Types of Interrupt OB in Siemens Tia Portal

 In siemens PLC, to execute the PLC programs the Organisational Block is used.

In OB1 which is used to execute logic and we call other programming blocks from this OB1.

In many small applications only requires OB1 block. But In the large application, you require to use other organization blocks too which siemens offer within the programming software.

Types of Interrupt OB
There are four types of interrupt OB is used which are listed below.
  1. Cyclic Interrupt
  2. Hardware Error Interrupt
  3. Time of day Interrupt
  4. Start-up Interrupt
All the above-listed OBs don’t need to call from the main OB. They are used to execute based on events occur.
There are many other types of interrupt OB that exists like diagnostic error interrupt, io access error, and many more. But the above listed four are very useful in some events.

Let understand the above four listed interrupts OBs and when to use them in programming.

1) Cyclic interrupt (OB 30, OB 35)
Cyclic interrupt OB is used when there is a requirement of cyclic execution.

For example, we have our main program written in OB1, we have used cyclic interrupt block in between the ladder when execution occurs block turns to Interrupt OB for define time interval and return to main OB where it left off.

Cyclic OB is mainly used with PID controller and when there is a calculation is required.

Default Interrupt time in s7 PLC is of 100 milliseconds. But you can change it from Hardware view.

To add cyclic interrupt the OB open TIA portal and follow the below steps.

Step 1:
create a new project and select CPU type. Click on “project view”.
Step 2:
In the following window expand “program block” and double click on “Add new block”.

Step 3:
A new window will popup. Select “organisational block” and you can find all type of hardware interrupt which are available. Double click on any one take you to the programming environment.
2) Hardware Interrupt (OB 40)
This type of interrupt OB executes when CPU detect any error in the signal module.

A hardware interrupt is only generated by circuitry resides in the signal module.

In the above window, you can find Hardware interrupts. To add in the programming environment do follow the same step as above.

To avail this facility, you must have to select the signal module which contains hardware interrupt facility.

3) Time delay Interrupt (OB 20)
This type of interrupt will execute based on a certain time of day to perform a task.

This type of interrupt must require a block start time delay interrupt. You have to add this block to OB1.

In this block, you can specify a time and write the logic of execution of time-delay interrupt.

To add this block, click on Time interrupt delay to add Organisation block.

4) Start-up interrupt (OB 100)
Due to power failure if your PLC goes to stop mode when power is available from CPU’s transition from stop to run Start-up OB will execute, which will reset input to not start equipment automatically.

This type of interrupt is used to perform a start-up of the CPU more smoothly.

You can add this block as shown above the window in your programming block section.

PLC Program for Mixing Tank

 Create a ladder diagram for controlling a batch mixing process. Implement a PLC program for mixing tank or Mixing Process using PLC Ladder Logic. PLC Program for Mixing Tank Fig : Mixing tank A tank is used to mix two liquids. The required control circuit operates as follows: A. When the START button is pressed, solenoids A and B energize. This permits the two liquids to begin filling the tank. B. When the tank is filled, the float switch trips. This de-energizes solenoids A and B and starts the motor used to mix the liquids together. C. The motor is permitted to run for 1 minute. After 1 minute has elapsed, the motor turns off and solenoid C energizes to drain the tank. D. When the tank is empty, the float switch de- energizes solenoid C. E. A STOP button can be used to stop the process at any point. F. If the motor becomes overloaded, the action of the entire circuit will stop. G. Once the circuit has been energized, it will continue to operate until it is manually stopped. Solution...

What is Relay? How it Works? Types, Applications, Testing

 We use relays for a wide range of applications such as home automation, cars and bikes (automobiles), industrial applications, DIY Projects, test and measurement equipment, and many more. But what is Relay? How a Relay Works? What are the Applications of Relays? Let us explore more about relays in this guide. What is a Relay? A Relay is a simple electromechanical switch. While we use normal switches to close or open a circuit manually, a Relay is also a switch that connects or disconnects two circuits. But instead of a manual operation, a relay uses an electrical signal to control an electromagnet, which in turn connects or disconnects another circuit. Relays can be of different types like electromechanical, solid state. Electromechanical relays are frequently used. Let us see the internal parts of this relay before knowing about it working. Although many different types of relay were present, their working is same. Every electromechanical relay consists of an consists of an Elect...

Ferrules and Cross Ferruling

 Ferrules are identification labels provided for every wire terminations in an instrument, equipment, or electrical/instrumentation control panels. These tube-shaped sleeves can be inserted easily on each individual wire in a multi-core cable. In earlier days fixed digits/letters are used as ferrules, but now Instrumentation engineers/technicians prints out desired ferrules by using a ferrule printing machine. Typical Ferrule The numbers/ letters on the ferrules will be given as per the approved electrical hook up or loop diagrams. This helps technicians to easily identify a particular loop/wiring from a series of terminal blocks and to troubleshoot the desired terminal connection. Separate numbers on the ferrules distinguish the positive and negative polarities of wires, thus ensure the polarity protection of the instrument. Cross Ferruling  As a wire is connected on its both ends, it is quite useful to use a cross reference method for wire identification. Unlike normal ferru...
