1. Arcode PLC Module Guide
1.1. PLC Program:
The program consists of at most 64 lines of assignment
operations.
All program lines are executed every 0.01 seconds.
Execution starts at line-1 and ends at line-64.
Every program line is in the following format:
LINE_NO: RESULT <= (NOT_1) OPERAND1
OPERATOR (NOT_2) OPERAND2
NOT-1: If we want to invert OPERAND1, we may use this
by checking its checkbox.
NOT-2: If we want to invert OPERAND2, we may use this
by checking its checkbox.
Every program line is a logical operation having 2 operands
and the result of the operation (either 0 or 1) is written into
the result field.
OPERAND1 and OPERAND2 fields may have the
following values:
• 0: Logical 0 constant
• 1: Logical 1 constant
• in1...in16: Input-1...16
• mem1...mem16: Memory bit 1...16
• to1...to8: Timer-1...8 output
RESULT field may have the following values:
• -----: No operation
• out1...out16: Output-1...16
• mem1...mem16: Memory bit 1...16
OPERATOR field may have the following values:
• &&: Returns 1 if both OPERANDs are 1 (AND)
• //: Returns 1 if any of the OPERANDs are 1 (OR)
• ==: Returns 1 if OPERAND1 and OPERAND2 are
equal (XNOR)
• ! =: Returns 0 if OPERAND1 and OPERAND2 are
equal (XOR)
• ! &: Returns 0 if both OPERANDs are 1 (NAND)
• ! /: Returns 0 if any of the OPERANDs are 1
(NOR)
1.2. PLC Timer Settings:
PLC module contains 8 timers. Every timer has 1 input and
1 output.
Timers are used to On-delay and/or Off-delay signals. On-
delay and Off-delay times may be adjusted independently.
Below is a time-chart explaining the operation of On-delay
and Off-delay:
1.3. PLC Inputs:
PLC module can get its 16 available inputs from two
sources.
• PLC inputs may be connected internally to Arcode
programmable output functions by using the "PLC
Inputs" group of PLC module. So that, for
example, the Car Light output function of Arcode
may be used as an input to the PLC module.
• In Arcode programmable input functions settings:
Function “500.1:(PLCI1) PLC Input-1” to
“500.16:(PLCI16) PLC Input-16”
Using this method, PLC inputs may be gathered from any
of the programmable inputs of devices connected to the
CANbus.
Note: If a PLC input is set to more than one physical input,
its value will be the logical OR of all input signals.
1.4. PLC Outputs:
The 16 available PLC outputs may be sent to any physical
programmable output by using the programmable output
functions of Arcode:
Function “500.1:(PLCO1) PLC Output-1” to
“500.16:(PLCO16) PLC Output-16”
Using this method, PLC outputs may be sent to any
programmable outputs of devices connected to CANbus.
Note: A PLC output may be sent to many outputs at the
same time.
Note: If PLC inputs and outputs are connected to devices
other than Arcode mainboard, slight delays may occur due
to CANbus communication. So they should not be used in
this way for safety critical purposes.

Examples:
• Logically AND'ing 3 inputs:
01: mem1 <= in1 && in2
02: out1 <= in3 && mem1
• Flip-Flop with Enable Input:

Program:
01: ti1 <= to1 == 0
02: out1 <= to1 && in1

1.5. Transfer PLC program file to Arcode:

PLC program file (SLOTx.apf -> x: 1,…,99), that has been created with Arcode Parameter Editor, should be copied to arcode/plc
folder of SD card. This file is sent to Arcode memory by entering” Transfer PLC program from SD card to Arcode” which is the
submenu of “SD Card Operations” of AREM.
