Elements with PLC Connection

Top  Previous  Next

*-***

 

Most elements of TrySim have to be connected to one bit or several bits of the PLC. Therefore an interface panel exists within the edit mask, in which you may input the operand. If you have made a symbol table you might enter the symbol as well.

You may connect all the elements to each bit of the areas inputs, outputs, markers and data bits.

 

Whether the bit is read or written depends only on the function of the element. Reading elements, e.g., indicators, will evaluate the state of the bit after the end of the PLC cycle. Writing elements, e.g., limit switches, will set the appropriate bit at the beginning of the PLC cycle.

 

If you have set up a symbol table, the comment to the symbol is also displayed on the edit mask. There you can modify the comment, the modification will be taken over into the symbol table. The symbol is displayed as well, but you cannot modify it because of reasons of consistency. To do this you have to open the symbol table.

 

You will have all the connections from the machine to the PLC clearly displayed within the address table.
