Sample Continuous Function Chart CFC Program: Basic Motion (Power, Home, Cycle)

Here's a simple sample Continuous Function Chart CFC program showing single axis motion.

Select the project version that matches your version of Parker Automation Manager:

As part of the project, there's a Visualization that allows users to trigger the functions. Note the motor needs to be energized for motion or homing.

Note a PAC320 hardware controller isn't necessary to run this:

For Parker Automation Manager 1.4 or later: When in PAM1.4, Click Online at the top of the window -> Simulation -> Login. From here, PAM will run the program within a simulated environment. Make sure to uncheck simulation when trying to connect a physical PAC320.

For Parker Automation Manager 1.3 or earlier: You can use an application with the device type: CODESYS SoftMotion Win V3 and run the simulator. The simulator is launched from Start > All Programs > Parker Hannifin > Parker Automation Manager > CODESYS SoftMotion Win V3. After Build (F11), click Online > Login. This will create a virtual PLC and allow you to run PLC simulation (Start or F5). Note the CODESYS SoftMotion Win V3 will launch a DOS window allowing simulation of motion and will run for two hours before disabling. This window can be minimized but motion simulation is disabled when this window is closed.
