We will now take a first look at PLC programming, focusing on the virtual controller, the PLC SIM program. Here we will carry out the programming of the previously prepared default hardware configuration and an empty program. Currently there is no code in it yet - we will deal with this later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Launching the simulator<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now, we need to start up our virtual controller. Compared to the real controller, where you have to connect the power supply, here, in the case of the SIM virtual PLC, you simply have to start it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We see the next two steps: selecting in the project tree that we want to start the virtual driver, and going to the section marked with a red box, where we click on the icon resembling a blue TV, which results in the virtual driver being turned on. Tia Portal is configured in such a way that enabling this driver is simultaneous with performing a download, i.e. uploading all the data from the project to this device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Permission to simulate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We also have simulation permission beforehand - this is key. The project must include a suitable PLC (S7-1200 with firmware at least v4.0) and the simulation permission ticked, which is one of the steps of the<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

These are the steps we need to follow to initialise the simulation on the virtual PLC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deactivation of interfaces<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Przechodz\u0105c dalej, pami\u0119tajmy, \u017ce pracujemy albo na sterowniku rzeczywistym, albo na sterowniku wirtualnym. Nie mo\u017cemy korzysta\u0107 z obu jednocze\u015bnie, o czym informuje nasze okno pop-up z opcjami 'Enable Simulation Support’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

. Musimy si\u0119 na to zgodzi\u0107 \u2013 to jest nasz dziesi\u0105ty krok. Klikamy na przycisk 'OK’, akceptuj\u0105c tym samym, \u017ce wszystkie inne interfejsy w naszym komputerze b\u0119d\u0105 niedost\u0119pne w tej chwili, gdy pracujemy z wirtualnym sterownikiem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Download<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Je\u015bli ju\u017c mamy zgod\u0119 na prac\u0119 z wirtualnym sterownikiem, pojawia si\u0119 kolejne okno z opcj\u0105 'Load Preview’, podsumowuj\u0105ce, co zostanie wgrane do naszego sterownika. To obejmuje r\u00f3wnie\u017c uruchomienie samego sterownika wirtualnego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Widzimy opis poszczeg\u00f3lnych element\u00f3w, takich jak dioda rajstop, informuj\u0105ca nas, czy sterownik pracuje i wykonuje program. Je\u017celi dioda jest pomara\u0144czowa, to oznacza, \u017ce nie wykonuje \u017cadnych dzia\u0142a\u0144. Dodatkowo, mamy kolumn\u0119 ze zbiorczym stanem b\u0142\u0119d\u00f3w oraz przyciski umo\u017cliwiaj\u0105ce zatrzymanie lub wznowienie wykonania programu. Ca\u0142a procedura uruchomienia programu rozpoczyna si\u0119 po wcze\u015bniejszym naci\u015bni\u0119ciu niebieskiego telewizora, kt\u00f3ry wcze\u015bniej zaznaczyli\u015bmy. W oknie 'Load Preview’ klikamy 'Load’, a wcze\u015bniej mo\u017cemy zapozna\u0107 si\u0119 z informacjami pojawiaj\u0105cymi si\u0119 w kolumnach 'Target’ i Message’. Po tym kroku procedura wgrania zako\u0144czy\u0142a si\u0119.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PLC commissioning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Punkt dwunasty to decyzja o uruchomieniu sterownika, gdzie musimy wybra\u0107 opcj\u0119 'Start Module’, poniewa\u017c domy\u015blnie jest ustawione na 'No Action’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Oznacza to, \u017ce wszystko zostanie wgrane do sterownika, ale sam sterownik pozostanie w trybie RUN, czyli nie b\u0119dzie wykonywa\u0142 naszego programu. Pami\u0119tajmy, aby zmieni\u0107 to ustawienie, klikaj\u0105c czarny tr\u00f3jk\u0105t, jak wskazuje czerwona strza\u0142ka, i wybieraj\u0105c opcj\u0119 'Start Module’ z listy. Nast\u0119pnie klikamy przycisk oznaczony jako punkt trzynasty, czyli 'Finish’, aby zako\u0144czy\u0107 procedur\u0119 wgrywania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virtual PLC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Po tej operacji sterownik przechodzi do trybu RUN, co potwierdza zielona ikona (wirtualna dioda) przy napisie 'Run\/Stop’ na zdj\u0119ciu sterownika.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In this way, our virtual driver is configured with the previously prepared programme code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Switching to online<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The next step, as point fourteen, is to go online, i.e. to view the current state of the controller. In this mode, we can observe the operation of the program code and analyse the memory contents. This is important because once a programme has been written, it often needs tweaking, and this is best done by observing the current operation of the logic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Aby przej\u015b\u0107 do trybu online, musimy ponownie zaznaczy\u0107 sterownik w drzewie projektu, co jest krokiem pi\u0119tnastym, oraz skorzysta\u0107 z opcji 'Online’, oznaczonej numerem szesnastym w pasku ikon. Po upewnieniu si\u0119, \u017ce wirtualny sterownik jest w\u0142\u0105czony, mo\u017cemy po\u0142\u0105czy\u0107 si\u0119 z nim online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Online preview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This will result in a view where the orange elements indicate that the controller is connected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The highlighted balls in the project tree indicate that the programme section is ready for interaction. It is worth mentioning that the green colour indicates that the program section in the controller is working correctly. If you see anything other than a green circle, as we see with the currently marked plc_one driver, which is now marked in blue with a white bird in a green square, it means that the status of that device is OK. This is the kind of summary that tells us that everything is OK with a particular device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Disconnection from the PLC (OFFLINE)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We are now online with this driver, but in some situations it may be necessary to return to the offline mode we were in before the online connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In order to go back to offline mode, we have to follow the steps as described in point sixteen. We select the driver, which is necessary because, when performing different operations in the project, we click in different places. If we want to perform the step of going offline, disconnecting from the driver, then we have to first select the driver, which is step sixteen, and then use the icon numbered seventeen. That's the whole procedure, which is to click the appropriate buttons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

View after disconnection from PLC (OFFLINE)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After this step, we see the view of the project after disconnection,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

That is, we are back to a situation where we are only in the project with no connection to the actual controller<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project record<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Saving the project in Tia Portal is also an important step in working with the project. The development environment runs on the computer and sometimes crashes occur. It is therefore a good idea to get into the habit of saving your project regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I would suggest that you always save your project before uploading it to the controller, i.e. before the download procedure. This is important because once you save your project you can be sure that you will not lose the progress of your work. It is important to remember that unfortunately the Ctrl+Z (undo) shortcut does not work in Tia Portal, so saving the project status is a key practice to focus on when working with the project and the driver.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
