Question | Answer |
---|---|
What does PLC stand for? | Programmable Logic Controller |
What PLC does our class use? | CompactLogix 5380 (5069 L306ERM) |
Controllers can operate in more complex systems via... | EtherNet or IP network |
4 Types of supported Programming | Ladder Diagrams, Structured Text, Function Block Diagram, Sequential Function Chart |
What is the End Cap? | The end cap covers the exposed interconnections on the last module in the system. |
What do we use to program the PLC? | The Studio 5000 Automation Engineering & Design Environment |
What does HMI stand for? | Human Machine Interface |
How many tasks does our PLC support? | 32 |
What is the MOD Power | System-side power that powers the system and lets modules transfer data and execute logic. |
What is the SA Power | Field-side power that powers some Compact 5000 I/O modules and field-side devices that are connected to them. |
Connections to the SA power bus use | A shared common |
A communication driver is made using | Linx-based software (RSLinx Classic Gateway) |
What is used to update the firmware | ControlFLASH |
What are the 3 modes | RUN, REM, and PROG |
When in RUN Mode | features like online editing, program downloads, and firmware updates are prohibited |
When Controller mode is set to REM what can you do | Remote Run, Remote Program, Remote Test |
What are the two methods to add local I/O modules to your project? | Discover Modules, New Module |
What does Electronic Keying do? | reduces the possibility that you use the wrong device in a control system |
What are the 3 Keying options? | Compatible Module, Disable Keying, Exact Match |
What are the conditions for Compatible Module | • Same catalog number • Same or higher Major Revision • Minor Revision as follows: – If the Major Revision is the same, the Minor Revision must be the same or higher. – If the Major Revision is higher, the Minor Revision can be any number. |
The Logix 5000 controller uses connections to transmit I/O data. These connections can be | Direct Connections or Rack-Optimized Connection |
The name of a tag is based on | The location of the I/O module in the system |
What is the address format (for actual I/O) | Location:Slot:Type.Member.bit Ex. Local:2:O.Pt00.Data |
What are the 4 Tag Types | Base, Alias, Produced, Consumed |
What is the minimum memory allocation for a Tag | 4 bytes |
Controller Tags are ____________ while Task Tags or Parameters are __________________ | Global data, Local data |
A _____________ lets you organize data to match your machine or process | User-defined Data type (Structure) |
an __________ creates multiple instances of a data type under a common tag name | Array |
Addressing Tag Data Format | Name[Element].Member[Element].Bit |
A/An ____________ lets you create one tag that represents another | Alias Tag |
Can operators be used to specify the subscript of an array | YES |
Use a __________ to override data that your logic either uses or produces. | Force |
How many tasks can the Logix 5000 controller run at a time? | 1 |
A different task can __________ a task that is running and take control. | Interrupt |
In any given task, how many programs can run at a time? | 1 |
If you want a section of your logic to run all the time use | A Continuous Task |
If used how many Continuous Tasks can there be? | 1 |
If you want a section of your logic to run at a constant period or multiple times within the scan of your other logic use | A Periodic Task |
If you want a section of your logic to run immediately when an event occurs use | An Event Task |
Our DC Input I/O Card | 5069-IB16F |
Our DC Output I/O Card | 5069-OB16 |
Our Analog Input I/O Card | 5069-IY4 |
Our Analog Output I/O Card | 5069-OF4 |
If you have too many tasks then | The continuous task may take too long to complete |
If a periodic or event task is triggered while another task is running, the __________ of each task indicates what the controller should do. | Priority |
How many Priority Levels does the CompactLogix have? | 15 Levels |
To share controller time between tasks... | Give them the same priority level, and it will switch back and forth every 1 ms |
If Task 's Trigger occurs while the Event Task is already running what happens? | The trigger is disregarded |
