Exercise 2 One-Way Traffic Light

The document describes a PLC program to control a one-way traffic light. It includes components like a PLC controller and modules. The fundamental working mode is to simulate a traffic light with a green light for 3 seconds, yellow for 2 seconds, and red for 5 seconds in a repeating cycle. The requirements include a timing table, sequence diagram, and ladder logic diagram. The solution uses relays and timers to control the lights in the specified sequence and durations before repeating the cycle.

Figure 1
VII. Solution Description

A latching circuit was put into the ladder circuit to continuously energize it without
letting go of the pushbutton. When Pushbutton (make) S1 in the latching circuit is
actuated, Relay R1 is energized and activates 3 Makeswitches R1, to energize the
latching circuit the ladder circuit, and the indicator light circuits without holding on to the
pushbutton. While Makeswitches R1 in the ladder circuit and indicator light circuits are
energized, Relay R1 and parallel to it, Relay w/ switch-on delay T1 that has a 3-
second delay is also energized and therefore activates Makeswitches R1 and
Brakeswitches T1 after 3 seconds respectively. While Makeswitches R1 are energized,
Indicator lights (Green) are also energized. After 3 seconds of the activation Relay w/
switch-on delay T1, it activates Makeswitch T1, and trips Brakeswitches T1
simultaneously that respectively activates Relay R2, and de-activating Indicator lights
(Green).

While Makeswitch T1 is energized, Relay R2 and Relay w/ switch-on delay T2


that has a 2-second delay is also energized and therefore activates Makeswitches R2
and 2 Makeswitches T2 after 2 seconds respectively. While Makeswitches R2 are
energized, Indicator lights (Yellow) are also energized. After 2 seconds of the
activation Relay w/ switch-on delay T2, it activates the Makeswitch T2 parallel to Relay
R2, and the other Makeswitch T2 simultaneously that activates Relay R3, and de-
activating Indicator lights (Yellow) respectively.

While Makeswitch T2 is energized, Relay R3 and Relay w/ switch-on delay T3


that has a 5-second delay is also energized and therefore activates Makeswitches R3
and Makeswitch T3 and Brakeswitch T3 after 5 seconds respectively. While
Makeswitches R3 are energized, Indicator lights (Red) are also energized. After 5
seconds of the activation Relay w/ switch-on delay T3, it activates the Makeswitch T3
parallel to Relay R3, and Brakeswitch T3 parallel to Relay R1 simultaneously that
reactivates Relay R1 and de-activating Indicator lights (Red) respectively.

This process goes on repeatedly with each cycle repeating the same steps while
activating/deactivating, energizing/de-energizing respective electric circuit components
until it ends by actuating Pushbutton (break) S2, disconnecting the power passing
throughout the entire circuit.
