Ladder Programming Elements A ladder program consists of programming elements. These elements consist of input conditional contacts and commands as well as output commands. 5.1 Condition Elements A Condition can be entered in any of the first five insert positions (left to right) of a rung. When all the conditions in any one path in a rung are TRUE, then the rung condition becomes true Normally Open Condition This condition is true when the bit pointed to by the address is true (1 or high). This condition supports the following addresses: 1. Inputs IN:1 IN:8 2. Outputs OUT:1 OUT:8 VITAL Systems, Inc. Page 9 Doc. Rev

12 3. Binaries BIN:1 BIN:40 4. Integers REG:1.x REG:25.x where x = Timers TMR:x.DN, TMR:x.EN, TMR:x.TM where x = Counter CNT:x.DN, CNT:x.EN where x = Control Bits CB:1 - CB:25 8. Control Word Bits CW:1.x CW:62.x where x is Normally Closed Condition This condition is true when the bit pointed to by the address is False (0 or low). This Condition supports the following addresses: 1. Inputs IN:1 IN:8 2. Outputs OUT:1 OUT:8 3. Binaries BIN:1 BIN:40 4. Integers REG:1.x REG:25.x where x = Timers TMR:x.DN, TMR:x.EN, TMR:x.TM where x = Counter CNT:x.DN, CNT:x.EN where x = Control Bits CB:1 - CB:25 8. Control Word Bits CW:1.x CW:62.x where x is Compare Conditions There are six compare conditions: =, >, <, <=, >= and NEQ. These conditions expect two arguments labeled Argument 1 and Argument 2. In a mathematical statement, Argument 1 will be on left Side and Argument 2 will be on right side, i.e., Argument 1 < Argument 2, Argument 1 >= Argument 2, etc. Possible Arguments are: 1. Integer Constant ( ) 2. Integer file (REG:1 REG:25) 3. Control Word file (CW:1 CW:62) 4. Timer Accumulators (TMR:1 - TMR:25) 5. Counter Accumulators (CNT:1 - CNT:10) VITAL Systems, Inc. Page 10 Doc. Rev

13 5.2 Result Elements A Result Element can only be entered in the far right insert position of a rung. When the rung condition becomes true, the result element becomes true Output/Coil Contact This command sets the addressed bit to true or false including the output bits. When the rung condition is true, the addressed bit or output is set to true (1 or high) and with rung condition false, the bit or output is set to false (0 or low). This command supports the following addresses: 1. Outputs OUT:1 OUT:8 2. Binaries BIN:1 BIN:40 3. Integers REG:1.x REG:25.x where x = Control Bits CB:1 CB:25 5. Control Word Bits CW:1.x CW:62.x where x is Output/Coil Latch Contact This command sets the addressed bit only to True including the output bits. When the rung condition is true, the addressed bit or output is set to true (1 or high). If the rung condition is false, the bit or output is left unchanged. This command supports the following addresses: 1. Outputs OUT:1 OUT:8 2. Binaries BIN:1 BIN:40 3. Integers REG:1.x REG:25.x where x = Control Bits CB:1 CB:25 5. Control Word Bits CW:1.x CW:62.x where x is Output/Coil Unlatch Contact This command sets the addressed bit only to False including the output bits. When the rung condition is true, the addressed bit or output is set to false (0 or low). If the rung condition is false, the bit or output is left unchanged. This command supports the following addresses: 1. Outputs OUT:1 OUT:8 2. Binaries BIN:1 BIN:40 3. Integers REG:1.x REG:25.x where x = 0 15 VITAL Systems, Inc. Page 11 Doc. Rev

14 4. Control Bits CB:1 CB:25 5. Control Word CW:1.x CW:62.x where x is 0-15 Bits Output/Coil Pulse Contact This command is used to set a bit to true for the rest of the program scan. If the rung condition is true, the addressed bit will be set to true (1 or high). After the program scan is complete, the bit will reset back to false (0 or low). If the bit is already set, it will not change the bit s state. This command supports the following addresses: Binaries: BIN:1 BIN: On Delay Timer Command This timer starts timing when the rung condition becomes true. As long as the rung condition is true, the accumulator keeps on timing until it reaches the preset value. When Accumulator is equal to Preset, the Done bit is set and the Timing bit is reset. The Timer Enable bit follows the rung condition. The Done bit, Timing Bit and Enable Bit are reset as soon as the rung condition becomes false. The Accumulator is reset to 0 until the rung condition becomes true again. The time base is fixed at 10 msec. Rung State Enable Bit Timing Bit Done Bit Time ON Delay Timing Diagram VITAL Systems, Inc. Page 12 Doc. Rev

