Your first Unity Pro project

Programming in LD Programming in ST On-line modification To find out more
The purpose of this tutorial is to show you how easy it is to use Unity Pro by means of a practical application controlled by the Modicon M340 programmable logic controller (PLC).
The chosen application is a conveyor belt that transports boxes to place them in batches of 10 on a pallet.

Goals
Your first Unity Pro project

Starting from an application specification of requirements, we are going to show you the project development principles using Unity Pro
The tutorial is divided into four parts:
1. Programming in LD (Ladder Diagram language): this part

presents the method to be used to create a project, the programming procedures in LD, as well as project debugging.
2. Programming in ST (Structured Text language): this part

presents the programming and debugging procedures in ST, as well as how to use the operator screens to view and control the process.
3. On-line modification: presents the procedures required for the

on-line modification of the program.
4. To find out more: this last part of the tutorial shows how easy it
is to integrate Modicon M340 PLC, programmed with Unity Pro, in an automation architecture: controlling an ATV31 variable speed drive, operator dialog with a Magelis XBT GT terminal.

The project will be debugged on the PLC simulator and then configured to run on the real PLC. Recorded demonstrations of the operating modes will also be proposed.
Schneider Electric
Your first Unity Pro project Methodological approach

The installation we want to control is a conveyor belt that is used to transport boxes which are placed in batches of 10 on a pallet and then dispatched. An expression of requirements will be proposed for each function, as well as a development methodology.
The chosen application breaks down into three functions:
The Conveyor function which is used to control the conveyor belt.
The Palletizer function which is used to count the boxes and process a new pallet.
The Management function which makes it possible to stop the conveyor belt after a certain lapse of time, if there are no boxes left on the conveyor.

The installation includes a conveyor belt and a control panel
The input requirements: A RUN input to start the conveyor A STOP input to stop the conveyor An URGENCY emergency shutdown input
The output requirements: A MOTOR command output A RUNNING indicator light output
Remark: In this first phase we are going to define the input/output information required, without assigning the real inputs/outputs for the moment; with the project being tested on the Unity Pro simulator. The inputs/outputs will be assigned in phase 3
Use the mock-up buttons to understand the expression of requirements

This phase consists of determining the conveyor belt's command logic
Conveyor Command
Program structure: The conveyor starts up when the user presses the RUN button, provided there is no emergency stop. The conveyor stops when the user presses the STOP button or when there is an emergency stop. The program will be developed in Ladder Diagram language (LD). RUN MOTOR URGENCY STOP MOTOR

Programming the conveyor in LD language Data declaration (1/2)

The data can be declared: - either using the data editor, - or gradually, as you key in the program.
We are going to declare the input data for the Conveyor program in the data editor. The output data will be declared gradually as you create the program.
Inputs Name RUN STOP URGENCY Type EBOOL EBOOL EBOOL Comment Start conveyor Stop conveyor Emergency stop
Outputs Name MOTOR RUNNING Type EBOOL EBOOL Comment Conveyor Motor command Motor Run/Stop indicator light
Remark: we will type-define the I/O variables in EBOOL so that we can then associate them with the PLC's module channels.
Schneider Electric
12
Programming the conveyor in LD language Data declaration (2/2)

On the Unity Pro workshop, you can use variables simply by declaring the name and type but without having to declare the address: these variables are non-localized, it is the system that assigns these addresses internally.
Double click on Elementary variables to access the data editor.

Indicate : the variable's name the type of variable : EBOOL the comment relative to the variable.
Declare all the following variables
Remark: the other items of data will be declared gradually as you create the LD program

Programming the conveyor in LD language Analysis and first build of the project (1/3)
Once you have finished keying in your program, we are going to Analyze the project (report the errors and warnings in the project) and then Rebuild All the project (essential the first time).
Run the program on the simulator

You can run the project on : - the PLC, in which case you must define the configuration. - a PLC simulator, in which case it is not necessary to define the configuration.
When generating code, Unity Pro takes into account whether the target is the PLC or a simulator.
Remark The PLC simulator allows you to simulate a project in its entirety with all the associated user tasks. However, the dynamics of the simulator's execution behavior cannot be compared with that of a real PLC.

The upload information consists of the code, variable symbols, comments and animation tables, etc. They are saved when you record the project and they may or may not be included with the PLC memory. This information makes it possible to work with a workstation that does not contain the project.
Link animation (General tab)
This allows you to include, or not, the information that ensures link animation in contact language in the generated code.

The tutorial is divided into four parts:

1. Programming in LD (Ladder Diagram language): this part

2. Programming in ST (Structured Text language): this part

3. On-line modification: presents the procedures required for the
