Components of an Add-On Instruction Logix5000 Controller

Instructions on Add-On are made up of the below elements.
General Information
The tab of General encloses the information you key in when you initial make the instruction. You can utilize this tab to renew that information. The explanation, amendment, note of revision, and information of vendor is duplicated into the practice help for the instruction. The amendment is not automatically controlled by the software. You are in charge for significant how it is utilized and when it is revised. The information class for projects on safety controller shows on the tab of General as well. The class can be safety or customary. Safety Instructions of Add-On have to meet requirements particular to the applications of safety.

Parameters
They identify the interface of instruction; that is, how the instruction shows when utilized. The order of parameter describes the order that the parameters show of the call on instruction.

Local Tags
The tab of Local Tags identifies tags that are utilized by the logic within the Instruction of Add-On and are not noticeable outside the instruction. Other programs or Add-On Instructions in the project can not admittance these tags. The only method to create a local tag or one of its members available from external the instruction is by identifying an alias parameter.

Type of Data
The local tags and parameters are utilized to identify the type of data that is utilized when performing the instruction. The software makes the associated type of data. The software organizes the data type members that communicate to the parameters in the order that the parameters are identified.

Routine Logic
The Add-On Instruction logic routine identifies the main functionality of the instruction. It is the code that accomplishes.

Signature of Instruction
The signature of instruction contains of an ID number that classify the substances of the Instruction of Add-On and a timestamp that recognize the particular date and time at which the signature of instruction was produced or a entry of signature history was built (either came last).

Once upon a time created, the signature of instruction fastens the Add-On Instruction, avoiding it from being revised while the signature is in position. Additionally, when a safety sealed of Add-On Instruction is downloaded for the initial time, an instruction signature of SIL 3 safety is automatically produced. The instruction signature of safety is a number ID that recognize the implementation the safety Add-On Instruction characteristics.
