Program Plan Intro

Programmable Logic Controller (PLC):

  • • Programmable Logic Controller (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 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 control programming language.

Q2 Design a controller for 4-bit computer using the given table. (assume instruction register size is 10 bit) Opcode      Binary Representation LDA            10010 ADD            10110 SUB            11111 OUT            01101 HLT             00001
(d) The table below shows the ALUcontrol signal of the datapath we discussed in class. Instruction Funct ALU Орсode ALUop ALU action operation field control Iw 00 load word XXXXXX add 0010 Sw 00 store word XXXXXX add 0010 beq 01 branch equal subtract 0110 XXXXXX R-type 10 add 100000 add 0010 R-type 10 subtract 100010 subtract 0110 R-type 10 AND 100100 AND 0000 R-type 10 OR 100101 OR 0001 R-type 10 set on less than 101010 set on less than 0111 You want to add the bne instruction into the datapath, which already includes the required hardware for the instruction. Write out the ALUop for bne and how you can determine whether the bne results in the branch to be taken.
