Basic Ladder Instructions R1.1

The document provides an overview of PLC programming basics, focusing on ladder logic and bit instructions, including Set/Reset functions and input/output addressing. It explains how inputs and outputs are energized based on conditions and introduces timer functions such as On-delay and Off-delay timers. Additionally, it covers logical operations like AND/OR combinations in ladder logic.

PLC Programming Basics

Instruction Addressing

• Input and output bit instructions are


addressed with either actual (physical)
digital I/O addresses or internal storage
bit addresses.

• These addresses are defined by the PLC

PLC Programming Basics

Instruction Addressing

• easy500 controllers use “Markers” for


internal addresses such as M01, M05,
N11

• easy500 controllers use Ixx for actual


(physical) Input addresses and Qxx for
Output addresses. Example: I01, I08 are
Inputs and Q01, Q04 are Outputs

PLC Programming Basics

Instruction Addressing

• Marker addresses (Mxx) are internal


storage addresses defined by the
controller. They are used as internal
relays

• Real-world Input and Output addresses


must correspond to the actual (physical)
input terminal as defined by the
controller

PLC Programming Basics

Inputs
• Input instructions change state when
power is applied to the input terminal
with the corresponding address

• It’s common to call the following


instruction “True” rather than “Closed”
when power is applied to the terminal its
addressed to

Inputs

• It’s also common to call the following


instruction “False” rather than “Open”
when power is applied to the input
terminal it’s addressed to

Outputs

• Outputs “energize” when rung


conditions preceding them are “True”

• When Input 1 is True, Output 1 is


energized

PLC Programming Basics

Set/Reset
• A Set instruction remains True even
after the rung conditions that made it
True become False
• A Set instruction must be accompanied
by a Reset instruction addressed with
the same address in order to reset the
bit, based on your logic

Set/Reset Example

Input 1 sets Output 1 and Input 2 resets


Output 1 (Inputs 1 & 2 must not be True at
the same time)

Ladder is evaluated (scanned)


starting from the top rung, left to
right, followed by the next rung,
and so on, until the bottom is
reached. Then starts again at the
top.

If Input A OR Input B
is true, the Output will

PLC Programming Basics - Timers

• Timers
• Two basic types of timers in PLCs:
1. On-delay timers
2. Off-delay timers

© 2012 Eaton Corporation. All rights reserved.


15
PLC Programming Basics - Timers

• On-delay timers
When an On-delay timer is energized
(True) it delays turning On the timer’s
output bit until the timer’s preset time
value is reached. The output bit is
often called the timer’s “Done” bit and
it indicates the timer has attained its
preset time.

16
PLC Programming Basics - Timers

• Off-delay timers
When an Off-delay timer is energized
(True) it immediately turns On its
output (Done) bit. The timer then
delays turning Off the output (Done)
bit for the timer’s preset time, after the
timer is de-energized (False).
Off-delay timers are less common than
On-delay timers.
