PLC Programming Examples

Develop ladder Logic for Ex-OR gate Develop Ladder logic for induction motor control with following interlocks: a. Thermal Overload b. Winding Temp c. Bearing Temp

 Develop Ladder Logic for Simple Conveyor system. The hardware components are as follow: 1. START switch 2. STOP Switch INPUTS to the PLC: 1.LIMIT SWITCHES OUTPUTS from the PLC 1. MOTORS

 Develop ladder Logic for Alarm Annunciator for two inputs: Temperature and Pressure Construct the ladder logic diagrams for (a) the NAND gate and (b) the NOR gate. Also develop a truth table for both logics. Develop a physical ladder diagram for an electric motor with NO START push button, NC STOP push button, thermal overload limit switch opening on high temperature, GREEN light when running and RED light for thermal overload

Analog Programming Scaling Analog inputs for PLC

In automated systems, not all system components format data in the same manner, and as a result, data must be scaled, or resized, before it is used by a PLC control algorithm or outputted to a field device. The Scale (SCL) Instruction and the Scale with Parameters (SCP) Instruction accomplish that task

 Both instructions use the same formula to perform the scaling function, which is y = mx+b, where y is the output, m is the scaling rate, x is the input, b is the offset. Scaling rate (m) = (scaled Max - scaled Min) / (input Max - input Min) Offset (b) = (scaled Min) - (input Min x m)
