9 1MRS MEN 2. Getting familiar with IEC Getting familiar with IEC KLVFKDSWHUSURYLGHVLQIRUPDWLRQDERXW Purpose and contents of IEC Configuration elements. POUs, programs, function blocks and functions. Variables and data types. Programming languages What is IEC 1131? The standard IEC 1131 has been established to standardize the multiple languages, sets of instructions and different concepts existing in the field of automatization systems. The great variety of PLC concepts has led to an incompatibility between the different PLC platforms and manufacturers. The result was a great effort to be made for trainings, hard- and software investments. IEC 1131 standardizes the programming languages, the interfaces between PLC and programming system, the sets of instructions and the handling and structuring of projects. The advantage of using IEC 1131 conform PLCs and programming systems is a portability of all platforms and the use of same concepts reducing costs for automatization systems. The standard consists of several parts and technical reports. The third part of the standard is dedicated to programming languages. Obviously this standard must have a great influence on the concept, structure, features and their handling of a programming system such as Relay Configuration Tool and of the manner of programming with it. The main changes that have come with IEC are: Declaration of variables is similar to the variable declaration in higher programming languages. Declaration of data types is possible. Global and local data can be differentiated. Programming means symbolic programming. For a better comprehension of and an easier programming, some IEC basis and their realization are described in the following sections Configuration elements An IEC conform PLC programming system should try to reflect the hardware structure or the structure of automatization problems. Therefore, IEC prescribes configuration elements, which have to be declared in the PLC program to reflect this structure. These configuration elements are basically: Configurations ABB Automation 9

10 1MRS MEN 2. Getting familiar with IEC 1131 Resources Tasks Configurations A configuration can be compared to a programmable controller system, e.g. a rack. In a configuration, global variables can be declared. The communication between several configurations is done with access paths using VAR_ACCESS. A configuration consists of one or several resources Resources A resource can be compared to a CPU which can be inserted in the rack. In a resource, global variables can be declared. In a resource, one or several tasks can be executed Tasks Tasks determine the time scheduling of the invocation of different programs associated with them. This means that programs have to be associated to tasks. The properties of the task determine the time scheduling. The information for the time scheduling is not available in programs and function blocks, but it is stored in the associated task. IEC describes different time scheduling which lead to three different task types: &\FOLFWDVNV are activated in a certain time interval and the program is executed periodically. (UURUWDVNV will be activated if an error occurs in a different task. (YHQWRULQWHUUXSWWDVNV are activated if a certain event has happened, e.g. a variable has reached a certain value POUs, Programs, function blocks and functions Program organization units - POUs Program organization units or POUs are the language elements of a PLC program. They are small, independent software units containing the program code. The name of a POU should be unique within the project. POUs must not be recursive. This means that the invocation of a POU should not cause the invocation of a POU of the same type. Formerly POUs were called program modules In IEC three types of POUs are distinguished referring to their different use: Functions Function blocks Programs Functions Functions are POUs with multiple input parameters and exactly one output parameter. They do not have any internal memory. Consequently, calling a function 10 ABB Automation

11 1MRS MEN 2. Getting familiar with IEC 1131 with the same values always results in the same return value. The return values can be either single data types or multi-element data types such as arrays or structures. IEC lists different types of standard functions: Type conversion functions, such as INT_TO_REAL Numerical functions, such as ABS. Standard arithmetic functions, such as ADD and MUL. Bit-string functions, such as AND and OR. Selection and comparison functions, such as SEL and GE Function blocks Programs Function blocks are POUs with multiple input and output parameters. They do have an internal memory. The value that a function block returns depends of the value of its internal memory. IEC lists different types of standard function blocks: Bistable elements such as SR and RS. Edge detection function blocks, such as R_TRIG and F_TRIG. Counters such as CTU and CTD. Timer function blocks such as TON and TOF. Programs are POUs which contain a logical combination of functions and function blocks according to the needs of the controller process. The behaviour and the use of programs are similar to function blocks. Programs can have input and output parameters as well as internal memories or variables. Programs must be assigned to tasks. )LJ 'LDJUDPRIWKHGHIDXOWWDVNZLWKWZRSURJUDPV Instantiation For reusing function block definitions IEC provides the possibility of instantiation. This means that the function block code body or a program is defined once and that its internal memory is allocated to different instances, different ABB Automation 11

