Question - 3
The system is a PLC Program to control the level of parallel tanks.
The 2 tanks shown are connected in parallel connection. We must concurrently regulate the
level of the tanks while heating and cooling the incoming material into the tanks.

• The heating and cooling processes are employed to heat and cool the material in the
tank, respectively.

• In this case, both materials are the same, as designated in the diagram, and the input
valve pours material into both tanks.
• In this state, level switches can be used to monitor low and high levels in both tanks.
• To measure the temperature of both tanks, utilise two temperature sensors.
• The materials are emptied for further processing using outlet valves at the bottom of
the tanks.
• For this employment, we will design a PLC programme.

Inputs/outputs

Digital Inputs
• Cycle START :- I0.0
• Cycle STOP :- I0.1
• Low level tank 1(LL1) :- I0.3
• Low level tank 2(LL2) :- I0.4
• High level tank 1(LH1) :- I0.5
• High level tank 2(LH2) :- I0.6
Digital Outputs
• Inlet valve V2 for heating tank :- Q0.0
• Inlet valve V3 for cooling tank :- Q0.1
• Outlet valve V4 for heating tank :- Q0.2
• Outlet valve V5 for cooling tank :- Q0.3
M memory
• Cycle ON bit :- M0.0
• Register for the temperature of heating tank :- MD10
• Register for the temperature of cooling tank :- MD14
• Outlet valve V5 for cooling tank :- Q0.3

1st Network:
This Network is used to implement a latching circuit. When the START button (I0.0) is
pushed, the Cycle ON (M0.0) bit is set to ON. STOP the cycle by hitting STOP PB (I0.1).
2nd Network:
When the low level of the heating tank (I0.3) is recognised, the inflow valve V2 (Q0.0) is
turned on. Inlet valve V2 (Q0.0) will be ON if the tank 1(I0.5) level is not detected and
START (I0.0) button is hit.
3rd Network:
If tank 2 (I0.4) level falls below a certain threshold, the inflow valve V3 (Q0.1) will open.
Inlet valve V3 (Q0.1) will be ON if the START button is pressed and a high level of tank 2
(I0.6) is not detected.
4th Network:
If the cycle is turned on and the actual temperature of the heating tank (MD10) is more or
equal to the predetermined temperature (70°C), the outflow valve V4 (Q0.2) will be turned
on.
5th Network:
If the cycle is turned on and the actual temperature of the cooling tank (MD14) is less or
equal to the predetermined temperature (20°C), the outflow valve V5 (Q0.3) will be turned
on.

Question – 5
• Time constant is how fast the system responds. It describe the speed with which
measured process variable responds to change in the controller output.
• It represents the time needed for the PV to reach 63.2% of its total and final change.
• To calculate the process time constant, determine the time at which PV completes
63.2% of the total change and subtract the time at which PV clearly responds to the
step test.
