Chapter 2, Problem 42RQ
Program Plan Intro
Programmable Logic Controller (PLC):
- Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is a specialized computer used in industrial segments to control machines and process.
- PLC is programmable 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 run by control
programming language.

Design and derive the control gates for the write input of the memory in the basic computer.
4. Define an XIO instruction. Write down the symbol for it. Draw a PLC
programming diagram using this instruction and others to turn on a light. Explain
its operation.
A PLC is used to control a single-axis robot, in which the axis is driven by a pneumatic cylinder.
An output signal to the pneumatic cylinder causes it to extend (ON state). When there is no
signal, the pneumatic cylinder retracts (OFF state). The gripper is an also driven by a pneumatic
cylinder. The gripper open position is an OFF state and the closed position is an ON state. In
order to perform a task, the following sequence of operations must be performed:

The process begins when the start bush button is ON and a part triggers a limit switch. For
safety, an emergency switch is used to shut off the entire system. Design a PLC ladder diagram
for this application.
