Introduction
The PLCs are designed to be relatively "user-friendly" so that electricians can easily make the
transition from all-relay control to electronic systems. They give users the capability of displaying
and trouble-shooting ladder logic on a cathode ray tube (CRT) that showed the logic in real time. The
logic can be "rewired" (programmed) on the CRT screen, and tested, without the need to assemble
and rewire banks of relays.
The existing push-buttons, limit switches, and other command components continue to be
used, and become input devices to the PLC. In like manner, the contactors, auxiliary relays,
solenoids, indicating lamps, etc., become output devices controlled by the PLC. The ladder logic is
contained as software (memory) in the PLC, replacing the inter-wiring previously required between
the banks of relays. If one understands the interface between the hardware and the software, the
transition to PLCs is relatively easy to accomplish. This approach to control allows "laymen" to use
the control without necessarily being expert computer programmers.
Plc Hardware
Programmable controllers have a modular construction. They require a power supply,
control processor unit (CPU), input /output rack (I/O), and assorted input and output modules.
Systems range in size from a compact design with limited memory and I/O points to systems that can
handle thousands of I/O, and multiple, inter-connected CPUs. A separate programming device is
required, which is usually an industrial computer terminal, a personal computer, or a dedicated hand
held programmer.
CPU contains microprocessor. The basic instruction set is a high level program, installed in
Read Only Memory (ROM). The programmed logic is usually stored in Electrically Erasable
Permanent Read Only Memory (EEPROM). The CPU will save everything in memory, even after a
power loss. Since it is "electrically erasable',' the logic can be edited or changed as the need arises.
The programming device is connected to the CPU whenever the operator needs to monitor, troubleshoot, edit, or program the system, but is not required during the normal running operations.
I/O module assembly contains slots to receive various input and output modules. The rack
can be local, combined with the CPU and power supply, or remote. Each rack is given a unique
address so that the CPU can recognize it. Within each rack, the slots have unique addresses. Power
and communication cables are required for remote installations. The replaceable I/O modules plug
into a back-plane that communicates directly with the CPU or through the cable assembly. Field
wiring terminates on "swing arms" that plug into the face of the I/O modules. This allows a quick
change of I/O modules without disconnecting the field wiring. Every module terminal also has a
unique address.
PLC Operation (PLC SCAN)
When running, the CPU scans the memory continuously from top to bottom, and left to
right, checking every input, output, and instruction in sequence. The scan time depends upon the
size and complexity of the program, and the number and type of I/O. The scan is in few milliseconds.
This short time makes the operation appear as instantaneous, but one must consider the scan
sequence when handling critically timed operations and sealing circuits. Complex systems may use
interlocked multiple CPUs to minimize total scan time. As the scan reads the input image table, it
notes the condition of every input, and then scans the logic diagram, updating all references to the
inputs. After the logic is updated, the scanner resets the output image table, to activate the required
outputs.

Introduction
Automation Studio is a unique circuit design, simulation, and project documentation
software package that meets the needs of engineers for Automation, Controls, and Fluid Power
applications.
Automation Studio is an innovative schematic capture, simulation and project
documentation software package for automation and fluid power systems design. A New Generation
of tools for the automation and fluid power industries.
Features
The Ideal Standalone Package for Easy and Integrated Circuit Design Multi-Document Projects.
i) Dynamic and Realistic Simulation in Full Color.
ii) Thousands of Symbols in Modular Libraries
iii) BOM, Parts Catalog and Database Link Interfaces to Programmable Logic Controllers
(PLCs) and Equipment
iv) A New Generation of Tools for the Automation and Fluid Power Industries
Automation Studio is intuitive and is the affordable application-oriented tool for integrators,
OEMs, engineers. All the expected features of a schematic design package are available in a userfriendly approach, shortening the learning curve and increasing productivity. With Automation
Studio, there is no need for additional editing software. It provides component libraries, drawing
tools, basic shapes and elements that allow you to create special symbols of any complexity and to
customize diagrams and project templates. Automation Studio can be equally useful for sales people
as well as for engineers.
Automation Studio is a completely integrated software that allows users to Design,
Document, simulate, and animate circuits consisting of various automation technologies including
Pneumatics, Hydraulics, PLCs, Sequential Function Charts (SFC), Electrical Controls, and many more.
Multi-Document Projects Automation Studio allows the creation of multi- document projects. This is
helpful when separating diagrams by functions and categories. During simulation, all diagrams
interact with each other. Users can also include other types of documents such as Word, Excel, or
any Windows-based application. This is useful when adding notes and instructions to a project.
Automation Studio is perfect for preparing designs and quotes. Projects can be presented to
customers dynamically through simulation, proving concepts and limiting risks during
implementation and start-up.
Troubleshooting with Simulation With intrinsic simulation features like pace control,
component color-coding and animation, designers can monitor the actual circuit Operation and find
faults that may occur. This helps functionally validate designs, a capability that no other CAD system
can even approach. Dynamic and Realistic Simulation in Full Color Automation Studio includes
simulation capabilities that meet the requirements of all the supported technologies. During
simulation, components become animated and lines are color-coded according to their states. Users
can also precisely monitor variable values, pressures, flows, and displacement values at any point in
a circuit simply by inserting measuring instruments or using the plotting functions. The simulation
pace can also be adjusted with functions such as Normal, Step by Step, Slow Motion, and Pause.
Thousands of Symbols in Modular Libraries Automation Studio's libraries incorporate
internationally recognized graphics standards, including ISO, DIN, IEC, and JIC standards. Each library
displays component categories in a comprehensive fashion. Simply browse through the list, select
then drag and drop the component onto the schematic. Make your Own Symbols, Components,
Page 14
Templates, and Libraries By using the standard components, the flexible drawing tools, and the
grouping function, you can create and customize your own libraries and templates. For training,
instructors can create libraries specific to their application, thereby limiting the number of
components to what is needed.
Customize Libraries for Increased Productivity By customizing symbols and libraries, this
allows designers and engineers to quickly implement projects that meet corporate specifications.
BOM, Parts Catalog and Database Link This feature makes it possible for you to generate
project documentation. Users can assign specific catalog data to each component; enter part
numbers, prices, descriptions, and all the technical data quickly and easily. They can also customize
and create reports. Furthermore, users can print or export information to another application such
as a spreadsheet, a word processor, or an inventory system.
The software allows printing to standard engineering sizes including ANSI A-E and ISO A4-A0.
Users can define title block contents, borders, map locators, bills of materials, and schematic scaling
factors. More information Communication to Controllers and Equipment via OPC and CANBUS.
To connect Automation Studio to the outside world, users can choose one of two options:
the I/O Interface kit or the OPC Client module. The Automation Studio I/O Interface kit is a
hardware solution that allows the user to connect 8 inputs and 8 outputs directly into a PLC I/O or
to real equipment such as relays, contacts, valves, sensors, etc. The OPC Client is a standard
software interface that allows Automation Studio to exchange data with any device for which an
OPC server software is up lied by its manufacturer. OPC turns automation Studio into a versatile I/O
simulator or a oft-PLC. For mobile applications, the use of an OPC - CAN bus server can allow an
interface between controllers and Automation Studio. I/O Interface Kit, OPC Client Module.
