Program Plan Intro

Timer:

  • Timer is mainly used to keep an output ON for a specific length of time.
  • It provides a preset delay to the control actions.
  • In a timer, the output will be energized when the preset value becomes equal to the accumulated value.
  • Three different types of timers include a Delay-OFF, a Delay-ON, and a Delay-ON-Retentive timer.

Timer OFF Delay (TOF):

  • TOF refers to an off-delay timer.
  • TOF counts the time-based intervals as soon as the instruction becomes false.
  • Here, the output changes its state from high to low when the timer provides some time delay (instruction goes from ON to OFF state).

Given:

In the given figure, the tags are formed for various areas of controller for various purposes.

  • The two push buttons are used to start and stop the process.
  • The highest level of the tank is indicated by the full level sensor switch. Here, when the tank level is full, the switch gets closed.
  • The empty level of the tank is indicated by the empty level sensor switch. Here, when the tank starts the filling process, the switch gets closed.
  • The “Solenoid A” is used to de-energize (it means to fill) the tank.
  • The “Solenoid B” is used to energize (it means to empty) the tank.

The process shown in figure 1 involves pumping fluid from Tank A to Tank B. The operation of the process can be described as follows, Before starting, PS1 must be closed. When the start button is pushed, the pump starts. The button can then be released and the pump continues to operate. When the stop button is pushed, the pump stops. PS2 and PS3 must be closed 8s after the pump starts. If either PS2 or PS3 opens, the pump will shutoff and will not be able to start again for another 15 s. For the above mentioned conditions develop a ladder program using direct method and provide the allocation list. PS1 PS2 PS3 Tank Tank Pump Figure 1 B.
Design a ladder program to run the material mixing system according to the following information: 1- When the start push button 10.0 is pressed, the pump (PUMP1 Q0.0) works for five seconds and then stops. 2- After that, the pump (PUMP2 Q0.1) runs for three seconds and then stops. 3- After that the pump (Mixer Motor Q0.2) works for 60 sec and then stops. 4-After that, the control valve (drian valve Q0.3) is opened, the pump (PUMP3 Q0.4) works for ten seconds. 5- The stop push button 10.1 is used to stop the system.
Write / write a two-motor control program so that when the ignition is closed, the first motor runs and when the ignition is opened The second engine is running?
