Program Plan Intro
a.
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 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 control
programming language.
PLC counter:
- A counter is a PLC instruction which counts up or down when the input transfers from an off state (false) to an on state (true).
- The three different types of counters instructions are as follows:
- Up counter
- Down counter
- Combined counter
Explanation of Solution
b.
Type of counter used:
- The given situation is “Keep track of the current number of parts in a stage of a process as they enter and exit”.
- An up-down counter is used for tracking the current number of parts in a process as they enter and exit...
Explanation of Solution
c.
Type of counter used:
- The given situation is “There are 10 parts in a full hopper. As parts leave, keep track of the number of parts remaining in the hopper”...

ROBLEM:
Control 2 double acting cylinders using one push button for start and one push button for stop. The
repetitive cycle is as follows: Extend C1, after 5 seconds extend C2, after 5 seconds retract C1, after 5
seconds retract C2 All the process stops when the cycle repeats itself 5 times (counter) in a row. (Use
CTD counter)

- 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.
