Control Lab Report Experiment No. 10
Exp# 10: An Introduction to Industrial Programmable Controllers Using PC45/ML. (Part III) Objective
Objective of this experiment are Design a complete program using relay, timer and counters.
Equipment list
The PC45/ML module contains following items: 1. Allen-Bradley MicroLogix 1500 Programmable Controller. 2. PC45 Programmable Controller Trainer. 3. PC45 Accessory kit. 4. PC49 Hand held compressor pump.
Procedure
The following programming exercises primarily require that either a tall or short object is detected and then thrown off the conveyor. You should note that Sensor 1 can detect only tall object, while Sensor 2 can detect both short and tall object. Therefore, detecting tall objects are straightforward; however, detecting short objects are not. If the total number of objects is known, then it is easier to detect short objects. Programming Exercise 1: Two objects-one tall and one short-are passing through the conveyor. It is not known which object comes first. Develop a program to detect the tall object and throw it off the conveyor through cylinder 1. Use timers. Programming Exercise 2: Two objects-one tall and one short-are passing through the conveyor. The tall object should follow the short object. Develop a program to detect the short object and throw it off the conveyor through cylinder 2. Use timers. Programming Exercise 3: Two objects-one tall and one short-are passing through the conveyor. The short object should follow the tall object. Develop a program to detect the short object and throw it off the conveyor through cylinder 2. Use 2 timers or 1 timer and 1 counter. Lab Report: Write a lab report explaining how the each program works. Prepared by Shahriyar Masud Rizvi
