from external I/O unit (machine tool) to PLC.
O-bit : Output signal from PLC to I/O unit for driving external devices.
C-bit : Command signal from PLC to the CNC controller.
S-bit : Status signal from the CNC controller to PLC.
A-bit : Auxiliary internal bit for I/O/C/S-bit processing in PLC.

2 PLC EDITOR OPERATION
2.1 PLC Editor System Startup
♦ System requirements:
Hardware: IBM PC-AT compatible or higher with EGA/VGA monitor or

higher.
Software: HUST's PLC Editor (plc1.exe or plc2.exe and ASCII.15)
plc1.exe for HUST 0-series and 10/11-series, plc2.exe for 3-series.
♦ Copy PLC Editor into your PC as follow:
Insert PLC Editor diskette provided into your PC's drive A or B.

C:\>md\plc<CR>
C:\>cd\plc<CR>
C:\plc>copy a: plc1.exe (or plc2.exe)<CR>
C:\plc>copy a: ascii.15<CR>
♦ PLC Editor startup:
C:\plc>plc1 (or plc2)<CR>
When you enter the execution file "plc1.exe" (or plc2.exe), a screen as shown in Fig
1-1 will be displayed. The three operations that you can do with HUST's PLC
Editor are shown at the bottom of the screen in the function-key area. "F3 COMP"
and "F5 PRINT" operations are normally used only after the entire ladder file
editing (F1 EDIT) have been finished.
1. F1 EDIT (Edit module) -- To edit a new ladder file or revise an existing file.
2. F3 COMP (Compile mod.) -- To produce a "*****.tsk" file for EPROM
writing.
3. F5 PRINT (Print module) -- To produce a ladder text file for printing.
4. F0 END -- To quit PLC Editor operation.
2.2 Editing Methods and The Keyboard Keys (Edit Module)
PLC Editor is of manu-driven type. The operation you want to do is explicitly

shown at the bottom screen in the Function key area (5). There are two (2) ways
to enter the operation. Let's assume that you want to edit a file (F1 EDIT). All you
have to is to do one of the followings:
1. Function-key -- Press the corresponding function-key on the keyboard "F1", or

2. Direct input -- Type in the command word (or symbol) "EDIT" as shown in
the Function-key area (5), then press ENTER key.
3
HUST PLC Editor
Once you have done one of the above, the operation you keyed in will be displayed
in the Command Line area (4), and the Function-key area (5) with a message in area
(3) will display the next step you should do. When you finish all the steps required,
press ENTER key and the data in the Command Line area (4) will be entered into
the Main area (2). If you made an error while editing, an error message would be
displayed in the Message area (3) when you press ENTER key. Both input methods
can be used inter-changeably.
The complete steps to bring an existing ladder file onto screen for editing are as
follows. Throughout this book, the information inside the bracket "<xxxxx>" are
the data that require user's input.
F1 EDIT + <filename> + ENTER (F1~F10 function-key method)

EDIT + <filename> + ENTER (direct input)
<filename> for EDIT, COMP, or PRINT is the file that has "LAD" extension such
as "xxxxx.LAD". When you key in the filename for EDIT, COMP, or PRINT, the
"LAD" extension can be omitted. Once you press ENTER key, the ladder diagram
as shown in Fig 2-1 will be displayed in the Main area (2) for an existing file.

2.2.1 Keyboard Keys For Editing
The special keys on the keyboard that are to be used during PLC editing will be
discussed below:
♦ "Esc" Key : Toggle between the Command mode and the Ladder mode
During PLC ladder editing, there are two windows existed for operation. They
can be toggled back and forth with "Esc" key. As to which window being active
is displayed at the top left-hand corner in the Header area (1) by <Esc>:Ladder
or <Esc>:Command. The best way to distinguish which window being active is
to check the two cursors on the screen. One is a big square cursor in the ladder
Main area (2) and the other is a line cursor in the Command Line area (4).
<ESC>:Ladder -- Command Mode

The cursor in the Command Line area (4) is active (cursor blinking) and it can
be moved in this area by pressing the arrow keys on the keyboard. Thereby you
can edit or revise the data in this area. When pressing ENTER key, the edited
data in this area will be transferred to the ladder Main area (2) at the big square
cursor location.
<ESC>:Command -- Ladder Mode

The cursor in the Main area (2) is active and it can be moved in this area by
pressing the arrow keys on the keyboard. Wherever the cursor is moved to, it
means that the element at the cursor will be replaced by the data in the
Command Line area (4).

