[0034] Program segment network 1: Press the start button SB0, through pin I0.0, M10.0 is connected, timer T37 starts timing and oscillating, that is, the timer is connected once per second, forming a repeated connection (second pulse); the purpose is to Figure 1 The counter is prepared, and the counter counts once it is turned on; the counter uses the status bit of timer T37;

[0035] Program segment 2: The counter is controlled by the second pulse and starts to count up. The counter value MW100 is the real-time display of the count. When MW100 is equal to 0 (the subtraction count is 0 when it is not subtracted), the normally closed point of M10.1 is connected, the counter is counting up, and the indicator lights light up from the middle to both sides in sequence; when MW100 is equal to 5, M10.1 is connected, the normally open point of M10.1 is connected, and the subtraction count starts. When a number is reduced, a light goes out, and it goes out from both sides to the middle, and the cycle continues; the counter ADD terminal is connected for counting up, and the SUB terminal is connected for counting down (see program terminal network 3), see Figure 2 .

[0036] Program segment 3: The following is a counter composed of addition and subtraction instructions. M0.5 is a second pulse. Here, a rising edge must be added. It is connected once in 1 second and counted once. To prevent the count from exceeding, conditional restrictions are placed before the increase and decrease counts respectively; see Figure 3 ;

[0037] Program segment 4: To prevent mutual interference during switching, a switch increase and decrease closing point is added to limit the switching. When the counter MW100 value is equal to 1, the middle Q0.4 and Q0.5 are lit first, and then light up from the middle to both sides. When it is equal to 2, Q0.3 and Q0.6 are lit. When it is equal to 3, Q0.2 and Q0.7 are lit. When it is equal to 4, Q0.1 and Q1.0 are lit. When the value is equal to 5, Q0.0 and Q1.1 are lit. At this time, all 10 indicator lights are lit and remain on; see Figure 4 Schematic diagram of programming program segment 4 shown; Figure 5 The figure shows the corresponding indicator light of the PLC circuit corresponding to program segment 4 starting to light up.

[0038] Program terminal 5: Extinguishing mode: To prevent mutual interference during switching, a switch increase and decrease opening point is added to limit the switching. When the counter value MW100 is equal to 5, M10.1 is turned on, the M10.1 normally open point is turned on, and the countdown starts. When one number is reduced, one light is turned off, and the lights are turned off from both sides to the middle, and the cycle continues. The following is the countdown program. When MW100 is equal to 4, Q0.0 and Q1.1 are turned off first, and then from both sides to the middle; when MW100 is equal to 3, Q0.1 and Q1.0 are turned off; when it is equal to 2, Q0.2 and Q0.7 are turned off; when it is equal to 1, Q0.3 and Q0.6 are turned off; when it is equal to 0, Q0.4 and Q0.5 are turned off; when MW100 is equal to 0 (the countdown is 0 when it is reduced to zero); Figure 6 Schematic diagram of programming segment 5; Figure 7 This is a diagram showing that the corresponding indicator light of the PLC circuit corresponding to program segment 5 stops going out.

[0039] Program segment 6: After pressing I0.1 and disconnecting the start point, use the falling edge to clear MW100 and reset the entire program from Q0.0 to Q1.1 to stop. Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of programming segment 6.

[0040] Figure 9 The wiring diagram of the PLC used in the PLC circuit: 7-1200 type 1214C DC / DC / DC PLC.

[0041] PLC Description: Using Siemens S7-1200 model: 1214C DC / DC / DC transistor output type, 1. The lower port is the output, the card power supply is 3L+3M, the output signal Q terminal output is 24V, and the indicator lights are all 24V power supply. Here, only the indicator lights are not using relays. When there is a signal output at the PLC output terminal Q, only 24V+ is provided. To make the indicator light up, a 24V is required to form a loop. This is an external connection mode. The PLC does not provide 24V negative internally. 2. The upper port is the input terminal I 0.0 pin connected to the button SB0 for starting, pin I 0.1 connected to the button SB1 for stopping, and 1M is the common terminal connected to the 24V negative to form a loop with the input 24V+.

[0042] The following is a counter composed of addition and subtraction instructions. M0.5 is a second pulse. The rising edge must be added here. It is connected once in 1 second and counted once to prevent the count from exceeding the limit. Conditional restrictions are placed before the increase and decrease counts respectively; and the value of the counter is used as the control condition to skip the cycle of lighting the indicator light with the instruction.

[0043] When counting up, the indicator lights start to light up from the middle pins Q0.4 and Q0.5 to both sides, and when counting down, they go out from both sides to the middle.

[0044] Compared with the previous ones, this technical solution is simpler in control because it uses set and reset instructions, counter and timer instructions, and can help students have broader ideas in programming.

[0045] Press the start button SB0, and the indicator lights corresponding to the middle pins Q0.4 and Q0.5 will light up first, and then one pair will light up from the middle to both sides every 1 second. After all 12 indicator lights are lit, one pair will go out every 1 second from Q0.0 and Q1.1 on both sides to the middle, until Q0.4 and Q0.5 in the middle are off, and one cycle is complete.

[0046] Press the stop button SB1 to stop the entire program;

[0047] This PLC functional experiment platform is designed based on the computational and control capabilities of the PLC processor CPU. By improving conventional control and streamlining logical control, it achieves fast and stable equipment operation, embodying automation and improving students' programming skills. It allows them to have a broader perspective, simplify complex content, and visualize abstract content. This reduces teaching costs and mitigates potential safety risks in terms of teaching organization.

[0048] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any modifications or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
