PLC and CAN-BUS For Training-1

The document outlines the functionalities and advantages of PLC (Programmable Logic Control) and CAN-BUS (Controller Area Network Bus) systems, highlighting their roles as communication highways in industrial automation. PLC systems utilize a master-slave configuration for signal processing, while CAN-BUS employs a centralized processing approach with twisted pair wiring for efficient signal transmission. Both systems offer benefits such as reduced cycle times, improved response to signal changes, and simplified connections, enhancing overall operational efficiency.

PLC and CAN-BUS Systems

- What is it:
o PLC = Programmable Logic Control: Communication Highway (uses Master and Slave
application. PLC is the head controller handling all signals in the CPU…Associated
terms/phrases include
 PROFIBUS = Process Field Bus (Communication highway or distribution system
that takes information to/from the peripheral units/components in bits and/or
word
 ASI Bus = (Actuator Sensor Interface) It is for bit processing, attached to units
for that reason. These ASI components are sensed and updated by the ASI Bus
Master modules (Binary stations/interfaces)
 DP = Distributed Peripheral System is the distribution system of the PROFI
(Process Field) Bus equipment
 ET200S = An interface unit that senses and updates all the signals coming to and
leaving (input/output signals) the modules
 “Dual-Port Ram” = Communication method by which the PROFI Bus interface
and CPU communicate (only way), therefore same method/language for
field/peripheral equipment (e.g. ET200S, ASI, Modules, Drive assemblies etc.)
 Addresses = Bits and Words formed and are essential to enable individual
stations to be contacted

**Advantage of this system:

- Significantly shorter cycle, therefore quicker response to signal changes (work sharing)
- Shorter transmission lines (DP’s can be used directly where signals originate)
- Fault-prone terminal connections eliminated from system

** Signal generators/receivers on ASI Bus are as normal switches, buttons, and valves etc. connected to
ASI modules, these ASI components can be changed quickly and unaffected by external influences

o CAN-BUS = Controller Area Network Bus: Communication Highway (uses selective


coding application). All signals processed in one central location (from the CPU) and
transmitted via a 2-wire twisted pair configuration

CAN-BUS modules are connected to the Control Computer (CPU) via CAN lines (CAN
high/CAN low twisted pair wire). The values read in by the input modules (e.g. switch,
generator, sensor, etc.) are transmitted via these CAN lines and processed by the on-
board Software in the CPU (Master 4 for Liebherr machines etc.) – the commands of the
CPU are then sent via the same CAN lines to the output modules. There in these output
modules, the commands are converted into electrical signals for the outputs units or
actuators (e.g. valves, contactors, etc.).

** See or follow an example of a signal reading from switch to input module to CPU to output module (a
function path can also be used) **

** Not adjustable, but terminations can read lower resistances and can improve **
PLC system basic principle

Hard Wired Controls Programmable controller (PLC is the core)


System must be defined in advance Controller+wiring constructed independent to program
Changes in program = rewiring controller Sensors etc. connect directly to PLC terminals
Controlling program stored directly in memory of CPU
Stored program determines logic and sequence (gates)
 Assigning gates
