As you may know, we have created hundreds of very informative lessons on PLC programming.
We have worked in the Step7, TIA Portal and Factory I/O software environments.
In this lesson, we are going to not only introduce a new PLC but also a new PLC programming environment.
Allen Bradley has been around for over a century and supplies many components of automation such as solenoids, resistors, terminal blocks, circuit breakers, surge protectors, motors and drives and much, much more.
Allen Bradley PLCs came to the scene around 1970. Rockwell International acquired Allen Bradley in 1985 but the name Allen Bradley persists.
Allen Bradley PLC’s are among the most widely used in the industrial arena. This lesson is going to get you familiar with the software environment and the initial creation of a project so let’s get started.
In this lesson, we continue where we left off in the lesson titled: An Introduction to Allen Bradley Using Studio 5000 Logix Developer.
That lesson had us launching software, opening the create dialog and making some selections that created our base project.
We’ll start by opening and rev...
In this lesson, we are going to add a discrete output module and discuss the different configuration options and the information that can be found on various tabs.
We will have an in-depth discussion about the Configuration tab and the ability to change the state of each output when the proce...
We are then going to add an analog module and start going through the many configuration options. We’ll explain the options and what they mean for you as a programmer.
We’ll talk about some best practices and discuss why we follow those practices. With the many configuration options per chann...
