One Shot Rising and One Shot Falling Instructions in PLC

To study the working of One Shot Rising (OSR) and One Shot Falling (OSF) functions in Allen Bradley programmable logic controllers (PLC).

One Shot Rising and One Shot Falling Instructions

In the above instruction block of One shot Rising (OSR) or One shot falling (OSF),

There are two Variables,

Storage Bit: This bit is to store the status of input.

Output Bit: This bit store the value when it executes the function of Block

One Shot Rising (OSR)

One shot rising is similar to ONS except the storage and output bits. It gives single pulse at the time of going ON condition. Storage bit stores the status of input.

Output bit stores the status of function performed by the block.

One Shot Falling (OSF)

One shot falling gives single pulse at the time of going input’s OFF condition which is connected to it. Storage bit stores the status of input. Output bit stores the status of function performed by the block.

PLC Program using OSR and OSF

Ladder Logic Explanation

RUNG 0000

Input 1 (I:0/0) is connected to OSR block. When input is turned ON, Storage bit (B3:0/0) turns 1 and output bit (B3:0/1) turns “1” for a second and goes to “0” again.

RUNG 0001

Input 2 (I:0/1) is connected to OSF block. When input is turned ON, Storage bit (B3:0/2) turns 1 and output bit (B3:0/3) remains “0”.When Input turns OFF, Output bit turns “1” for a second and goes to “0” along with storage bit.

Conclusion

We can use this example program to understand the working of one shot rising (OSR) and one shot falling (OSF) function in Allen Bradley programmable logic controllers (PLC).

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...

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 a Torbar? – Averaging Pitot Tubes

The Torbar is employed for flow measurement of liquids, gases, or steam in circular, square, or rectangular section ducts for large flow rates. The Torbar is an insertion type multi-port self-averaging primary sensor for flow measurement. Torbar TORBAR is a set of Pitot tubes mounted on a bar across the pipeline with no moving parts. An averaging Pitot tube is a technology, while TORBAR is a manufacturing brand name. There are several brands available in the market with VERABAR, ANNUBAR, etc. Averaging Pitot Tube Principle Purpose Averaging Pitot tube can be employed when the average velocity of the flow profile, rather than the velocity in a specific point in the cross-section is desired. Averaging Pitot Tubes Principle It measures the differential pressure between the static pressure tap and the tap of full pressure of a stream. Thus such magnitude of differential pressure is directly proportional to the square of the flow rate. Working The TORBAR is designed in such a way that ...