12 1MRS MEN 2. Getting familiar with IEC 1131 memory regions. Each instance has an associated identifier and contains the input and output parameter and the internal memory of the function block or program. A function block can be instantiated in another function block or in a program. The instance name of a function block has to be declared in the VAR declaration of the program or function block where it is going to be used. Programs can only be instantiated within resources Declaration and instruction part of a POU Every POU consists of two different parts: The declaration part and the code body part. In the GHFODUDWLRQSDUW all necessary variables are declared. These variables are all variables, which are used while editing the PLC program. The LQVWUXFWLRQRUFRGHERG\SDUW of a POU is the part in which the instructions are programmed in the desired programming language Variables and data types 9DULDEOHV are used instead of direct addressing of memory regions in IEC conform programming systems. Variables are names or placeholders, which are given by the user and which are representing the corresponding data. The variable is assigned automatically to a memory region while compiling. IEC distinguishes different types of variable declarations e.g. VAR or VAR_INPUT. Variables with its properties are declared in the declaration part of a POU. The declaration consists basically of the variable name and the data type. The most important elements of a variable declaration are shown in the following example: VAR Variable type level : INT:=42 Name : data type := Initial value VAR_END End of variable declaration 'DWDW\SHV determine what kind of value the variable can have. Data types define the initial value, range of possible values and the number of bits. IEC distinguishes three kinds of data types: Elementary data types. Generic data types. Derived data types. (OHPHQWDU\GDWDW\SHV are pre-defined data types whose range of possible values and number of bits is prescribed by IEC Elementary data types are e.g. BIT, WORD, BOOL or DATE. *HQHULFGDWDW\SHV are data types, which include groups of elementary data types. They are called e.g. ANY_BIT or ANY_REAL. ANY_REAL includes e.g. the elementary data types REAL and LREAL. Generic data types are necessary to define what kind of elementary data types can be connected to inputs or outputs of functions or function blocks. If a function block can be connected with ANY_REAL it means that variables of the data types REAL and LREAL can be connected. 12 ABB Automation

13 1MRS MEN 2. Getting familiar with IEC 1131 'HULYHGGDWDW\SHV are user or manufacturer defined data types which can vary from PLC to PLC type. They are defined with a TYPE... END_TYPE declaration. Derived data types can be enumerated data types, subranges, structures or arrays. The most important elements of a user defined data type declaration are shown in the following example: TYPE Begin of data type declaration type1 : INT ( ) name1 : subrange data type type2 : type1 name2 : subrange data type END_TYPE End of data type declaration Programming languages IEC defines the syntax of 5 programming languages, prescribes a certain representation and describes the different elements that can be used in the language. The programming languages supported by can be differentiated by the physical appearance into 1 textual language and 2 graphical languages. The WH[WXDOODQJXDJH is Instruction List (IL). The JUDSKLFDOODQJXDJHV are Function Block Diagram (FBD) and Sequential Function Chart (SFC) Instruction List - IL A code body programmed in the textual language IL is composed of a sequence of instructions. Each instruction begins at a new line and shall contain an operator. Modifier and one or more operands are optional. Comments can be inserted at the end of a line using asterisks and brackets. Labels can be added at the beginning of a line if jumps are used. The manner how to edit IL and the basic characteristics of the programming language are described in the chapter Editing in IL on page Function Block Diagram - FBD A code body programmed in the graphical language FBD is composed of functions and function blocks which are connected with each other or with variables using lines. These lines can also be connected with each other putting together several information or multiplying the information. In FBD networks, it is not possible to connect outputs with outputs. The set of connected objects is called FBD network. Comments can be entered using asterisks and brackets. The programming language FBD has become a widely usable programming language for easy creating complicated networks with function or function blocks calls. The manner how to edit FBD and the basic characteristics of the programming language are described in the chapter Editing in FBD on page 41. ABB Automation 13

