Integrated practice provides an opportunity to perform tasks using the skills obtained during the training.
Student Materials
Your primary document is this student manual, which contains the topic outlines and exercises. Use this manual to follow presentations, jot notes, and complete your exercises. The student package for this course also contains the materials listed on the cover sheet of the student manual.
Application Overview
During the course, hands-on practice is provided using a real world spot cooling application. The project controls a two-compressor cooling unit that cools a large work area. Outside air is pulled in through an outside air damper, cooled, and directed through zone dampers:
Compressors
<;=J
I Temperature
Sensor
o ut side Air
Dam per

Zone 1
Zone Dampers
I(l
Zone 2 Zone 3 Zone 4
The system operates as follows: Push buttons start and stop the cooling unit. When the unit starts, the outside air damper opens (turns on), a thermostat controls the compressors, and an adjustable timer starts timing: The timer limits the length of time that the system can run. The timer is simulated through ladder logic and a thumbwheel and LED on the workstation.
Rev. October 1999

Course Overview
The area cooled by the unit is divided into four cooling zones, each with its own air damper: A push button in each zone opens (turns on) the damper of that zone. The timer resets each time a new zone damper opens. Due to system limitations, only two dampers can be open at a time.
As you progress through the course, you will use three different versions of the project: cool_I, cool_2, and cool_3: In the cool_l project, the damper for zone 1 automatically opens when the system turns on. In the cool_2 and cool_3 projects: The dampers for zones 1 and 2 automatically open when the unit turns on. A call for cooling in a third zone automatically closes the zone that was open the longest.

Before You Begin
Key Terms
Radix (Base): The quantity of characters available for each digit of a number in a numbering system. For example, in the decimal (base 10) system, 10 characters, 0 to 9, are available for each digit. The following table compares different radixes:
Radix
Binary Octal Decimal Hexadecimal ASCII
Available Characters
Example
000000111101 1735 989 300 \03\00 1101
o or 1
Oto 7 Oto 9 Oto F 256 character set
Bit: A digit in the binary radix (0 or 1). A bit may represent the state, on or off, of a discrete I/O device. Word: In the SLC 500 system, 16 bits in sequence. For example, the 16 bits representing the 16 points of an I/O module comprise one word. Element: A word or group of words that work together as a unit. For example, a 32-point I/O module uses two words of memory. Those words work together as one element. File: A group of related elements. For example, all the elements representing inputs comprise the input file.

Interpreting Bit Instructions Using RSLogix 500 Software
What You Will Learn
Given an RSLogix 500 project, you will be able to perform these actions: Interpret bit instructions Determine logical continuity Change processor modes
Before You Begin
Processor Operating Cycle

The processor operating cycle, or scan, occurs as follows:
Program file 2 is executed. Input modules are read.
Output data is sent to output modules.
Processor housekeeping, such as status file update, is performed.
Communication takes place with other devices.
Logical Continuity
A ladder logic rung is divided into two parts: conditional instructions and output instructions:
Conditional Instructions Output Instruction(s)
Rule: If there is a path of true conditional lnstrueflons, the rung is true and the output occurs.

What You Will Learn
Given an RSLogix 500 project, you will be able to interpret comparison instructions.
Before You Begin
Comparison Instructions
Comparison instructions are input instructions that test the relationship between two values, Source A and Source B: Source A is a word address. Source B is a word address or a constant. The following table outlines the function of comparison instructions:
This instruction Name Equal Not Equal Less Than Less Than or Equal Greater Than Greater Than or Equal ... Mnemonic EaU NEa LES LEa GAT GEQ Is true when Source A is ... Equal to Source B Not equal to Source B Less than Source B Less than or equal to Source B Greater than Source B Greater than or equal to Source B
Limit Test (lIM) Instruction

The Limit Test instruction is an input instruction that tests whether a value is within or outside of limits: If the test value is a constant, the limits are word addresses. If the test value is a word address, the limits are either word addresses or constants. The following table outlines the function of LIM instruction:
If the low limit is ... Less than the high limit Greater than the high limit The LlM instruction is true when the Test value is ... Between or equal to ether of the limits Equal to or outside the lim~s

4. DAMPER ZONE 3 turns on when either N7:15 or N7:16 equals 3. When either of those conditions are met, OFF_DELAY _ZONE_ 3 is enabled, setting the DN bit immediately. The DN bit, in turn, turns on DAMPER - ZONE -3. 5. DAMPER_ZONE_3 turns off 0.80 seconds (0.01 x 80) after both N7:15 and N7:16 are no loner equal to 3. 6. As long as COMPRSSRS_ENABLE is on, STAGE_1_COMP turns on whenever N7:21 (supply air thermostat) is greater than or equal to N7:8 and greater than N7:9. 7. When either COMPRSSRS_ENABLE turns off, or N7:21 is less than or equal to N7:9, STAGE_l_COMP turns off. Once STAGE _1_ COMP is on, the GEQ instruction no longer affects rung continuity. Rung 2:11 sets up a deadband (N7:8 minus N7:9) for each compressor. The compressors cool down the air by the deadband amount before turning off and do not turn on until the air heats back up by deadband amount. This prevents the compressors from cycling on and off due to small temperature changes.