15 5.2.6 OFF Delay Timer Command This timer starts timing when the rung condition becomes False. The enable bit follows the rung condition. When the rung condition becomes false, the Accumulator increments at a rate of 1 increment per 10 msec, till it reaches the preset value or the rung condition becomes true again. The Done bit is a combination of Enable bit and the Timing bit. The two bits are OR together to generate the Done Bit. When the Accumulator is equal to the Preset value, the timing and done bits are reset. The time base is fixed at 10 msec. Rung State Enable Bit Timing Bit Done Bit Time OFF Delay Timing Diagram Retentive Timer Command The Retentive Timer begins to increment the accumulator when rung conditions become True. As long as rung condition is true the accumulator increments until it reaches the Preset value. However, unlike the TON, the RTO does not reset its accumulator when the condition goes false. Instead, a reset command is required to reset the accumulator and the done bit. Please refer to Timer/Counter Reset element. The Retentive Timer does not retain its accumulator value when you cycle the power of the controller or change the controller mode to program mode. The accumulator is retained only during run mode. The time base is fixed at 10 msec. VITAL Systems, Inc. Page 13 Doc. Rev

16 5.2.8 Up Counter Command This result will count the rung state transitions from 0 to the preset value. Each transition of rung condition from false to true is registered by incrementing the accumulator by 1. When the accumulator is equal to the preset value, the Done Bit is set to true. The Enable Bit follows the rung condition. To reset the counter, Reset command is used. At reset, the accumulator and the Done Bit are set to zero. Please refer to Timer/Counter Reset element Timer/Counter/FIFO Reset Command This element resets a timer, counter or FIFO/LIFO queue. A timer is selected by using a TMR in the address followed by the index of the timer. A counter is selected by using a CNT followed by the index of the counter. The FIFO/LIFO queue is selected by using the keyword FIFO or LIFO, both refer to the same queue. When the rung condition is true, the command will clear the accumulator of timer or counter specified. For a timer it will reset the done and timing bit. For a counter it will reset the done bit. For FIFO/LIFO queue, all data in the queue is set to zero, Queue count is set to zero, Queue full bit (CB:21) is set to false, Queue empty bit (CB:22) is set to true Move Command When the rung condition becomes true, this command moves data from a source location to a destination. Possible Source Arguments: 1. Integer Constant ( ) 2. Integer File (REG:1 REG:25) 3. Control Word File (CW:1 CW:62) 4. Timer Accumulator (TMR:1 TMR:25) 5. Counter Accumulator (CNT:1 CNT:10) Possible Destination Arguments: 1. Integer File (REG:1 REG:25) 2. Control Word File (CW:1 CW:62) 3. Timer Preset File (TMR:1 TMR:25) 4. Counter Preset File (CNT:1 CNT:10) VITAL Systems, Inc. Page 14 Doc. Rev

17 Send-Message Command This element sends a user defined message from one Super-I/O to another or to the Host. When rung condition becomes true, the 6 bytes of data in the send-buffer will be sent to the receive buffer of the destination device. The send and receive buffers can only hold values from 0 to 255 in each location. Send Buffer Receive Buffer Destination CW:17 - CW:22 CW:25 - CW:30 CW: FFL - FIFO/LIFO Load Command Parameters: Source Address or constant data to be loaded into the queue.reg:1..25, CW:1..62, TMR:x.ACC, CNT:x.ACC, Constant Size Queue Size. Range When Rung Condition goes True, the command will copy the source data to the bottom of the queue. Queue count (CW:24) is incremented by one. Queue Empty bit (CB: 22) is set to False. If the queue count (CW:24) becomes equal to Size, the FULL bit (CB:21) is set to true. If Queue is already full, no action is taken. Note: The Queue grows toward bottom. New data always end up at the bottom FFU - FIFO/LIFO Unload Command Parameters Queue Type: Select Fifo or Lifo operation when executing this command. Destination: Address of file to receive data from the queue. Reg:1..25, CW:1..62 Fifo Operation When Rung Condition goes true, The integer value stored at the top of the queue is copied to the destination address. The entire queue is then moved one step towards the top, decrementing the the Queue Count (CW:24) by one. The Queue Full bit (CB:21) is set to false. If Queue Count (CW:24) becomes zero, the Empty bit (CB: 22) is set to true. VITAL Systems, Inc. Page 15 Doc. Rev

