ELEC 2112 - Programmable Logic Controllers Advanced Course

Institution:

Arkansas State University-Beebe

Subject:

Description:

This course develops the more complex relay ladder logic (RLL) functions found in a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). The concept of decimal and natural binary number systems is introduced. Integer math special functions of ADD, SUBTRACT, MULTIPLY, DIVIDE, GREATER THAN, EQUAL TO, LESS THAN and LIMIT are implemented along with binary coded decimal (BCD)-a common interface format. Data manipulation functions of SHIFT REGISTER, MOVE, MASKED MOVE and COPY are explained. Analog-to-digital and digital- to-analog INPUT/OUTPUT interfaces are presented and employed. These special functions are tested and analyzed using laboratory trainers. The student designs, builds and tests complex RLL control circuits using the above functions. The Allen Bradley SLC500 PLC with Windows-based RSLogix 500 software and/or the Siemens 500 Series PLC with Windows-based SoftShop software are utilized in the laboratory. Prerequisite: ELEC 2102.
