This PLC Programming Example is a Hydraulic Press, created at the request of a visitor to http://bin95.com This PLC program is in no way complete and to only be used for PLC training purposes. If you would like to learn more best-practices PLC programming, please seek our instructor based PLC training. Also please comment and share with others so the world can be a little better place. :>)

Jump to Real-World I/O cross reference subroutine. Having all Real-World I/O in a separate subroutine is a best-practices technique. To learn more best-practices
see BIN95.com instructor based training. If you are about to purchase a machine and it's program does not have an XREF Sub, you should question the quality of
it's programming.

BIN95.com Training Example - (Not for use in actual equipment)
This program is not to be placed in machine unless a qualified engineer has approved and in any case bin95.com or related entities are not responsible for the use of
this training example. This program was to give the general public an idea how we teach proper PLC programming structure.
This first rung, # zero in subroutine 3 (also referred to as "ladder 3" or "program file 3" is a seal-in or latching rung. As there is an actual latch instruction, to limit
confusion bin95.com training refers to it as seal in rung. Proper PLC programming should be a sequence of events in order of sequence. So our first rung is Boolean
logic "IF LS1 (Press in home position at top) AND operator presses cycle start button AND in auto move press down at high speed as long as NOT in slow speed
mode.

IF Jog down pushbutton is pressed AND in manual mode AND NOT bottom limit switch (LS3) is made OR LS3 timer is still timing, THEN move press down in
slow speed. OR IF moving down in fast mode (Auto) AND middle limit switch (LS2) is made AND NOT bottom LS3 made AND NOT Emergency Stop tripped,
THEN move press down in slow mode. OR IF machine is already in move down in slow mode AND in Auto, THEN continue to move down in slow mode
(Seal-in/latch branch).

The above rung descriptions described the rungs more detail than you will typically see. As we move on, we will describe less and in a more typical fashion.
As long as LS3 is made then timer T4:0 starts timing, OR IF the timer is already timing, it continues to time (seal-in). When timer is done in ¼ second, it's "TT"
(timer timing) bit is no longer true and breaks seal-in. If the rung is not true, the timer resets to zero and would require LS3 to be made again. This rung allows press
to travel down ¼ second past the bottom LS.

This rung does nothing … or does it? There is a common practice by PLC programmer to actually place a rung in programs that does nothing, sometimes the bit is
described as a "Dummy" bit. I may be there just to place extra comments in the program like this one, or the bit replaces a bit that would be their if the end-user
ordered a certain option. We will use this rung for extra advice. First advice, if you do not know what AFI stands for and how it is used in a program, it is
absolutely critical you seek our bin95.com instructor based training. Second tip, just like an professor obtained his/her position by reading a lot of books, the more
PLC programs you study, the better a PLC programmer you will be.