What You Will Learn
Given an RSLogix 500 project, you will be able to interpret data handling instructions.
Before You Begin
Data Handling Instructions

Data handling instructions enter (move) a source value(s) into a destination: Elements or groups of elements are moved. Data may be converted to a different radix. Source values remain unchanged.
Key Terms
Mask: A binary value used to exclude selected bits of a word from being operated on by an instruction. File: As used in instructions, a block of consecutive elements within a data file that are operated on by an instruction. A # in front of an address designates it as the start of a file.
Example: File Usage

The recipe for a specific product is stored in an integer file that starts at #N7:0 and includes 50 elements, N7:0 to N7:49.
Binary Coded Decimal (BCD): A numbering system (radix) in which groups of four bits represent a specific digit.
Example: Binary Coded Decimal

The bits TWl/O-3 represent the first digit of a thumbwheel input; the bits TWl/4- 7 represent the second digit of a thumbwheel input, and so on.

3. The integer in N7:15, representing the zone open the longest, is moved to N7:16, replacing the previous integer in N7:16. The integer representing the zone whose button was pushed is moved into N7:15, replacing the previous integer in N7:15. 4. The status of bits 9, 11, 13, and 15 from 0:2.1 are written to the corresponding bits in N7:13. 5. When all the zone dampers are closed (off), N7:13 equals zero, making Rung 2:1 true. When true, Rung 2:1 moves the integer 1 into N7:15 and the integer 2 into N7:16. This opens the dampers for zones 1 and 2, ensuring that at least two dampers are open at all times. 6. N10:0-13 are moved to N7:0-13. In this project, N10:0-13 stores default project parameters, and N7:0-13 contains the values actually used by the ladder logic. If the values in N7:0-13 are changed, cycling the processor from Program to Run mode resets the default values. 7. When true, Rung 3:0 converts SET_COaL_TIME to an integer value and places the result in C5:2.PRE, the counter's preset value. 8. Rung 3:2 takes the accumulated value of C5:2, converts it to BCD, and displays the result in TIMER_DISPLAY.

Interpreting Program Control Instructions Using RSLogix 500 Software

What You Will Learn
Given an RSLogix 500 project, you will be able to interpret program control instructions.
Before You Begin
Processor Operating Cycle

The processor operating cycle, without program control instructions, occurs as follows: Program file 2 is executed. Input modules are read. Output data is sent to output modules.
Processor housekeeping, such as status file update, is performed.
Communication takes place with other devices.
Key Terms
Subroutine: A program file that performs a specific task. For SLC 500"'" processors, program files 3-255 are subroutines.
Example: Subroutine Usage

Loading a recipe Performing a calculation Cleaning a vat Purging a system Emptying a tank Packing and sealing a carton
Rev. October 1999
.~ 1999 AllenBradley Company, Inc. r47sicn
10-2
Interpreting Program Control Instructions Using RSLogix 500~ Software
Non-Retentive Output Instruction: A rung-output instruction that continually controls the state of the output. Whenever the rung changes state (to true or not true), the output turns on or off.
Example: Non-Retentive Output Instruction

OTE - When the rung is true, the output is energized. When the rung is false, the output is not energized.
Retentive Output Instruction: A rung-output instruction that sets the state of the output only when the rung is true. Whenever the rung is not true, it does not control the state of the output.
Example: Retentive Output Instruction

OTL - When the rung is true, the output is energized. When the rung changes to false, the output is not changed.
Program Control Instructions

The following table outlines how program control instructions affect the processor operating cycle:
Instruction Name
Jump to Subroutine
Mnemonic
JSR
Function
Causes program scan to jump to a different program file and resume scanning at that point Marks the beginning of a subroutine but has no effect on rung continuity or program execution Note: The SBR is an optional instruction. Used in a subroutine to return program scan to the program file from which the subroutine was initiated Note: The RET is an optional instruction. Causes program scan to jump to a rung marked by a LBL and resume scanning at that point Marks the point at which program scan resumes after a JMP has been executed Marks the beginning or end of an MCR zone, which can be used to turn off non-retentive outputs regardless of rung continuity Returns program scan to rung 2:0 without scanning the remaining rungs Halts program execution based on input conditions

