The document describes the operation of an escalator control system. It has light sensors to detect when someone steps on and emergency stop buttons. The escalator runs for 20 seconds after detecting someone before going to standby. If the emergency stop is pressed or a motor fault occurs, it must stop immediately. The task is to draw a wiring diagram, create a tag table with contact types, write a PLC program for this scenario and test it.

Scenario: Escalator

light emergency emergency


sensor stop stop

An escalator is put to standby state with the push button standby.

The escalator runs up, if the light barrier is interrupted by persons stepping onto the escalator
(interruption = 1-signal).

The drive system remains switched ON for 20 seconds at a time. The following must be observed:

if several persons use the escalator one after another, the last person must get the full 20 seconds run-
time.

If an OFF switch is actuated, the standby state is switched off; this may require stopping the current
operation.

If the Emergency OFF button is actuated or the motor protection of the drive motor trips, the system
must be stopped immediately.

Signals are: “Standby”, “OFF” and “Fault”

1. Draw PLC wiring diagram
2. Create a PLC tag table. Select the righ tcontact (NO/NC) for the tag.
3. Write PLC program for the given scenario
