Automatic Car Washing using PLC

Make a PLC Ladder diagram for Automatic car washing process using PLC program in RSLOGIX 500 software.

Automatic Car Washing

Problem Solution

Car entry sensor triggers the process and turns conveyor belt ON to move the car.
Soapy water sprinkler turns ON when stage 1 sensor detects the car and do the process for certain time.
Brusher turns ON when stage 2 sensors detects the car and do the process for certain time.
Clean water sprinkler turns ON when stage 3 sensors detects the car and do the process for certain time.
Dryer turns ON when stage 4 sensors detects the car and do the process for certain time.
Car exit sensor triggers conveyor motor to turn off.
Program done in Allen Bradley RSLogix 500 PLC Software.

List of Inputs and Outputs

Car Washing PLC Ladder Logic

Program Description

The ladder logic of Automatic Car Washing Process using PLC Ladder Diagram explanation as follows :

RUNG 0000

Latching rung to operate the system through Master Start and Stop PB.

RUNG 0001

Car entry sensor triggers the memory bit which will turn on conveyor motor

RUNG 0002

ON/OFF operation of conveyor motor is happening in this rung using various conditions like Sensor input and timer done output.

Rung 0003 & 0004

When car reached stage 1 sensor conveyor motor should stop and water sprinkler should ON for 10 sec.

At the end of water sprinkler timer, Conveyor will again ON because of the parallel contact in rung 0002.

Rung 0004 & 0005

When car reached stage 2 sensor conveyor motor should stop and brusher should ON for 10 sec.

At the end of brushing process, Conveyor will again ON because of the parallel contact in rung 0002.

Rung 0007 & 0008

When car reached stage 3 sensor conveyor motor should stop and water sprinkler should ON for 10 sec.

At the end of water sprinkler timer, Conveyor will again ON because of the parallel contact in rung 0002.

Rung 0009 & 0010

When car reached stage 4 sensor conveyor motor should stop and water sprinkler should ON for 10 sec.

At the end of water sprinkler timer, Conveyor will again ON because of the parallel contact in rung 0002.

Rung 0011

When car reached exit ,car exit sensor will trigger the car wash done indication lamp(O:0/7)

Conclusion :

The above explained automatic car wash using PLC is for example only. It may vary from real time.

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 : A

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 Electroma

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.