18 If queue is empty, no action is taken. Lifo Operation When Rung Condition goes true, The integer value stored at the bottom of the queue is copied to the destination address. The Queue Count (CW:24) is decremented by one. The Queue Full bit (CB:21) is set to false. If Queue Count (CW:24) becomes zero, the Empty bit (CB: 22) is set to true. If queue is empty, no action is taken. 6. Programming Overview with Example 6.1 Ladder Programming Introduction Ladder programming is a controls industry standard for I/0 devices. A ladder program is created by inserting "Rungs" Just like connecting an electrical wire path from a left bus to a right bus. Between the two buses, logic conditions such as relay contact, AND, OR, Compare etc are added. A Result Element (traditionally a coil) is always inserted on the far right. This Result Element is executed if the logic state of all the input conditions in any one path of the rung equates to True. 6.2 Example Ladder Project Create New Ladder Project Click on the New Ladder Icon: A new ladder project/program with no rungs will appear Insert a rung Click on the Insert Rung Before or After Icon: or A new rung with no condition or result elements will appear Insert conditions into rung Insert two Normally-Open Contact Elements into rung #1. Click on the Normally Open Condition Icon:, then click the entry point on the rung where you want to place the element. A properties window will appear, address the bit accordingly and type a description of the element in the comment field. Repeat these steps for next Normally Open Condition. The result is shown below: VITAL Systems, Inc. Page 16 Doc. Rev

19 6.2.4 Insert Branch into Rung Click on the Branch button Icon: Select a beginning point for the branch on the desired rung by bringing the cursor over the entry point. The possible beginning and ending points will be show by red squares on the rungs. Click on one red square to select the beginning point for the branch. Then select the desired red box for the ending point of the new branch. A branch will appear between the two selected points Insert New Condition into New Branch Click on the Compare Button: Then click an entry point on the new branch where you want to place the element. A properties window will appear, Select the equal command with Argument 1 as REG:1 and Argument 2 as 50. Also, type a description for the element in the comment field. Below shows the result of this step: Insert Output(Coil) into Rung Click on the Output Button: Then click on the far right output entry point. A properties window will appear. Select the Normal Output Result and address the bit accordingly. Also, type a description of the element in the comment field. Below shows the result of this step: VITAL Systems, Inc. Page 17 Doc. Rev

20 6.2.7 Explanation of Example Ladder Program Output 1 will turn on when any one of the following conditions is true: 1. Input 1 and Input 2 are both true 2. Integer file at index 1 is equal to 50 If both of these conditions are false, then output 1 will be off. 7. Connecting to Super-I/O Device 7.1 Direct Connection via Serial Port Physically connect a serial cable between the serial port of desired Super-I/O device and COM port of the computer running SuperLogic software. Click the connect button from menu. From Device Connect pop-up window, select the COM PORT radio button and the corresponding radio button for the COM PORT number. Click on the Connect button on the pop-up window. The Super-I/O device will go "Online". This can be visually verified by the Online Status Indicator on left side of the workbench. VITAL Systems, Inc. Page 18 Doc. Rev

21 7.2 Connection through Serial-CAN Bridge The Super-I/O device can be used as a bridge between the computer and other devices on the DeviceNet network. Using one Super-I/O device, you can program/configure another Super-I/O or SuperAccum device that is on the same network. Here is how it works: you physically connect your computer serial port to a Super-I/O device using the same cable as used in the direct COM port connection. This device will act as a bridge. Click the connect button from menu. From device connect window, select the Serial- CAN Bridge radio button and enter the MAC-id of the desired Super-I/O device on the network. Leave the channel and server field blank. After selecting connect button from the window the desired Super-I/O device will go "Online". This can be visually verified by the Online Status Indicator on left side of the workbench. 7.3 Network Connection via DeviceNET Network interface For connecting to the Super-I/O device from your computer using DeviceNet, you will need either the PCI DeviceNET adapter (PN# PCI7202B) or the USB-CAN interface module (PN# UC8901). In addition to the driver software for these devices, you will also need to install the SuperCIS server. Please refer to the install CD that came with the card you purchased. Once you have properly installed the Network adapter, you can connect to any Super-I/O device on any channel of DeviceNET. Click the connect button from the menu. From the Device Connect pop-up window, select DeviceNet radio button and designate the MAC ID and Network Channel of the desired device. If the SuperCIS server is installed in a Remote computer, enter the computer name in the Remote Server field. After selecting connect button from window the Super-I/O device will go "Online". This can be visually verified by Online Status Indicator on left side of the workbench. 8. Configuring Super-I/O Device While online with a Super-I/O device click the Configure button from menu. The configuration pop-up window will appear. After making changes to the data, hit update button to send the new data to the Super-I/O device. The device will switch to program mode to save the changes in EEPROM. You will need to manually put the device in Run-Mode by clicking on the Run icon 8.1 Configuration Parameters MAC ID: This is the MAC-Id (or Node ID) of the device currently "Online" with. Range of MAC Ids are The MAC-ID can only be changed thru software for Super-I/O Rev- B only. Rev-C and higher have rotary switches for MAC-ID configuration. VITAL Systems, Inc. Page 19 Doc. Rev

