Programmers
• There are a few basic types of programmers in use. These tend to fall into 3 categories,
1. PLC Software for Personal Computers -Similar to the special
plc selection -33.8
ized programming units, but the software runs on a multi-use, user supplied computer. This approach is typically preferred.
1. Hand held units (or integrated) -Allow programming of PLC using a calculator type interface. Often done using mnemonics.
2. Specialized programming units -Effectively a portable computer that allows graphical editing of the ladder logic, and fast upload-ing/downloading/monitoring of the PLC.
Ethernet/modem
• For communication with remote computers. This is now an option on
many CPUs. TTL input/outputs
• When dealing with lower TTL voltages (0-5Vdc) most input cards will
not recognize these. These cards allow switching of these voltages. Encoder counter module
• Takes inputs from an encoder and tracks position. This allows encoder
changes that are much faster than the PLC can scan.
