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 Delay-OFF timer, Delay-ON timer and Delay-ON-Retentive timer.

Retentive Timer On (RTO):

  • RTO refers to an on-delay timer.
  • RTO counts the time-based intervals as soon as the instruction becomes true.
  • It retains the accumulated value as soon as instruction goes false or when power cycle occurs.

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.
