At times, we may need to convert a real or fraction value to an integer for use in our programs. In this lesson we will explain a simple trick to get the result that we are looking for. The first step in the process of this conversion process is truncation. We will then simply use the 16 bit lower value of the output address to get the integer value. Let’s watch this lesson and we will explain how to make the conversion.
Sometimes we need to get data from one place in our PLC Program to another. Oftentimes, to do this, we will use the Move instruction. In this lesson we will discuss what parameters are needed to fulfill the instruction, what the Move instruction does, and what you can’t do with the Move instructi...
In some instances, you may want to energize multiple outputs using a single input. We discuss different ways to do this and settle on a particular method. While there are many ways to handle this task, we demonstrate the easiest integration of this feature. This method is not only easy to employ,...
In many factory environments, the need to vary the value in a single set-point exists. This need may be based on some internal programming or external action. Whatever the mechanism, in this lesson, we will start programming this function.
Our set-point change will be based on some internal t...
