Personal Computer Requirements

The Advanced Programming Software (APS) can be used with an Allen-Bradley T47, T53, T60, or T70 terminal, 386/SX, NEC VERSAtE and M Series Notebooks, or GATEWAY 2000t models 386DX/25, 386DX/33, 486DX/33, 486DX2/50, and 486DX2/66 personal computers. Your computer must have:

• 640 Kbytes of RAM (A minimum of 2 Mbytes of extended memory

is required; 3 Mbytes are required for programming a 1747-L543 processor.)

• 10 Mbytes fixed-disk drive (APS requires 7.5 MBytes of free disk space.)

• MS DOS version 3.3 or higher (INTERCHANGEt requires MS DOS version

5.0 or higher.)

Platform Restrictions

If Using a 386/DX33 or Higher Platform

These platforms operate with no restrictions.

If Using a Platform Lower Than 386/DX33

Some restrictions may apply when operating at these platforms depending on the communication driver you use and its associated baud rate.

When operating at 19200 with an Allen-Bradley T47 or T60, a 386SX, or a similar computer, the use of EMM386 may slightly degrade network communications, and may degrade the reliability of APS communications to a network node. For enhanced communications performance on these computers, we recommend you remove EMM386 from the CONFIG.SYS file.

For restrictions on other drivers, see the table that follows.

Advanced Programming Software User Manual

Preface

Using Extended Memory

APS requires a minimum of 3 Mbytes of extended memory (XMS). T extended (XMS) memory, add the following command to your CONFIG.SYS file:

Type: DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS

If the file HIMEM.SYS is not located in your root directory (C:\), you must specify the directory path to the file so DOS can locate the file (for example, DEVICE = C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS).

If you use HIMEM.SYS, we strongly recommend that you increase the number of available XMS handles (NUMHANDLES) to 128. To do this add the following line to your CONFIG.SYS file.

DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS /NUMHANDLES=128

After you enter this command and save the modified CONFIG.SYS file, restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

For more information about installing the extended memory manager, refer to the ReadMe file included with this software. This file is located in the directory in which the APS executable resides.

Note Be sure to add the following line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT:

C:\DOS\SHARE.EXE

Using Expanded Memory

o use

1–4

Use of expanded memory decreases APS performance; therefore, it is not recommended. If you still choose to use expanded memory, follow the EMS 4.0 and VCPI specifications so that APS can use the expanded memory successfully (for example, DEVICE = C: \DOS\EMM386.EXE).

Determine if you can use expanded memory by referring to the chart on page 1–3. If you use a memory manager that is not 100% compatible, your computer may lock up when you attempt to run APS. Contact your local computer software vendor to determine what requirements your memory manager meets.

Installing the Software

Note If an EMS handler (such as EMM386) is installed, it must follow the EMS 4.0 and

VCPI specifications. If it does not, contact the manufactur r

elease. If you ar

Configuring the Windows Drivers (INTERCHANGE)

APS 6.0 and above uses part of the INTERCHANGE software product, Catalog Number 5850-WKTS. This software supports the use of Data Highway Plus (DH+) and DH-485 protocols, in addition to DH+ WHO functionality. Y complete INTERCHANGE software through the internal INTERCHANGE executables shipped with the APS software. For more information on the INTERCHANGE software product contact your local Allen-Bradley representative.

INTERCHANGE software is an Application-Programming Interface (API) that provides a host computer (MS-DOS operating system with or without Windows) with a library of functions and executable commands. INTERCHANGE software lets multiple applications (such as APS and 6200 Programming Software) share a single common interface module to communicate with various devices on DH+ and/or DH-485 networks.

Configuring the Drivers From a DOS Environment

To configure the INTERCHANGE drivers from a DOS environment, verify that the following statements are included in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:

SET ABIC_CONFIG=C:(INTERCHANGE directory) PATH=%PATH%;C:(INTERCHANGE directory);

Note If this was a new installation, the default INTERCHANGE directory is

\RSI\IC\BIN. If you installed INTERCHANGE over a previous version, the default directory is \ABIC\BIN.

Activating the INTERCHANGE Drivers

You must activate the INTERCHANGE drivers from a DOS environment. To do this, edit the INTERCHANGE components. If a Windows driver has already been configured, we recommend verifying the settings to meet your requirements. Additionally, verify that the following statement is included in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:

CFG_KT.INI file contained in the directory containing your

CALL (INTERCHANGE directory)\ABICRUN.BAT

Note If this was a new installation, the default INTERCHANGE directory is

Installing the Software

To edit the file, do the following:

1. At the DOS prompt type:

edit C:(INTERCHANGE directory)\CFG_KT.INI

Note If this was a new installation, the default INTERCHANGE directory is

\RSI\IC\BIN. If you installed INTERCHANGE over a previous version, the default directory is \ABIC\BIN.