14 1MRS MEN 2. Getting familiar with IEC Sequential Function Chart - SFC A code body programmed in the graphic language SFC is composed of steps and transitions which are connected with directed links. Associated with each step is one or more actions and with each transition a transition condition. In a step the actions to be executed while the step is active are programmed. A step can be either active or inactive. A transition represents the condition in which the process can pass from one step to another. The action block can be any Boolean variable or another code body worksheet. The transition condition can be a directly connected Boolean expression or another code body worksheet. If you are editing another code body this code body is called detail. The set of connected objects is called SFC network. A typical SFC network forms a closed loop and should have one initial step. Simultaneous or alternative branches can be inserted in the SFC network. Comments can be entered using asterisks and brackets. The manner how to edit SFC and the basic characteristics of the programming language are described in the chapter Editing in SFC on page ABB Automation

15 1MRS MEN 3. Realization of the IEC Realization of the IEC KLVFKDSWHUSURYLGHVLQIRUPDWLRQDERXW Projects Libraries Data types POUs Configuration elements Project is a programming system based on the windows technology using the graphic user interface of MS-Windows. Therefore the IEC principles are mostly realized graphically with symbols and icons or dialogs are used where properties of elements can be set. A project represents the set of configuration elements, POUs, libraries and data types of one automatization system. This means that for realizing a PLC program you have to create a project, which contains all necessary elements. This project with its elements is represented in a tree structure, the project tree. )LJ 7KHSURMHFWZLWKLWVVXEWUHHV The subtrees which are always parts of the project tree can have one or several child elements Libraries Libraries in are other projects which have been announced as libraries. You can reuse the programs, function blocks, functions and the user defined data types of the library in the new project you are editing. Libraries have an own subtree in the project tree. )LJ 3URMHFWWUHHZLWKVXEWUHH/LEUDULHV ABB Automation 15

16 1MRS MEN 3. Realization of the IEC The subtree Libraries consists of two or more icons. The first icon is a directory node. The child element of this directory node represents an announced library. In Figure you can see the announced library RECLIB Data types Data types in are user defined or firmware data types. These data types have their subtree in the project tree where they can be viewed or edited. )LJ 3URMHFWWUHHZLWKVXEWUHH'DWDW\SHV The subtree Data types consists of two or more icons. The first icon of the subtree Data types is a directory node. The child elements of the directory node are the data type worksheets where the data types are edited. In Figure you can see the data type worksheet type POUs in In programs, function blocks and functions can be edited. These POUs are represented in the project tree with an own subtree: The subtree Logical POUs. )LJ 3URMHFWWUHHZLWKVXEWUHH/RJLFDO328V A POU consists of several worksheets. One set of worksheets builds one POUs. These worksheets are: A GHVFULSWLRQZRUNVKHHW where texts describing the POU for documentation purposes can be edited. These worksheets are optional. 16 ABB Automation

Therefore, the configuration elements available in the subtree Physical Hardware may differ from PLC to PLC. In general one or several configurations can be used in. In every configuration, one or several resources can be declared. Several tasks with their associated programs can be used within the resources. 18 ABB Automation

User interface supports full use of the mouse or the keyboard. For beginners it may be easier to start working with the mouse because it does not make necessary to learn the keyboard shortcuts. In rough industrial environments, the keyboard may be more appropriate. This tutorial explains both: the use of mouse and keyboard. In the next sections the general use of mouse and keyboard for the menu and toolbar are described. The use of the mouse and the keyboard in the different editors is described in the following chapters. The user interface you get having started consists basically of four parts: Menu, toolbar, main screen and status bar. ABB Automation 19

