1.0 Introduction To PLC

Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) were developed to replace electromechanical relays in industrial applications. PLCs can be programmed to perform sequential and discrete operations to control external equipment. They are designed to perform the logic functions previously accomplished by electromechanical relays and other standalone controllers. PLCs use a programming memory to store instructions for implementing specific functions like logic, sequencing, timing, counting and arithmetic to control machines or processes through digital or analog modules. Major components of PLCs include an input/output module, processor, power supply and programming device.

Definition of PLC

• Programmable Logic Controllers are solid state devices that


can be programmed to performed sequential and discrete
state operation on external equipment

• They are designed to perform the logic functions previously


accomplished by electromechanical relays, drum switches,
mechanical and electronic timers and counters, standalone
digital PID controllers etc.
Programmable Logic Controllers
( Definition according to NEMA standard ICS3-1978)

A digitally operating electronic apparatus which uses a


programming memory for the internal storage of instructions
for implementing specific functions such as logic,
sequencing, timing, counting and arithmetic to control
through digital or analog modules, various types of machines
or process.

PLC and Computer
• A PLC and a computer both are electronic processor unit. The architecture of
a PLC’s CPU is basically same as that of a general purpose computer;
however, some important characteristics set them apart.
• Unlike computer, PLCs are specifically designed to survive the harsh
conditions of the industrial environment. A well-designed PLC can be placed
in an area with substantial amounts of electrical noise, electromagnetic
interference, mechanical vibration, and noncondensing humidity.
• Distinction of PLCs is that their hardware and software are designed for easy
use by plant electricians and technicians. The hardware interfaces for
connecting field devices are actually part of the PLC itself and are easily
connected.
• The modular and self-diagnosing interface circuits are able to pin point
malfunctions and moreover, are easily removed and replaced.
• Software programming uses conventional relay ladder symbols, or other
easily learned languages, which are familiar to plant personnel.
• A computer can execute a complex programming task and also multitasking.
An standard PLC is designed to executes a single program in an orderly
fashion. As PLCs are rapidly changing, modern PLCs have multitasking
capabilities.
• Programmable logic controller have made it possible to
precisely control large process machines and driven equipment
with less physical wiring and wiring time than it requires with
standard electro-mechanical relays, pneumatic system, timers,
drum switches, and so on.

• The programmability allows for fast and easy changes in the


relay ladder logic to meet the changing needs of the process or
driven equipment without the need for expensive and time
consuming rewiring process.

• Modem PLCs are "electrician friendly", PLC can be


programmed and used by plant engineers and maintenance
electricians without much electronic and computer
programming background. They can programmed by using
the existing ladder diagrams.

What is a Ladder Diagram?
A complete control scheme normally drawn as a series of
contacts and coils arranged between two vertical control
supply lines so that the horizontal lines of contacts appear
similar to rungs of a ladder. The control contacts (input
devices) are to left and coils (output devices) on the right.
Ladder diagrams are an industrial standard for representing
relay-logic control system

I/O Circuits
DIFFERENT TYPES OF I/O CIRCUITS

1. Pilot Duty Outputs


Outputs of this type typically are used to drive high-current
electromagnetic loads such as solenoids, relays, valves, and
motor starters.

These loads are highly inductive and exhibit a large inrush


current.

Pilot duty outputs should be capable of withstanding an


inrush current of 10 times the rated load for a short period of
time without failure.

30
I/O Circuits
2. General - Purpose Outputs
These are usually low- voltage and low-current and are used
to drive indicating lights and other non-inductive loads. Noise
suppression may or may not be included on this types of
modules.

3. Discrete Inputs
Circuits of this type are used to sense the status of limit
switches, push buttons, and other discrete sensors. Noise
suppression is of great importance in preventing false
indication of inputs turning on or off because of noise.

31
I/O Circuits
4. Analog I/O

Circuits of this type sense or drive analog signals.


Analog inputs come from devices, such as thermocouples,
strain gages, or pressure sensors, that provide a signal
voltage or current that is derived from the process variable.
Standard Analog Input signals: 4-20mA; 0-10V

Analog outputs can be used to drive devices such as


voltmeters, X-Y recorders, servomotor drives, and valves
through the use of transducers.
Standard Analog Output signals: 4-20mA; 0-5V; 0-10V

32
I/O Circuits
5. Special - Purpose I/O

Circuits of this type are used to interface PLCs to very specific


types of circuits such as servomotors, stepping motors PID
(proportional plus integral plus derivative) loops, high-speed
pulse counting, resolver and decoder inputs, multiplexed
displays, and keyboards.

