쉐도잉 연습: What is a PLC and how does it work? - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기
레슨 만드는 중...
1
You may never have thought about it, because it's one of those easy things to take for granted, but something told that traffic light on your drive to work today when to change from red to green.
2
Similarly, every time you jump in an elevator, something is monitoring those buttons to see what floor you select,
3
and then controlling a motor's ramp and acceleration to get you safely to your destination.
4
The machines responsible for all of these calculations
5
and controls going on in the background
6
and making everyday life possible are called PLCs
7
or programmable logic controllers like this one
8
and in today's video I'm gonna explain to you what they are
9
and how they work basically the entire world of controls
10
and automation and robotics and hobby electronics boil down to inputs and outputs.
11
Inputs are things about your environment like the state of an actuator being extended or retracted or volume, temperature, pressure, flow.
12
Outputs are things that you can control to affect your environment like a motor or a pump or a valve.
13
There's a big need in industry to monitor inputs, make decisions or calculations based on that as well as track things over time like counters,
14
variables, and statuses and then use those decisions to control those outputs.
15
If you've ever tinkered with an Arduino or a Raspberry Pi, you're probably pretty familiar with the basic concepts we just talked about.
16
But in industry you need something that is going to scan those inputs, make decisions about them in the exact same time, in a defined set amount of time,
17
every time, and control outputs very repeatedly and reliably.
18
This is where the PLC or Programmable Logic Controller comes in.
19
If you take one thing away from this video, it's keep this word in mind: determinism.
20
The biggest difference between an industrial PLC or industrial PC
21
and a standard Windows laptop or MacBook is the repeatability and determinism of the code that's running on those machines.
22
Your Windows PC could stop to do something like garbage collection that could create inconsistencies in how it's processing logic.
23
Your PLC will never do that.
24
The way the code is written and compiled
25
and the way the hardware is built is basically a promise that the inputs will be taken
26
of at the very beginning it will process
27
and execute the code in a known and repeatable way
28
and then it will make decisions about the states to control outputs to repeatable in a way
29
that is exactly defined with this comes a bit of syntactic nuance
30
and different programming languages even than conventional computer programming is done in
31
because the entire field
32
and the need for plc's started as a need to replace these complicated intricate relay circuits the most common way you
33
diagram which actually looks more like an electrical circuit than a common programming language.
34
And these PLCs are used absolutely everywhere.
35
Oil and gas, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, paper and wood products.
36
It literally does not matter the industry.
37
You pick one, PLCs are driving it.
38
Theme parks and roller coasters, PLCs are driving them.
39
Elevators and stoplights, PLCs are driving them.
40
The need for a highly repeatable deterministic machine is why the PLC industry manufacturers in this space are Siemens,
41
Allen Bradley, ABB, Modicon, Schneider Electric, as well as some other manufacturers that make them for more focused,
42
specialized purposes, often like Keyence, Mitsubishi, Panasonic, and Bekoff.
43
But that's enough of a high level.
44
Let's go ahead and take a look at some practical examples of how these PLCs work.
45
Okay, for the practical side of today's video, we're going to use a Siemens setup.
46
So I have a basic affordable Siemens PLC and their programming software open.
47
That doesn't matter.
48
What we're talking about is how PLCs work.
49
So regardless of what platform your job or your industry or your career takes you to, the stuff we're about to talk about is platform agnostic.
50
Okay, so I have a brand new PLC program open, there's no code running on my PLC.
51
The only thing I've done in advance is I have two push buttons and an output light.
52
So I have two digital inputs on off inputs, and one on off output we can make reference to while we talk through some of these concepts.
53
And then this main organization block is generated by Siemens and most PLC providers when you create a new PLC program.
54
You can think of this as your main loop.
55
So by default, every PLC has some master thing that it references while it's doing code and logic execution,
56
and that's your main function.
57
So typically, especially in larger PLC programs, you don't put any code inside main.
58
All you do is you want to have execute code.
59
And I'm going to add a new block, call it a function, and I'll just say example function.
60
So this will be very simple.
61
The way main typically works is you would have it execute the function example by calling it here.
62
And then inside example, we can put that code back in there, which is start push button, light turns on, and we'll actually say when the start button is pressed to turn on the light.
63
And when the stop button is pressed, you got it turn off the light.
64
And I'm not going to spend a bunch of time teaching with the ladder logic that I'm writing here, because I have tutorials on ladder programming on the channel already,
65
I really want to focus So to speak briefly about scan time, which is the most important concept in PLC programming,
66
the way a PLC is going to execute is it's going to go to its main organization block
67
and it's going to execute all code from top to bottom, left to right, just like you're reading a book.