In the menu bar you find several submenus. The VXEPHQX)LOHcan be used to handle and to save all your projects. It contains also commands for printing, calling the pagelayout editor and preview. For the project tree editor the submenu 'File' has been extended with menu items for special operations. The VXEPHQX(GLWcontains all commands necessary for editing such as marking, choosing different working modes or cutting and pasting. The VXEPHQX6HOHFWLRQ has been implemented for selecting objects. The VXEPHQX2EMHFW is only available if you are using the graphic or the pagelayout editor. It is used to insert objects, which can be used in these editors. The VXEPHQX/D\RXWcan be used for designing what you get on your screen. You can display e.g. page borders or a grid for better organizing the content of your worksheets. 20 ABB Automation

It consists of one or two lines of different icons. The icons differ from editor to editor. In the context-sensitive help, each icon is explained. The toolbar has been implemented for realizing quickly often used operations with the mouse. In those cases one mouse click on a toolbar icon leads to the same result as doing several steps without the toolbar. In the toolbar two different parts can be distinguished: The general part and the specific part. The JHQHUDOSDUW contains icons, which are available everywhere in Relay Configuration Tool. The VSHFLILFSDUW contains icons, which can be used only in the editors. )LJ ([DPSOHRIDWRROEDULQ5HOD\&RQILJXUDWLRQ7RRO ABB Automation 21

In the subtree Data types and in the subtree Logical POUs new worksheets can be added ABB Automation 25

26 1MRS MEN 4. Getting started with Relay Configuration or unnecessary ones can be deleted. In the subtree Physical Hardware all configuration elements can be inserted. Programs can be associated to tasks. In the project tree editor a clipboard can be used with Cut & Paste. Furthermore, the specific part of the toolbar offers a quick realization of the main operations The graphic editors - easy programming in SFC and FBD The graphic editor is one of the editors which has been implemented for programming the code body worksheets of the POUs. Programming in SFC and FBD can be done. Mixing the programming languages is possible. Relay Configuration Tool checks all entries of the user so that only legal structures can be entered. While inserting new elements, the size of the already existing structures is adapted automatically. In the graphic editor general features, such as search and replace, cut & paste or drag & drop can be used. The specific part of the toolbar offers a quick realization of the main operations The text editor - easy programming in IL The text editors have been implemented for programming the code body worksheets of the POUs. Programming in IL is possible in the text editor. Text editors can also be used for entering user defined data types, I/O configurations or variable declarations. The handling of the text editors is similar to the handling of a normal ASCII-editor. Furthermore, some input dialogs ease the programming for novices who do not know the syntax of the languages. More experienced user may prefer typing the instructions. In the text editors, general features such as search and replace, cut and paste can be used so that a comfortable programming is possible. Furthermore, the specific part of the toolbar offers a quick realization of the main operations The pagelayout editor - rapid pagelayout styling for printing The pagelayout editor has been implemented for a rapid styling of pagelayouts. These pagelayouts are designed pages with an area in which the content of the code body worksheet is going to be printed. The objects you can arrange on your pagelayout are e.g. hierarchical page numbers, printing date and time or bitmaps. It is also possible to create different sets of objects, the so called environment items, which are available within a certain project or for a certain user. Furthermore, you can use several features, such as drag & drop. The pagelayouts that you have edited can be assigned to a whole project or to single worksheets so that you can decide whether you want to print the whole project with one pagelayout or with different pagelayouts. You can add a table of contents to your project documentation if you want. A preview can be used to view the result of a pagelayout and the assigned worksheet so that you can check it before printing. 26 ABB Automation

