PLC Notes: (Type The Company Name)

This document contains notes on PLC programming concepts including: - PLCs run sequentially so outputs should not be connected in series but in parallel. - Internal tags can hold status bits that are tied to the same address to turn outputs on. - A case study example uses a level sensor and mixer with a valve that will close when the water level hits a certain point and the mixer will run until a stop is pressed. - Timers have unique identifiers and require a preset value to check. They will not reset without a switch. - Types of timers include ON delay (TON), OFF delay (TOF), and examples of their uses. - Counter types include count up

PLC NOTES
Andreas Metaxas

26/7/19
Note: PLC IS SEQUENTIAL LIKE C AND VHDL SO DON’T PUT OUTPUTS IN SERIES
BUT IN PARALLE

BAD

GOOD

HOLD IN INSTRUCTION: (AKA SEAL IN INSTRUCTION)

It can now be let go

Tied to the same address so it turns on


INTERNAL TAG: Holds the status bit

RUNG OPERATION: Typical stop / start button setup with an internal tag.
Case Study:

Once the water level hits a certain amount a level sensor turns on and the valve will close
-Mixer will start mixing the water and will stay on until stop is pressed

PROCESS:
1) Sort inputs & Outputs
Latching: An output latching instruction is an output instruction used to
maintain or latch an output ON
CASE STUDY2: Once the water level hits a certain
amount a level sensor turns on and
the valve will close

-Mixer will start mixing the water and


will stay on until stop is pressed
PLC TIMERS:
-Unique identifier in PLC memory

Timer Base:

You need to check the Pre-set

Without a switch, THE TIMER WILL NOT RESET.


using the switch when it’s active it will count and then reset when it’s false
Timer Cont: .DN

EXAMPLE:
Timer Cont2: .TT

Active from
limit switch = 1
and count to 30
Timer Cont3: EN

As long as the input is ==1 (true) then it’s true and EN is active
Cont Example Timer EN
Types of Timer
TIMER ON DELAY <TON>

A TIMER ON DELAY, is used to usually turn on a


timer after a certain amount of time
Types of Timers
TIMER OFF DELAY <TOF>

A TIMER OFF DELAY, is used to usually a output


OFF after the rung input goes false

An actual example: A fan that turns off 10 seconds after a button is pressed
The cycle begins when the button or (RUNG) is false
Example Problem
Types of Counter IN PLC
COUNT UP:
Count Down:
COUNT UP & DOWN COUNTER:
EXAMPLE COUNTERS:
CONT
Case Study

Position A: WHEN 12 SHEETS ARE STACKED THEY MOVE TO B AND A SENSOR IS


USED AT B TO INDICATE TO STOP

Position B: PAINT IS APPLIED FOR 10 SECONDS, AFTER DONE IT STARTS AND


GOES TO C

Position C: THE STACKS STOP AUTOMATICALLY AND ARE REMOVED MANUALLY


A STEP PUSH BUTTON CAN STOP THE PROCESS AT ANY TIME