68
does anything in example 2 and it processes code in a deterministic way like we said in the intro.
69
It starts by taking a snapshot view of what all the inputs are currently showing
70
and then it executes all of the logic that lives on the PLC
71
and then it makes a decision about whether or not to change the state of outputs based on that.
72
It's actually doing these steps in that defined order
73
It's just doing it at a cycle time that's typically one to two milliseconds for a well -structured small program.
74
So it doesn't even feel like it takes any time at all to the human.
75
And so to show this, I'm going to go ahead and activate this program.
76
We're going to load this onto the PLC really quick.
77
And then I'll show you that the PLC actually tells you how long it's taking to cycle the code.
78
So if I go to example and I go live monitor, I can press the start push button and the light turns on
79
and I can push the stop push button and the light turns off.
80
And to me, it looks instantaneous.
81
It looks like I pushed the button, the light turned on immediately.
82
But that's because if we go to online and diagnostics and go to cycle time, the PLC is telling me, hey, I am running at one millisecond.
83
Okay.
84
I'm doing an entire cycle processing everything I have on my PLC in one second.
85
The longest cycle time it's This is very,
86
very fast for larger projects and complicated projects doing advanced math.
87
It is normal to see these get up there to eight, nine, 10 milliseconds.
88
You actually want to try to keep this number down by writing efficient code.
89
Okay.
90
So every major PLC manufacturer gives you some way like this to see your cycle time.
91
And that's a good indicator of how your code is running, how burdened, how overloaded your PLC is.
92
do all your evaluation logic, and then make decisions about what to do with your outputs,
93
makes sense as an overall structure how PLCs execute code to you.
94
So let's take a little bit more of a look at what the reading top to bottom
95
and left to right actually means practically.
96
Let's go ahead back into example and let's put a few rungs of code in here that sort of conflict
97
light to turn on.
98
And if either push button is not pressed, then I want the light to turn off.
99
And you can maybe see already where the conflict could come in.
100
What about the case where one button is pressed and one button is released?
101
Okay.
102
And so again, the way this code reads, even if you're not familiar with ladder is if start push button, or if stop push button,
103
so my two buttons, if either of those are pressed, turn on the light, but the next rung of code is If not start push button or not stop push button,
104
turn off the light.
105
I'm going to go ahead and put this on my PLC here
106
and we're going to take a look at what that means.
107
Okay, and you can see just when I go online to monitor it, neither of the push buttons are being pressed right now, so the light is off.
108
Now I'm going to push one of the push buttons.
109
What do you think is going to happen to the light?
110
It doesn't turn on, okay?
111
I can verify the light is off in the field, even though the coil right here is lit up green saying, hey, I'm trying to turn the light on.
112
What's also happening is the other button's still not pressed,
113
and so the light is still not turning on because this rung of code is getting executed after this piece of code, which means it's saying, alright,
114
check network 1, oh, I should turn the light on.
115
and not stop and not start. So...
116
If I release both of them, the light goes back off.
117
What's super interesting about this and a really good explanation of what's going on here is
118
if I put this to not and not down here and I put this to on or on up here, flip these around.
119
Now what I've done is I've changed the order of the two rungs exact same code.
120
But now I've said if not start start push button or not stop push button, the light should be off.
121
But then I've said if start push button or stop push button, the light should be off.
122
So now when I hold just one light down and it doesn't matter which push button, excuse me, push button, not light.
123
It doesn't matter which button I hold down, the light turns on in the field.
124
I don't have to hold both of them down.
125
What happened here is we changed the order that those rungs execute in.
126
So we're saying even though these rungs are often in conflict with each other where I have only one button pressed in,
127
then whichever one comes later in my program is going to win.
128
You can use this structure of left to right
129
and top to bottom to your advantage as a programmer if you know what you're doing,
130
but it can also create a lot of headaches where you'll have overwritten outputs if you don't know what you're doing. So frankly,
131
a much cleaner way of structuring your code is find a way to only control outputs from one rung of code.
132
If you want to make it to where start or stop turns the light on, don't have a different rung of code that turns the light off.
133
Find a way to put all of the code of how this code processes top to bottom and left to right.
134
Let's take a look at one more concept in the PLC and that's the idea behind a cyclic interrupt.
135
What if you want something that does not execute as fast as humanly possible that the PLC is continuously evaluating for.
136
So it's usually generally considered pretty cool and useful that the PLC can process something every millisecond.
137
Let's go ahead and delete that function and say we actually want something to be evaluated no faster.
138
than every half second.
139
I can make a new organization block and call it cyclic interrupt.
