Internal and Real I/O Assignment of PLCs

I/O address assignment table for real inputs and outputs

It is an important step in the implementation and programming organization stages. The I/O assignment tables documents and organizes all of the work done so far. It shows which PLC inputs are connected and which PLC outputs drive what output devices. Here is also where internals are assigned, including counters and timers. These are the … Read more

How to Create Flowcharts and Output Sequences for PLC Programming

A combination of logic gates and contact symbology.

Flowcharting is an approach used to plan a program after a detailed written description has been created. A flowchart is an illustration that documents, analyses, and communicates information. It also describes the operational process in a sequence. The flowchart shown in Figure 2 is a simple example. The chart shows a simple flowchart. Each step … Read more

Program Organization and Implementation for PLC Programming

Electromechanical relay circuit diagram

When programming or implementing a control system, organization is key. A larger project will require more organization, especially if there are multiple people involved. A successful control solution is not only about organization. It also requires the ability to implement it. Programmers must be able to understand the PLC control task, the controlled devices and … Read more
