Chapter 7, Problem 13P
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.

2. Develop a ladder program for following system: PB 1 is used for main system ON. PB 2 is used Main OFF. Lights will be switched on and off with following sequence. Lights White light Action Switch ON for 30 second when sensor 1 is sensed Red light Green light Orange light Yellow light Switch ON for 1minute when sensor 2 is sensed Switch ON for 2 minute when sensor 3 is sensed Switch ON when no sensors are sensed Switch ON when all sensors are sensed
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?
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.