140
And this is slightly different in Alan Bradley.
141
They do timed function blocks as well, but a little bit different to set up again, not a syntax lesson.
142
And we're going to call this half second.
143
Okay.
144
Thank you.
145
I'm going to go ahead and make this
146
and now I have a new organization block that's only going to be evaluated every 500 milliseconds.
147
So now I can say, let's just simplify and say when the start button is pressed, turn my light on.
148
Alrighty.
149
And so what's pretty cool about this one we're going to see
150
when I download it is I can now click the start push button and the light won't turn on.
151
I'm able to click it fast enough that the light won't always turn on.
152
I let go of the button and there's a time delay before the light turns back off.
153
So I go ahead and click the button.
154
The light does not turn on because I'm clicking it in much less than 500 milliseconds.
155
And it's only evaluating this rung once every 500 milliseconds.
156
But if I hold it down for a half second and the light does turn on, and if I release it,
157
there's a little period of time where the light stays on because it only detects at its next 500 millisecond cliff
158
One important note about these is it doesn't mean
159
that there will always be a half second delay between me pressing the button
160
and the light turning on or always be a half second delay between me releasing the button and the light turning off.
161
Because I could be triggering that button anywhere in that 500 millisecond window.
162
Likewise, I could be releasing the button anywhere in the 500 millisecond window.
163
still look pretty much simultaneous when it turns on, but it could take up to a half a second.
164
Again, there are actual PLC programming tutorials on my channel.
165
You can check those out if you're interested in learning more.
166
The most important thing to retain from this video, so I'm repeating it at the end, is PLCs are deterministic.
167
They give you an exact way to know how your logic is going to behave and behave every time, repeatedly and reliably.
168
They're deterministic, they're They take a snapshot of the inputs, they move it into an image table,
169
they then compute all of their internal logic based on those inputs and variables,
170
and then they make decisions about what outputs to change accordingly based on those inputs in a scan.
171
Hopefully this didn't get too in the weeds and you found it useful
172
and you found it interesting and you want to go to LeMaster Tech, like the video, subscribe to the channel, and learn more about the world of controls and automation.
173
if you have any questions in the comments below, or what you want to see next on the channel.
174
Thanks for watching, and see you next time.
175
Bye.

왜 이 비디오로 말하기 연습을 해야 할까요?
이 비디오는 PLC(프로그래머블 로직 컨트롤러)의 작동 원리를 설명하면서, 기계가 어떻게 환경에 반응하는지를 보여줍니다. 이러한 주제는 기술적이고 전문적이지만, 여러분이 이 비디오를 통해 영어 쉐도잉을 연습하면 다양한 분야의 어휘와 표현을 자연스럽게 배울 수 있습니다. 기술 관련 내용에서는 실생활에서 사용되는 언어가 많이 포함되어 있어, 영어 스피킹 능력을 높이는 데 큰 도움이 됩니다. 또한, IELTS 스피킹과 같은 시험 준비에도 유용한 문맥과 상황이 제공됩니다. 따라서 이 비디오로 연습하면 영어 실력이 향상될 것입니다.
문법 및 표현 분석
- determinism: 이 용어는 산업 PLC의 주요 특성을 설명하는데 사용되며, 반복 가능성과 예측 가능성을 강조합니다. 이는 영어로 '결정론'이라고 번역할 수 있으며, 기술 대화에서 자주 사용되는 전문 용어입니다.
- make decisions: 이 구조는 어떤 정보를 바탕으로 결정을 내리는 과정을 설명할 때 사용됩니다. 이는 비즈니스와 기술 분야에서 매우 흔한 표현입니다.
- monitor inputs: 입력을 모니터링하고 제어하는 과정에 대한 설명은 자동화와 관련된 대화에서 자주 등장합니다.
- control outputs: 결과물을 제어한다는 의미로, تکنítés 및 기계 작동에 대해 이야기할 때 필수적인 표현입니다.
일반적인 발음 함정
비디오에서 언급된 몇 가지 단어 및 표현은 발음에 주의가 필요합니다. 예를 들어, determinism을 발음할 때, 강세와 음절을 정확하게 구분하는 것이 중요합니다. 또한 inputs와 outputs와 같은 기술적 용어는 영어로 말할 때 자주 틀리기 쉬운 단어들입니다. 이러한 단어들을 연습할 때 shadowspeaks 기법을 이용하여 발음을 교정하고 자연스럽게 말할 수 있도록 연습해야 합니다. shadow speak을 통해 비디오의 내용을 그대로 따라함으로써, 여러분의 발음과 유창성이 동시에 향상될 것입니다.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법
쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
