2 PLC Program To Implement Various Boolean Functions

This document presents a PLC program to implement two Boolean functions. The first function takes inputs w, x, and y and outputs y. The second function takes inputs a, b, c, and d and outputs ab + ad + bd, which was simplified using a Karnaugh map. The PLC ladder logic program defines the inputs and outputs for each function and describes how the output will be high based on the input conditions. Runtime test cases are provided to test each Boolean function.

PLC Program to Implement Various Boolean

Functions
This is a PLC program to implement various boolean functions.

Problem Description
Implement following Boolean Functions in PLC Ladder Diagram programming
language,
F(w,x,y)=∑(1,3,5,7)
F(a,b,c,d)=∑(0,1,2,3,5,7,9,11)

Problem Solution
 Here in these 2 equations, inputs for equation (1) are w, x, and y while for equation
(2) are a, b, c, and d.
 To solve this problem, we must first minimize the expression by using Karnaugh-
Map method.

Solution for equation (1)

Solution for equation (2)

Output of these equations obtained by solving K-Map is as given below.


F(w,x,y) = y
F(a,b,c,d)= ¯ab+¯ad+ ¯b d
PLC Program
Here is PLC program to implement various boolean functions, along with
program explanation and run time test cases.
W = I:1/0 (Input)
X = I:1/1 (Input)
Y = I:1/2 (Input)
F(w,x,y) = O:2/0 (Output)

Program Description
 As you can see the output of equation (1) is F(w,x,y)=y which shows that O:2/0 will
go high when Y or I:1/2 is set to 1 and this is obtained by simplifying the equation
by Karnaugh Map method.
 Output remains high until input Y is set irrespective of inputs W and X, that is I:1/0
and I:1/1 respectively.

List of Inputs and Outputs for Equation (2)


A = I:1/0 (Input)
B = I:1/1 (Input)
C = I:1/2 (Input)
D = I:1/3 (Input)
F(A,B,C,D)= O:2/0 (Output)

Program Description
 Output F(a,b,c,d)/O:2/0 here will go high in 3 conditions. As we can see from the
ladder diagram and in the Boolean function which was solved using Karnaugh
Map.
 There are 3 pairs of inputs connected in parallel to each other which represent OR
function and connecting each of them pair of two inputs in AND function.
 Output goes high in following three conditions.
 Whenever A (I:1/0) and B (I:1/1) are Low irrespective of other input states.
 Whenever A (I:1/0) is Low AND D (I:1/3) is High irrespective of other input states.
 And whenever B (I:1/1) is Low and D (I:1/3) is High irrespective of other input
states.
