PLC Programming Is Simple, Actually (FREE COURSE)

Free Ladder Logic Instruction Cheat Sheet: https://confidentplcprogrammer.com/la... Learn more about the Accelerated program: https://www.myplctraining.com/cppa-vs... Learn how to build a basic conveyor jug-filling PLC program from scratch in Studio 5000. Follow the process of defining what the machine should do, setting up inputs and outputs, creating tags, building ladder logic, testing the program in an emulator, and troubleshooting the system by tracing the logic back to its inputs. We cover how to define the machine sequence, including starting and stopping the process, moving a jug along the conveyor, detecting its position with PRX1 and PRX2, filling it with a water valve, and restarting the conveyor when the jug is full. You will also see how to configure I/O modules and aliases, create controller tags, use XIC, XIO, and OTE instructions, build seal-in logic, and create a timer that allows the jug to settle before the water valve turns on. Then, follow the program through Logix Emulate as the inputs, timer, conveyor motor, and water fill valve are tested. Finally, learn how to troubleshoot the system by tracing outputs through the ladder logic and back to the relevant inputs, and how to add comments to make the program clearer. 0:00 Defining the Conveyor Jug-Filling Process 3:35 Setting Up PLC I/O and Tags 8:01 Building the Ladder Logic 15:00 Adding a Timer and Completing the Filling Logic 20:04 Testing the Program in Logix Emulate 24:51 Troubleshooting the PLC Logic 30:25 Adding Comments and Reviewing the Program
