 AUTOMATION:

Making products under the control of computers and

programmable controllers is
known as “ INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION”

Manufacturing assembly lines as well as stand alone

machine tools (CNC machines)and robotic devices fall under
this category.

2
 Components:

• Input modules(sensors)-Accepts and converts signals

from sensors to logic signals
• Output modules(actuators)-Convert control instruction to a
signal that be used to produce output
• Programmable Logic Control device-Consists of CPU and
memory which stores data and program to perform various
control operations
• Power supply-Needed to run primary PLC components
• Programming device(personal computer)-Used for
programming the PLC by the user

 PLC :

 A PLC (Programmable Logic Controllers) is an

industrial computer used to monitor inputs, and
depending upon their state make decisions based
on its program or logic, to control (turn on/off) its
outputs to automate a machine or a process.
 Programming language in plc:
1.Ladder Logic ( LAD/LD )
2.Structured Text ( ST)
3.Instruction List ( IL )
4.SequenFunction Chart ( SFC )
5.Function Block Diagram
4 ( FBD )

 UNDERSTANDING OF PLC

• Machine can be controlled by PLC without any human efforts

Outputs

LEDs

Inputs

6
 CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT(CPU)
It is the brain of PLC and governs the activities of the entire PLC
systems
 The CPU consists of following blocks :

Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), Internal memory of CPU

Internal timers ,counters and Flags .
 The various operations performed are :
Scanning I/O bus traffic control, Program execution, Peripheral
and External device communication,Data handling and self
diagnostics.
MEMORY
 It stores information,data and programsin the PLC.
 Read only memory and random access memory are used in PLCs

 PLC PROGRAMMING
 Ladder logic is a programming language used to develop software for
PLC used in industrial control applications

• In the

diagram, it can be seen that

either input A or B is

be true (1), or both are true,

then the output C is true (1).

 PROGRAMMING EXAMPLE:
Ladder Logic Program for Start/Stop of Motor :

Programming PLC Starting of motor Continuous running of

motor when start button
is released