This module allows for limited access to timer and counter


presets and other PLC variables without requiring a program
loader.

33
Discrete Input
A discrete input also referred as digital input is an input that is either
ON or OFF are connected to the PLC digital input.
In the ON condition it is referred to as logic 1 or a logic high and in the
OFF condition maybe referred to as logic o or logic low.

Processor
The processor module contains the PLC’s microprocessor,
its supporting circuitry, and its memory system.

The main function of the microprocessor is to analyze data


coming from field sensors through input modules, make
decisions based on the user’s defined control program and
return signal back through output modules to the field
devices. Field sensors: switches, flow, level, pressure, temp.
transmitters, etc. Field output devices: motors, valves,
solenoids, lamps, or audible devices.

The memory system in the processor module has two parts:


a system memory and an application memory.
42
Memory Map Organization
•System memory includes an area called the EXECUTIVE,
composed of permanently-stored programs that direct all system
activities, such as execution of the users control program,
communication with peripheral devices, and other system
SYSTEM activities.
•The system memory also contains the routines that implement the
PLC’s instruction set, which is composed of specific control
functions such as logic, sequencing, timing, counting, and
arithmetic.
•System memory is generally built from read-only memory devices.

APPLICATION
•The application memory is divided into the data table area and
•Data Table user program area.
•The data table stores any data associated with the user’s control
•User Program program, such as system input and output status data, and any
stored constants, variables, or preset values. The data table is
where data is monitored, manipulated, and changed for control
purposes.
•The user program area is where the programmed instructions
entered by the user are stored as an application control program.

43
Memory Designs
VOLATILE.
A volatile memory is one that loses its stored information
when power is removed.

Even momentary losses of power will erase any information


stored or programmed on a volatile memory chip.

Common Type of Volatile Memory

RAM. Random Access Memory(Read/Write)


Read/write indicates that the information stored in the
memory can be retrieved or read, while write indicates that
the user can program or write information into the memory.

44
Memory Designs

The words random access refer to the ability of any


location (address) in the memory to be accessed or used.
Ram memory is used for both the user memory (ladder
diagrams) and storage memory in many PLC’s.

RAM memory must have battery backup to retain or protect


the stored program.

45
Memory Designs
Several Types of RAM Memory:

1.MOS
2.HMOS
3.CMOS

The CMOS-RAM (Complimentary Metal Oxide


Semiconductor) is probably one of the most popular. CMOS-
RAM is popular because it has a very low current drain when
not being accessed (15microamps.), and the information
stored in memory can be retained by as little as 2Vdc.

46
Memory Designs
NON-VOLATILE
Has the ability to retain stored information when power is
removed, accidentally or intentionally. These memories do not
require battery back-up.

Common Type of Non-Volatile Memory

ROM, Read Only Memory


Read only indicates that the information stored in memory
can be read only and cannot be changed. Information in ROM
is placed there by the manufacturer for the internal use and
operation of the PLC.

47
Memory Designs
Other Types of Non-Volatile Memory

PROM, Programmable Read Only Memory


Allows initial and/or additional information to be written into
the chip.

PROM may be written into only once after being received


from the PLC manufacturer; programming is accomplish by
pulses of current.

The current melts the fusible links in the device, preventing it


from being reprogrammed. This type of memory is used to
prevent unauthorized program changes.

48
Memory Designs
EPROM, Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory

Ideally suited when program storage is to be semi-


permanent or additional security is needed to prevent
unauthorized program changes.

The EPROM chip has a quartz window over a silicon


material that contains the electronic integrated circuits. This
window normally is covered by an opaque material, but
when the opaque material is removed and the circuitry
exposed to ultra violet light, the memory content can be
erased.

The EPROM chip is also referred to as UVPROM.


49
Memory Designs
EEPROM, Electrically Erasable Programmable Read
Only Memory

Also referred to as E2PROM, is a chip that can be


programmed using a standard programming device and can
be erased by the proper signal being applied to the erase pin.

EEPROM is used primarily as a non-volatile backup for the


normal RAM memory. If the program in RAM is lost or erased,
a copy of the program stored on an EEPROM chip can be
down loaded into the RAM.

50
PLC Operation
Basic Function of a Typical PLC

Read all field input devices via the input interfaces, execute the
user program stored in application memory, then, based on
whatever control scheme has been programmed by the user, turn
the field output devices on or off, or perform whatever control is
necessary for the process application.

This process of sequentially reading the inputs, executing the


program in memory, and updating the outputs is known as
scanning.

