Hi everyone,
I am new here and to PLC programming, Im just studying the basics.
I am doing a practice exercise on an AB SLC 5/01
The Goal:
1) Start the motor from either of 2 non momentary switches
2) Stop the motor by pushing a stop push button
3) must have a maintained circuit.
4) make a green pilot light light up when the motor is energized
make a red pilot light light up when the motor is de-energized
So far I am using 3 rungs for my ladder.
first rung
XIC I1:1/0 XIO I1:1/2 (motor) O0:2/0
XIC I1:1/1 branch 1
XIC B3:1/0 branch 2
XIC O0:2/0 branch 3
my 3 branches come back to the fist rung before the XIO
Rung 2
XIC O0:2/0 (green) O0:2/1
Rung 3
XIO O0:2/0 (red) O0:2/2
This is what I come up with so far. Im not sure if Im quite on the right track with my addressing, I was thinking I might refer my input address for the lights from a bit file.
Any advice or direction is appreciated for this newbie.
Thnx
