	DH-485_Comm.pdf	Thu May 1 10:28:44 2003	22.4 KB
	This is a code fragment that I use for doing DH-485 comms between processors. The MSG instructions are cascaded to allow the fastest possible updates without worrying about a having failed MSG's clog up the channels and stop / slow down the rest of the MSG's to other machines. This is on a small (4 node) production line, but it could scale to whatever amount needed. Note that on larger networks, it may be better to keep two or three loops going at once.	Joe Jansen

	This function provide to smooth a analog input. The function calculate the smooth value by add S/16 of previous value with (16-S)/16 of actual value the formula used is Out = ([Smooth_factor]/16)[Prev_value]+((16-[Smooth_factor])/16)[Input_value] S = smoothing factor X1 = initial value/previous output X2 = new input from I/O table Valid entries for S smooth factor If you want to.... then enter... Prevent the smoothing 0 Provide minimal smoothing 1 provide maximum smoothing 15	Simone Stefani
	FDecode__S5_Version_.pdf	Thu May 1 10:22:00 2003	12.1 KB
	This document describes a simple method of decoding alarms (faults). These alarms may be displayed on a text OP (operator panel), or used in some other fashion. The actual algorithm used here is trivially simple, but this document describes applying it in a consistent and systematic manner.	Michael Griffin

	Gray_code.pdf	Thu May 1 10:28:35 2003	24.3 KB
	This file was submitted by Anthony Kerstens for converting grey code to binary. It's generalized to use a full 16 bits, but could be shortened or expanded to suit the application. The MSB is taken directly, and the algorithm for subsequent bits is the same for the remaining bits regardless of the number. The logic example is programmed with symbols G15 to G00, and B with bits /15 to /0. G15 to G00 are gray code inputs from an encoder or other such device. B is the binary integer file, with individual bit B/15 to B/0. The G15_MSB is taken directly. Subsequent G bits are XOR'd with the previous B bit. ie. B/n = Gn xor B/(n+1).	Joe Jansen

	Modicon 984 Ladder Logic Toggle Bit. The Toggle Bit logic circuit provides the ability to turn a bit ON (bit=1) with the first action and then turn the bit OFF (bit=0) with the next action. The state of the Output changes each time the Input is energized (bit=1)	Brad Hite
	OPAlarm__S5_Version_.pdf	Thu May 1 10:24:55 2003	8.28 KB
	This document describes a simple method of acknowledging alarms in a Siemens text OP (operator panel with display and keypad). These OPs include the OP20, OP5, OP15, OP7, or OP17. OP "alarms" are an easy method of displaying and acknowledging faults. This version was written for a Siemens S5 PLC.	Michael Griffin

	This document describes a simple method of acknowledging alarms in a Siemens text OP (operator panel with display and keypad). These OPs include the OP7, and OP17. OP "alarms" are an easy method of displaying and acknowledging faults. This version of the subroutine is for a Siemens S7-22x and was translated from an older S5 function block which has been used in numerous applications.	Michael Griffin

	This document describes a simple method of determining which is the current screen displayed on a Siemens text OP (operator panel with display and keypad). These OPs include the OP20, OP5, OP15, OP7, or OP17. It is often convenient to determine this screen number in order to limit specified actions to when a particular screen is selected by the operator. This version was written for a Siemens S5 PLC.
