4. Full Access to Module Object
New Features – V24
Full Access to Module Object
The Module
AOI
InOut Parameter
“Module”
Module Object
Entry Status
Fault Code
Fault Info
FW Supervisor Status
Force Status
INSTANCE
LED Status
Mode
Path
The problem use to be that the module object could NOT be accessed within the AOI due to the inability to pass the module into the AOI.
The What:
The Module Object is now accessible within an AOI
The How:
Created a new Data type called Module (InOut Parameter Only)
The Why:
To allow your HW to be abstracted from your logic.
Added Path Attribute to be retrieved to allow the module comm. path to be returned.

5. What’s the Module Object?
New Features – V24
What’s the Module Object?
The Module Object provides status information relevant to a module.
The Module
Attributes –
Entry Status
Fault Code
Fault Info
FW Supervisor Status
Force Status
INSTANCE
LED Status
Mode
Path
The Info
How to Access
Module Object is how we get communication status from a module.
FYI
That’s New

6. New Attribute to the Module Object: Path
New Features – V24
New Attribute to the Module Object: Path
Use GSV to retrieve the Module Communication Path
SINT Array
Use an SSV to Set the MSG Path
Abstracted Approach
Possible Re-use of Message for Multiple modules
Coding required
Possible way to multiplex a single message instruction to handle set up of modules
Coding required! Use a Solid state machine with Error handling.

Taken the program container and ADDED to it Parameters
Look similar to the AOI with the exception of the Public
Public is one thing that will answer the question on how we will get programs to talk to programs
ONLINE EDITABLE
Copy and paste without disturbing the parameter configuration.
Supports modular automation practices an enables a higher level of encapsulation
AOI-style Input, Output, and In/Out parameters for Programs
Supports strings, arrays, and structures as parameters
Online editable and supports sub-element connections
Ability to interconnect Programs with these parameters
Ability to Copy / Paste Programs without disturbing parameter configuration

10. New Features – V24
Logical Organizer
Logical Organizer provides a way to create an organizational model of the system from the user’s perspective.
This facilitates good modular automation design practices.
Paradigm shift from how the “controller executes code” to how the “user views the system”.

13. Advanced Topics Labs New automation productivity features in v24
Lab 1 - AOI Hardware Abstraction
New Logix Feature to allow one AOI to be accessing the module object.
New GSV Module Object Path Attribute
Lab 2 - Program Parameters
Code modules at the Program level linked together by clearly defined input and output parameters.
Lab 3 - Logical Organizer
The Logical Organizer lets you organize your Logix application any way you would like to without affecting the application execution.
Lab 4 - Partial Import Online
A utility that allows the user to view / handle collisions, rename items and configure connections.
All are in the released version of v24!

14. Other Advanced Topics Labs
Existing Logix Functionality
Lab 5 - User-Defined Data Types (UDT)
Hands on Introduction to Logix User-Defined Data Types
Lab 6 - Add-On Instructions (AOI)
AOI Creation
Reusing an AOI
AOI signatures
Lab 7 - Using an SD Card with a Logix Controller
Hands on example of reading and writing data to the Secure Digitial Card from a Logix application
Have one of the instructors give you an SD Card before starting the lab.
Lab 8 - Logix Controller Change Log
Examples of what is logged
How to read the log file on the SD card
Catch-Up on Existing Studio 5000 Features!
Instructors will need to load up the SD Cars before the start of the class. We where surprised at how many students ran the SD Card lab. Are SD Card interface requires a lot of complicated logic to work, that is the point of this lab is to not over sell are SD Card capabilities.

15. Pick and Choose Your Lab Sections
Lab allows the user to run only the sections they are interested in.
Lab Sections can be run in any order.
Users can run any lab sections they would like to
Users can skip lab sections they are not interested in
Estimated Lab completion times are located in the Contents on page 3.
Using these estimated lab completion times users can gauge how many of the labs they can complete for the allotted time available.
We have about 2-3 hours of lab material!
There is not enough time in this session to complete all lab sections.
