PIC16F1847 Microcontroller-Based Programmable Logic Controller: Hardware and Basic Concepts

1st Edition

by Murat Uzam (Author)

Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) have been used extensively and are offered in terms of functions, program memories, and the number of inputs/outputs (I/Os), ranging from a few to thousands. With a focus on how to design and implement a PLC, this volume explains hardware and associated basic concepts of PLC. Authors have used PIC16F1847 microcontroller with: 8192 words of Flash program memory, 1024 bytes of SRAM data memory, 256 bytes of EEPROM data memory, the maximum operating speed of 32 MHz, 16-level deep hardware stack, an enhanced instruction set consisting of 49 single-word instructions. Flowcharts are provided to help the understanding of macros (instructions). Aimed at researchers and graduate students in electrical engineering, power electronics, robotics and automation, sensors, this book:

Explains how to design and use a PIC16F1847 microcontroller-based PLC.
Provides easy to use software structures written by using the PIC Assembly programming language.
Describes a PLC from a designer's perspective.
Explains the basic hardware and basic software structures of the PIC16F1847 based PLC.
Focuses on concepts like Contact and Relay Based Macros, Flip-Flop Macros, Timer Macros, Counter Macros and Comparison Macros.
