 PLC

Programmable Logic Controller

BSR [Bit Shift Right]

their will be shift in the value when this instruction is used . in this instruction their are some terms that are used that is , File , control , bit address etc

Channel

Channel is the number of the RS-232 port (Channel 0)

Embedded Control

In this control system, small components are attached to the industrial computer system with the help of a network and control is exercised

Open Loop

A system that does not monitor the output to adjust control. This is typically used on well behaved systems.

OTE [Output Energize]

Under normal operating conditions, if the set bit corresponds to an output device, the output device will be energized when the rung goes true.If you are using a 5/02, 5/03, 5/04, 5/05 or MicroLogix processor, you can use indexed addresses. If you are using a 5/03 OS302, a 5/04 OS401, or a 5/05 processor, you can use indirect addresses. Output addresses are specified to the bit level.

rack

A housing that holds the CPU and modules. A rack typically refers to a backplane with siding that has slots used to guide the modules into plugs on the backplane.

RAM

Random Access Memory is a type of memory where information can be read and stored (written) at any time. Most RAMs memory is volatile and requires a battery to maintain its information.

Register

An area of memory used to store information typically a word.

RS-232

An EIA standard that specifies electrical, mechanical and functional characteristics for serial communications. It is used for point to point communications less then 15 meters long.

RS-485

An EIA standard that specifies electrical, mechanical and functional characteristics for serial communications. It is used for multi-point (networked) communications.

Rung

A ladder logic term that refers to a series or branch of instructions connected together that drive an output. The term is derived the look of ladder logic which resembles a ladder with rungs.

Signed Integer

A numbering system using a word of memory (16 bits) that can display from -32,768 to +32,767.
