Productivity 1000 Series PLC Array Functions Part 2

An array is a storage area for a group of common data type tags. They usually have some relationship with each other and need to be manipulated as a group. Last time we defined an array and use this in an indirect addressing program. It sequenced bits in an output card indirectly. In this second part we will be looking at the following instructions: Array Statistics (STA) – This will perform operations such as Summing, Averaging, Minimum Value, and Median Value on an Array. Copy Array (CPA) - Copy a block of 1 or 2-dimensional arrays into a destination array. Fill Array (FLA) - Copy a value to a block of array elements Shift / Rotate Array (SRA) - Concurrently Shift or Rotate values in an Array. Let’s get started with the Productivity 1000 Series PLC arrays part 2. More information can be obtained on our website. This includes all of the links mentioned in this video. http://accautomation.ca/productivity-1000-series-plc-array-functions-part-2 Previously in this Productivity 1000 Series PLC, we looked at the following: System Hardware http://accautomation.ca/productivity-1000-series-plc-system-hardware System Hardware Video https://youtu.be/epzgojtd57U Installing the Software http://accautomation.ca/productivity-1000-series-plc-installing-the-software Installing the Software Video https://youtu.be/gh5X7_EeCdg Establishing Communication http://accautomation.ca/productivity-1000-series-plc-establishing-communication Establishing Communication Video https://youtu.be/HWtN189JLgI First Program http://accautomation.ca/productivity-1000-series-plc-first-program First Program Video https://youtu.be/txr_wfd7y2w Documenting the Program http://accautomation.ca/productivity-1000-series-plc-documenting-the-program Documenting the Program Video https://youtu.be/WhYTCMRSzk8 Monitoring and Testing the Program http://accautomation.ca/productivity-1000-series-plc-monitoring-and-testing-the-program Monitoring and Testing the Program Video https://youtu.be/o9gdrrEMexw Online Editing and Debug Mode http://accautomation.ca/productivity-1000-series-plc-online-editing-and-debug-mode Online Editing and Debug Mode Video https://youtu.be/D-sDKMnw1gQ Numbering Systems and Tag Database http://accautomation.ca/productivity-1000-series-plc-numbering-systems-and-tag-database Numbering Systems and Tag Database Video https://youtu.be/s-TAWomBeIs Contact and Coil Instructions http://accautomation.ca/productivity-1000-series-plc-contact-and-coil-instructions Contact and Coil Instructions Video https://youtu.be/xMP9EEVlm1k Timer Instructions http://accautomation.ca/productivity-1000-series-plc-timer-instructions Timer Instructions Video https://youtu.be/egUnU8paLCA Counter Instructions http://accautomation.ca/productivity-1000-series-plc-counter-instructions Counter Instructions Video https://youtu.be/tEWAXWugxqI Math Instructions http://accautomation.ca/productivity-1000-series-plc-math-instructions Math Instructions Video https://youtu.be/xPJGC9LaYFc Data Handling Instructions Part 1 http://accautomation.ca/productivity-1000-series-plc-data-handling-instructions-part-1 Data Handling Instructions Part 1 Video https://youtu.be/ARK8F2q-kJU Data Handling Instructions Part 2 http://accautomation.ca/productivity-1000-series-plc-data-handling-instructions-part-2 Data Handling Instructions Part 2 Video https://youtu.be/3fvvfhy16SA Array Functions Part 1 http://accautomation.ca/productivity-1000-series-plc-array-functions-part-1 Array Functions Part 1 Video https://youtu.be/8ITrEWeBgPc There are several reasons why we are using the Productivity 1000 Series Controller. 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
