INTERLOCKING AND HOLDING

# develop ladder logics for the following situations:

1) Switch ON and OFF a lamp with a single momentary push button (MPB).
2) Switch ON a motor with a Start MPB and switch OFF the same motor with a Stop MPB.
3) Switch ON all three motors with a single Start MPB, switch OFF all with single Stop MPB.
4) ON/OFF of a lamp
INPUTS: Start MPB and Stop MPB
OUTPUTS: a Lamp.
When start MPB is pressed, Lamp should ON and then when stop MPB is pressed, Lamp should
go off. (Make logic using Binary Bit as holding).
5) ON/OFF of lamps using three MPBs. (No holding to be used).
INPUTS: I/P-1, I/P-2, I/P-3.
OUTPUTS: a lamp.
If any two input MPBs are pressed simultaneously than only the lamp should glow otherwise
not.
6) Combinations of switches to ON/OFF a lamp. (No holding is required)
INPUTS: PB1, PB2.
OUTPUTS: O/P-1 Green Lamp, O/P-2 Blue Lamp, O/P-3 Red Lamp.
a) If PB1 is pressed O/P-1 and O/P-2 glows.
b) If PB1 and PB2 are pressed simultaneously only O/P-3 glows.
c) If PB2 is pressed only O/P2 should glows.
7) ON/OFF of lamps.
INPUTS: I/P1, I/P2, I/P3, I/P4.
OUTPUTS: O/P1- Green lamp, O/P2- Red lamp, O/P3-Pump1, O/P4- Pump2.
a) When I/P1 is pressed: pump1 starts and Red lamp glows. Then
b) When I/P3 is pressed: pump2 starts, Green lamp is ON and Red lamp gets OFF. Then
c) When I/P2 is pressed: pump1 switches OFF, Red lamp glows with Green lamp OFF. Then
d) When I/P4 is pressed: pump2 switches OFF and Red lamp also goes off. (as green lamp was
previously OFF in step (c)).

8) When Start MPB is pressed momentarily, a motor gets switched ON; when SP2 MPB is pressed
momentarily first motor goes OFF and second motor switched ON. When PRESET MPB is
pressed momentarily, second motor goes OFF and first motor gets ON again. System process
can be stopped by STOP MPB at any time.
 TIMERS

1) Make ladder logic to glow the LED’s in the following pattern. When input (a MPB) is ON, the
following LEDs glow in the following pattern.

Time (up to) LED1 LED2 LED3 LED4

5 seconds. 1 0 0 0
10 seconds. 1 1 0 0
15 seconds. 1 1 1 0
20 seconds. 1 1 1 1

2) An oil pump should start up after pressing Start MPB and main motor will start
automatically after 15 seconds. After pressing Stop MPB main motor will stop immediately
and oil pump will stop automatically after 15 seconds.
3)
4) A lamp goes ON after 20 seconds of pressing the Start MPB and goes OFF by pressing the
Stop MPB.
5) There are two lamps. When Start MPB is pressed, first lamp goes ON for 10 seconds, then it
goes OFF and second lamp goes ON. Pressing of Stop MPB makes second lamp goes OFF.
6) When a Start MPB is pressed, lamp ‘A’ goes ON and 5 seconds later lamp ‘B’ goes ON. When
Stop MPB is pressed, both lamps namely ‘A’ and ‘B’ goes OFF. After 8 seconds of going OFF
of lamps: ‘A’ & ‘B’, a fan goes ON automatically. This fan remains ON for 5 seconds only.
7) A wooden saw, a fan and a lubricating pump, all goes ON immediately when a Start MPB is
pressed. The pressing of Stop MPB stops the saw but the fan and pump stays running for
additional 5 seconds to blow the chips away.
8) When input MPB is pressed a lamp should glow for 5 seconds and then should remains OFF
for another 5 seconds and then process should repeat until stopped(this is called as flashing
of a lamp).
9) If Start MPB is pressed, an o/p1 should glow for 5 seconds and then for next 5 seconds o/p2
should glow and then this process should repeat until stopped by Stop MPB.
10) When Start MPB is pressed, pump1 should ON, then after 5 seconds another pump2 should
get ON. Now, when Stop MPB is pressed pump1 should get OFF immediately and after 5
seconds of that pump2 should now be got OFF.
