Identify the gates then make the ladder logic diagram along with truth table.

1: Let X1 = whether the raw work part is present at the conveyor stopping point (X1 = 1 for part present,
X1 = 0 for part not present). Let X2 = whether the press cycle for the previous part has completed (X2 = 1
for completed, X2 = 0 for not completed). Let X3 = whether the previous part has been removed from the
die (X3 = 1 for removed, X3 = 0 for not removed). Finally, let Y = whether the loading sequence can be
started (Y = 1 for begin, Y = 0 for wait). All three conditions must be satisfied, so turn the Y ON.
Identify the logic, make a truth table and develop ladder logic.

Logic:

As all three conditions must be satisfied, the logical AND function will be used. All the inputs X1, X2,
and X3 must have values of 1 before Y = 1, initiating the start of the loading sequence.

2: A locker has been rented in the bank. Express the process of opening the locker in terms of digital
operation. The locker gate (F) can be opened by using one key (A) which is with the client and the other
key which is with the bank (B). When both the keys are used the locker, door opens. Locker door is
opened i.e. F=1 when both keys are applied A=B=1.
Identify the logic, make a truth table and develop ladder logic.

Logic:

As the locker F will be opened when both keys are applied, the logical function AND will be used. The
inputs A and B must have values of 1 to open the locker gate F.

Ladder Logic:

3: On a hydraulic pump assembly line a test rig is installed to avoid manual inspection. Test rig is used to
perform three tests on the pump 1: leakage test 2: vibration test 3: crack analysis. Only that pump will be
accepted which will clear all three tests. On clearing the test, buzzer will be ON, which will indicate the
packing station that hydraulic pump is ready for packing.
Identify the logic, make a truth table and develop ladder logic.

Logic:

As all three tests must be cleared, the logical function AND will be used. All the tests 1, 2, and 3 must
have values of 1 in order to turn the buzzer ON, initiating the start of the loading sequence.

4: A furnace is used for heating the casted parts to remove the porosity problem. The part is placed in the
furnace and is heated at high temperature. The furnace has multi layered safety monitoring system. one is
used for monitoring the pressure, other for temperature and third for the sensor's performance. If any one
of the layer failed alarm will beep continuously till rectified manually.
Identify the logic, make a truth table and develop ladder logic.

Logic:

As any of the safety monitoring system is turned ON, the alarm will beep, logical function OR will be
used. Any safety system with the value of 1 will make the alarm beep.

5: In a flexible manufacturing system, a robotic arm is used to weld two door and four door car bodies.
The robotic arm will start welding cycle only when it will identify the body style, then it will download
the required program and change the setup. After this welding cycle will start.
Identify the logic, make a truth table and develop ladder logic.

Logic:

As the robotic arm will not start welding until it has identified the body style, downloaded the program
and changed the setup, the logical function AND will be used. If any of the steps are missing the robotic
arm will not start welding.

6: A CNC vertical grinder is used for grinding a machined part. If the bed of the machine is empty red
light on the operator panel will be on. Light will be off when part is loaded.
Identify the logic, make a truth table and develop ladder logic.
Logic:

As the light will be ON when the part is loaded and OFF when it is not loaded, the logical function NOT
will be used.