2. A description of INTERCHANGE is provided along with the driver

initialization templates. To activate an interface card, edit and uncomment an option(s) by removing the semicolon at the beginning of the line. The following examples show an unedited and edited initialization file for the 1784-KT interface card. A listing of the available files begins on page 1–14.

Preface

Understanding Ladder Logic Programs

Ladder logic is a graphical programming language based on electrical relay diagrams. Instead of having electrical rung continuity, ladder logic is looking for logical rung continuity. A ladder logic diagram identifies each of the elements in an electromechanical circuit and represents them graphically how your control circuit operates before you actually start the physical operation of your system.

input instructions output instruction

] [

]/[

The ladder logic program you enter into the controller’s memory contains bit (relay logic) instructions representing external input and output devices. It also contains other instructions, as described in the Instruction Set Refer

As your program is scanned during controller operation, the changing on/off state of the external inputs is applied to your program, energizing and de-energizing external outputs according to the ladder logic you have programmed.

( )

. This allows you to see

ence Manual.

4–2

To illustrate how ladder logic programming works, we chose to use bit (relay logic) instructions, since they are probably the easiest to understand. The three instructions discussed in this section are:

Examine if Closed (XIC)

] [

]/[

( )

Analogous to the normally open relay contact. For this instruction, we ask the processor to Examine if (the contact is) Closed."

Examine if Open (XIO)

Analogous to the normally closed relay contact. For this instruction, we ask the processor to Examine if (the contact is) Open."

Output Energize (OTE)

Analogous to the relay coil. The processor makes this instruction true (analogous to energizing a coil) when there is a path of true XIC and XIO instructions in the rung.

Keep in mind that operation of these instructions is similar but not equivalent to that of relay contacts and coils. In fact, a knowledge of relay control techniques is not a prerequisite for programming with ladder logic.

Example 1-Rung Ladder Logic Program

A ladder logic program consists of individual rungs, each containing at least one output instruction and one or more input instructions. The ladder rung that follows has two input instructions and an output instruction. An output instruction always appears at the right, next to the right power rail. Input instructions always appear to the left of the output instruction.

Preface

The status of the instruction is

From instruction, XIO instruction, and OTE instruction of our rung are all true. The true/false state of instructions is the basis of controller operation, as indicated in the following sections.

Logical Continuity

During controller operation, the processor determines the on/off state of the bits in the data files, evaluates the rung logic, and changes the state of the outputs according to the logical continuity of rungs. More specifically up the conditions under which the processor will make an output instruction true or false. These conditions are:

• When the processor finds a continuous path of true input instructions in a rung,

Types of Ladder Logic Connections

In a ladder logic diagram each of the input devices are represented in series or parallel logic combinations across the rung of the ladder. The last element on the rung is the output that receives the action as a result of the conditional state of the inputs on the rung.

Series Logic

Bit Status

In the previous section on logical continuity

, you have seen examples of series (AND) logic. This means that when all input conditions in the path are true, energize the output.

In the above example, if A and B are true, ener

gize C.

4–5

Advanced Programming Software User Manual

Preface

Parallel Logic

Another form of logical continuity is parallel (OR) logic. This means that when one or another path of logic is true, energize the output.

Example — Parallel Inputs

Input Branching

In the above example, if A or B is true, ener

gize C.

Use branching to form parallel logic in your user program. Branches can be established at both input and output portions of a rung. The upper limit on the number of levels which can be programmed in a branch structure is 75. The maximum number of simple instructions per rung is 128. (The maximum number decreases if the rung contains instructions with many parameters, or if complex addressing is used.)

Use an input branch in your application program to allow more than one combination of input conditions to form parallel branches (OR-logic conditions). If at least one of these parallel branches forms a true logic path, the rung logic is enabled. If none of the parallel branches forms a true logic path, rung logic is not enabled and the output instruction logic will not be true. Output is not energized.

Example — Parallel Input Branching

In the above example, either A and

4–6

or C provides a true logical path.

Output Branching

You can program parallel outputs on a rung to allow a true logic path to control multiple outputs. When there is a true logic path, all parallel outputs become true.

