4-PLC Programming-2020-Hand Out

This document provides an introduction to PLC programming using ladder logic. Students will learn how to construct ladder diagrams to represent logic functions like AND, OR, NAND and XOR that control outputs based on sensor inputs. Ladder diagrams are drawn with horizontal rungs connecting power rails, allowing circuits to be built similarly to electrical diagrams. Examples show how ladder logic can be used to program systems like temperature controls that turn outputs on and off based on input conditions. References are also provided for further reading on PLC and ladder logic fundamentals.

Introduction
• Explain programmable logic controller (PLC) programming using
ladder diagram
• Students will learn
• Programmable logic controller (PLC)
• Ladder Programming (Chapter 21.4 pg 445-447)
• Logic function (Chapter 21.4.1 pg 447-449)
• Knowledge and experience on computer help understanding.
Programming
Power supply

• Use ladder diagram like

• Ladder diagram is a high level

• Ladder diagram has 2 vertical 000.03 010.02

lines represent power lines (+

contact input
Drawing rung
• To draw circuit for a rung
• Input must be in front of output
• At lease there is one output
• Input & output are labeled with address following PLC manufacturer
• Example CPM1A Sysmac Omron PLC address
• 6 inputs 000.00-000.05
• 4 outputs 010.00-010.03
• Example circuit to activate solenoid controlling water pipe valve with a
normally opened switch. When the switch is closed the current flows &
solenoid is activated.

Example of temperature control system
• Control temperature ON-OFF
• Input changing from low to high when sensor reach certain
temperature
• Output will change from ON to OFF