51
While the PLC is running, the scanning process includes the
following four phases, which are repeated continuously as
individual cycles of operation:

PHASE 1
Read Inputs
Scan
PHASE 2
Program
Execution
PHASE 3
Diagnostics/
Comm
PHASE 4
Output
Scan

52
PHASE 1 – Input Status scan

• A PLC scan cycle begins with the CPU reading the status of
its inputs.

PHASE 2– Logic Solve/Program Execution

• The application program is executed using the status of the


inputs

PHASE 3– Logic Solve/Program Execution


• Once the program is executed, the CPU performs diagnostics
and communication tasks

53
PHASE 4 - Output Status Scan
• An output status scan is then performed, whereby the
stored output values are sent to actuators and other field
output devices. The cycle ends by updating the outputs.

54
As soon as Phase 4 are completed, the entire cycle begins again
with Phase 1 input scan.

The time it takes to implement a scan cycle is called SCAN TIME.


The scan time composed of the program scan time, which is the
time required for solving the control program, and the I/O update
time, or time required to read inputs and update outputs. The
program scan time generally depends on the amount of memory
taken by the control program and type of instructions used in the
program. The time to make a single scan can vary from 1 ms to 100
ms.

55
PLC Communications
Common Uses of PLC Communications Ports

• Changing resident PLC programs - uploading/downloading


from a supervisory controller (Laptop or desktop computer).

• Forcing I/O points and memory elements from a remote


terminal.

• Linking a PLC into a control hierarchy containing several sizes


of PLC and computer.

• Monitoring data and alarms, etc. via printers or Operator


Interface Units (OIUs).

56
PLC Communications
Serial Communications

PLC communications facilities normally provides serial


transmission of information.

Common Standards

RS 232

• Used in short-distance computer communications, with the


majority of computer hardware and peripherals.
• Has a maximum effective distance of approx. 30 m at 9600
baud.

57
PLC Communications
Local Area Network (LAN)

Local Area Network provides a physical link between all devices


plus providing overall data exchange management or protocol,
ensuring that each device can “talk” to other machines and
understand data received from them.

LANs provide the common, high-speed data communications bus


which interconnects any or all devices within the local area.

LANs are commonly used in business applications to allow several


users to share costly software packages and peripheral equipment
such as printers and hard disk storage.

58
PLC Communications
RS 422 / RS 485

• Used for longer-distance links, often between several PCs in a


distributed system. RS 485 can have a maximum distance of
about 1000 meters.

60
Specifications
Several factors are used for evaluating the quality and
performance of programmable controllers when selecting a unit
for a particular application. These are listed below.

NUMBER OF I /O PORTS

This specifies the number of I/O devices that can be connected to


the controller. There should be sufficient I/O ports to meet present
requirements with enough spares to provide for moderate future
expansion.

61
Specifications
OUTPUT-PORT POWER RATINGS

Each output port should be capable of supplying sufficient voltage


and current to drive the output peripheral connected to it.

SCAN TIME

This is the speed at which the controller executes the relay-ladder


logic program. This variable is usually specified as the scan time
per 1000 logic nodes and typically ranges from 1 to 200
milliseconds.

62
Specifications
MEMORY CAPACITY

The amount of memory required for a particular application is


related to the length of the program and the complexity of the
control system. Simple applications having just a few relays do not
require significant amount of memory. Program length tend to
expand after the system have been used for a while. It is
advantageous to a acquire a controller that has more memory
than is presently needed.

Tank Used to Mix Two Liquids
A tank is used to mix two liquids. The control circuit operates as
follows:

1. When the start button is pressed, solenoids A and B


energize. This permits the two liquids to begin filling the tank.

2. When the tank is filled, the float switch trips. This de-
energizes solenoids A and B and starts the motor used to mix
the liquids together.

3. The motor is permitted to run for one minute. After one


minute has elapsed, the motor turns off and solenoid C
energizes to drain the tank.

66
Tank Used to Mix Two Liquids
4. When the tank is empty, the float switch de-energizes
solenoid C.

5. A stop button can be used to stop the process at any point.

6. If the motor becomes overloaded, the action of the entire


circuit will stop.

7. Once the circuit has been energized it will continue to operate


until it is manually stopped.

PROGRAMMING

Normally Open Normally Closed


(NO) (NC)

Power flows through these contacts when they are closed.

The normally open (NO) is true when the input or output status bit
controlling the contact is 1.

The normally closed (NC) is true when the input or output status bit
controlling the contact is 0.

72
Coils

Coils represent relays that are energized when power flows to


them.

When a coil is energized it causes a corresponding output to turn


on by changing the state of the status bit controlling the output to
1.

That same output status bit maybe used to control normally open
or normally closed contact anywhere in the program.
