I just recently transferred from DCS programming to PLC
programming. Will be working mostly with AB products.
While we have a mix of PLC5 and SLC500's it is mostly
the PLC5's I will be working with.
Spent a lot of time reading the manuals the last
couple of weeks and looking over this board also. Just
happened on the board through a Yahoo search. Have to
say I really enjoy reading the posts here.
The one item I cannot find in the manual or so far on
this board with respect to the PLC5 is on the subject
of editing. I understand there is offline, online in
program mode and online in run mode.
I would assume offline you can do anything that is legal
within the constraints of ladder programming, correct?
What can you not do in online programming mode that you
can do offline?
What can you not do in online run mode that you can do
in online program mode.
Can someone just tell me quickly the major can and cannots
of ladder programming in the three modes?
Also if ladder is considered a programming language is it
an assembled, compiled or interpereted language? Or none
of the above.
