PLC Midterm Quiz

This document outlines the sections and questions for a midterm quiz on programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Section I contains identification questions asking students to identify PLC components from ladder logic diagrams. Section II involves deriving the truth table, Boolean expression, and ladder logic for a given problem. Section III requires students to design ladder logic implementations for a burglar alarm system and a 4-input encoder/decoder. The quiz tests students' abilities to identify PLC components, simplify Boolean expressions, and design ladder logic to solve practical control problems.

Midterm Quiz

I.

Identification: Write the best answer which best satisfy the question asked.(1 point each)

1. It is the connection between the element in the rung It provides intelligence to command and govern the activities of the entire PLC systems. 2. It is the horizontal lines in a ladder diagram 3. It is the two vertical lines in a ladder diagram

4-7. What circuit component does the following ladder diagram symbol represent? (Answer from left to right)

10

8-10 What circuit switch input schematic does the following relay logic diagram symbol represent?

10-14. What circuit component does the following ladder diagram symbol represent? (Answer from left to right)

15. What Logic element does the following ladder diagram symbol represent? II. Simplification 1: Derive the truth table and Boolean expression, simplify the Boolean expressions then implement the ladder logic diagram (5 pts) 1.

III.

Design and Analysis. Derive the proper ladder logic implementation for the following problems. 1. Design a burglar alarm(10 pts) i. When activated an alarm and lights will be activated to encourage the unwanted guest to leave. ii. This alarm be activated if an unauthorized intruder is detected by window sensor and a motion detector. iii. The window sensor is effectively a loop of wire that is a piece of thin metal foil that encircles the window. iv. If the window is broken, the foil breaks breaking the conductor. v. This behaves like a normally closed switch. vi. The motion sensor is designed so that when a person is detected the output will go on. vii. As with any alarm an activate/deactivate switch is also needed. 2. Design a 4-input encoder and decoder.(10 pts)
