This document discusses Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), including common terminology used with PLCs. It explains that PLCs use ladder logic programming to construct instruction sets and describes the basic components of a ladder logic diagram. It also outlines the different memory areas in a PLC, including program space for storing instructions, data space for calculations and I/O, and configurable parameter space for storing configuration settings.

ENGLISH
Introduction
The language of PLCs consists of a commonly used set
of terms; many of which are unique to PLCs. In order to
understand the ideas and concepts of PLCs, an understanding
of these terms is necessary.
Warm up
A Normally Open (NO) pushbutton is
used in the following example. One side
of the pushbutton is connected to the
first PLC input. The other side of the
pushbutton is connected to an internal
24 VDC power supply. Many PLCs
require a separate power supply to
power the inputs. In the open state, no
voltage is present at the PLC input. This
is the OFF condition. When the
pushbutton is depressed, 24 VDC is
applied to the PLC input. This is the
ON condition.
Programming
A program consists of one or more instructions that
accomplish a task. Programming a PLC is simply
constructing a set of instructions. There are several
ways to look at a program such as ladder logic,
statement lists, or function block diagrams.
Ladder Logic
Ladder logic (LAD) is one programming
language used with PLCs. Ladder logic uses
components that resemble elements used in a
line diagram format to describe hard-wired
control.
Ladder Logic Diagram

The left vertical line of a ladder logic diagram


represents the power or energized conductor.
The output element or instruction represents
the neutral or return path of the circuit. The
right vertical line, which represents the return
path on a hard-wired control line diagram, is
omitted. Ladder logic diagrams are read
from left-to-right, top-to-bottom. Rungs are
sometimes referred to as networks. A network
may have several control elements, but only
one output coil.
In the example program shown example I0.0, I0.1 and Q0.0
represent the first instruction combination. If inputs I0.0 and
I0.1 are energized, output relay Q0.0 energizes. The inputs could
be switches, pushbuttons, or contact closures. I0.4, I0.5, and
Q1.1 represent the second instruction combination. If either
input I0.4 or I0.5 are energized, output relay Q0.1 energizes.
The memory of the S7-200 is divided into three areas: program space, data
space, and configurable parameter space.

• Program space stores the ladder logic (LAD) or statement list (STL)
program instructions. This area of memory controls the way data space and
I/O points are used. LAD or STL instructions are written using a
programming device such as a PC, then loaded into program memory of the
PLC.

• Data space is used as a working area, and includes memory locations for
calculations, temporary storage of intermediate results and constants. Data
space includes memory locations for devices such as timers, counters, high-
speed counters, and analog inputs and outputs. Data space can be
accessed under program control.
• Configurable parameter
space, or memory, stores
either the default or
modified configuration
parameters.