Subroutines
A JSR instruction interrupts the execution of a program file to perform a specific task (subroutine). When the task has been performed, program scan resume at the rung after the JSR:
Program File 2
Subroutine
One subroutine can also direct program execution to another subroutine. This procedure is called nesting:
Program File 2
Subroutine 2
Subroutine 3
MeR Zones
MCR instructions arc used in pairs to mark the start and end of an MCR zone:
If the rung with the MCR instruction that starts the zone is ...
True False
Then all non-retentive outputs within the MCR zone are ...
Turned on or off according to rung continuity Turned off regardless of rung continuity
Rev. October 1999
' 1999 Allen-Bradley Company, Inc. r47sicn
10-4
Keep tbese points in mind wben interpreting MeR instructions: The MeR instruction is not a substitute for a bard-wired master control relay. TOF timers will time within an MeR zone regardless of the state of tbe zone. If an unmatcbed MeR instruction exists in tbe project, the END instruction is used to mark tbe end of the MeR zone.

Lesson Forcing Inputs and Outputs Using RSLogix 500 Software

What You Will Learn
12
Given an RSLogix 500 project, you will be able to force inputs and outputs on and off.
Before You Begin
When to use Forcing

Forcing can be used for any of the following situations: Checking the field wiring Checking functionality of field output devices Testing a portion of the program logic Simulating inputs that have not been wired
Factors to Consider Before Using Forcing

Consider these factors before forcing: Potential danger to personnel Machine response to forced I/O Possible effects on other portions of the machine/process Company policy concerning forcing I/O (Is authorization required?)
Safety Precaution
A'ITENTION: Use EXTREME CAUTION when using forcing. All
force functions can result in sudden machine movement, possibly injuring personnel or damaging equipment. If forces are established, enabling forces will enable all forces without prompting. If forces are enabled, any additional forces will take effect immediately. Before proceeding, verify the status of forces, verify that you are online to the correct processor, notify personnel of the proposed changes, and take adequate safety precautions.

Rules for Forcing

These rules apply when forcing: Forces apply only to real inputs and outputs. If forces are established, enabling forces will enable all forces without prompting. If forces are enabled, any additional forces will take effect immediately. Forces are saved and downloaded with a project. The input force file modifies the data that is received from the input modules, and the output force file modifies the data that is being sent to the output modules:

This exercise provides you with different troubleshooting scenarios that require forcing. Determine whether to force the specified point on or off and the force point. Directions: 1. Go online to the cool_2 project residing on your workstation. (If you did not restore and/or download the project from the exercise disk, do so at this time.) 2. The push button STOP has failed. A. Force that device so the cooling unit runs while a replacement part is obtained. B. Using your workstation, verify that ON_COMMAND turns on regardless of the condition of STOP. 3. OUT_DAMPER is not operating and you want to verify that the problem is with the field wiring/device. Force OUT_DAMPER to check its operation. 4. A faulty input temperature probe is causing STAGE_2_COMP to remain on, possibly overheating the unit.
A. Force STAGE_2_COMP until the temperature probe can

be repaired. B. Turn up SUP _AIR _THERMSTAT all the way. Does the data file value of STAGE _2_COMP reflect program logic or the condition of the force. Check XIC STAGE_2_COMP on rung 2:11. 5. ON_PB_ZONE _3 has failed and the zone requires cooling. Decide whether to force ON PB ZONE 3 or - DAMPER_ZONE _ 3 and force the point.

Example: Memory Corruption Fault

A power source produces line transients that exceed specifications, corrupting the project. All outputs turn off and the processor displays as DEFAULT when viewed through Who Active.
Correcting Noise-Related Problems

The following factors most often produce memory corruption and other noise-related problems: Improper grounding Power transients and fluctuations Miswired communication networks Interference from I/O devices, especially inductive loads Excessive heat
Grounding
Determine if the system is properly grounded: Is paint stripped from all points of contact between the SLC 500 chassis and the mounting' plate? Are ground wires proper size and length? Are ground wires routed away from power wires and potential noise generating devices? .

Inputs and Outputs

Determine if inputs and outputs may be producing electrical interference: Is the power source same for chassis power supply and I/O devices? Are inductive devices properly suppressed? Are modules properly seated and locked?
Heat
Determine if excessive heat may be causing memory corruption: Do chassis have required space for convection cooling? Is enclosure ventilated if ambient temperature is very hot? Is processor protected from hot spots?
Here's How
To troubleshoot noise-related problems: As your instructor demonstrates these procedures using the following examples, follow along in the 1747 SLC 500 Programmable Controllers Troubleshooting Guide. Example One Malfunction Report: The entire system periodically shuts off and must be restarted. The shut-down does not follow a pattern and a similar system at another location does not experience the problem. Example Two Operator reports the following: "The system works fine, except the speed of the output conveyor never changes in response to commands from a pressure sensor."