Calling the data type editor. Declaring user defined data types Ways how to declare variables in In, you have three possibilities to declare variables: Declaring a variable while editing a code body. Declaring variables using the variable editor. Declaring variables using the variable dialog. The first method means inserting a variable in a code body worksheet which has not been declared before. In this case, the dialog 'Automatic variable declaration' appears for declaring the variable. After confirming this dialog, the variable declaration is autoinserted in the variable worksheet and the new variable is inserted in the code body worksheet. This method is described in the corresponding chapters for the programming languages and SFC. The second method means declaring variables just typing the declarations in the variable editor. In this case, the menu item 'Variables As Dialog' in the submenu 'Layout' has to be unchecked. Doing a left mouse double click on an icon 'Variable declaration' in the project tree the variable editor with the corresponding variable worksheet is opened. The last method means using a dialog instead of the variable editor. In this case, the menu item 'Variable As Dialog' in the submenu 'Layout' has to be checked. Doing a left mouse double click on an icon 'Variable declaration' in the project tree the dialog 'Declaration of variables and FB instances' appears. The declaration of variables or function block instances can be done using this dialog Symbolic and located variables According to IEC variables are used for programming instead of direct addressing inputs, outputs or flags. In, either symbolic or located variables can be declared. A declaration of a symbolic variable consists of a variable name and a data type. A declaration of a located variable consists of a variable name, the variable location and a data type. An example of declaration of a symbolic and a located variable is shown in the following example: VAR name : data type := initial value ABB Automation 35

36 1MRS MEN 6. Declaring variables and user defined data types name AT%location : data type := initial value END_VAR The location of the variable consists of a location prefix and a size prefix. Location prefixes are I for inputs, Q for outputs and M for internal memory. Size prefixes are X for single bits, B for byte, W for word, D for double word and L for long word size. Located variables are stored at the declared logical address and it is up to the application programmer to check that no memory address is used twice. The initial value is optional. If no initial value is used, the variable is initialized with the default initializing value given by the PLC type when starting the program execution Global and local variables The scope of each variable, which is determined by the use of the variable keyword, is limited either to a POU or to the whole project. Therefore, two types can be distinguished: Local variables Global variables If a variable can be used only within a POU, it is called local variable. In those cases, the variable keywords VAR, VAR_INPUT and VAR_OUTPUT can be used. If a variable can be used within the whole project, it is called global variable. It has to be declared as VAR_GLOBAL in the global declaration and as VAR_EXTERNAL in each POU where it is used. It might be useful to declare all I/Os as global variables. In the global variable declaration they should be declared as located variables and in the VAR_EXTERNAL declaration of the POU they should be declared as symbolic variables. The typing effort in case of address changes is minimized doing it this way Variable declaration keywords Up to now we only considered one type of variable declarations: type 'VAR'. According to IEC , different types of variable declarations exist. For each type a different keyword is used, as you can see in the following table: Table Table of keywords for variable declaration blocks Keyword VAR Variable type / Explanation for internal variables which can be used only within a POU for declaring the instances of function blocks can be used for the declaration of directly represented and located variables in programs can be used for the declaration of symbolic variables can be used with the keyword 'RETAIN' for declaring retentive variables 36 ABB Automation

37 1MRS MEN 6. Declaring variables and user defined data types Table Table of keywords for variable declaration blocks VAR_INPUT for variables which are inputs to functions, function blocks and programs to give a value to the POU coming e.g. from another POU its value is only read within the POU can be used only for the declaration of symbolic variables VAR_OUTPUT for variables which are outputs to function blocks and programs supplies an output value for e.g. other POUs its value is written within the POU it is also allowed to read the value can be used only for the declaration of symbolic variables VAR_IN_OUT address of the variable is passed by reference the variable can be read or written typically used for complex data types such as strings, arrays and structures. VAR_EXTERNAL for global variables in the POU its value is supplied by the declaration of VAR_GLOBAL its value can be modified within the POU can be used only for the declaration of symbolic variables VAR_GLOBAL for global variables which can be used in all programs and function blocks of the project can be used for the declaration of directly represented, located and symbolic variables can be used with the keyword 'RETAIN' for declaring retentive variables END_VAR to finish a variable declaration block Global variables have to be declared as VAR_GLOBAL in the global variable declaration of the project and as VAR_EXTERNAL in the variable declaration of the POU Declaring variables via dialog For the next steps, let us assume that you want to declare local variables via dialog. 1RZLWLV\RXUWXUQ 'HFODULQJYDULDEOHVYLDGLDORJXVLQJWKHPRXVH 1.

