PLC Data Types & Structures - Allen Bradley PLC RSLogix 5000 Basics Programming BOOL INT DINT Arrays
Visit SolisPLC.com for more Tutorials, Information & to connect with the Community
The most fundamental programming block is a boolean which stores the value equal to 0 or 1. A boolean is used for most basic instructions and to evaluate most logic within PLC programming.
At the point of creating a tag through laying out logic or by using the tag creator, the user may specify the data type for the tag. Through the tag creation tab, the data type is specified within the "Data Type" tab. Note that once the tag is created online, it's impossible to change the type. The workaround to make that happen would require the user to delete the tag and re-create it again.
By typing in the tag "Data Type", a window is opened from which the user may choose the type of tag one wants to create. Note that the types listed here will include the default Allen Bradley as well as custom UDTs.
As a beginner, you'll be creating a lot of Boolean tags while programming. Most basic instructions such as the XIC, XIO and OTE utilize BOOLs. It's important to keep in mind that creating a large number of BOOLs can be done through different means. The first way is to use individual booleans from within DINTs as we'll see in the next section. The second way is to create arrays of BOOLs as we will see in the last section.

Great lecture on DataStructures - was hoping a followup on Ignition tutorial :) . Thanks for everything you do to support the industrial automation community!

Thank you as always for your kind comments. I'm planning to put something together as soon as I get back home (spent 3 weeks in Los Angeles with family). I also finished a video on a PF525 set up last night, so that will be released shortly.

I've been looking for plc videos for techs to learn from that don't start with "what is a plc." Awesome job!

If the card went bad and you had to change it, the new card will still be in the same slot as the old and have the same address as it's just a spare part replacement. I feel something was missing in the explanation perhaps.

Nice video

hello, your video was it for me so useful, but i have a question about graphic interface tag/monitor table, how you defined smaller rows/lines in tag table ? i didnt found it in settigs. or any link how does it change. thx :-)

Bad ass bro

Difficult to fallow you when you switch to Edit tags, because I can not see the letters, it is too small, not clear, your explanation is great.

Hi Vlad, can you please make video of using Github for beginners. I would like to see how you, an experienced plc programmer, use Git for version control. Thank you!

@SolisPLC 4 жыл бұрын

I've actually never seen Github used in a production environment and my use of it is limited for those who want to download the code I use in my videos. I'd say that for AB PLCs, AssetCentre is much better as it keeps track of changes, allows you to see who made them and keeps backups of all the revisions. In other words, it's the Github for PLC programming. The regular Github site doesn't let you see PLC code as the format isn't supported, so it's really just a backup mechanism.

Your video is amazing. I request to sir please make one video on PID by 500 rs logix. I see your PID tuning video by rs logix 5000. but it's different from 500 rs logix here we don't understand how SCP instructions calibrated.i search many videos on it they don't satisfied me so sir please make one program on PID tuining by rs logix on 500.

@SolisPLC 4 жыл бұрын

Give me some time; RSLogix 500 PID is much easier than 5000. I'll make a video.

Can u cover DTR instruction?

@DILIPKUMAR-cd3di 4 жыл бұрын

Second question it's That I have a wonderwear intouch but it's not interface with rs logix 500 because I have a rslink lite instead of rslink classic gateway. I searched any where but everywhere rslink classic lite.which not communicate with scada.so sir if you have rslinks classic gateway software so please provide it. Thank you

Hi I am impreesed by the your videos...I have one question....Does programming in STL saves program memory

@SolisPLC 4 жыл бұрын

As far as I know, it doesn't. That being said, it would be great to do a comparison of the two over a real-world scenario. Something tells me that since you can create either logic structure in many ways, there will be inefficiencies in either one depending on how it's programmed.

@therzook 2 жыл бұрын

Iam pretty sure that one of user manuals about control/compact logix plc's from rockwell mentioned that it actually saves some memory especially when doing calculations - it would be related to how LD is compiled. However I cannot prove my point here neither from my experience or citing correct source. I may add that it was the case several years ago when studio 5k just entered the market, so since that time things probably changed. I do use STL mainly for calculations as I can usually squeeze all necessary calcs on one screen. LD in intitial stage of the project, once project is too complex or is not going to be modified = SFC's are your tool - they are cumbersome at the beginning, but maintability is way better than LD, dont know why nobody uses SFC's .. :D

Hello: Can someone please describe how to use strings in RSLogix 5000, and how to pass them to Factory Talk View Studio. Thanks.....

Hello Valdimir I would like to learn and get advanced knowledge about Data highway, device net, control net, Ethernet and other communication protocols. If you can provide any resources, it would be great help.

@SolisPLC 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Karan, I'd recommend reading official Rockwell documentation on those protocols. Personally, I don't see them that often in the field anymore. They're used in older equipment; any new installation should utilize EtherNet/IP.