Example — Parallel Output Branching

Ladder Logic Program Basics

In the above example, either A or B provides a true logical path to all three output instructions.

Additional input logic instructions (conditions) can be programmed in the output branches to further condition control of the outputs. When there is a true logic path, including extra input conditions on an output branch, that branch becomes true.

Example — Parallel Output Branching with Conditions

In the above example, either A and D or to E.

and D provide a true logic path

Branching Combinations and Limitations

Use branching to avoid redundant instructions, speed-up processor evaluation, and provide more efficient programming.

APS allows branching combinations to be programmed in the fixed, SLC 5/01, SLC 5/02, SLC 5/03, and SLC 5/04 processors, and the MicroLogix 1000 controllers. (Note that the Hand-Held Terminal (HHT) does not allow nested input and output branches to be programmed in a fixed or SLC 5/01 processor.)

Extended Branching Versus Nested Branching

Using extended branches rather than nested branches is more ef

ficient and speeds up processor evaluation. Both of the examples shown below accomplish the same result; however, the extended branching example is evaluated approximately 1 ms faster than the nested branching example.

Ladder Logic Program Basics

Application Example – 4-Rung Ladder Logic Program

The following 4-rung ladder logic program uses the same 3 bit locations as our simple 1-rung diagram. It also uses an external input bit address and an external output bit address. Note that individual bits are addressed repeatedly

1 is addressed with an XIC instruction in rungs 1 and 4, and it is addressed with

B3/1 both an XIC and an OTE instruction in rung 2.

During normal controller operation, the processor checks the state of the input data file bits, then executes the program instructions individually, rung by rung, from the beginning to the end of the program; as it does, it updates the data file bits and energizes the appropriate output data file bits accordingly.

When the XIC instruction I:0/1 goes true (because an external momentary push button closes):

•

Rung 1 is evaluated as false, because XIC instruction B3/1

•

Rung 2 is evaluated as true. XIC B3/1 maintain continuity in the rung.

•

Rung 3 is evaluated as true.

•

Rung 4 is evaluated as true because XIC B3/1 device represented by OTE O:0/2 is energized.

Creating and Configuring Processor Files

Note that the currently selected processor type in the I/O configuration does not have to be set to an SLC 5/03 or SLC 5/04 processor for the read I/O configuration function to be performed. Only the current processor type as specified by the processor node address in the current online configuration must be an SLC 5/03 or SLC 5/04 processor.

The status line is updated and the updated processor I/O configuration is displayed on the screen when the following events occur:

• the current communication driver is successfully activated

• the online configuration specifies an SLC 5/03 or SLC 5/04 processor

•

APS successfully attaches to the processor

If the read of the auto configuration from the processor is successful, the information is stored in the I/O configuration for the current archive file.

If the attempt to read the auto configuration file from the processor the current online configuration, fails the message: ERROR ACCESSING

Configuring Speciality I/O Modules

When you use a specialty I/O module, you must indicate the type of module to APS. The configuration menu provides a list of available modules from which to select. Each module is pre-configured, so after selecting the module from the list you have the option of viewing its configuration by pressing [F9], SPIO Configuration. Alteration of the fields is not recommended since these fields are pre-configured. However, if you select a module not listed, you may be required to alter some of the fields. Refer to your specialty I/O module user manual for more information regarding the required parameters.

To configure a specialty I/O module not listed, do the following:

1. At the I/O Configuration menu (refer to page 5–4

Allows you to tell the system the number of input/output words and lets you designate the number of words you want to scan. The scanned input/output values must be less than or equal to the maximum in order to maximize your I/O scan. For example, a 1746NI4 Analog Module has 4 input channels. If you set the scanned input words to 2, the I/O scan will only scan the first 2 input words; thus optimizing your I/O scan. The same method can be used for any other module that has more than 1 input and/or output word associated with it.

Allows you to designate the number of words in the configuration file. You must specify this before modifying the G file. The valid range is 1 to 256. See page 5-5 for more information.

Effects of Processor Type Changes

Creating and Configuring Processor Files

Almost any program written for an SLC 500 fixed controller, SLC 5/01, or SLC 5/02 processor may be used in an SLC 5/03 or SLC 5/04 processor. However, some programs may contain instructions (for example, MSG, REF, SVC, and HSC) that must be altered or removed before the program will run in the SLC 5/03 or SLC 5/04 processor. APS creates an “error/warning” file that provides you with information you can then use to correct any problems. An explanation of the conversion error file begins on page 5–11.

