Question
Chapter 9, Problem 8RQ
Program Plan Intro
a.
Programmable Logic Controller (PLC):
- 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 controlling
programming language.
Explanation of Solution
b.
Practical uses for forcing functions:
- The force functions available in PLCs are used to accomplish forcing.
- Force function refers to a manual control function that is capable of overriding the current status of I/O from keyboard...
Explanation of Solution
c.
Need to exercise extreme care:
- Extreme care must be taken while using forcing function because incorrect usage of forcing functions can cause damage to both equipment and people surrounding the equipment...

- Design a PLC program and prepare a typical I/O connection diagram and ladder logic program for the following motor control specifications: • Three starters are to be wired so that each starter is operated from its own start/stop pushbutton station. • A master stop station is to be included that will trip out all starters when pushed.arrow_forwardA PLC is used to control a single-axis robot, in which the axis is driven by a pneumatic cylinder. An output signal to the pneumatic cylinder causes it to extend (ON state). When there is no signal, the pneumatic cylinder retracts (OFF state). The gripper is an also driven by a pneumatic cylinder. The gripper open position is an OFF state and the closed position is an ON state. In order to perform a task, the following sequence of operations must be performed: TH Sequence No. Аxis Gripper OFF OFF 1 ON OFF ON ON 3 OFF ON 4 OFF OFF The process begins when the start bush button is ON and a part triggers a limit switch. For safety, an emergency switch is used to shut off the entire system.

When the process starts, the tank is empty and solenoid A energizes to start filling the tank with liquid. As the tank fills, the Empty sensor switch closes. When the tank is half full, the Mid-full level sensor switch closes and the motor starts running to mix the liquid. When the tank is full, the Full level sensor switch closes momentarily so that: a- The motor stops. b- Solenoid A is de-energized. c- Solenoid B is energized to empty the tank. When the tank is completely empty, the Empty sensor switch opens to de-energize solenoid B. The start button is pressed to repeat the sequence.
