DESIGN PROBLEMS
nd Sc
1.1 START & STOP CONTROL - A START (NO, momentary switch) button will activate
a cylinder. Upon activation, the cylinder will fully extend and retract
-I -

continuously even START is released. STOP button (NC, momentary switch) will
ry ity

halt the cycle. Sensors B1 and B2 will detect the retracted and extended
position of the cylinder. Make the ladder diagram.

1.2 USING TIMER FUNCTION - In a bonding process, components are pressed
together using cylinders. When START (momentary switch, NO) is pressed the
cylinder extends and once the cylinder reaches its extended position the
timer starts while the cylinder remains extended. After the 5 seconds has
expired, the cylinder returns to its initial position.

1.3 USING COUNTER FUNCTION - When START (momentary switch, NO) is pressed,
the cylinder extends and retracts for five cycles. And after the counter
ra ive

reached the set count the sequence stops. Pressing START again will repeat
the cycle. Sensors B1 (PNP type, NO) and B2 (PNP type, NO) check the
retracted and extended positions of the cylinder, respectively.
