PLC Program Examples Instrumentation Tools

The document provides three examples of PLC programs. The first example uses AND and OR logic to control a signal lamp based on a pump running and pressure as well as a lamp test switch. The second example uses OR and AND logic to operate a valve to lift a load when a pump is running and either a lift switch or bottom switch is activated. The third example uses AND logic across four sensors to output a signal only when none of the sensors output a signal. Diagrams are provided for the logic and ladder programming for each example.

PLC Example 1 :

A  signal  lamp  is  required  to  be  switched  on  if  a  pump  is  running  and  the  pressure  is
satisfactory, or if the lamp test switch is closed.

For the inputs from the pump and the pressure sensors we have an AND logic situation since
both  are  required  if  there  is  to  be  an  output  from  the  lamp.  We,  however,  have  an  OR  logic
situation  with  the  test  switch  in  that  it  is  required  to  give  an  output  of  lamp  on  regardless  of
whether there is a signal from the AND system.

The function block diagram and the ladder diagram are thus of the form shown in Figure 1.37.
Note that with the ladder diagram we tell the PLC when it has reached the end of the program
by the use of the END or RET instruction,

PLC Example 2 :

As  another  example,  consider  a  valve  which  is  to  be  operated  to  lift  a  load  when  a  pump  is
running and either the lift switch is operated or a switch operated indicating that the load has
not already been lifted and is at the bottom of its lilt channel. We have an OR situation for the
two  switches  and  an  AND  situation  involving  the  two  switches  and  the  pump.  Figure  1.38
shows a possible program.

PLC Example 3 :

As another example, consider a system where there has to be no output when any one of four
sensors gives an output, otherwise there is to be an output. One way we could write a program
for  this  is  for  each  sensor  to  have  contacts  that  are  normally  closed  so  there  is  an  output.
When there is an input to the sensor the contacts open and the output stops. We have an AND
logic  situation.  Figure  1.39  shows  the  functional  block  diagram  and  the  ladder  diagram  of  a
system that might be used.
