8-12 Utility & Example Ladder Programs
C01 & C04 Example.rss PLC Program Introduction (cont’d)
As discussed earlier, the subroutines contain the ladder programs used to perform the various PLS functions selected. To
enter data into the program for use by the backplane, you can choose one of two methods. The first method is shown in
figure 14, in which each individual data file associated with the specific program function is called up. The second method
is shown in figure 14, where all data entry points required to perform the given task are organized into a Custom Data
Monitor. Using the CDM for this makes this the task much less cumbersome than having to access each individual data
file.
Entering the data by accessing each individual data file works fine, but using the CDM, as shown in figure 15, makes
accessing data much easier. All data entry points can be centralized in one location, and each can be given a name of
your choosing.
To access the Custom Data Monitor, double click on the icon for the particular CDM you want to open, as shown in figure
15a below.
