1.Answer
Problem Description
When a Car enters the hall, a certain sequence is to be followed automatically. Steps are,

1. Washing,
2. Soaping,
3. waxing and
4. Drying.

Solution

➢ The vehicle is connected to the conveyor chain and pulled inside the car-wash bay.
➢ LS1 turns on the water input valve.
➢ LS2 turns on the soap release valve, which mixes with the water input valve to provide a wash
spray.
➢ LS3 shuts off the soap valve, and the water input valve remains on to rinse the vehicle.
➢ LS4 shuts off the water input valve and activates the hot wax valve, if selected.
➢ LS5 shuts off the hot wax valve and starts the air blower motor.
➢ LS6 shuts off the air blower. The vehicle exits the car wash.

2. Answer

Problem Solution
➢ Use limit switches, control valves and motor agitators separately for all three mixing
tanks.
➢ The only common input to all these tanks is Material feeding by two valves.
➢ Use separate timers for each tank for mixing.
➢ First two tanks are tagged as primary mixing tanks and the third one is said to be
secondary mixing tank.
➢ Use switches of stop buttons of both Primary mixing processes as an input to start the
tank third to enter into the process sequence.

3 .ANSWER

It is given that the timer should count for every 60s and then after 60s the accumulated vale of
counter should be incremented by 1. For this process to be happened, One TON (time on delay)
timer and one CTU (count up counter) counter should be used. When the first counter accumulated
value reaches a count of 60.A second counter should start incrementing its accumulated value and
reach up to 12.Also given that when the accumulated value of first counter reaches 60 and second
counter reaches 12 they must be reset.

4 .ANSWER

➢ To turn ON and turn OFF the conveyor motor, the start and stop push button is used.
➢ Number of parts pass on the conveyor is counted by using proximity sensor.
➢ Gate solenoid will divert the part to inspection line after reached the total count 10.
➢ The energization time of gate solenoid is 2s.
➢ Counter will reset to zero and accumulate the counts continuously.
➢ Manual push button is used to reset the counter.
PLC PROGRAM
5.ANSWER

The sequence of operation should be as follows:

➢ ❖ the switch is operated.
➢ ❖ Light 1 is illuminated.
➢ ❖ Light 2 is illuminated 1 s later.
➢ ❖ Light 3 is illuminated 1 s later.
➢ ❖ Light 3 is illuminated for 1 s.
➢ ❖ all lights are off for 1 s.
➢ ❖ the system repeats while the switch is on.