As function blocks always have an internal memory, it is necessary to store its values for each time the function block is used to a different memory region. This is done using instance names. The instance name is declared in the variable declaration of the POU where the function block is going to be reused. In the following an example of a variable declaration for the function block FB_exam with two instances is shown: VAR drive1 : FB_exam 38 ABB Automation

39 1MRS MEN 6. Declaring variables and user defined data types drive2 : FB_exam END_VAR The function block FB_exam, whose code body has been defined somewhere in the project, has got two instances. The instance name of the first instance is drive1, of the second drive2. In the corresponding code body worksheet, you can use the function block FB_exam twice, entering in both cases the correct instance name. Function block instances can be declared via dialog as it is described in the section Declaring variables via dialog on page 37 of this chapter. Function blocks can be instantiated within programs or other function blocks. Functions can be called without instantiation because they do not have an internal memory. In, the instance tree shows all instances used in your project, as it is shown in the following example: 6 )LJ ([DPSOHRIDQLQVWDQFHWUHH In this example, there is one program instance of both of the programs PROTMEAS and CONTCOMO used in the tasks TASK1 and TASK2 respectively.

Modifier and operand are optional. A comment can be entered at the end of the line using brackets and asterisks. An instruction list with three instructions is shown in the following example: LD %IX2.2 (*input value*) ADD value (*add value*) ST %QX2.2 (*result of addition*) In the example, each instruction consists of an operator, an operand and a comment. For the following description, let us assume that you want to edit an instruction list, which loads the value of the variable start, defined in the variable worksheet IL_FBV, compare it with a different value and store it to the variable end. Both variables have been already declared as it is described in chapter Declaring variables and user defined data types on page 35. In this case, the data type of the variable 'end' has to be BOOL, because comparison can be either true or false. 1RZLWLV\RXUWXUQ (GLWLQJLQVWUXFWLRQVZLWKWKHPRXVH 1.

Saving the contents function name inpar2, inpar3 ST var1 The input parameter, which is declared at first in the variable declaration, has to be loaded in the first line of the function call. In the example, the first input parameter is inpar1. All other input parameters have to be used in the second line as operands separated by commas. The result is stored to the variable var1 as it is shown in the last line of the example. This way either standard functions or user defined functions can be called. )XQFWLRQEORFNV can be called using the operator CAL and the name of the function block in the operand field. Calling a function block needs more typing effort than calling a function. For the next section, let us imagine a function block with two input parameters inpar1 and inpar2 and two output parameters outpar1 and outpar2. The function block is called FB_exam. Its instance name is instance. A function block call consists of three parts: input parameter introduction, the proper call and calculating the output parameters. A call of the function block using the instance name FB_exam is shown in the following example: LD var1 ST FB_exam.inpar1 LD var2 ST FB_exam.inpar2 CAL FB_exam ST FB_exam.outpar1 ST var3 LD FB_exam.outpar2 ST var4 The proper function block call is composed of the operator CAL and the instance name of the function block. Do not forget to declare the instance of the function block in the variable declaration of the POU as it is described in the chapter Declaring variables and user defined data types on page 35.

Making a backup of your project files In you have the possibility to zip all project files into one archive file. Project files are all files that are necessary for a project, e.g. the project file 'projectname.pwt', the files with the code bodies and variable declarations and some internal files. Files, which are created during compilation, are optionally zipped, because they can be rebuilt using 'Build Project'. It is recommended to zip your files regularly, e.g. once a day, and to save your archive on a floppy disk to make sure that no loss of data occurs. For the next steps, let us assume that you want to zip a project named 'Project' into an archive file called 'proarch'. Archive files have the extension 'zwt'. 1RZLWLV\RXUWXUQ =LSSLQJWKHSURMHFWILOHVZLWKWKHPRXVH 1. Do a left mouse click on the menu item 'Zip/Unzip Project...' in the submenu 'File'.
