RTU560 PLC – Highlights of IEC61131-3
§ Programming is independent of a specific hardware
manufacturer or a specific sytem supplier.

§ Declaration of variables is similar to the variable declaration

of higher programming languages.

§ Declaration of data types

§ Global and local data

§ Graphical / symbolic programming

§ Online debugging / testing

RTU560 PLC – POUs: Worksheets

Every POU consists of three different types of worksheets:

These three worksheets are represented graphically by<
Icons in the project tree:

1. In the description worksheet comments can be added

for documentation.

2. In the variable worksheet all variables are going to be used.

3. The code body worksheet contains the instructions

(depending on the defined programming language).

RTU560 PLC – POUs: Programs

• Program are POUs which contain

a logical combination of functions and function blocks
according to the requirements of the PLC application.

• The behaviour and the use of programs

are similar to function blocks (see below)

• Within a program, it is possible to call functions and function

blocks. Recursive call are not allowed.

RTU560 PLC – POUs: Function block

Function blocks are POU with:

• Multiple input/output parameters and internal memory.

• Within a function block it is possible to call another

function block or functions. Recursive call are not allowed

• IEC61131-3 lists different type of standard function blocks:

- Bistable elements SR, RS
- Edge detection function blocks R_TRIG, F_TRIG
- Counters CTU, CTD
- Timer function blocks TON, TOF

• The value returned by a function block depends on its functions

and of the value of its internal memory.

13 January 2020 | Slide 28
RTU560 PLC – Functions

• IEC61131-3 lists different types of standard functions

(Examples):

- Type conversion functions INT_TO_REAL

- Numerical functions ABS, LOG
- Standard arithmetic functions ADD, MUL
- Bit-string functions AND, SHL
- Selection and comparison functions SEL, GE
- Character string functions RIGHT INSERT
- Functions of time data types SUB with data type TIME

RTU560 PLC – Data types

Data types defines:

- The initial value,
- Range of possible values and
- The number of bits

IEC61131-3 defines three different data types:

- Basic data types
- Generic data types
- User defined data types,

© ABB Group
13 January 2020 | Slide 32
RTU560 PLC – Generic data types

Generic data types includes groups of basic data types.

• They are called e.g. ANY_BIT or ANY_INT (see IEC61131-3 p32)

• ANY_INT includes e.g. the elementary data types

INT, SINT, DINT, UINT, USINT, and UDINT.

• Generic data types are necessary to define what kind of basic

data types can be connected to inputs or outputs of functions

• If a function can be connected with ANY_INT, it means that

variables of the data types INT, SINT, DINT, UINT, USINT, and
UDINT, can be connected.

• ANY_NUMBER includes ANY_INT and ANY_REAL

© ABB Group
13 January 2020 | Slide 33
RTU560 PLC – User defined data types

• User defined data types are data types

which can be declared by the user.

• They have to be defined with a

TYPE..END_TYPE declaration

• User defined data types can be structures or arrays

• User defined data types are declared

• In the data type worksheet in the subtree “Data Types”

RTU560 PLC – Libraries

• Libraries allow to reuse programs, function blocks, functions

and user defined datatypes by various projects.

• Libraries are placed in a separate branch project tree.

• Firmware Libraries contains POEs created by the producer of

the PLC-system. The file-extension is *.fwl.

• User Libraries can be created by the user. To reuse POEs

from previous projects. The file-extension is *.mwt.
( User libraries of projects before release 1.3.6.14 have
file-extension *.pwt.
