Ladder Logic Example with Timers

Build the ladder logic example with Timers to turn ON/OFF the lamp using push buttons with respect to program logic conditions.

PLC Logic

1. Start PB and Stop PB are to turn ON and OFF the lamp.

2. After Start PB is pressed,

In the following sequence Outputs should turn ON/OFF
Q1 is turn ON for 5 sec
Q2 is turn ON for 5 sec
Q3 is turn ON for 5 sec
Q4 is turn ON for 5 sec

3. End of above sequence will trigger,

All four outputs (Q5, Q6, Q7, Q8) to turn ON.
In the following sequence, outputs should turn OFF after its turned ON,
After 5 sec, Q5 should go OFF
After 5 sec, Q6 should go OFF
After 5 sec, Q7 should go OFF
After 5 sec, Q8 should go OFF

Note: Process should continue until stop PB is pressed

List of Inputs and Outputs

Ladder Logic Example with Timers

Logic Description

RUNG 0000

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

RUNG 0001

Latched B3:0/0 is connected with T4:0 which starts running. Normally closed contact of T4:1 timer done bit is connected to make the process continue until stop PB is pressed.

RUNG 0002

Greater than or equal and Less than or equal block is connected in series with Q1 (O:0/0),When accumulator value between 0 to 5 triggers Q1 turns ON.

RUNG 0003

Greater than or equal and Less than or equal block is connected in series with Q2 (O:0/1),When accumulator value between 6 to 10 triggers Q2 turns ON.

Rung 0004

Greater than or equal and Less than or equal block is connected in series with Q3 (O:0/2),When accumulator value between 11 to 15 triggers Q3 turns ON.

Rung 0005

Greater than or equal and Less than or equal block is connected in series with Q4 (O:0/3),When accumulator value between 16 to 20 triggers Q4 turns ON.

Rung 0006

When T4:0 accumulator value reaches 20,outputs Q5.Q6,Q7 & Q8 turns ON along with timer T4:1 which presets for 20 second. Limit block is used turn OFF each output in respective sequence.

Each Limit block check with T4:1’s accumulator value, when it’s not in the limit its triggers the output to turn OFF.

Conclusion:

The above explained ladder logic for lamp turn ON/OFF is for example only. We can use this example program to understand the working of Push Buttons, Timers and Limit block in Allen Bradley PLC.

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.
