Productivity 1000 Series PLC Drum Sequencer Instructions

The productivity series of PLCs has Drum and Sequencer instruction. Drum instructions are great tools. They mimic an electromagnetic drum sequencer. Have you ever seen the mechanisms of a music box? Ok, so it’s a little drum with pegs that catch and flick the chimes in a particular sequence to play whatever tune is on the drum. So in the PLC, you can have a drum driven by an event, (input from a limit switch or button), or by time. Sequencers are similar to drum instruction. The sequencer output can have up to 16 Boolean, Integer, or Numerical Tags per step. Drum instruction outputs are limited to the same 16 bit (Boolean) outputs. Each step in the sequencer can be defined by time or /and event and specified outputs can be set going into and out of the step. We will be discussing the drum and sequencer instructions in the Productivity Series PLC. Simple examples will be done to demonstrate the power of these instructions. Let’s get started. More information can be obtained on our website.

Here are just a few. - 50MB user memory - Can handle very complex applications easily. - 4 built-in communication ports – Easy connectivity to your network. - Data logging up to 32 GB on a microSD card - Add up to 8 IP modules to communicate to your field sensors. This will give you a total of 128 discrete IO points or 32 analog IO channels. - Free Software and 30 days of free training with every CPU from Automation Direct. - Interactive PLC Configuration Tool - Tag Names - Auto discovery IO – Physical I/O tags will be generated based on each module’s position in the base. - I/O Modules have QR codes under the wiring cover. This can be scanned so you can have the latest specifications / wiring diagrams for the module. - Limitless PID – Auto tuning – Individual or Cascade Mode - etc - Web Server and Mobile Access - Advanced Software instruction set The Productivity 1000 series of programmable logic controllers currently has all of these features built into the P1-540 CPU. This CPU (Central Processing Unit) are also known as MPU (Multi Processing Units) because of the communication capabilities. http://www.accautomation.ca