2.4 Compile Module
F3 COMP + <filename> + ENTER (function-key method)

COMP <filename> ENTER (direct input)
<filename> is the ladder filename to be compiled. (no extension required) You use
this command to compile ladder file only if you decide to produce a xxxxx.tsk file
for EPROM writing. When compiling a file, the module will do the following
things:
1. Check if there is any short/open circuit.

2. Compile the ladder diagram
3. Prompt warning message if there is some non-reusable components that have
been multiply used.
4. If the compiled result is in error, it will generate an error message as
*.err → compile error.
5. If the compiled result is OK, it will generate a message as
Open circuit check : OK

♦ TIMER:
TMR XXXX
Input Output
tttt YYYY
Where "tttt" is the Timer base unit, 50 ms, 0.1 sec., 1 second .
F3 TIMER + <T_NO:> + F1 50ms + <VALUE> + ENTER

F3 TIMER + <T_NO:> + F2 0.1s + <VALUE> + ENTER
F3 TIMER + <T_NO:> + F3 1sec + <VALUE> + ENTER
XXXX (T_NO:) : A Timer number, T000~T031

YYYY (Value) : A Timer setting value, 0~+32767.
When the input signal is ON, the Timer XXXX starts counting. When the time is
equal to (tttt * YYYY), the output signal will be turned ON. For example, if
YYYY=100 with timer base unit of 50 ms, the total elapses time = 100 x 50 = 5000
ms before the output signal is turned ON.
Example 1:
TMR T002
( )
0.1sec #10
I001 O005
( )
TM001 O007
Input Signal I001 10 秒

Output Signal O005
Input Signal TM001
Output Signal O007
When I001 is ON, Timer T001 becomes active and starts counting. When the
time in T001 timer reaches 1 second, the output O005 will be ON. Timer stops
counting and resets to zero (0) when I001 is OFF.
Every timer has an internal contact, acting like a normal contact. TM001 is the
internal contact of Timer T001. When the time in T001 is ON, TM001 is also
ON. Consequently, the output O007 is ON also.

F4 COUNT + <C_NO:> + F1 UP + <VALUE> + ENTER
XXXX (C_NO:) : A Counter number, C000~C031

YYYY (Value) : A Counter setting value, 0~+32767.
When the input signal is ON, the Counter XXXX starts counting UP the number of
times that the input signal comes in. When the Counter counts UP to the number
specified by YYYY, the output signal will be turned ON. Once the count reaches
YYYY, this number will stay in the counter unless you use Counter Set to re-define
its value.
Note that the starting value in the Counter XXXX is very important. If it's a 0, the
number of times that the input signal comes in will be equal to YYYY. If it's greater
than YYYY, the counter will not count at all and the output will never be turned
ON.
Example 1:
CNT C001
( )

Input Signal CNT1
Output Signal O007
When the input signal I001 is ON five (5) times as registered by C001
(assuming that C001=0 initiallt), the output O005 will be ON.
Every counter has an internal contact, acting like a normal contact. CNT001
is the internal contact of Counter C001. When the number in C001 is up to 5,
CNT001 is also ON. Consequently, the output O007 is ON also.

Input Signal I001
Output Signal O005
Input Signal CNT1
Output Signal O007
When the input signal I001 is ON, Counter C001 will start counting down
from 5 for each I001 ON signal. Once the count in C001 becomes 0, the
output signal O005 will be turned ON. Counter will then reset to 5 and is
ready for the next count. At the same time, the output signal O005 will be
turned OFF until C001 reaches 0 again.
