Chapter 7, Problem 6RQ
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.
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 Delay-OFF timer, Delay-ON timer and Delay-ON-Retentive timer.
Explanation of Solution
b.
Resetting the accumulated count to zero:
- The accumulated count of retentive timers can be reset to zero by using a separate reset signal.
- This separate signal is known as Retentive Timer Reset (RES) instruction.
- When RES is true, the accumulated value of the timer is reset to zero...

Students have asked these similar questions
in your own words,describe why a one shot timer cannot be used reliably to create a periodic tick in a system.That is why can it not be used to keep track of the time of day for a long period.
Briefly answer the following question (No partial credits)
Suppose that we want to use the following timer/counter structure as part of a turnstile
machine to detect the number of passengers passing through a gate entrance. We will use a
sensor placed on the turnstile machine such that every time a passenger passes through the
gate entrance, the sensor will send a pulse to the timer/counter to indicate that a new
passenger has passed through the entrance.
In order to correctly count the events (number of passengers passing through), indicate the
logic value that we should set in the "Ctr" signal in the "Clock Select" block in the diagram
below. Justify your answer.

The belt is started when the start button is pressed and runs until either the stop button is pressed or until there is no luggage detected on the belt for 60 seconds.arrow_forward• Design a sequential circuit with two T Flip Flops, A and B, and two inputs, E and x. If E=0, the circuit remains in the same state regardless of the value of x. When E=1 and x=1, the circuit goes through the state transitions from 00 to 01 to 10 to 11 back to 00, and repeats. When E=1 and x=0, the circuit goes through the state transition from 00 to 11 to 10 to 01 back to 00, and repeatsarrow_forwardIn digital electronics and modern computer hardware, a flip-flop is sequential digital circuit used as a basic memory element. It has two stable states and can be used to store state information. One of its states represents ‘1’ while the other represents ‘0’. The most common types of flip-flops are SR-flip-flop, JK-flip-flop, and D flip-flop. When used in a finite-state machine, the output and next state depend not only on its current input, but also on its current state (and hence, previous inputs). Figure 1 D-Flip-flop with clock pulse (CP) Figure 1 shows a D flip-flop with clock pulse (CP). D is directly passed from stage1 to stage 2 through NAND gate and passed as inverted through gate 5 and gate 4. The input D is always sampled when the system CP is 1.

- Computer Science 1. Design a circuit for a digital lock using the minimum number of D latches. The lock has two input push-button switches A, B and it outputs a single pulse (Z1) for each activation i.e. lock open. The two switches are interlocked mechanically so that simultaneous pulses are not possible. The lock should have the following features: a. The opening sequence is 0011. ii. Then replace ‘0’ by ‘A’ and ‘1’ by ‘B’ in the sequence. b. Five B pulses should give an absolute reset. c. Any incorrect use of the A switch will cause an output (Z2) to ring a bell to warn that the lock is being tampered.arrow_forwardIn digital electronics and modern computer hardware, a flip-flop is sequential digital circuit used as a basic memory element.
