Need help with SLC500 code command

Need help with SLC500 code command

Need help with SLC500 code command

(OP)
Please note I know vitually nothing about PLC's other than they *work*.  I'm trying to help out one of our I&C guys and need to know what the commands OTE, XIC, XIO, OTL, OTU do within the RSlogix 500 software by Allen Bradley.  Can any point me towards some literature that explains the functions of each command?  

Many Thanks for any help!

RE: Need help with SLC500 code command

Hello Senselessticker

OTE=OUTPUT ENERGIZE
XIC=EXAMINE IF CLOSED
XIO=EXAMINE IF OPEN
OTL=OUTPUT LATCH
OTU=OUTPUT UNLATCH

For more information I found this site helpfull and you can
download a mini tutorial (simulation software) to help you out.

Senselessticker,
USe the rslogix 500 HELP file. It gives the definitions and examples as well. You may check out www.plcs.net as well.

In a hundred years, it isn't going to matter anyway.

RE: Need help with SLC500 code command

There is an ebook you can buy on RSLogix at http://www.modernmedia.us. It contains all the basic information you need to learn the instructions and start programming. I think it is about $20.
