Program Plan Intro

Programmable Logic Controller (PLC):

  • PLC is a specialized computer used in industrial segments to control machines and process.
  • PLC is program that consists of a set of instructions which resembles the controlling functions needed to perform specific tasks.
  • The function of PLC is similar to that of a relay and hence, in an industrial segment a relay is greatly replaced by a suitable PLC.
  • When compared to general Personal Computer (PC), a PLC is available in small and tiny sizes.
  • The basic architecture of a PLC consists of an input-output interface module and a small Central Processing Unit (CPU) that runs by controlling programming language.

ROBLEM: Control 2 double acting cylinders using one push button for start and one push button for stop. The repetitive cycle is as follows: Extend C1, after 5 seconds extend C2, after 5 seconds retract C1, after 5 seconds retract C2 All the process stops when the cycle repeats itself 5 times (counter) in a row. (Use CTD counter) I – Conduct the experiment with Codesys PLC module or online PLC simulator. () II- Simulate the process with I/O, and evaluate the outputs. () III- Make suitable connections for the pneumatic circuit and PLC, run the simulation and get the output verified. IV-Interpret the output of the PLC program with respect to its function.
