AND
LADDER LOGIC
Greg Zimmerman
Electrical Engineering
Undergraduate
• Programmable Logic Controllers control most of
the mechanical processes in many areas of
production
• Very simple in operation, complex in design
Overview
• Definition
• Components
• PLC Operation
Definition
• A Programmable
controller is a solid
state user
programmable control
system with functions
to control logic,
sequencing, timing,
arithmetic data
manipulation and
counting capabilities.
Components
• CPU
• Memory Areas
• Circuits to input or
output data
• Ladder Logic
• Relay Logic
• “Jog” function added to previous relay circuit
• 1 component added
• 3 wires added
• Two status indicators added
• 6 additional wires
• Most widely used
program
• Shown here as a very
small program
4. Ladder Logic Programming
• Introduction
• Basics – NO/NC Contacts/Coils
• AND & OR Gates
• Timers and Counters
• Building a PLC Ladder Logic
Programming
Introduction
• First PLC programming system used
• Borrowed heavily from relay diagrams plant
electricians already knew
• Each rung solved left to right
Basics
• NO Contact
• NO Coil (Output)
• NC Contact
• NC Coil (Output)
AND Gate
OR Gate
Timers
