4way Traffic Light Ladder Logic

This document describes a program for 4-way traffic light control using a PLC. It uses timers to control the sequencing and timing of the traffic lights - when each light turns red, yellow, or green. The program runs continuously in a loop, using the done bit of one timer to restart the sequence from the beginning. Inputs start and stop the program, while outputs control the different colored lights at each intersection. The ladder logic diagram shows how the timers and outputs are wired to implement the defined traffic light sequence.

4 Way Traffic Light Control

Problem Solution

1. They are so many ways to write a program for traffic light control ex:
sequencer output method but in this normal input, outputs and timers are
used.
2. Timers are used to give time delay for output to turn on and off.
3. Reset using timer done bit at the end to run the program continuously.
4. Program done in AB RSLogix 500 Software.
List of Inputs and Outputs

S.no Address Name Input/Output

1 I:0/0 Start Input

2 I:0/1 Stop Input

3 B3.0 Memory Memory

4 O:0/0 East Green Output

5 O:0/1 North Red Output

6 O:0/2 West Red Output

7 O:0/3 South Yellow Output

8 O:0/4 East Yellow Output

9 O:0/5 North Yellow Output

10 O:0/6 North Green Output

11 O:0/7 East Red Output

12 O:0/8 West Yellow Output

13 O:0/9 West Green Output

14 O:0/10 South Yellow Output

15 O:0/11 South Green Output


Sequence of Operation

Below tabular column gives the Steps or sequence of outputs to turn ON the
traffic system lamps (RED, GREEN, YELLOW)
PLC Ladder Logic
Logic Description
RUNG000

Latching rung to operate the system through Master Start and Stop PB.
RUNG001

Starting the timer to turn on output East Green ,North-South-West are in red.


Parallel circuits are added to turn ON/OFF the output in up next sequence.
RUNG 0002
Turning on North Yellow and East Yellow. Parallel circuits are added to turn
ON/OFF the output in up next sequence.
Rung 0003

Turn on East Red and North Green.


Rung 0004-0005-0006-0007

Same procedures followed to turn on further outputs.( Refer Above Tabular


column for sequence of operation)
RUNG 0008

Timer (T4:7) done bit is used to restart the cycle from beginning


Program runs continuously until STOP PB is pressed

Time delay of 10s has given using timers.


Note: We can reduce the number of timers using comparator block
Conclusion:

The above explained 4 ways traffic light control using PLC is for example only.
It may vary from real time. We can use this example program to understand the
working of timers and Interlocking function in AB PLC
