1. The PLC Programmer will need to first setup their PLC with the following Tag
Arrays. Pay special attention to the spelling, capitalization, and the use of
underscores instead of spaces for each tag array name as they must be identical
in the PLC program. A Data Map will be available to show what each array index is
for what.
Array Name Data Type [Quantity]
ACI_Inputs REAL [137]
ACI_Control REAL [25]
ACI_Misc REAL [30]
ACI_Cond REAL [30]
ACI_ErrorArray DINT [100]
ACI_LoadArray REAL [100]
ACI_FlowArray REAL [100]
ACI_StageArray REAL [180]
ACI_ThrowArray REAL [300]
ACI_CylHEArray REAL [400]
ACI_CylCEArray REAL [400]
ACI_Ranges REAL [25]
ACI_PLC_REQ INT [4]
ACI_PLC_ACK INT [4]
2. Have the PLC write a 1 to ACI_PLC_REQ[0] array index to tell mCore to run
calculations. mCore will first read the compressor data from the PLC’s ACI_Inputs
array and then start the calculation process.
