We will now look at the click plc program control instructions available to you. The program control instructions will allow us to specify what parts of the logic get solved and when this happens. This will control how the PLC will scan and solve your logic in your program. Program control (flow) instructions in the Click PLC will utilize interrupts and subroutines. In the last post on Click PLC Compare and Math Instructions, we discussed interrupts. They can be timed or event (Built-in inputs on the CPU.) When the interrupt happens it will immediately go and solve the logic in the interrupt and then return to the instruction following the location that it was called. This can and will happen at any time throughout the scan of the PLC. More information can be obtained on our website.

The Click PLC has built-in system bit flashers. These bits will turn on and off at a fixed time cycle. 10, 100, and 500 milliseconds are available. There is also a 1 second, 1 minute, and one-hour system bit timer flashers. If you want different on and off times we can make this with two on-delay timers. In our example, we have bit C2 as the enable. This will be in series with the normally closed timer 2 to timer 1. This will be our on time for the repeat cycle time. The next rung will use the normally open timer 1 to activate timer 2. You will see that the timers will self reset each other. The output Y2 will be driven by the enable bit C2 and not timer 1 and not timer 2.

Many people ask me what I do when looking at a new PLC model or system. My approach is very straight forward and we will view this in action with this Click PLC series. This series will go from examining the hardware to programming and communicating to the PLC in several ways. If you have questions along the way, please let me know. More information can be obtained at our website. This includes all of the links mentioned in this video. https://accautomation.ca/click-plc-system-hardware The five steps to PLC program development will determine the inputs and outputs required in our system. 1 – Define the task 2 - Define the inputs and outputs 3 – Develop a logical sequence of operation 4 - Develop the PLC program 5 – Test the program There are several reasons why we are using the Click PLC.

Timers in the Click PLC have their own assigned memory location. You can have 500 timers in the Click PLC (T1 to T500). The current value of the timer can be found in addresses TD1 to TD500. A setpoint for the timer can be set directly or a memory area can contain the value. The setpoint can have the unit of measure of milliseconds, seconds, minutes, hours, or days. An OFF DelayTimer measures the time duration that begins with a transition of the enable rung from ON to OFF. At this transition point, the Timer increases the Current Value, when it reaches the Set Point, the Timer Bit is turned OFF. The current value of the timer can be set to be memory retentive. It will remember the current value of the timer by using a separate reset for the Timer instruction.

The CLICK PLC has a feature that indicates the pre-scheduled battery replacement date has passed. This will activate an error light on the CPU. In the CLICK programming software, go to the pull-down menu: Setup | Battery backup Setup Select the Battery Installed option. This will enable the low battery detection feature of the CPU. Select the Battery Replacement Notification. Enter the dates depending on what battery you are enstalling. The Click PLUS CR2032 battery is good for three years. Select OK and download the project file to the PLC. The ERR light on the CPU module will start flickering when the Anticipated Date has passed.

To install or replace the D0-MC-BAT (CR 2032) battery: 1. Power up the CPU for at least 10 minutes to charge the CPU’s capacitor prior to removing the battery. This will retain function memories. It is recommended you backup data memory before replacing the battery. Plan to complete the battery replacement within 10 minutes of power off. 2. Power off the CPU. 3. Pull out the battery holder. (This may require a small screwdriver to push in the tab and lift it when the unit is mounted.) 4. Put in a new battery, with the positive (+) polarity side facing the battery holder. This should snap into place. 5. Insert the battery holder into the CPU and push it all the way in. 6. Power on the CPU. 7. Make a note of the date the battery was installed. (Battery life is about 3 years.) The battery backup is now available.

The Copy selection is used to place a copy of a selected object on the Clipboard. The Clipboard saves the Copy in memory so it is available when the Paste function is selected. The Copy stays in the Clipboard until a new Copy is made of another object or until you Exit the program. The Copy and Paste options are located on the Edit Toolbar. Main menu | Edit | Copy or Paste... Alternatively, you can right-click the mouse on a selected object, or rung and select copy or paste.

Indirect addressing is supported in the Click PLC. The manuals refer to this as ‘Pointer Addressing’. It will utilize the DS registers as the offset value and can be used with the DS, DD, DF, DH, XD, YD, TD, CTD, and TXT data register memory types. Example: DS[DS100] – This will point to the address in DS that the DS100 value contains. If DS100 has a value of ‘5’ then the address will use DS5. As we change DS100 the corresponding address of DS will change as well. We can copy values to that location (logging) and read values from that location (retrieving). https://accautomation.ca/click-plc-logging-data-with-time-and-date-stamp/ Programming and examples of the Click and Click PLUS PLC series can be found at this URL: https://accautomation.ca/series/click-plc/ There are several reasons why we are using the Click and Click PLUS PLCs.

There are two ways to reset your Click to factory default. Using the Click programming software get connected to the controller that you wish to reset. Using the main menu | PLC | System, select Reset to Factory Default. When the Click programming software was installed, another program called CLICK Factory Default Tool was installed. Call this software up and select the appropriate serial communication for your Click model. Then select OK to reset to factory defaults.

CLICK PLUS PLCs provide simple programming with advanced capabilities like Wi-Fi communication and data logging. Programming can also be done through the Wi-Fi and Micro USB on the CPU. A card slot on the CPU unit can add additional cards to suit your automation control project. In our case, we have a combination of digital and analog inputs and outputs. Blank covers can be added if no card is used in the slot. These cards come in a variety of options. See the configuration guide. An antenna can be mounted directly to the CPU. If the WiFi signal is not strong inside the electrical cabinet, an external antenna can be used.

You can add up to 8 I/O modules for each CLICK PLC CPU unit. If using the C0-01AC CLICK power supply there are no power budget concerns. The 1.3 amps supplied more than adequately handle any possible I/O module configuration. If you are using the C0-00AC CLICK or external manufactures power supply there might be power budget considerations.

EasyPLC Software Suite is a complete PLC, HMI, and Machine Simulator Software package. This PLC learning package includes a Machine Simulator (MS). This virtual 3D world with real-time graphics and physical properties can communicate to several different programmable logic controllers. (PLC) The Machine Simulator (MS) is part of the EasyPLC software suite. It has many built-in machines that can be programmed. A simple conveyor is one of these machines. This is usually the starting point for learning about the machine simulator. This conveyor example will use two digital inputs and two digital outputs. A pallet will move back and forth on the conveyor. When the pallet is detected on each end it will stop and reverse direction. If both motors are started at the same time, the motors will burn up. This will be demonstrated. The machine simulator will allow you as the programmer to make mistakes before trying your program in the physical world. The Click PLC will be used to program this virtual machine. Using the Click Plus PLC, we will connect the simulator to the simple conveyor machine. This will be done using Modbus TCP (Ethernet) for communications. Using the five steps for program development we will show how this is programmed. Let’s get started. More information can be obtained on our website.
