Exercise 4: Burglar Alarm- The NOT Function

Objective

1. To be able to realize the logic NOT function with a PLC Training aim

Technical knowledge

The NOT function

The NOT function is used to convert binary signals into opposing signals:
 If the signal is 0, it is evaluated as 1
 If the signal is 1, it is evaluated as 0

Table A4.1 illustrates an example of the behaviour of the NOT function or an input %IX1
and an output %QX2.

Table 4.1: Function table for NOT function

Table A4.2 contains the commands for the implementation of the NOT function in the
individual programming languages.

Table A4.2: The NOT function

Problem description

A thin wire has been stretched behind a display window, which breaks if a burglary is
attempted. A closed circuit is interrupted as a result of this and a buzzer is sounded.

Exercise Definition

1. Drawing up the electrical circuit diagram and constructing the circuit

2. Describing the control task by means of the function table and the Boolean equation
3. Declaration of PLC program variables
4. Formulation of the PLC program into one of the PLC programming languages
5. Testing and commissioning of the PLC program and system

Implementation

4.1 Drawing up the electrical circuit diagram and constructing the circuit

 Complete the electrical circuit diagram on the worksheet.

 Assemble the required equipment on the slotted assembly board:

 Components list

 Prior to wiring : Switch off power supply

 Establish the electrical connections

4.2 Describe the control task by means of the function table and the Boolean
equation
 Describe the behaviour of the control system irrespective of technology by
means of the function table and the associated Boolean equation.

4.3 Declaration of the PLC program variables

 All variables are to be created as program-local variables.
 Specify only those parts of the declaration required for your PLC application.
These are: Designation, data type, address – only if directly addressed variables
are used – and variables comment.

4.4 Formulation of the PLC program into one of the PLC programming languages
 Select one of the programming languages supported by your PLC system.
Suitable languages for the formulation of logic control systems are LD, FBD, IL
and ST.

4.5 Testing and commissioning of PLC program and system

 Prior to commissioning of the installation: Check the assembled circuit with
the help of the circuit diagrams!
 Commissioning of the installation: Switch on power supply using a standard
voltage of 24 V DC!
 Load the program to the PLC.
 Carry out a function check.
 Correct any errors occurring in the PLC program.
 Document your solution.
