Introduction:
A programmable logic controller (PLC) is a specialized computer used to control machines and processes. It uses a programmable memory to store instructions and execute specific functions that include on/off control, timing, counting, sequencing, Arithmetic and data handling. The design of most PLCs is similar to that of other computers. Basically, the PLC is an assembly of solid-state digital logic elements designed to make logical decisions and provide outputs. Programmable logic controllers are used for the control and operation of manufacturing process equipment and machinery. The programmable logic controller is basically a computer designed for use in machine control. It has been designed to operate in the industrial environment and is equipped with special input/output interfaces and a control programming language. Initially the PLC was used to replace relay logic, but its ever-increasing range of functions means that it is found in many and more complex applications. Because the structure of a PLC is based on the same principles as those employed in computer architecture. It is capable not only of performing relay switching tasks but also of performing other applications such as counting, calculating, comparing and the processing of analog signals.
Parts of PLC:
A typical PLC can be divided into following parts: (Figure 1.1) Central processing unit (CPU). Input/Output (l/O) section. Power supply. Programming device.
Ladder Diagrams:
Ladder Diagram is graphical depiction of a process with rungs of logic, similar to the relay ladder logic schemes that were replaced by PLCs. The main function of the ladder logic diagram program is to control outputs based on input conditions. This control is accomplished through the use of what is referred to as a ladder rung. In general, a rung consists of a set of input conditions, represented by contact instructions, and an output instruction at the end of the rung is represented by the coil symbol.
Normally Closed Normally closed contact and is converted to open circuit when energized. Coil
Lab. Tasks:
Lab Task No 1:
Create a three input NAND Gate and three inputs NOR Gate.
o Additionally the change requires that the manual pushbutton control should be permitted to operate at any pressure but not unless the specified temperature setting has been reached.
