35.1 SFC Program
35.1.3 SFC program creating procedure
Create an SFC program using the following procedure:
1. Operation example
1) When the start pushbutton switch is pressed, the truck moves forward. When the limit switch LS1 turns ON, the
truck immediately starts to move backward.
(The limit switch LS1 is normally OFF, and turns ON when the truck reaches the forward limit. Other limit switches
function in the same way.)
2) When the truck moves backward and the limit switch LS2 turns ON, the truck stops for 5 seconds, and then starts
to move forward again. When the limit switch LS3 turns ON, the truck immediately starts to move backward.
3) When LS2 turns ON after that, the truck driving motor stops.
4) When the start pushbutton switch is pressed again after a series of operations finish, the above operation is
repeated.
2. Creating a process drawing
Create the process drawing shown on the right using the
following procedure:
1) Divide the operation described in the above example
into individual processes, and express each process
in a rectangle in the order of operation from top to
bottom.
2) Connect each process with vertical lines, and write
the condition for each proceeding process. When
performing repeated operations, indicate with an
arrow the process the truck will return to after a
series of operations finish.
3) Write the operation performed in each process on the
right side of each rectangle indicating a process.
