LATCHING

Latching, or Seal-in, or Hold-in circuit is a method

of maintaining current flow after a momentary switch
has been pressed and released. Or in the other word,
to remain the output ON until a disable action is
taken.

There are two ways of latching:

1. Based on Internal Relay (IR)

IR is a relay inside PLC which can be freely used

within the program. The work bits for OMRON:

- CPM2A is between 02000 - 04915, and 20000 –

22715.

- CJ1M: 200.00 - ….
Example:

The Mnemonic Codes??

2. Based on Output

The Output information can also used to replace the

function of IR above.

Problem Example

Design a controller using an equation that will turn

ON an output to a cylinder C when only one of two
optical sensors A or B is ON. The system will be
disabled if an input switch D is ON.

Instructions:
1. Design and simulate the Ladder Diagram.
2. Convert the Ladder to Mnemonic Code.
3. Design I/O Wiring into PLC OMRON CJ1M.
