The ladder method is most of ten used for programming the sequencecontrol governed by a PMC. This method was derived from relay-panelcontrol circuits. Since it has been in use for years, many sequenceengineers are already familiar with it.The greater the number of functions implemented by the PMC, the largerand the more complicated the sequence program becomes. And it is hardto describe such program for ladder method.To overcome this problem, step sequence method programming has beenintroduced.

(1) What is the step sequence method ?The step sequence is one of the method for programming a sequencecontrol governed by a programmable controller, this method featuresthe direct representation of the control flow on a flow chart. Eachblock of processing is described as a subprogram, using the laddermethod. Therefore it provides an easy-to-understand visualized flowof the processes and is well-suited to the control of entire process.

See 1.2.2 Supported PMC Functions for the machines are able to use thestep sequence.

For the details of the step sequence method, refer to the following manual.

[3.5.2.2.(3) STEP SEQUENCE EDITING]

(2) The configuration of a sequence programA sequence program consists of the following 5 kinds of program unit ;

The 1st level of ladder The 2nd level of ladder The 3rd level of ladder Subprograms of ladder Subprograms of step sequence

Notes1 When using this saftware under Windows95, Please install

the software by the installation procedure described in[2.3.1 Registering the software in the Windows [Programs]menu. ]

2 A device driver tailored to the OPEN CNC systemconfiguration must be incorporated.

3 Even if the machine has 640 Kbytes memory, the freememory may be less than 520 Kbytes when an installeddriver, for example, uses a large memory space.The size of free space in memory can be checked with theDOS command CHKDSK.

4 The quantity of EMS and XMS memory effects on theperformance to handle Symbol data and Net comment.Please prepare enough EMS and XMS memory specicallyfor Symbol data or Net comment of large number.Moreover, at the system with EMS less than 256 Kbytes, themaximum number of steps which this software can handlemay be restricted.Please prepare 256 Kbytes or more EMS if possible.

5 In addition, an space for storing sequence data is required.6 [NEC PR201H]and[FANUC PRINTER]are also available by

changing system file.For details, refer to[3.5.3.6 Changing the Printer].

About size of Expansion memory to be used :

Expansion memory are used for ladder and symbol & comment data asan temporary area. Although, Ladder Editing Package runs with no EMS& XMS, enough size of EMS and/or XMS memory according to thesource program to handle will be necessary for better performance.

(1) Expansion memoryWhen reading ladder programs, Ladder Editing Package uses EMSif available. If EMS is not available, Ladder Editing Package usesconventional memory. When only conventional memory is used, upto 21840 program steps can be created. When 256KB EMS memoryis available, however, up to 32000 program steps can be created. Thesize of EMS is 256KB for all PMC models, regardless of the size ofthe program to be edited.

(2) Expanded memory for Symbol & Comment dataFAPT LADDER uses EMS and/or XMS memory for Symbol &Comment data if available.When neither of them are available, Ladder Editing Package willmake temporary file on the hard diskdrive, and processing largenumber of Symbol & Comment data may be slower.About 200 Kbytes of EMS & XMS memory are used for every 1,000Symbol data.

(3) Expanded memory for Net commentLadder Editing Package also uses EMS and/or XMS memory, ortemporary file as same as Symbol & Comment data. If neither EMSnor XMS is prepared, use hard disk.About 200 to 300 Kbytes of EMS or XMS memory are used for every1,000 Net coment.

To use the system, make the following modifications to theCONFIG.SYS file.

(1) When the system is used under Windows 95 (when Windows 95 isinstalled in C:WINDOWS)

DEVICE=WINDOWSANSI.SYSDEVICE=WINDOWSEMM386.EXE

When the system is used under Windows 95, the Japanese inputsystem is not specified in the CONFIG.SYS file. The specificationmethod depends on the Japanese input system being used. Whenusing the system from the MSDOS prompt, both the Japanese inputsystem registered in Windows and that of the DOS version can beused. In MSDOS mode, only the DOSversion Japanese inputsystem can be used. Additions or modifications to the settings of theWindows Japanese input system can be made by modifying theLanguage item of Keyboard Properties, after doubleclicking theKeyboard icon on the Control Panel. The DOS version Japaneseinput system can be installed by using the ADDDRV command. Fordetails of the installation method, see DOSIME.BAT under theCOMMAND directory of Windows and DOSIME.SYS under theroot directory of the startup disk.

(2) When the system is used under DOS (In the following example, DOSis already installed in C:DOS.)