22 Upstream: The MAC ID of the upstream Super-I/O or SuperAccum device. If there is no device upstream, then set this value as "None". By default the value is ONE, which means that the upstream MAC ID is one minus the MAC ID of this controller. Downstream: The MAC ID of the downstream Super-I/O device. If there is no device downstream, then set the value to "None". By default the value is +ONE, which means that the downstream MAC ID is one plus the MAC ID of this controller. BusSpeed: Network baud rates in KBPS, three possible DeviceNet network speeds (125K, 250K, and 500K). Currently this value cannot be changed by the user. ZoneCount: The number of motorized roller zones being controlled by Super-I/O device. This value is copied to the Control-Word file at index 15. The firmware for Super-I/O does not use this value for any operation. It is left to be used by the ladder program written by the user. If you are using the standard accumulation ladder program supplied by VSI, then the range of Zone Count number is 1 8. Singulation: If this box is checked, the Control-Bit file at index 14 will be true, other wise false. If you are using the standard accumulation ladder program supplied by VSI, then the following will be applicable: This box is "checked" if the accumulation program is to operate in "singulation" mode. Otherwise, the accumulation program will operate in "slug" mode. Merge Branch: MAC ID of branch Super-I/O Device connected to the merge. Must be set to NONE if no branch interlock is needed. Divert 1 (L) Branch: MAC ID of Branch controller connected to side 1 (or Left) of the Diverter. Must be set to NONE if no branch interlock is needed. Divert 2 (R) Branch: MAC ID of Branch controller connected to side 2 (or Right) of the Diverter. Must be set to NONE if no branch interlock is needed. Host-ID: MAC-ID of PC Host with DeviceNET interface adapter. If you are connecting a serial device, e.g., a Barcode Reader to the Super-I/O, you need to provide the Host-ID value so that the Super-I/O device can send the data coming from the serial device to the PC host over DeviceNET. If no serial device is attached, then leave this value to None. To receive the serial data (e.g., barcode) inside the ladder program, set the Host ID to None. In this case the data from serial port is copied to control word file CW:53 CW:62. Each word contains two characters of the serial data received. VITAL Systems, Inc. Page 20 Doc. Rev

23 9. Downloading Program to Super-I/O Device The SuperLogic workbench has integrated tools for downloading and monitoring ladder logic program. Once a ladder program is written or loaded in the workbench editor, click on the Download icon from the menu. If you are currently online with the controller, you will see the Download Progress pop-up window. Click on Start to start the download sequence. After the download is complete, the window will close. WARNING: Downloading a ladder program will delete the existing program stored in the Super-I/O controller. Once you hit the Start button to begin download, there is NO way to stop the process. The existing program in the controller will be deleted. VITAL Systems, Inc. Page 21 Doc. Rev

24 10. Monitoring a Program in a Super-I/O Device While connected to a Super-I/O device, from the file menu open the ladder file which is running on that device. Before monitoring a program ensure the device is in "RUN" mode. To start monitoring the program, click-on the shortcut icon or select "Monitor" from the Device Sub-menu. If the program that you loaded in the Workbench does not match the program running in the Super-I/O device, then the following error message will result: "Program Mismatch". If the program does match, then SuperLogic will begin monitoring the running program and the monitor indicator will show in blue color. During monitoring, if a Condition Element is red in color then its state is "True" at that moment. Otherwise, if the Condition Element is in the default green color then its state is "False". Also, the Result Elements are blue color when their state is "True" and the default green color when their state is "False". Similarly, while monitoring the program the INPUTS" and "OUTPUTS" State Indicators update the status of the devices 8 inputs and 8 outputs. The colors of the state indicators and ladder logic elements are valid only when the monitoring indicator is shown in Yellow color on the left pane of the workbench. To stop monitoring, again click-on the shortcut icon or select "Stop Monitoring" from the Device Submenu. VITAL Systems, Inc. Page 22 Doc. Rev
