RS Linx software is used to perform following tasks.


ØConfigure communication drivers
ØView configured drivers and active nodes
ØEnable communication tasks such as uploading,
downloading, going online, updating firmware and sending messages.
83.What is use of RS Logix Software?

RS Logix is a PLC programming software. It contains all the instructions needed for PLC
programming. We can develop the program, down load/upload the program, work on line/ off line
and force the I/Os using the software. RS Logix 500 is used for Micrologix and SLCs RS Logix 5000 is
used for Control Logix PLCs
84.What file gets created in PC for RS Logix PLC program?

The extension of the file will be.rss. So if you create an application with “Reliance” name the file
created will be “Reliance.rss”. By default it will be stored in “c:Program FilesRockwell Software/RS
Logix 500 Eng location.

85.How to creating linkage between PLCs and PLC programming software?

The RS Linx software is used for linking the PLC and software Either you can manually
configuration the communication settings or By using Auto Configure facility the software will
detect the communication settings automatically.
86.Hardware configuration (PLC and I/Os)

ØManual configuration
ØAuto detect
87.What is the meaning of Upload and Download?

Upload means transferring the program data from PLC to PC Download means transferring the
program data from PC to PLC
88.What are the various communication interfaces supported by AB?

The commonly used communication protocol in AB includes DH+, DH485, ETH, Modbus, Device Net
and Control Net.
89.Give information about DH, Control Net, DeviceNet and Ethernet protocol.

Data Highway : The proprietary data network used by Allen Bradley PLCs to communicate
information to and from other PLCs on the network

or to and from host computers attached to the network.


ControlNet : A real-time, control-layer network providing high-speed transport of both time-
critical IO data and messaging data, including upload/ download of programming and configuration
data and peer-to-peer messaging, on a single physical media link.
FC Functions : It is a logic block without memory. An FC is always executed by calling in another
block. FC is used either for returning a function value to a calling function or executing a
technological function. Temporary variable belonging to FC are saved in local stack and this data is
lost when the FC has been executed.
Function Blocks (FBs) : A function block is block with a memory. A FB contains a program that is
always executed when a different logic block calls the FB. FB make it much easier to program
frequently occurring complex functions.

90.What is latency in communication?

···

The delay time between the end of one communication and the start of another. During this time, the
processes associated with the communication are hung up and cannot continue. The latency to be
minimum.
91.How the communication protocols are distinguished?

The protocols are distinguished with following specifications

Interface module- For interconnecting individual racks (IM 360/361, IM 365 S/R)
96.What are the Communication Protocol used in Siemens?

Multi- Point Interface (MPI):


Data Transfer-187,5 kbits to 15
Mbit/ s Distance-50 m without RS 485 repeater /10 Km
with repeater
Number of nodes- up to 32
Profibus

Data Transfer-12 Mbit/s,


Distance-23 Km with fibre optic cable
Number of nodes – up to 125
97.What are the blocks used in Siemens?

Simantic S7 manger uses DB, OB, FC, PB, and FB


Obs: Determine the structure of the user program
Data Black: These are the blocks used by logic blocks in
CPU program for storing the data. DB’s does not contain any instructions and it
take up space in the user memory. The user program and access a data block with
bit, byte, word or double word operations. Global data block: These contain
information that can be accessed by all the logic block in the user program.
Instance data block: These DBs
are always assigned to a particular FB.
UN : (enable) Specifies whether
or not the timer instruction is enabled
DN : (Done) Specifies whether or
not the accumulated value of the timer equals to the preset value of the timer.
Programming instruction (Advance)
MCR, Compute, PID, STI,
Sequencer, Register, RTC
98. What are SFCs and SFBs?

SFBs and SFCs are integrated in


the S7 CPU and allow you access to some important system functions.
