 Introduction to SoftPLC

1 INTRODUCTION TO SOFTPLC
The SoftPLC is a resource that adds the functionalities of a PLC to the CFW500, providing the product with
flexibility and allowing the user to develop its own applications (user’s programs).

The main SoftPLC characteristics are:

Programming in “Ladder Language” using the WLP software.

Access to all Parameters and I/Os of the CFW500.
50 configurable parameters for the user’s use.
PLC, Mathematical and Control Blocks
On-line transfer and monitoring of the software application via Serial/USB interface.
Transfer of the application software installed on the CFW500 to the PC with password restriction.
Storage of the software application on the FLASH memory board.
Execution directly on the RAM.

 SoftPLC MEMORY

2 SOFTPLC MEMORY
The total size of the SoftPLC parameter is 7684 bytes for program memory and data memory.

NOTE!
The SoftPLC application is stored in the memory of the plug-in used at the moment of download.
Therefore, if the plug-in is changed, it will be necessary to download the application again.

2.1 MEMORY

SoftPLC function: 7684 bytes

SoftPLC User Parameter: 508 bytes

2.2 DATA MEMORY

The SoftPLC data memory area (user variables) is shared with the programming memory. Therefore, the total
size of an application may vary as a function of the number of variables applied by the user.

The bit, word and float markers are allocated according to the LAST address used on the application, that is,
the longer the last address, the larger the allocated area. Therefore, it is recommended to use the markers in a
SEQUENTIAL manner.

The word and float constants do also use program memory space.

2.2.1 Constants

Table 2.1: Constant Memory Map

Sym. Description Bytes

It depends on the number of different word constants.
E.g.: If there were used:
Word Constants
%KW - %KW: 327 = 2 bytes
(16 bits)
- %KW: 5; 67 = 4 bytes
- %KW: 13; 1000; 13; 4 = 6 bytes
It depends on the number of different float constants. E.g.:
If there were used:
Float Constants
%KF - %KF: -0,335 = 4 bytes
(32 bits – IEEE)
- %KF: 5,1; 114,2 = 8 bytes
- %KF: 0,0; 115,3; 0,0; 13,333 = 12 bytes

2.2.2 Physical Inputs and Outputs (Hardware)

Table 2.2: I/O Memory Map

Sym. Description Range Bytes

%IX Digital Inputs 1 ... 8 2
%QX Digital Outputs 1 ... 5 2
%IW Analog Inputs/Frequency 1 ... 4 8
%QW Analog Outputs/Frequency 1 ... 3 6

NOTE!
The %IW4 marker corresponds to the frequency input. In order to activate this input, it is necessary
to set P0246 to 1.

NOTE!
The %QW3 marker corresponds to the frequency output. In order to activate this output, it is
necessary to set P0257 according to the desired function. Furthermore, note that the DO2 circuit is
configured in open collector.

CFW500 | 7
 SoftPLC MEMORY

NOTE!
The values of the Analog/Frequency Inputs (%IW) and of the Analog/Frequency Outputs (%QW)
respectively read and written via SoftPLC respect their gains (P0232, P0237, P0242, P0247:
%IW1−%IW4 and P0252, P0255, P0258: %QW1−%QW3) and offsets (P0234, P0239, P0244,
P0249: %IW1−%IW4).

NOTE!
The values read or written via SoftPLC obey the following rules, respecting the parameters related
to the analog input and output signal types (P0233, P0238, P0243: %IW1−%IW3 and P253, P256:
%QW1−%QW2):
Option: 0 to 10V/20mA
 0V or 0mA =0
 10V or 20mA = 32767
Option: 4 to 20mA
 4mA = 0
 20mA = 32767
Option: 10V/20mA to 0
 10V or 20mA = 0
 0V or 0mA = 32767
Option: 20 to 4mA
 20mA = 0
 4mA = 32767

2.2.3 Volatile Markers (Variables)

They consist of variables that can be applied by the user to execute the applicative logics. They can be bit
markers (1 bit), word markers (16 bit) or float markers (32 bit – IEEE).

