PROCESSOR INFORMATION:

Programmable Logic Controller
PLCs were first introduced in the 1960’s. The primary reason for
designing such a device was eliminating the large cost involved in
replacing the complicated relay based machine control systems.
Bedford Associates (Bedford, MA) proposed something called a
Modular Digital Controller (MODICON) to a major US car
manufacturer. The MODICON 084 brought the world's first PLC into
commercial production.
A Programmable controller is a solid state user programmable
control system with functions to control logic, sequencing, timing,
arithmetic data manipulation and counting capabilities. It can be
viewed as an industrial computer that has a central processor unit,
memory, input output interface and a programming device. The
central processing unit provides the intelligence of the controller. It
accepts data, status information from various sensing devices like
limit switches, proximity switches, executes the user control
program stored in the memory and gives appropriate output
commands to devices such as solenoid valves, switches etc.

Advantages PLC controller can be presented in few basic
points:
1. Compared to a conventional process control system, number of
wires needed for connections is reduced by approximately 80%
2. Diagnostic functions of a PLC controller allow for fast and easy
error detection.
3. Change in operating sequence or application of a PLC
controller to a different operating process can easily be
accomplished by replacing a program through a console or using
PC software (not requiring changes in wiring, unless addition of
some input or output device is required).
4. Needs fewer spare parts
5. It is much cheaper compared to a conventional system,
especially in cases where a large number of Input/Output
instruments are needed and when operational functions are
complex.
6. Reliability of a PLC is greater than that of an electro-mechanical
relay or a timer, because of less moving parts.
7. They are compact and occupy less space
8. Use of PLC results in appreciable savings in Hardware and wiring
cost.

PLC Operation
A PLC works by continually scanning a program. We can think of
this scan cycle as consisting of 3 important steps. There are
typically more than 3 but we can focus on the important parts
and not worry about the others. Typically the others are checking
the system and updating the current internal counter and timer
values. The first type of scanning, as shown in the diagram below,
is not as common as the type that will be discussed second.

PLC Scan Diagram

The first step is to check the input status. This step is therefore
generally referred to as the “Check Input Status” stage. First the
PLC takes a look at each input to determine if it is on or off. In
other words, is the sensor connected to the first input on? How
about the second input? How about the third? This goes on and
on through the entire program.
It records this data into its memory to be used during the next step.
Next the PLC executes your program one instruction at a time,
called the “Execute Program” stage. For example, if your program
said that if the first input was on then it should turn on the first
output. Since it already knows which inputs are on/off from the
previous step it will be able to decide whether the first output
should be turned on based on the state of the first input. It will
store the execution results for use later during the next step.
Finally the PLC updates the status of the outputs. It updates the
outputs based on which inputs were on during the first step and
the results of executing your program during the second step.


Page 5


Based on the example in step 2 it would now turn on the first
output because the first input was on and your program said to
turn on the first output when this condition is true.
A new style of scanning has been implemented in the more
recent years, called “rung scanning”. This type basically scans
each ladder rung individually in the entire ladder logic program,
updating the outputs on that rung after scanning through the
inputs. This changes the type of programming that will be used as
well. If an output is in a rung above the inputs it depends on, you
will not get the output updated until the next scan, as the
program will keep scanning down until the last rung, then start
over. This style is very advantageous in certain situations. If you
want your outputs updated at the soonest possible moment, this is
the style of scanning that you want to use.

ACTUATORS
Actuators convert electrical signal from PLC into a physical
condition. Actuators are connected to the PLC output. A moter
starter is one example of an actuator that is connected to the PLC
output. Depending on the output PLC signal the motor starter will
either start or stop the motor.

Ladder Logic
Ladder logic is one form of drawing electrical logic schematics,
and is a graphical language very popular for programming
Programmable Logic Controllers. Ladder logic was originally
invented to describe logic made from relays. The name is based
on the observation that programs in this language resemble
ladders, with two vertical "rails" and a series of horizontal "rungs"
between them. Figure 5 below is a very basic example of ladder
logic used in a programmable logic controls program.

Basic Ladder Logic Program

Ladder Logic Programming
Ladder logic or ladder diagrams are the most common
programming language used to program a PLC. Ladder logic was
one of the first programming approaches used in PLCs because it
borrowed heavily from the relay diagrams that plant electricians
already knew. The symbols used in relay ladder logic consist of a
power rail to the left, a second power rail to the right, and
individual circuits that connect the left power rail to the right. The

Page 8


logic of each circuit (or rung) is solved from left to right. A
common mistake made by most people is trying to think of the
diagram as having to have current across the rung for the output
to function. This has given many people trouble because of the
fact that some inputs are “not” inputs, which will be true when
there isn’t current through this sensor. These concepts will be
discussed more latter. The symbols of these diagrams look like a
ladder - with two side rails and circuits that resemble rungs on a
ladder.

Simplified Logic Circuit
The logic of the rung above is such:
 If Input1 is ON (or true) - power (logic) completes the circuit
from the left rail to the right rail - and Output1 turns ON (or
true).
 If Input1 is OFF (or false) - then the circuit is not completed
and logic does not flow to the right - and Output 1 is OFF (or
false).
There are many logic symbols available in Ladder Logic - including
timers, counters, math, and data moves such that any logical
condition or control loop can be represented in ladder logic. With
just a handful of basic symbols such as a normally open contact,
normally closed contact, normally open coil, normally closed coil,
timer and counter most logical conditions can be represented.

timer 1 is in NO fashion and timer 2, timer 3 is in NC fashion. Initially when timer 1 is
starts after 2 second LED at port 6 glow keeping LED at output port 7 and 8 off. In
rung 5 DN of timer 2 is in NO fashion and timer 1, timer 3 is in NC fashion which will
glow LED 7 keeping LED 6 and 8 off again in rung 6 DN of timer 3 is in NO which will
glow LED 8 keeping LED 6 and 7 closed. Finally for continuously toggling all the timer
has to be reset thus taking the enable bit of all the timers in the form of NO switch we
will reset all the three timers connecting all the three in parallel.

RESULT:
The toggling of three LED’s has been performed successfully.

CONCUSION:
In toggling the three timers must be reset continuously and when one LED is glowing
the other two must be close.

the sensor sense metal pieces more than 10 times.

Components Used:
1. Examine if Open
2. Examine if Close
3. Output Energize
4. Counter

For this program statement we have to use the up counter, the counter starts
counting when the metal is detected. When the counting reaches 10 the DN bit of
the counter enable an internal bit B3:0/1 this bit stops the motor at the output 4 by
the use of NC switch which gets open when the internal bit B3:0/1 is active. To stop
the counter i.e to turn off the operation the NC i.e I:0/0 which acts a Switch Off
switch as placed in the rung 0.

RESULT:
By the use of proximity sensor and the counter we stop the motor of conveyer belt
when the sensor sense metal pieces more than 10 times.

CONCLUSION:
The sensor starts detecting the metal after counter counts till 10 the motor stops. The
input switch which is at port 0 will stop the operation when counts reach the set
value.
