The sequence of the web washing machine.

Written by David Posted on 5 June, 2011 at 12:01

I have created a sequence in plc control to continue with the web washing machine. At first I thought about doing this sequence in vb.net, but I found it more interesting to do it with plc control. Thus, by the way, we see a sequence created in ST (Extruded Text). After having the washing machine running, I will do the monitoring in vb.net and the saving in MySql.

The sequence is a beta version that we will modify on the fly. In the next step I will create the interface in vb.net.

Within the program created in ST I have added an ACTION in LEADER. This allows us to make certain lines of code in another language for different reasons.

This is the program tree:
La secuencia de la lavadora web.

- Publicidad -

And this is the action:
La secuencia de la lavadora web.

The sequence is constructed with a CASE. When the plc reads the CASE statement, it reads the value of the variable that follows this keyword. It will then read only the code that is followed by this value and only that until the next scan cycle.

CASE <variable> OF
<Value>: Code
<Value>: Code
END_CASE

In the following example if Var = 1, M1 is set to true and if Var = 2, Y2 is set to FALSE. This is equivalent to doing a SET.

CASE Var OF
1:M1:=TRUE;
2:Y2:=FALSE;
END_CASE

Another thing I find interesting is the txtAviso variable. This variable of type STRING informs us of the current state of the machine, for the purpose of debugging I think it can be interesting.

Well and at the moment this is it, anything a comment. And I leave the program in the next post with the application in vb.net.
