5(a) Write PLC ladder logic diagram as per the operational sequence given below figure.
!mage An explanation of the operational sequence is as follows:
Step1:The sequence begins by pressing the start button I: l in rung 0. As output 0.2/0 becomes energized, the rung becomes latched and corresponding contacts in rungs l. 3. 5. 6. and 9 close. The system becomes de-energized by pressing the stop button l: 1/0 in rung 0.
Step2:The closure of the start button also causes rung l to latch. By energizing output 0:2/l in rung 1. both conveyor belts begin running. When an empty can from the input conveyor enters the slot in position 1. it activates a limit switch that turns rung 2 True. As the output of rung 2 energizes, it Creates a False condition at Examine- Off contact 0:2/2, rung 1 unlatches, and the conveyor belts stop. Rung 3 is now in the True condition.
Step 3: When rung 3 becomes True. its output causes a valve to open and paint pours into an empty can at position 9. As the paint fills the can, a strain gauge measures the weight and sends a voltage, which is proportional to the weight of the paint, to an analog-to-digital module in the PLC The A/D converter module produces a proportional digital value at address 1:6.0. This digital value is compared using the EQU instruction on rung 4. Source A of the EQU instruction is the weight of the paint and source B is the program constant of 128.
Step4:When the paint can fills to I28 ounces, the values at source A and source B of the EQU instruction are the same. which energizes the rung and turns on B3/0 The corresponding Examine-Off (B3/0) on rung 3 becomes False and shuts off the valve. Also. the B3/0 contact on rung 6 energizes the rung. causing a robotic arm to place a lid on the can. When sensor 1: l/4 in rung 6 detects the placement of the lid. it causes the rung to latch, starting a motor that rotates the table.
Step5: As the table and incremental encoder rotate, the tip-counter C5:0 in rung 8 increments. Alter 72 pulses, the accumulator equals the preset value. The DN output of the counter then sets. causing the corresponding Examine-Off contact in rung 6 to become False. The result is that the rung unlatches and the rotary motor stops. 5 marks
