How to use the high-speed counter of Mitsubishi PLC

High speed counter (C235-C255)The falling edge of the externally input high-speed pulse signal is counted by means of an interrupt. The high-speed counter sets the instruction HSCS, and the function number is FNC53.FeaturesWhen the current value S1 of the high-speed counter reaches the set value S2, the output point designated by D is immediately set … Continue reading How to use the high-speed counter of Mitsubishi PLC

Types of PLC Programing Language

The plc programming language specified in IEC 61131-3 includes instruction lists and structured text (ST) as text languages, as well as graphics such as ladder diagrams, function block diagrams (FBD), continuous function diagrams (CFC), and sequential function diagrams (SFC). Language.1. Instruction List (IL)The instruction list language is the most basic language for PLC programming. However, … Continue reading Types of PLC Programing Language

How to understand M8000 m8001 m8002 in MITSUBISHI PLC

M8000- runs normal open contacts and PLC runs ON all the time. M8001- runs normal closed contacts and PLC runs OFF all the time. M8002- initializes the pulse normally open contact. PLC runs ON with a scan cycle. M8003- initializes pulse normally closed contacts. PLC runs OFF with a scan cycle. this is Operation sequence … Continue reading How to understand M8000 m8001 m8002 in MITSUBISHI PLC
