Concept V2.5 Lesson 10 Objectives: After completing this lesson, the learner will be able to:  Define what is described by the term “Project”.  Describe the “Scan Cycle” of the controller when executing an IEC Project.  Describe the two methods available to set Section Execution Order.

Concept V2.5 A Project represents the entire program for a complete process that is controlled by one CPU A Project includes files for the program, the configuration, local and global DFB’s Several projects for one plant could be stored in one directory or in separate directories A project may be partitioned into one or more Program Sections Structure of Concept: The Project

Concept V2.5 A Project can be partitioned in up to 1,600 sections A Section is like a chapter in a book. It allows the structuring of projects into maintainable modules A Section is programmable in any of the following IEC Languages: FBD, SFC, LD, IL, or ST A Section can be used to monitor the process status in online mode Each Section can have it’s execution status enabled or disabled individually Structure of Concept: The Section

Concept V2.5 The memory of a Quantum PLC is generally divided into three parts: Memory for the EXEC file –The EXEC file contains the operating system and one or more runtime systems (IEC and / or LL984) for the processing of user programs. State RAM can be partitioned into several areas: –the used 0x, 1x, 3x, and 4x references –a reserved area for additional 0x, 1x, 3x, and 4x references –if necessary, an extended memory area for 6x references Program memory –The program memory can be partitioned into several areas, depending on the application: »which CPU used, Programming logic (IEC and / or LL984), I/O map, Loadables, etc. Structure of Concept: The Memory Partition

Operating / runtime system Exec file: e.g., Q186V222.BIN State - RAM: used references 0x, 1x, 3x, 4x reserved area for expansion Extended memory Program memory: e.g CPU x13 xx LL984 User Program ULEX Loadable IEC User Program IEC User Data IEC Loadables reserved area for expansion Data for ASCII messages, Peer Cop, Ethernet etc. reserved area for expansion I/O map etc. The Quantum Memory Partition Concept V2.5

Concept V2.5 Start ‘New project’ When you save a project the first time go to Save Project as... and enter a project name If the required sub-directory is not already created you can create it by specifying the full path for the file save e.g., C:\PLANT_DIR\project_name.PRJ Advice: Do not save your project under the Main CONCEPT sub-directory Creating a Project
