Description An escalator is used in a shopping mall. The escalator is controlled

by a frequency regulator through a PLC. The escalator may only run
when somebody stands on it. A photocell is positioned at the
beginning of the escalator to detect this.

Operating:
S1: Photocell

Monitoring:
H1: escalator operating
Output channel 0: motor runs at 100% (10 Volt)

A) The escalator is started by S1.

This must continue to run for 10 sec.
The control of the motor is coupled to output channel 0.
The motor must run at 100% (10 Volt).
