If you
understand how to program an SLC, you
can:
• create programs and edit existing programs
using RSLogix for an A-B PLC.
• make yourself worth more to your company.
• communicate your ideas better to your
co-workers or your
clients.
If you to want to take the quick path
to learning RSLogix, this SLC training manual
is for you.
And, you can begin right now.
This tutorial explains everything you need
to know to get a solid understanding of SLCs
and provides the most cost-effective RSLogix
training available today.
This ebook is more than an introduction to SLCs
and Rockwell software. It contains real world
examples that are a result of 12 years of A-B
PLC programming experience. It contains tips
and routines you can start using
immediately.
To the beginner in RSLogix, it is more valuable
than the thick and complex books written by
college professors. They cover functions and
algorithms you may never use. After wading
through one of these, you still might not know
how to turn on a motor with an SLC 500 or a
MicroLogix 1000.
"PLC Programming with RSLogix 500" makes
learning RSLogix easy. And it is written in
plain English.
If you
are:
- a software engineer who needs to quickly
learn RSLogix 500
- a student of engineering
- an engineer in a non-electrical field
- a technician and maintenance person who works
with Allen-Bradley SLC 500 equipment
"PLC Programming with RSLogix 500" will
get you up to speed - fast.
"PLC
Programming with RSLogix 500"
will
• show you
how to program an SLC 500, one the most popular
SLCs in use today (including the SLC 5/01, SLC
5/02, SLC 5/03, SLC 5/04 and SLC 5/05) and a
MicroLogix 1000 (which also uses RSLogix
500)
• teach
you step by step how to make changes to the
ladder logic online
• save you
a bunch of money (other A-B PLC courses cost
hundreds of dollars)
• save
time (this ebook can be read and understood in
a few evenings)
• show you
how to be comfortable programming a PLC with
RSLogix
• teach
you how Ladder Logic works in the
Allen-Bradley SLC 500 series
• allow
you to communicate intelligently with others
regarding Allen-Bradley PLCs
We don't just tell
you what you need to do in RSLogix - we show
you a picture.
This book has dozens of screen shots
explaining how to:
- install the Rockwell software RSLogix
500
- understand Allen-Bradley's unique method of
assigning addresses
- use the basic instructions in the SLC 500
set
- insert, edit and modify rungs
- connect to the SLC, download the program and
modify the program online.
and much more.

This book

give you what you need to start programming in
RSLogix.
The
Project
The best way to learn
a new language or piece of software is by
looking at a real world
example.
"PLC Programming with RSLogix
500" uses a batching project to show you how to
program. This is a functioning program - the
real thing; not just a simulation.
There is a Project Scope included in
the book. If you are a consultant or a
programmer already, you are familiar with this
type of document. It outlines in detail how the
completed system must work. It would be your
job to write the program and make sure that the
system performs indicated in the project
scope.
The book takes you through each step of writing
the program to meet the specification. you will
learn how to interpret words into ladder logic
in RSLogix. Here is a diagram and a brief
description of the Project Scope that is used
in the book.

Project
Overview
Three ingredients (city
water, ingredient QR and
ingredient KM) are added in
specified amounts by weight to
the Mixing Tank. After all the
ingredients have been added to
the Mixing Tank, the mixture is
blended by running the agitator
for a given time. When the
blending time is complete, the
finished product is pumped to
the Filling Lines for bottling
and final packaging.
Detailed
Sequence of
Operations
To begin a new batch, the
operator will verify that the
“SYSTEM READY” pilot light is
on and that the Mixing Tank is
ready to receive
ingredients.
The operator will then press
the “START BATCH” pushbutton to
begin the batching process. No
further operator input is
required.
The “SYSTEM READY” pilot light
will turn off.
Automatic valve AV-CW will
open. The “ADDING WATER” pilot
light will illuminate.
The state of AV-CW will be
verified by limit switch
LS-CW2. If LS-CW2 is not made
within 2 seconds after the
valve was told to open, a fault
will be generated and the
system will shut down. The
pilot light “SYSTEM FAULT” PL2
will illuminate indicating that
a fault has occurred.

"PLC Programming with RSLogix
500" shows the logical progression of the
project from the start.
You learn how to:
- understand the Project Scope
- lay out the I/O
- go online to verify the operation of the
program
- select the right hardware
- configure the SLC and your personal
computer
- program the logic to meet the specifications
in the scope
- program fault detection
- create the final documentation of the ladder
logic
Actual
screen shots are used from RSLogix to show you
exactly how to use the
software.
Excerpt - "PLC Programming
with RSLogix 500"
|
Not only will you get 125
pages of text and images showing you how to
program an SLC 500 with RSLogix, you will also
get:
• a complete I/O listing in Excel
format. You can use this format over and over
again on projects of your own
• the actual RSLogix Batching program that is
used in the book. This is the file that you
would download into an SLC
• a printout of the RSLogix program (with rung
cross references and rung comments - 45 pages -
PDF format)
• a second printout of the RSLogix
program (with no rung cross references or rung
comments - 40 pages - PDF format)
This ebook is the
result of many years of experience in PLC
programming, electrical design and
engineering.
It summarizes dozens of techniques that
are needed to write a solid RSLogix
program.
It has easy to understand text with RSLogix
routines that can be used again and again.
The purpose of this book is to teach you how
to set up, program and use an Allen-Bradley SLC
500 PLC. It will tell you what parts you need
to buy for a common application.
It will tell you how to install RSLogix, how
to write a ladder logic program, how to
configure your computer and your SLC so that
you can download your ladder logic program.
There is a sample project included that
contains a Project Scope. The Project Scope (or
Functional Specification, or whatever your
company might call it) defines in detail how
the system is to operate when the project is
finished.
You will learn how to take a Project Scope
and turn it into a working PLC program.
It will show you, step by step, how to go
online with your SLC to monitor your program to
verify your ladder logic and make sure it is
functioning properly.
It will show you how to make changes to your
program while you are online.
It will show you the keystrokes and mouse
movements that you need to know to use
RSLogix.
Finally, it provides a number of tips and a
Frequently Ask Questions section that will save
you hours of frustration.
