Outline
• Architecture Comparison
• Benefits of the New Program
• Looking Ahead
4
Original Architecture:
Control of Output Devices
• Device classes
Two-way valve, reversing motor starter, VFD, etc.
• User-Defined Datatype (UDT) for each device class
• Subroutine for each device class
• For each device:
Create data tag, type is the device class UDT
Program inputs in the data tag
Call subroutine
Assign outputs in the data tag to real-world outputs
