Experiment 7: PLC Function Programming Using Ladder Logic
This video collection shows how to use the timer and counter functions of the Connected Components Workbench (CCW) software by Allen Bradley. This software can program the Mirco800 series PLCs along with touchscreens and ac variable speed drives. The software version used in this class is available for download from here. This software can create ladder logic programs, function block programs, and structured text programs. This lab activity will focus programming time delays using on and off delay timers. The videos will also demonstrate the use of the counter function for recording events. An example demostrates a state machine programmed in PLC ladder logic.