Exercise
In this exercise, you will diagnose malfunctions of the cool_2 project and determine if they are noise-related. Directions: Determine which of following the malfunctions are noise-related. Discuss your results with the rest of the class: 1. Malfunction Report: The system timer always fails to reset when the damper for zone 3 opens. 2. Operator reports the following: "The system works fine except that every now and then the compressors shut off before the desired temperature is reached." The compressors turn on or off in response to an analog temperature sensor. Operators from other shifts report the same problem. The problem does not occur on a similar system in a different building. 3. Malfunction Report: The damper for zone 4, which uses I/O from a remote I/O chassis, sometimes fails to open in response to the on push button. One operator noticed that the problem is more pronounced when the overhead, electric crane is in operation. 4. Operator reports the following: "The damper for zone 3 occasionally fails to fully open, restricting the supply of cooling air." While investigating the problem, you observe that the damper consistently energizes when it should, but sometimes fails to fully open, causing the problem.

1. The problem is probably not noise-related because it always occurs. 2. The problem is probably noise-related because it is intermittent: the problem occurs "every now and then," the problem occurs on different shifts, and the problem does not occur on a similar system. 3. The problem is probably noise-related because it is intermittent. The remote I/O cable may be improperly wired or placed in a poor location, picking up noise from the electric crane. 4. The problem is probably not noise-related because the output is energizing when it should. The damper is probably sticking or jamming.

Troubleshooting and Maintaining Integrated Practice Using RSLogix 500 Software

What You Will Learn
Given a malfunctioning SLC 500'" system, you will produce an operational system and perform routine project maintenance.
Exercise
After a routine maintenance shut-down, you are assigned to test and verify that the cool_3 project operates correctly. Additionally, engineering has provided a hard-copy markup of ladder logic changes that you must make on line once the system is up and running. As you proceed with the exercise, follow these guidelines: Correct any problems you identify. Clear any faults that may occur. To assist in determining the addresses of symbols, display the cross-reference report and sort it by symbols. Perform forcing procedures as needed. Make the recommended edits online. If required, use the backup copy of the cool_3 project, included on the exercise disk. Directions: 1. Go online to the cool_3 project of your workstation. 2. Test the operation of the cool_3 project by completing the
following checks:
A. Place the processor in Remote Run mode. B. Verify that DAMPER_ZONE_l are open (on). and DAMPER_ZONE_2
C. In thumbwheel SET_COOL_TIME, of 60 minutes.
enter a time interval
D. Press START and verify that OUT_DAMPER opens (turns on). E. Verify that TIMER_DISPLAY is incrementing. (It increments is one minute intervals.) AIR_TEMP _GAGE is calibrated so that each one VDC equals
lOe.
F. Verify that analog output AIR_TEMP _GAGE correctly registers the temperature supplied by analog input SUP AIR THERMSTAT:
Rev. October 1999

Troubleshooting and Maintaining Integrated Practice Using RSLogix SOON Software
When SUP _AIR_THERMSTAT is all the way to the left, AIR_TEMP _GAGE indicates zero (0 C). When SUP _AIR _THERMSTAT is all the way to the right, AIR_TEMP _GAGE indicates full scale (100 C). and
G. Verify that the first compressor, STAGE_l_COMP, FAN turn on at 35 C.
H. Verify that STAGE _1_ COMP and FAN turn off at 30 C. I. Verify that the second compressor, STAGE_2_COMP, turns on at 50 C.
J. Verify that STAGE_2_COMP turns off at 45 C.

K. Momentarily turn on (then off) ON_PB_ZONE_3
and
verify the following: DAMPER_ZONE_3 DAMPER_ZONE_2 verify the following: DAMPER_ZONE_ 4 opens (turns on) DAMPER_ZONE _1 closes (turns off) opens (turns on) closes (turns off)
L. Momentarily turn on (then off) ON_PB _ZONE _4 and
M. Momentarily turn on (on then off) ON _PB_ZONE _1 and verify the following: DAMPER_ZONE_l DAMPER_ZONE_3 opens (turns on) closes (turns off) and
N. Momentarily turn on (then off) ON_PB_ZONE_2 verify the following: DAMPER_ZONE_2 opens (turns on) DAMPER_ZONE_ 4 closes (turns off)
O. Verify that the following occurs when the timer times out:
To expedite the time-out, in SET_COOL _TIME, enter a value one minute greater than the current display on TIMER DISPLAY. STAGE_l_COMP off and STAGE_2_COMP, if on, turn
After the compressors turn off, outside air damper closes
3. Once the system checks out according to Step 2., create a custom display that monitors the following addresses: B3:0/5 I:1.0TWl (in hexadecimal radix) N7:22 N7:23 N7:24 C5:2.PRE 4. In N7:23, enter 15.
