Interlocking Examples PDF

This document describes a latching control circuit for controlling a ceiling fan. Pressing the START button turns on the fan motor until STOP is pressed or an error occurs. The TEST button allows checking if the fan is running normally. An interlock control circuit for a parking lot entry/exit is also described. It ensures only one direction of traffic at a time to prevent accidents by controlling indicators for entering and leaving cars separately.

Control Purpose:
z

Controlling the running state of the ceiling-fan by pressing START and STOP.

Checking if the ceiling-fan is running normally by pressing TEST.

Devices:
Device

Function

X0

Press START, X0 = ON.

X1

Press STO, X1 = ON.

X2

Press TEST, X2 = ON.

X3

Error signal

Y1

Ceiling-fan motor control signal

Control Program:

Error Signal

X2
TEST button

Program Description:
z

Press START lightly and X0 = ON. The ceiling-fan will keep running if no error occurred (X3
= OFF). The action can be practiced by a latching circuit which takes output Y1 as one of the
input condition to keep the fan running even if the START button is not pressed.

When STOP is pressed, X1 = ON and Y1 = OFF. The ceiling-fan will stop running.

If error occur (X3 = ON), Y1 will be OFF and the ceiling-fan will stop running.

When TEST is pressed (X2 = ON), Y1 = ON. The ceiling-fan will start running if no error
occurred (X3 = OFF). On the contrary, when TEST is released, the ceiling-fan will stop
running. The testing function is performed by this process.

Control Purpose:
z

The Entry/Exit of the parking lot is a single lane passage. By controlling the indicators, the program
ensures that only one car can pass through the Entry/Exit so as to prevent car accident between
entering and leaving cars

Devices:
Device

Function

X0

Car entering sensor. When a car passes through the sensor, X0 = ON.

X1

Car leaving sensor. When a car passes through the sensor, X1 = ON.

Y0

Entering car indicatorON means GO, OFF means STOP

Y1

Leaving car indicatorON means GO, OFF means STOP

Program Description:
z

In the parking lot, there are two indicators individually directing the entering and leaving cars.
By the interlock control circuit, only one indicator will show GO signal and the car accident
will thus be prevented.

When an entering car draws near the vehicle control barrier, X0 will be ON and so will Y0.
The entering car indicator will show GO. At the same time, the leaving car indicator will
show STOP. Car entering is allowed but leaving is prohibited in this case.

When a leaving car draws near the vehicle control barrier, X1 will be ON and so will Y1. The
leaving car indicator will show GO and the entering car indicator will show STOP.
