PLC Program to Implement a Combinational Logic

Circuit (1)
This is a PLC Program to Implement a Combinational Logic Circuit (1).

Problem Description
The input to combinations logic circuit is a 4-bit binary number. Design the logic
circuit with two outputs (Y1, Y2) for the following conditions. Also develop PLC
program in Ladder Logic for the same.
Y1=1 if the input binary number is 5 or less than 5.
Y2=1 if the input binary number is 9 or more than 9.

Problem Solution
 To solve this problem, first the table showing ON state of Y1 and Y2 is created.
(When Y1 or Y2 is 1).
 According to the table designed, Y1 and Y2 both will have different equations, Y1
when input binary number is 5 or less than 5 and Y2 when input is 9 or more than
9.
 To obtain these equations, Karnaugh-Map method is again used.
 By solving output expressions, we obtained minimized form of equation which is
then applied into Ladder Diagram.

Program Description
 Rung000 is to generate output Y1 which is 1 goes high or is set to 1 when Input
Binary Number is 5 or less than 5.
 Rung001 is to generate output Y2 which goes high or is set to 1 when Input Binary
Number is 9 or more than 9.
 In the given program, parallel connection shows ORing of inputs and series
connection shows ANDing of inputs.
 Hence, output Y1 goes High/1 if any of the two conditions is fulfilled, whenever A
(I:1/0) and B (I:1/1) both are Low/0 or whenever A (I:1/0) and C (I:1/2) both are
Low/0.
 And accordingly, output Y2 goes high if any of the following conditions is fulfilled,
A (I:1/0) and B (I:1/1) both are High/1.
A (I:1/0) and C (I:1/2) both are High/1.
A (I:1/0) and D (I:1/3) both are High/1.
