What is a PLC Cont.. Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), also

referred as programmable controllers, are in the computer family.

PLC is a digital electronic device, that uses programmable memory to store instructions.

Can be programmed to implement functions such as logic, sequencing, timing, counting and arithmetic.

HARDWARE CONFIGURATION OF PLC

Laboratory Training set

PLC Advantages PLCs are similar to computer but have

certain features which are specific to their use as controller. These are:

1. They are rugged and designed to withstand vibrations, temperature, humidity, and noise.

2. The interfacing for inputs and outputs is inside the controller.

3. Easily programmed and easily understood programming language.

PLC Operation1. A PLC monitors inputs, makes decisions based

on its program, and controls outputs to automate a process or machine.

2. The operation of the PLC system is simple and straightforward. The processor or CPU completes three processes:(1) scans, or reads, from the input devices (2) executes or "solves" the program logic, and (3) updates, or writes, to the output devices.

up count and down count can be down by the same counter

DIFU(13) – DIFFERENTIATION UP DIFU turns its output ON when it detects

an OFF to ON transition in its input signal

DIFD(14) – DIFFERENTIATION DOWN DIFD turns its output ON when it detects

an ON to OFF transition in its input signal or from HIGH to LOW signal

Car park systemA simple car park control system allows only a maximum of 30 cars parking spaces. Every time a car comes in, an incoming sensor will add 1 and any car that goes out an outgoing sensor will deduct 1. If the car park is occupied with 30 cars at one time, a full sign will be lighted up to inform there is no vacancy. Use instruction CNTR for counting and DIFU and DIFD for the sensor.

KEEP(11) – LATCHING RELAY

Example An incoming bar for a parking lot will raise up for 20 seconds when sensor 1

detects an incoming car. After passing the bar, sensor 2 will start count up the number of cars that parks in the parking lot. At the exit sensor 3 will deduct out going cars from the parking lots. If at one time the number of cars in the parking lot is 20 then the full sign light will be on.

Continue..A simple car park control system allows only a maximum of 30 cars parking spaces. Every time a car comes in, an incoming sensor will add 1 and any car that goes out an outgoing sensor will deduct 1. If the car park is occupied with 30 cars at one time, a full sign will be lighted up to inform there is no vacancy. Replace CNTR with ADD and SUB.

ExerciseUsing KEEP instruction to solve these problemsinstead of normal latching:A sensor is placed outside yellow line that enclosed the robot to provide safety cautions to the user. If the sensor detects someone crossing the yellow line the robot will automatically stop its operation and the siren will on until a reset button is pressed. Then the push button need to be pressed for robot to run again.

Solution

Exercise 3 A conveyor belt is used to transfer red and blue balls for

sorting by initially pressed the start button. A colour sorter system is designed to sort red balls and blue balls. If sensor 1 detects red ball, the ball will be pushed into bin 1 by cylinder 1 (CY1) for 2 seconds. If sensor 2 detects blue ball then the ball will be pushed into bin 2 by cylinder 2 (CY2) for another 2 seconds. If the counter has counted 10 red balls, then red light is on and when counter has counted 10 blue balls then green light is on. When either lights is on the conveyor stops the transferring of the balls. The conveyor will start again when reset button is pressed to empty the adder of full ball and the system restart. Use ADD, MOV, CMP instead of CNT.

Assignment A conveyor belt is used to transfer red and blue balls for sorting by

initially pressed the start button. A color sorter system is designed to sort red balls and blue balls. If sensor 1 detects red ball, the ball will be pushed into bin 1 by cylinder 1 (CY1).If sensor 2 detects blue ball then the ball will be pushed into bin 2 by cylinder 2 (CY2). If the counter has counted 10 red balls, then red light is on and when counter has counted 10 blue balls then green light is on. When either lights is on the conveyor stops the transferring of the balls. Use CNT instead of ADD and SUB.

Assume traveling time for cylinder from original position to full extension(vice versa is 0.2 sec) and all cylinder is single acting cylinder.

All cylinder will go back to its original position after transferring the ball.

AssignmentTwo different item need to be sort out. It is been placed along a conveyor belt. Conveyor belt will turn on when sensor 1 detect the first item present on that conveyor belt at its origin. When sensor 2 detect item A, it will be transferred by single acting cylinder, CY1 to first path. When LS1 detect the full extension of CY1,it will return to its initial position. When sensor 3 detect item B,it will be transferred by single acting cylinder,CY2 to second path.When LS2 detect full extension of CY2,it will return to its intial position.If the counter has counted 30 item A, green light will be on.If the counter counted 30 item B,blue light will be on.When one of the counter has count 30 item no matter item A or item B, the conveyor belt will be turn off. It will be turn on again when the adder of full ball is reset to zero then the system will restart again. Use DIFU, ADD, MOV, and CMP instead of CNT.
