Productivity 1000 Series PLC First Program

We will now create our first program on Productivity. Last time we connected the Productivity 1000 Series PLC with our computer running the Productivity Suite Software. A micro USB and an Ethernet (RJ45) communication link was made to our programmable logic controller. We will now create our first program for our Productivity 1000 Series PLC. Our program will be a simple start-stop circuit for a motor. Here is a post that will explain the logic behind our program circuit. http://accautomation.ca/how-to-make-a-start-stop-jog-circuit-in-a-plc/ The latest Productivity Suite software version is 3.1.0.11. This is the programming software that we will be using to create our logic for control. Let’s get started. More information can be obtained on our website. This includes all of the links mentioned in this video. https://accautomation.ca/productivity-1000-series-plc-first-program 00:00 Productivity first program 00:20 Start the Productivity Suite Software 00:48 Productivity hardware 01:30 Productivity hardware configuration 03:12 Productivity tag database - Default tag assignments 04:55 Productivity create a program 08:12 Save productivity program 08:35 Transfer productivity program 08:50 Testing/monitoring productivity program Previously in this Productivity 1000 Series PLC, we looked at the following: System Hardware https://accautomation.ca/productivity-1000-series-plc-system-hardware System Hardware Video https://youtu.be/epzgojtd57U Installing the Software https://accautomation.ca/productivity-1000-series-plc-installing-the-software Installing the Software Video https://youtu.be/gh5X7_EeCdg Establishing Communication https://accautomation.ca/productivity-1000-series-plc-establishing-communication Establishing Communication Video https://youtu.be/HWtN189JLgI 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 – Autotuning – 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) is also known as MPU (Multi-Processing Units) because of the communication capabilities. https://www.accautomation.ca
