Instrumentationtools Com PLC Program Water Level Control

This document describes a PLC program for controlling water level in a storage tank. The program uses low and high level switches to turn a discharge pump on and off to maintain the water level. The PLC program has manual and automatic modes. In manual mode, the pump is controlled by buttons regardless of switch levels. In automatic mode, the pump turns on when the high level switch is activated and turns off when the low level switch is activated, maintaining the water level. Status lights indicate pump operation and switch activation levels. The PLC ladder logic diagrams show the logic for manual and automatic modes.

Manual : if Manual Mode Selected in Local Control Panel, then
irrespective of Low Level Switch & High Level Switch Status, Pump will be
controlled manually using ON/OFF button in Local Control Panel.
When the water level reaches low level then pump will be stopped.
if the level of the water reaches high point, the pump will started so that
the water can be drained and thus lowering the level.
Indication Panel : This panel contains LED’s to show the status of the water
level control. It has Pump Running, Low Level & High Level Signals
If pump is running then the Pump Running status lamp will be ON.
then, if Low Level Switch activated then Low Level Status lamp will be ON.
if High Level Switch activated then High Level Status lamp will be ON.
