 Purpose of a laboratory work:
1. Programming using the structured text.
2. Calculation of power consumption table.
3. Ethernet network tuning.
4. Create the visualization of a process.

Objectives:
Obtaining the skills in Modicon M340 controllers configuration and networking
configuration.

Practice tasks
Part 1. Calculation of power consumption of controller.
In first part of laboratory work, I created configuration of the system and calculated
power supply module. Modules that I chose are shown in figure 1.

Figure 1 – Power consumption of system.

1. Processor: BMX P34 2010. For 3.3V0 mA; 24V rack90mA; 24V sensor
0mA.
2. Discrete I/O: BMX DDM 3202K. For 3.3V150mA; 24V rack 0 mA; 24V
sensor  55 mA;
3. Analog I/O : BMX AMM 0600. For 3.3V  150mA; 24V rack  130 mA; 24V
sensor  0 mA;
4. Communication: BMX NOE 0110. For 3.3V  0mA; 24V rack  90mA; 24V
sensor  0 mA;
Total current: For 3.3V: (0+150+150+0)mA= 300 mA.
For 24V rack: (90+0+130+90)mA=310mA.
For 24V sensor: (0+55+0+0)mA = 55mA.
Total consumption voltage: (300*3.3)+(310*24)+(55*24)=1089+7440+1320=
9849mW.
Total power used: (9849/20000)*100= 49.245%.
In the program, in section Power Supply and IO budget shown used and available
power storage.

Part 2.
In this part, it is necessary to create a configuration of Modicon M340 controller with
processor PLC BMX P34 2010. Then, I opened the configuration window in local
rack and chose modules such as Discrete I/O module (DDM 3202K), Analog I/O
module (AMM 0600) and communication module (NOE 0110).

In the discrete module I should to set following parameters:

1. Input processing task MAST.
2. Indication of power (Supply monitoring)should be active.
 Figure 3 – Discrete module parameters.

Next step is setting parameters of processor.

1. The words of internal memory %Mwi in case of “cold” start disabled.
2. The number of internal bits %M–512.
3. The amount of internal memory words %MW-1024.
4. Word Count constants %KW–256
The processors setting shown below in figure 4.

Figure 4 – Parameters of processor.

So, then I should create a network configuration. In section communication, I created

logical network “Ethernet_1”
As a IP Address I took the IP of simulator. So, the IP Address is 127.0.01. Mask of
subnet is 255.255.255.0
The configuration of communication is shown in figure 5.

Part 3(Practical part)

In 3rd part, I had some practical exercises and tasks for individual job to learn and get
knowledge about program that written Structured Text programming language.

II Example of task solving usage the construction if ... then ... else
Task 1. You need to enable light, when the button is pressed. For solving this
problem use the RE function (setting the Rising Engine).

The program:
status_button:=button; (*overwrite operation to set edge*)
if RE(status_button) then light:=1; (*condition for turning on the indicator*)
else light:=0; (*condition for turning off the indicator*)
end_if;

3 light ebool Indicator
Unity Pro realization:
When I push the button, red indicator turning on and button got ‘1’ value. Otherwise,
button got ‘0’ value.

Figure 6 – Program of lamp turning on/off.

Task 2.
It is necessary to create a program in which when you press the button plus
"counter value will be increased on 1, when you click on the "minus", the count is
reduced by 1.

counter value
5 Counter Int Counter

Task 3
It is necessary to create two new counters, one counter will have a format
INT (integer),the second the TIME (time). Counters must increase the value to 1 in
the time interval of 1 second by using the system bit% S6.

Figure 8 – Program for counting time and counter.

Table 3 – Table for solve problem.

Practice task for students:
Task 1. Create a program with two counters. One integer counter, second time
format. It is necessary to program the capacity of counters 60 for the integer and 60
seconds to the counter, working with the format time. Extension counters must
occur in the time interval of 100 ms.
Starting work counters will be carried out after pressing the "START" button, the
counters stop working after pressing the "STOP" button. Create the visualization of
the program.

Task 2. Given two indicators of different colors. After pressing the "START" lights
up the first indicator, the second indicator is activated after 5 seconds. Program this
sequence using the counters. Create the visualization screen in real time.

Conclusion
In this laboratory work, teams were assigned various tasks written in the ST
(Structured Text) programming language using Unity Pro XL software. The
tasks encompassed configuring settings of controller modules in the simulator,
starting from selecting the processor type to simulating the program's
execution. Additionally, participants learned how to calculate the power
consumption of the system using the Modicon M340 catalog.
Moreover, visualization of the process was developed by simulating the data
variables, enhancing understanding and representation of the system's
operation.
