6 PLC Program To Implement Binary To BCD Converter

The document describes a PLC program to implement a binary to BCD converter using ladder logic. Key steps include writing a truth table relating binary inputs to BCD outputs, obtaining simplified logic expressions for each BCD output using Karnaugh maps, and programming the ladder logic to output the appropriate BCD number for any given 4-bit binary input. The ladder program is tested by inputting various binary numbers and verifying the correct BCD output.

PLC Program to Implement Binary to BCD Converter

This is a PLC Program to Implement Binary to BCD Converter.

Problem Description
Implementing Binary to BCD converter in PLC using Ladder Diagram
programming language.

Problem Solution
 Writing truth table showing the relation between Binary as input and BCD as
output.
 To obtain these equations, Karnaugh-Map method is again used.
 For each BCD output D4, D3, D2, D1 and D0, write Karnaugh-Map.
 From the K-Map, obtaining a simplified expression for each BCD output in terms of
Binary inputs.
 Realize the code converter using the Logic Gates.
 And from the same simplified expressions, draw a Ladder Diagram to obtain BCD
output in terms of Binary inputs.

Boolean expression for each BCD bits can be written as


D4= m(10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
D3= m(8, 9)
D2= m(4, 5, 6, 7, 14, 15)
D1= m(2, 3, 6, 7, 12, 13)
D0= m(1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15)

Ladder Diagram to obtain BCD output

Program Description
 D4 is MSB bit of BCD output.
 D3 is 2nd bit of BCD output and so are similarly D2, D1 and D0, 3rd, 4th and LSB
of BCD output respectively.
 B3 to B0 are 4 Binary inputs which are converted into BCD numbers.
 RUNG000 is used for D4 bit and so on till RUNG004 which is used for LSB D0.
 As we apply any 4bit binary input, B3 to B0 are set to 1 such that D4 to D0 bits go
high according to BCD patterns of the applied Binary input.
