AB PLCprocedure USER MANUAL

The document outlines the steps for programming Allen Bradley PLCs using RSLogix 500 software, starting from opening the program to downloading the completed logic circuit to the PLC. It includes instructions for selecting the PLC type, inserting symbols, creating rungs, verifying the program, and establishing a connection for downloading. Additionally, it mentions the documentation of any changes made in the program and provides examples of logic gates.

ALLEN BRADLEY PROGRAMMING STEPS :

Go to
Start>Programs>Rockwell Software>RSLogix 500 English .
The main window will open. Click on new sheet.
2
OR

Go to
File>New

Select the required PLC here (i.e.MicroLogix1000 in our lab) and then click on OK
3

OR YOU WILL GET MICROLOGIC 1000 BY DEFAULT IN CASE OF 10 POINT


CONTROLLER. CLICK OK

Now the working area appear.Here we have to key in the program in ladder format.

For inserting the required symbols.


4
Place the cursor here and then click on the symbols you want to insert in the ladder.

When symbol is placed in the working area , It asks for the address(i.e. in question mark).

Double click on the black area ,then one small window will open , there you enter the
address. For Exampe : I:0/0 and then press enter

Then enter the description if you want of the symbol in the window below and then click OK.
5

Similarly place and enter the address for the output coil: O:0/0

For creating new rung ( next horizontal line) place the cursor at the red marked area and
click on new rung. Then keep on building your logic circuit between the vertical lines, by
6
using previously mentioned procedure ( i.e. by clicking on the NO , NC , COIL symbols and
placing on the working area and enter their respective addresses).

New rung

For placing one symbol parallel to the another symbol ( for creating latching path )

Select the symbol where you want to place another symbol in parallel with it. Then click on
the rung branch icon.(then this appears.)
7

Drag and drop the ON PUSH BUTTON symbol in to the rung branch area.

Then place the cursor at the left corner of the parallel path ( black rectangle area) and then
insert the required symbol you want to place across the ON PUSH BUTTON symbol.

The selected symbol will be placed across I:0/0 .


Then enter the desired address for the inserted symbol.
8

After building logic circuit or program, verify the program for finding out any faults in the
program by clicking on this icon

For downloading the program in to the PLC


9
Go to: Comms>Download….. while doing this if the file is not saved , it ask for the
saving. Save the file

Before downloading the program to the PLC, we have to set up a connection between
programming device(normal computer) and PLC by using a RS232 cable (physical
connections has to be done ).

Therefore go to:

Start >Programs >Rockwell Software > RSLinx > RSLinx Classic.


10
Then this window will appear. Here click on the configure drivers icon .

OR

Go to : Communication>configure Drivers

Then follow these steps (in the window below)

 In the drop down list select the RS-232 DF1 devices .


 Then click the add new button .
 Select the driver and click OK.
11
 Select configure.
 Click ok after ‘Auto-configure successful’ is indicated.
12

Any changes made in the program can be typed in this window for documentation and future
reference.

Go ONLINE if required
