Pulse Timer Instruction in PLC Programming

Let’s study the working of pulse timer instruction in Siemens PLC programming.

Pulse Timer in PLC

Block Description

Pulse Timer:

When Timer receives positive pulse at the set input (S), it enables the Q output as long as the preset value set for the timer. The signal change is necessary in order to enable the timer.

Timer will run as long as the input sign (S) at “1” or accumulator value reaches preset value. The signal state at the output (Q) is at “1” as long as the timer is running. If input (S) changed from “1 to 0” before the time interval has elapsed, timer stopped along with disabling output (Q).

The timer reset input enables to reset the timer while it’s running. Accumulator value backs to zero. Accumulator value can be read at the BI and BCD output of the timer.

Pulse Extended Timer:

When Timer receives positive pulse at the set input (S), it enables the Q output as long as the preset value set for the timer. The signal change is necessary in order to enable the timer.

The signal state at the output (Q) is at “1” as long as the timer is running. If input (S) changed from “1 to 0” before the time interval has elapsed, timer continue to run and enables output (Q) till accumulator value reach preset value.

The timer reset input enables to reset the timer while it’s running. Accumulator value backs to zero. Accumulator value can be read at the BI and BCD output of the timer.

Ladder Logic

Case 1: When Input set (S) goes ON for the first time

Network 1:

Input I0.0 is pressed, it gives positive pulse to S input of timer (T0) which makes timer to start running upto 20s ,the time mentioned in the preset value(TV=ST#20s).Output (Q0.0) of timer (T0) enable for 20 s.

Network 2:

Input I0.2 is pressed, it gives positive pulse to S input of timer (T1) which makes timer to start running upto 20s,the time mentioned in the preset value (TV=ST#20s).Output (Q0.1 )of timer (T1) enable for 20 s.

Case 2: When Input set (S) goes OFF before time interval (20s) get elapsed

Network 1:

Input (I0.0) to the timer (T0) is turned off before the time interval elapsed will make the timer to stop running and output (Q0.0) to go off.

Network 2:

Input (I0.2) to the timer (T1) is turned off before the time interval elapsed will make the timer to continue running and output (Q0.1) to remain ON till the time interval has elapsed.

Case 3: When Reset input (R) goes ON before time interval (20s) get elapsed

Network 1:

Reset Input (I0.1) to the timer (T0) is pressed; timer stopped running and disables the output (Q0.0).

Network 2:

Reset Input (I0.3) to the timer (T1) is pressed; timer stopped running and disables the output (Q0.1).

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...

Chlorine dioxide Analyzer Principle

Chlorine dioxide measurement Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) is an instable, non-storable, toxic gas with a characteristic scent. The molecule consists of one chlorine atom and two oxygen atoms – represented in the chemical formula ClO2. It is very reactive. To avoid the risk of spontaneous explosions of gaseous chlorine dioxide or concentrated solutions, it is generally handled in dilution with low concentrations. ClO2 is soluble in water, but tends to evaporate quickly. Typically it is prepared on site, for example from hydrochloric acid and sodium chlorite. The procedure provides solutions with approx. 2 g/l ClO2 that can be safely handled and stored for several days. Image Credits : krohne Sensor Parts : Reference electrode Applied chlorine dioxide specific potential Current needed to maintain the constant potential Counter electrode Measuring electrode The disinfection effect of ClO2 is due to the transfer of oxygen instead of chlorine, so that no chlorinated byproducts are formed.
