Starting with PLC and HMI programming is not a simple task. You may need to equip yourself with a lot of brand-new knowledge about Programmable Logic Controller and Human Machine Interface. This booklet is written just for someone like you. Get a copy today! It is the second of a series dedicated to automation recipes created with the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) and HMI (Human Machine Interface) binomial. The series is aimed at an audience of readers with an elementary knowledge of PLC programming, eager to learn advanced solutions, extensively tested on real systems. In modern computer programming, generally oriented to the development of "object-oriented" software, the developer strives, as much as possible, to resort to so-called "Design Patterns", standard solutions for frequently recurring problems. A design pattern describes a problem, particularly recurring in a given context, and then provide the heart of the solution to this problem. It is therefore possible to successfully reuse this solution, thousands and thousands of times, with the certainty of using an efficient and well-tested solution. In the present series, which deals exclusively with development on PLC-HMI, the term "design pattern" has been replaced by the term "automation recipe" for an easier understanding by the non IT reader. In the chapters of this book we will show in detail an automation recipe that can be reused in any PLC-HMI automation project that uses "electric motors". The recipe has also been optimized for operation with Scada supervision systems. This second book illustrates the automation recipe for measuring and monitoring quantities acquired with 4-20 mA current sensors. In detail, the first section, dedicated to the application domain, analyzes the various types of measurement used to acquire physical quantities such as pressure, level, flow, electric current and temperature.The second section deals with the development of combined software for both PLC and HMI. The logic of the two function blocks (UDFB), Conv4_20mA and AnalogSts are analyzed. The first block shows how to convert from analog 4-20 mA to engineering quantities, while the second one explains how to monitor the status of the analog signal based on preset parameters such as set-point, hysteresis, dead band, operational thresholds and first and second level alarms. For both functional blocks are developed in detail the relevant screens for displaying the values, the local monitoring of the states and the setting of adjustment parameters. In addition to the logic of the function blocks, two auxiliary subroutines are also discussed, VirtualAI and Init, to be called only once (singleton) in the main program. The third section shows, finally, the application of the concepts, developed in the previous chapters, to a concrete case of level control in a waste water pumping station. The HMI solutions have been extensively tested on the OCS, Operator Control System, manufactured by Horner Apg. OCS combines a Controller, Operator Interface, Network and I/O into a single product. While the author, has been widely using Siemens, Allen Bradley, GE Fanuc PLCs he has focused the books of this series on the Horner OCSs because Horner provides Cscape, an integrated development environment, extremely easy to use and above all completely free. All the logics, published in the book, have been developed using the IEC61131-3 compliant Ladder language; therefore it is extremely easy to migrate them on almost all the PLCs of other manufacturers. The same applies to HMI screens whose graphic controls are very similar on the different equipment offered on the market. The reader who already has experience with other manufacturers' equipment can therefore continue to use what he knows best.

This book contains more than 100 exercises for learning how to program programmable logic controllers (PLCs). At the same time, the exercises provide knowledge of how equipment, machines and small plants can be automated. There are exercises at beginner level with logic, counters, and timers. Then there are exercises with ARRAY, STRUCT, STRING, as well as exercises with mathematics, functions, function blocks, program design, sorting, FIFO, and data collection. Some exercises include selecting sensors, sequence techniques, manual/automatic operation, and data communication to a robot, frequency converter, or vision camera. The exercises start with easy ones and get harder as you go along. You can begin with simple exercises and gradually move on to more challenging ones that require a range of methods and programming skills. The exercises are based on relevant, real-world automation problems. The exercises can be solved in all types of PLCs, regardless of brand, hardware, or model. There are enough exercises for at least 400 hours of homework! The book is designed for use in educational programs or training that include PLC programming, such as automation technician, electrician, automation engineer, or mechatronics engineer. Of course, the exercises can also be used for other educational programs that teach basic programming or automation. The author is an experienced engineer and senior lecturer with over 30 years of experience in software development. He has been teaching PLC programming at the Dania Academy in Denmark for more than seven years.

Become well-versed with the tools available in the Siemens TIA toolbox and write PLC and HMI code effectively Key FeaturesFind out how to use TIA Portal effectively to boost your productivityLearn about a structured design pattern and understand why it is so powerful when implemented correctlyDiscover efficient project management and design practicesBook Description With automation requirements on the rise, Siemens' TIA Portal development environment is almost a necessity for any automation engineer. The Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) environment helps seamlessly integrate all things automation, from PLC hardware and software design to HMI development. This book helps you understand the tools available in the TIA toolbox and shows you how to write code effectively. The book begins by introducing you to the TIA environment, covering the layout and tools available. Once you've got to grips with the environment, you'll find out how to create hardware to write programs against, including adding IO modules and assigning memory for input and output. Next, you'll develop logic in all of the languages that TIA Portal offers, such as Ladder, Function Block Diagram, and Structured Text (SCL) (note that Statement List is not covered as a deprecated language), as well as the newest language, Cause and Effect (CEM). You'll also discover how to store standard code in libraries, creating a version control system that is easy to manage and aids standard design. Finally, following the PLC design chapters, you'll learn how to develop HMI applications in TIA Portal's latest unified hardware. By the end of the book, you'll be well equipped to use all of the features that TIA Portal V17 offers. What you will learnSet up a Siemens Environment with TIA PortalFind out how to structure a projectCarry out the simulation of a project, enhancing this further with structureDevelop HMI screens that interact with PLC dataMake the best use of all available languagesLeverage TIA Portal's tools to manage the deployment and modification of projectsWho this book is for This TIA Portal book is for anybody looking to learn PLC/HMI development using the latest Siemens development platform. Industrial software engineers, PLC engineers, automation engineers, and electricians will be able to advance their skill set with this guide. A basic understanding of PLC principles such as PLC data types and basic objects such as function blocks and functions is necessary to get started.