Table 2.3: Volatile Marker Memory Map

Sym. Description Range Bytes

It depends on the last used marker. They are organized
in byte pairs. E.g.:
- last marker: %MX5000 = 2 bytes
%MX Bit Markers 5000 ... 6099
- last marker: %MX5014 = 2 bytes
- last marker: %MX5016 = 4 bytes
- last marker: %MX5039 = 6 bytes
It depends on the last used marker. E.g.:
- last marker: %MX8000 = 2 bytes
%MW Word Markers 8000 ... 8199
- last marker: %MX8001 = 4 bytes
- last marker: %MX8007 = 16 bytes
It depends on the last used marker. E.g.:
- last marker: %MX9000 = 4 bytes
%MF Float Markers 9000 ... 9199
- last marker: %MX9001 = 8 bytes
- last marker: %MX9007 = 32 bytes

NOTE!
In order to minimize the application size, use the markers in a sequential manner.
E.g.:
Bit markers: %MX5000, %MX5001, %MX5002, ...
Word markers: %MW8000, %MW8001, %MW8002, ...
Float markers: %MF9000, %MF9001, %MF9002, ...

2.2.4 System Markers

They consist of special variables that allow the user to read and change inverter data that may or may not be
available in the parameters. They can be: system bit markers (1 bit) or system word markers (16 bits).

 Resume of the Function Block

In the example above, if the EN is active, and the digital input 1 is off, then the block will generate a speed
reference according to the user parameter 1010 in the rpm unit. If there is no error (example: disabled inverter),
the ENO output goes to 1.

3.4 PLC BLOCKS

3.4.1 Timer – TON

Menu: Insert-Function Blocks-PLC-TON

Input:
IN: Enables the block
Output:
Q: Goes to 1 when IN ≠ 0 and ET ≥ PT
Properties:
PT: Programmed time (Preset Time)
ET: Elapsed Time

In the example above, if the IN input is active and the content of the word marker 8000 is greater than or equal
to the content of the user parameter 1010, the output Q is set.

3.4.2 Incremental Counter – CTU

Menu: Insert-Function Blocks-PLC-CTU

In the example above, if the input EN is active, the controller starts its operation. The content of the user
parameter 1010 selects the reference that is active, that is, whether it is the float marker 9001 (automatic
reference) or 9003 (manual reference). There is a 0.05s filter for the automatic reference. Since the derivative
gain is fixed in 0, this indicates that de PID was converted into a PI. The value of the control output OUT,

CFW500 | 14
 Resume of the Function Block

represented by the float marker 9004, has the maximum and minimum limits of 100 and -100 and the sampling
time of 0.050s.

constant of 0.25s by a low-pass and filter and will be transferred to the float marker 9001.

3.5 CALCULATION BLOCKS

3.5.1 Comparator – COMP

Menu: Insert-Function Blocks-Calculation-COMP

Input:
EN: Enables the block
Output:
ENO: Goes to 1 when the comparison condition is
fulfilled
Properties:
FORMAT: Integer or floating point
DATA 1: Comparison data 1
OPERATOR: Comparison operator
DATA 2: Comparison data 2

In the example above, if the EN input is active and the content of the float marker 9000 is greater than the float
marker 9001, then the output ENO is set.

NOTE!
If FORMAT is integer, all the numerical data are considered words of 15 bits + signal (-32768 to 32767).

and DATA2L (representing the high and low parts of
data 2)

 Resume of the Function Block

RESL (representing the high and low parts of the

result) and also as QUOC and REM (representing
the quotient and remainder of a division)

In the example above, when the input EN is active, the value of the word marker 8000 is incremented at each
scan cycle. When the bit marker 5000 goes to 1, it indicates overflow and the word marker 8000 remains in
32767.

permitted the configuration of these attributes, which include:

Parameter descriptive text (up to 21 characters);

Unit selection;
Minimum and maximum limit;
Number of decimal positions;
Hexadecimal or normal format;
Reading or writing only;
Modification only with a stopped motor or online;
With or without sign;

Displays or hides the parameter;
Allows saving the parameter value (retentive), when it is used in some blocks (PLC, Calculations and
Transfers) on power down;
Configuration parameter which allows modification with the motor running.
