1. Introduction
Hi5 Controller’s embedded PLC is a function that implements the common PLC’s function on a Controller. As the below figure shows, by executing HRLadder on a PC or laptop that is connected to a Controller, it is enabled to compose/edit a Ladder program, to download it to a Controller, to upload the Ladder program that are being executed on a Controller, or to monitor the execution status of a Controller. Please refer to the additional function manual for HRLadder.
I/0 connections on Hi5 controller can be connected to the upper process module and Fieldbus. Device Net slave modules can be connected by using DeviceNet master, which is embedded Fieldbus, and several devices can also be connected with hardwiring by using either BD580 or BD58A. The embedded PLC function controls the output signals that are connected as above with Ladder Logic.
