Programming Lessons
Please
note: The lessons are a download
and you will receive the link in
your email , if you should have
your lessons in about 1hr-2hrs after
payment has been received.
These are
the same lesson that we sell
with our PLC trainer, the are
made for a DL05 but can work
with any CPU. The plc trainers
are a small investment in your
future. Along with some training
(self taught) you can make a
very good living for yourself
and your family and have a fun
exciting career.
This is a
series of lessons that is for
the beginner programmer just
learning how to program and
the seasoned engineer that is
looking to improve their skills,
we are covering everything from
simple pointers to advanced
moves and data manipulation.
We are
trying to teach you something
you can not get in a manuals,
the manuals are great and you
should read them, but what we
are teaching you will not get
out of a manual, we are trying
to mimic the machines that you
will be working on or building,
this is where the real value of
the lessons are... you will have
a understanding on why and how
the logic is working and you
will be able to come up with
your own logic in no time at
all.
With over
a total of 59 pages (pdf) on
just the lessons and 4
programs this will give you the
knowledge that you need. These
can also be converted to
any Automation Direct CPU.
1) Basic intro: Download,
go online, viewing program,
making a simple program,
Installing software, features of
the DirectSoft software and
testing program.
2) PLC Cycle Scan's: How
the PLC's looks at the logic and
decides what needs to happen
next, this is important if you
plan on any 'automation', this
is over looked by many and they
have a hard time understanding
the full concept of programming,
the PLC’s don’t change their
mind… its always the same so
once you learn how to read their
mind you can tell what its going
to do next.
3) Basic intro:
Instructions, monitoring the
program, shortcuts, software
features
4) Flip-Flop: One
momentary input, turning on and
off a single output.... you will
need this someday
5) Recording actions with a
PLC: In this lesson we
will cover on how to record and
play back (in sequence) an event
or series of actions (inputs)
then play them back as outputs…
if you are old enough you can
remember the old game Simon
Says, this is similar to that by
randomly pushing the
buttons/inputs then switching to
the play back mode the PLC plays
back the buttons you just pushed
then the same sequence you
pushed them.
6) Drum Sequencer: (mimic
a washing machine), Learn how to
use sequence programming
7) Shift, Accumulator and
Increment: Loading
accumulators and shifting
8) Stage Programming:
This is a very good programming
tool and will come in handy for
many machines
9) Program
Structure/Subroutines:
Help with designing the program
10) Several sample programs with
documentation
Lessons 4 through 9 have
programs wrote with comments so
you can see everything that is
happening and how... with the
PDF's you will learn a TON.

Lesson 5:
Grinding Machine ProgramIncludes
PLC Program
This lesson simulates a grinding machine by
running a table up and down and into the
grinder (resurfacing grinder) it will run in
automatic if the correct conditions are
made.
Lesson 6:
Tracking Parts on a Conveyor Line
Includes PLC Program
Learn how to track a part that is moving
down a production line or conveyor, by
tracking parts you can determine when to
remove a rejected part, speed up or slow
down line speed, run the program/machine in
manual or automatic.
Lesson 7:
Pump Sequence Program
Includes PLC Program
This lesson we turn on and rotate vacuum
pumps depending on the wear (hrs ran) and
the need from production. Pump Sequencing,
you will learn how to program a series of
pumps and have them automatically cycle on
and off (one at a time), so you keep even
ware on the pumps and cycle them depending
on and off depending on the pressure switch
settings, all three pumps will run if the
press is not enough and cycle off as
pressure gets closer to set point, using
this is they way to be introduced into the
real world of programming and trouble
shooting.
