CTTBLCLR - CTRIO Clear Table


The CTRIO Clear Table (CTTBLCLR) instruction is used to remove the currently loaded Preset Table from the specified CTRIO Discrete Output.

 

Note: Changes made to CTRIO Preset tables using this instruction do not change any of the Preset tables configured in the System Configuration for the CTRIO. They are temporary and are lost on a power-cycle of the CTRIO or if some other table is loaded in their place. The changes cannot be viewed, for example, in the PLC --> System Configuration.

 

The red triangle in the upper left corner indicates the CTRIO Clear Table (CTTBLCLR) is a Fully Asynchronous instruction.

 

Note: The CTTBLCLR instruction can be used with both the CTRIO and CTRIO2 module.

 

Inputs:

The input is edge-triggered, meaning that each time this input logic transitions from OFF to ON, the CTRIO Clear Table (CTTBLCLR) will:

  • Remove the currently loaded Preset table from the CTRIO Discrete Output Device

  • Run to completion, even if the input logic goes OFF before the operation is complete

Parameters:

Note: Use the F9 key (Element Browser) at any time to see a complete list of the memory locations that are valid in the current field of the instruction.

 

Discrete Output Device - designates which of the pre-configured CTRIO Discrete Output Devices to interact with. Before this instruction can select a Discrete Output Device, a CTRIO Device must be configured with at least one of its output channels setup for Discrete output mode.

 

Part of the configuration for a device is assigning a name to the device. It is that name which will show up in the Discrete Output Device selection drop-down menu. For more information on configuring CTRIO devices go to the Module Configuration Section under System Configuration.

 

Note: no devices available - indicates that there are no CTRIO Devices that have been pre-configured to perform this instruction.

 

Discrete Output Structure -  This field displays the name of the Discrete Output Structure that will be used by this instruction. This structure was created when the CTRIO module configuration was read during the Module Configuration phase.

 

On Success - designates which of the following actions to take if the CTRIO Clear Table operation is successful.

 

  • SET BIT - The specific BIT location will be turned OFF when the CTRIO Clear Table (CTTBLCLR) instruction is first enabled, and then SET ON if the operation is successful. This value can be any writable bit location.
     

  • JMP to Stage - JMP to the specified Stage. The target Stage must be in the same Program code block as the CTRIO Clear Table (CTTBLCLR) instruction, you cannot specify a Stage in a different Program code block. This selection will function like a standalone Jump to Stage instruction. Click here for more information on the Jump To Stage instruction.

 

On Error - designates which of the following two actions to take if the CTRIO Clear Table operation is unsuccessful.

 

  • SET BIT - The specific BIT location will be turned OFF when the CTRIO Clear Table (CTTBLCLR) instruction is first enabled, and then SET ON if the operation is unsuccessful. This value can be any writable bit location.
     

  • JMP to Stage - JMP to the specified Stage. The target Stage must be in the same Program code block as the CTRIO Clear Table (CTTBLCLR) instruction, you cannot specify a Stage in a different Program code block. This selection will function the same as a standalone Jump to Stage instruction. Click here for more information on the Jump To Stage instruction.

 

Note: any time the On Error condition occurs, the CTRIO generates an Error Code that can be read in the <Module Name>.ErrorCode (Module Name is the name assigned to the CTRIO in the Module Configuration). The List of Error Code values (in decimal) follows:

Description of a Typical CTRIO Clear Table (CTTBLCLR) Stage Diagram:

 

To the right is a stage diagram of a simple sequence control that loads a Preset Table for a CTRIO discrete output, enables the output and utilizes the Preset Table. When the table is complete, the discrete output is then disabled and the Preset table cleared out for this CTRIO discrete output.

 

LdPT (Load Preset Table) is the initial stage that loads a particular Preset Table for a CTRIO discrete output. When loaded successfully it transitions to the next stage.

 

EnOut (Enable Output) stage resets a CTRIO input count (mechanically associated with the CTRIO pulse output) to zero and enables the CTRIO discrete output for use with the Preset Table just loaded. When successful it transitions to the next stage.

 

RunPT (Run Preset Table) runs a CTRIO pulse output that is associated with the CTRIO input count in order to make use of the Preset Table. When a certain number of pulses has been reached the process is complete and transition is made to the next stage to clean up.

 

DisOut (Disabe Output) stage disables the CTRIO discrete output and transitions to the next stage.

 

ClrTbl (Clear Table) stage uses the CTTBLCLR instruction to clear the Preset Table from the CTRIO discrete output.

 

Exit stage exits the Program code block.

Description of a Typical CTRIO Clear Table (CTTBLCLR) Stage Ladder:

 

To the right is equivalent ladder for the above stage diagram of a simple sequence control that loads a Preset Table for a CTRIO discrete output, enables the output and utilizes the Preset Table. When the table is complete, the discrete output is then disabled and the Preset table cleared out for this CTRIO discrete output.

 

This example presupposes the existence of the following System Configuration for the CTRIO (PLC --> System Configuration --> Module Configuration(s) --> CTRIO_000 -->):

  • Configure I/O -->

    • Channel 1 --> Quad Counter.

    • Outputs -->

      • Out0 --> Pulse (Step/Dir)

      • Out2 --> Discrete on Ch1/Fn1.

  • Discrete Tables --> Add Preset Table: with the following parameters:
    File Number: 1
    Name: MyPT
    Scales: Unscaled
    Entry: SET at 2000
    Entry: RESET at 4000

  • A quadrature encoder is wired to CTRIO's Channel 1 Input A & B that is physically associated with the motor attached to the CTRIO's Output 0 & 1.

  • A stepper motor is wired to CTRIO's Output 0 & 1 that is physically associated with the quadrature encoder attached to the CTRIO's Channe 1 Input A & B.

  • A discrete device that utilizes the CTRIO's Output is wired to CTRIO's Output 2.

 

LoadPT (Load Preset Table) is the initial stage that executes a CTTBLLD instruction to load the MyPT Preset Table for CTRIO discrete output Out2. When loaded successfully it transitions to the EnableOut stage. If there is an error transition is made to the ErrorStage stage where logic (not shown here) should exist to handle the error.

 

EnableOut stage resets CTRIO Channel 1 Function 1 input count to zero and enables the CTRIO discrete output Out2 for use with the MyPT Preset Table just loaded. When the feedback bits (.OutputEnabled, .AtResetValue) show this is successful transition is made to the RunPT stage.

 

RunPT (Run Preset Table) executes a CTRUNVEL instruction that generates 35,000 pulses out the CTRIO pulse output Out0 at Frequency 1000 pps. If there is an error, transition is made to the ErrorStage stage. Since this output is physically associated with the CTRIO Channel 1 Function 1 quadrature encoder input, the input count increases, exercising the Preset Table and the CTRIO discrete output Out2. When 35,000 pulses have been output, the process is complete and transition is made to the DisableOut stage to clean up. Suspend bit is used to temporarily suspend the CTRUNVEL if need be.

 

DisableOut stage disables the CTRIO discrete output and transitions to the ClearTable stage.

 

ClearTable stage uses the CTTBLCLR instruction to clear the Preset Table from the CTRIO discrete output Out2 and transitions to the Exit stage. If there is an error, transition is made to the ErrorStage stage.

 

Exit stage exits the Program code block.

 

ErrorStage is where logic (not shown here) should exist to handle the errors for this sequence.