Advanced Programming Software User Manual

Preface

Converting an SLC 500 Program to a MicroLogix 1000 Program

The following will occur when you attempt to convert an SLC 500 program to a micro program:

• SLC 500 program files are either expanded automatically or must be deleted

manually to meet the MicroLogix 1000 controller’s fixed program file structure.

For example, if the SLC 500 program has program files 0–3, program files 4–15 will be automatically added when the program is converted to a MicroLogix 1000 controller. All program files that are added will be empty ladder files. All existing program files will not be modified by the conversion.

If the largest program file number in the SLC 500 program is greater than 15, all program files are maintained when converting the program to a MicroLogix 1000 controller. However, you must delete all program file numbers larger than 15 before the program can be saved. Rungs in program files greater than 15 can be cut and pasted to valid micro files before the “extra” program files are deleted.

• Invalid instructions in the program will be flagged as errors. These instructions

must be removed before the program can be saved.

• Invalid addressing and/or invalid addresses in the program will be flagged as

errors. This addressing and/or addresses must be modified or removed before the program can be saved.

• All forces are removed.

• SLC 500 data files are either expanded or deleted automatically to meet the

MicroLogix 1000 controller’s fixed data file structure.

5–10

For example, if data file N9 is present in the SLC 500 program, it will be deleted when converting the program to a MicroLogix 1000. In addition, if data file N7 has 200 elements (N7:0 to N7:199), all elements greater than N7:104 will be deleted when converting the program to a MicroLogix 1000.

On the other hand, if data file N7 has 50 elements in the SLC 500 program (N7:0 to N7:49), elements N7:50 to N7:104 will be added when converting to a MicroLogix 1000. All added elements will be zero.

All data in the SLC 500 program files that are within the MicroLogix 1000 controller’s fixed structure will remain unchanged when converting to a MicroLogix 1000, except for the following status file elements:

Status File Bit will be set to

S:0/8 0 S:1/5 1 S:2/4 0 S:5/8 0

Viewing the Conversion Error File

When you create a program for a specified processor and later change the processor, APS checks for advanced programming instructions, structures, addresses, and addressing modes not permitted in some processors. An “error/warning” file is created if any of the above items are detected. You must correct all of the errors before you can successfully save the file.

For example, this file is created if an SLC 5/03 processor configuration is selected for a program and you later modify the processor type to be a fixed controller or an SLC 5/01 processor.

Creating and Editing Ladder Program Files

This chapter discusses how to create and edit program files. Considerations for creating a program file include:

• naming the file, and creating and naming subroutine files

• creating and deleting data files

• editing program files – inserting and modifying rungs, instructions, and

branches and searching for instructions.

•

radices used in APS

This chapter also discusses the Advanced Editing function that allows you to cut, copy, and paste rungs in a ladder program.

Certain status file elements are required for program operation. Refer to the

Instruction Set Refer

ence Manual for more information.

Preface

Creating Ladder Program Files

Once you have created a processor file (refer to chapter 5) and placed it in the appropriate directory, you can name the program file and create subroutine files as needed.

The program files for the micro controllers are allocated as shown in the table below.

You can use files 4 and 5 for user subroutines; however, if your MicroLogix 1000 program contains a HSC interrupt and/or an STI, the controller uses files 4 and 5, respectively, to service the interrupt.

Using the Command Line Instruction Entry Feature

You can enter an instruction mnemonic and any parameters visible from the ladder display from the command line. This feature allows you to enter one instruction and its address at a time. For example:

While entering the parameters, if you omit a parameter by typing two consecutive commas, the parameters typed are entered into the instruction and you are prompted for the remaining parameters.

Instructions that Must be Entered Using Command Line Entry

There are several new instructions that are only available through command line entry. They are: SIN, COS, T and XPY.

Instructions that Cannot be Entered Using Command Line Entry

Because of the uniqueness of some instructions and their operands, the following instructions’ operands cannot be entered using the command line entry:

AN, ASN, ACS, A

TN, LN, LOG, ABS, DEG, RAD,

• Message (MSG) — SLC 5/03 and SLC 5/04 instruction only

• Service Communications (SVC) — SLC 5/03 and SLC 5/04 instruction only

• Refresh (REF) — SLC 5/03 and SLC 5/04 instruction only

Exception — When entering the PID instruction, only the first three instruction operands may be entered. You cannot enter the control block parameters from the command line.
