In the previous articles, we built an I/O architecture using:
Direct physical I/O
Alias Tags
Individual mapped tags
XIC/XIO and OTE
MOV
COP
CPS
These methods allow us to separate physical hardware from application logic.
But as the machine …
Read MoreThroughout this series, we have examined several ways to build an I/O architecture in Studio 5000:
Direct I/O
Alias Tags
Individual Mapping
MOV
COP
CPS
UDTs
Each method offers different architectural advantages.
But eventually someone asks:
Which method is fastest?
Or:
Which …
Read MoreThroughout this series, we have explored several different ways to handle I/O in Studio 5000.
We started with the simplest possible approach:
Local:1:I.Data.0
Then we introduced:
Alias Tags
Individual Mapping
MOV
COP
CPS
UDTs
Digital I/O Processing
Analog Scaling
Analog Output Processing
Performance …
As Studio 5000 projects become larger, tag organization becomes increasingly important.
A small machine may only have a few motors, valves, sensors, and alarms. In that type of project, individual tags …
