EXAMPLE
Process used to control the level of water in a storage tank.
CONTROL OF A HEATING OVEN. The system is started with a
Start button that seals in the Auto mode. This can be stopped if the Stop
button is pushed. When the Auto goes on initially the TON timer is used
to sound the horn for the first 10 seconds to warn that the oven will start,
and after that the horn stops and the heating coils start. When the oven is
turned off the fan continues to blow for 300s or 5 minutes after.
Figure shows the flash a light once every second. When the PLC
starts, the second timer will be off and the T4:1/DN bit will be off,
therefore the normally closed input to the first timer will be on.
The hardware timer TMR1 is used to latch the rung. This instantaneous
contact will be implemented by trapping the timer with an internal
output. Obtain the PLC program coding solution
Tables 8 and 9 show the I/O address and internal output assignments for the
electromechanical circuit’s real I/O. Table 10 presents the register assignment table. The
output addresses 030 and 031 corresponding to solenoids SOL1 and SOL2
A wrapping process is to be controlled with a PLC. The general
sequence of operations is described below. Develop the ladder logic
using process sequence bits.

1. The folder is idle until a part arrives.


2. When a part arrives it triggers the `part' sensor and the part is held
in place by actuating the `hold' actuator.
3. The first wrap is done by turning on output `paper' for 1 second.
4. The paper is then folded by turning on the `crease' output for 0.5
seconds.
5. An adhesive is applied by turning on output `tape' for 0.75
seconds.
6. The part is release by turning off output `hold'
7. The process pauses until the `part' sensors goes off, and then the
machine returns to idle.
