    PLC Problem Set 2: Timers + Counters

    1) The program will increment one counter every 60 seconds and a second counter every time the first reaches 60. The first resets at 60 and the second at 12. 2) The program controls resistors placed into kits. A sensor counts resistors passing by and a counter preset to 100 stops the spool at 100 resistors. A second counter tracks total resistors and counters can be manually reset. 3) The program latches a light on for 20 seconds after an input switch is turned on. It cycles up to 20 seconds until the switch is turned off. After the third 20 second cycle, the light unlatches.

    PLC PROBLEM SET 2: TIMERS + COUNTERS

    COUNTER PROBLEMS
    9. Write a program that will increment a counter's accumulated value 1 count every 60
    s.A second counter's accumulated value will increment 1 count every time the first
    counter's accumulated value reaches 60. The first counter will reset when its
    accumulated value reaches 60, and the second counter will reset when its accumulated
    value reaches 12.

    10. Write a program to implemen t the process illustrated in Figure 8·40. A company that
    makes electronic assembly kits needs a counter to count and control the number of
    resistors placed into each kit. The controller must stop the take-up spool at a
    predetermi ned amount of resistors (100). A worker on the floor will then cut the
    resistor strip and place it i n the kit. The circuit operates as follows:
    • A start/stop pushbutton station is used to tum the spool motor drive on and off manually.
    • A through-beam sensor counts the resistors as they pass by.
    • A counter preset for 100 (the amount of resistors in each kit) will automatically stop the
    take up spool when the accumulated count reaches 100.
    • A second counter is provided to count the grand total used .
    • Manual reset buttons are provided for each counter.

    11. Write a program that will latch on a light 20 s after an input switch has been turned on.
    The timer will continu e to cyde up to 20 s and reset itself until the input switch has
    been turned off. After the third time the timer has timed to 20 s, the light will be
    unlatched.

    12. Write a progra m that will turn a l ight on when a count reaches 20. The light is then
    to go off when a count of 30 is reached.

    13. Write a program to implemen t the box-stacking process il lustrated in Figure 8-41.This
    appl ication requires the control of a conveyor belt that feeds a mechanical stacker. The
    stacker can stack various numbers of cartons of ceiling tile onto each pallet (depending on
    the pallet size and the preset val ue of the counter). When the required nu mber of
    cartons has been stacked, the conveyor is stopped until the loaded pallet is removed
    and an empty pallet is placed onto the loading area. A photoelectric sensor will be used to
    provide count pulses to the counter after each carton passes by. In addition to a
    conveyor motor start/stop station, a remote reset button is provided to allow the
    operator to reset the system from the forklift after an empty pallet is placed onto the
    loading area. The operation of this system can be summarized as follows:
    • The conveyor is started by pressing the start button.
    • As each box passes the photoelectr ic sensor.a count is registered.
    • When the preset value is reached (in this case. 12).the conveyor belt turns off.
    • The forklift operator removes the loaded pallet.
    • After the empty pallet is in position, the forklift operator presses the remote reset button,
    which then starts the whole cycle over again.
