A mixing vat has an inlet valve, an outlet valve, a mixing motor, and a single level detecting switch (Figure 1).
Both valves are opened by solenoids. The level switch closes when the vat is full and stays closed until the vat is
empty. Draw a PLC ladder logic diagram and provide the allocation list to do the
following:
a. When the start button is pushed, the inlet valve opens until the vat is full.
b. The mixer motor comes on for 5 min.
c. The outlet valve opens until the vat is empty.

In my case we have different inputs and outputs and all of them gotta be used in the diagram. I can perfectly interpret the diagram so no need to explain it, I will just require you to draw it. INPUTS : open push button ( OPB ) - close push button ( CPB ) - open limit switch ( OLS ) - close limit switch ( CLS ) - obstacle detection sensor ( ODS ) - safety sensor ( SS ) - emergency stop push button ( ESPB ) - reset button ( RB ) OUTPUTS : motor starts ( MS ) - motor stops ( MSTP ) - motor forward ( MF ) - motor reverse ( MR ) - Error display ( ER ) OPERATİNG MODES : automatic mode ( AM ) - manual mode ( MM ) NECESSARY TIMERS : T1 ( delay door movement after obstacle detection ) - T2 ( delay door movement after reversing ) Here is my excercise for today.
