Timers and Counter function in PLC

Sunday, November 15, 2009 Labels: , 2 comments

Timers and counters are indispensable in PLC programming. Industry has to number its products, determine a needed action in time, etc. Timing functions is very important, and cycle periods are critical in many processes. There are two types of timers delay-off and delay-on. First is late with turn off and the other runs late in turning on in relation to a signal that activated timers. Example of a delay-off timer would be staircase lighting. Following its activation, it simply turns off after few minutes. Each timer has a time basis, or more precisely has several timer basis. Typical values are: 1 second, 0.1 second, and 0,01 second. If programmer has entered .1 as time basis and 50 as a number for delay increase, timer will have a delay of 5 seconds (50 x 0.1 second = 5 seconds). Timers...

Connection sensors and execution devices in PLC

Labels: 1 comments

Introduction  Connecting external devices to a PLC controller regardless whether they are input or output is a special subject matter for industry. If it stands alone, PLC controller itself is nothing. In order to function it needs sensors to obtain information from environment, and it also needs execution devices so it could turn the programmed change into a reality. Similar concept is seen in how human being functions. Having a brain is simply not enough. Humans achieve full activity only with processing of information from a sensor (eyes, ears, touch, smell) and by taking action through hands, legs or some tools. Unlike human being who receives his sensors automatically, when dealing with controllers, sensors have to be subsequently connected to a PLC. How to connect input and output...

Mechanical system in PLC

Labels: , 1 comments

There are two mechanic design types used occasionally for system-sistem PLC : Single box Type , and Type Modular and Rak. Single box type generally applied for small fairish controller of which can be programmed and marketed in the form of inwrought packaging, complete with energy?power allowance, processor, memory, and units input/output. See picture under Usually, a kind of this PLC type can have 40 point of input/output and an memory unit which storage can around 300 to 1000 instructions. Modular type consisted of modules that is separate, his(its each to ration energy?power, processor, other modules, often stuck into at rail lines in a base. Rack Type can be utilized for all controller measure program and has multifarious tidy functional unit for independent modules of which can be...

How does PLC works

Labels: , 1 comments

Basis of a PLC function is continual scanning of a program. Under scanning we mean running through all conditions within a guaranteed period. Scanning process has three basic steps: Step 1. Testing input status. First, a PLC checks each of the inputs with intention to see which one of them has status ON or OFF. In other words, it checks whether a sensor, or a switch etc. connected with an input is activated or not. Information that processor thus obtains through this step is stored in memory in order to be used in the following step. Step 2.  Program execution. Here a PLC executes a program, instruction by instruction. Based on a program and based on the status of that input as obtained in the preceding step, an appropriate action is taken. This reaction can be defined as activation...

Ladder diagram to PLC programming

Thursday, November 12, 2009 Labels: 0 comments

PLC Introduction Programmable controllers are generally programmed in ladder diagram (or "relay diagram") which is nothing but a symbolic representation of electric circuits. Symbols were selected that actually looked similar to schematic symbols of electric devices, and this has made it much easier for electricians to switch to programming PLC controllers. Electrician who has never seen a PLC can understand a ladder diagram. Ladder diagram There are several languages designed for user communication with a PLC, among which ladder diagram is the most popular. Ladder diagram consists of one vertical line found on the left hand side, and lines which branch off to the right. Line on the left is called a "bus bar", and lines that branch off to the right are instruction lines. Conditions which...
