Identification of system parts

Before the advent of solid-state logic circuits, logical control systems were
designed and built exclusively around electromechanical relays. Relays are far from
obsolete in modern design, but have been replaced in many of their former roles as
logic-level control devices, relegated most often to those applications demanding high
current and/or high voltage switching.
 Systems and processes requiring "on/off" control abound in modern commerce
and industry, but such control systems are rarely built from either electromechanical
relays or discrete logic gates. Instead, digital computers fill the need, which may be
programmed to do a variety of logical functions.

In the late 1960's an American company named Bedford Associates released a

computing device they called the MODICON. As an acronym, it meant Modular
Digital Controller, and later became the name of a company division devoted to the
design, manufacture, and sale of these special-purpose control computers. Other
engineering firms developed their own versions of this device, and it eventually came
to be known in non-proprietary terms as a PLC, or Programmable Logic Controller.
The purpose of a PLC was to directly replace electromechanical relays as logic
elements, substituting instead a solid-state digital computer with a stored program, able
to emulate the interconnection of many relays to perform certain logical tasks.

A PLC has many "input" terminals, through which it interprets "high" and
"low" logical states from sensors and switches. It also has many output terminals,
through which it outputs "high" and "low" signals to power lights, solenoids,
contactors, small motors, and other devices lending themselves to on/off control. In an
effort to make PLC's easy to program, their programming language was designed to
resemble ladder logic diagrams. Thus, an industrial electrician or electrical engineer
accustomed to reading ladder logic schematics would feel comfortable programming a
PLC to perform the same control functions.

PLC's are industrial computers, and as such their input and output signals are
typically 120 volts AC, just like the electromechanical control relays they were
designed to replace. Although some PLC's have the ability to input and output low-
level DC voltage signals of the magnitude used in logic gate circuits, this is the
exception and not the rule.

Signal connection and programming standards vary somewhat between

different models of PLC, but they are similar enough to allow a "generic" introduction
to PLC programming here. The following illustration shows a simple PLC, as it might
appear from a front view. Two screw terminals provide connection to 120 volts AC for
powering the PLC's internal circuitry, labeled L1 and L2. Six screw terminals on the
left-hand
hand side provide connection to input devices, each terminal representing a
different input "channel" with its own "X" label. The lower
lower-left
left screw term
terminal is a
"Common" connection, which is generally connected to L2 (neutral) of the 120 VAC
power source.

Inside the PLC housing, connected between each input terminal and the
Common terminal, is an optic
optic-isolator device (Light-Emitting
Emitting Diode) that provi
provides an
electrically isolated "high" logic signal to the computer's circuitry (a photo
photo-transistor
interprets the LED's light) when there is 120 VAC power applied between the
respective input terminal and the Common terminal. An indicating LED on the front
panel
anel of the PLC gives visual indication of an "energized" input:
 Output signals are generated by the PLC's computer circuitry activating a
switching device (transistor, TRIAC, or even an electromechanical relay), connecting
the "Source" terminal to any of the "Y-"" labeled output terminals. The "Source"
terminal, correspondingly, is usually connected to the L1 side of the 120 VAC power
source. As with each input, an indicating LED on the front panel of the PLC gives
visual indication of an "energized" out
output:
 In this way, the PLC is able to interface with real
real-world
world devices such as
switches and solenoids.

The actual logic of the control system is established inside the PLC by means of
a computer program. This program dictates which output gets energize
energizedd under which
input conditions. Although the program itself appears to be a ladder logic diagram, with
switch and relay symbols, there are no actual switch contacts or relay coils operating
inside the PLC to create the logical relationships between input aand
nd output. These are
imaginary contacts and coils, if you will. The program is entered and viewed via a
personal computer connected to the PLC's programming port.

Consider the following circuit and PLC program:

 When the pushbutton switch is inactivated (impressed), no power is sent to the
X1 input of the PLC. Following the program, which shows a normally
normally-open
open X1 contact
in series with a Y1 coil, no "power" will be sent to the Y1 coil. Thus, the PLC's Y1
output remains de-energized,
energized, and the indicator lam
lampp connected to it remains dark.

If the pushbutton switch is pressed, however, power will be sent to the PLC's
X1 input. Any and all X1 contacts appearing in the program will assume the actuated
(non-normal)
normal) state, as though they were relay contacts actuat
actuated
ed by the energizing of a
relay coil named "X1". In this case, energizing the X1 input will cause the normally
normally-
open X1 contact will "close," sending "power" to the Y1 coil. When the Y1 coil of the
program "energizes," the real Y1 output will become energiz
energized,
ed, lighting up the lamp
connected to it:

It must be understood that the X1 contact, Y1 coil, connecting wires, and

"power" appearing in the personal computer's display are all virtual.. They do not exist
as real electrical components. They exist as com
commands
mands in a computer program -- a
piece of software only -- that just happens to resemble a real relay schematic diagram.
 Equally important to understand is that the personal computer used to display
and edit the PLC's program is not necessary for the PLC's continued operation. Once a
program has been loaded to the PLC from the personal computer, the personal
computer may be unplugged from the PLC, and the PLC will continue to follow the
programmed commands. I include the personal computer display in these illustrations
for your sake only, in aiding to understand the relationship between real-life conditions
(switch closure and lamp status) and the program's status ("power" through virtual
contacts and virtual coils).

The true power and versatility of a PLC is revealed when we want to alter the
behavior of a control system. Since the PLC is a programmable device, we can alter its
behavior by changing the commands we give it, without having to reconfigure the
electrical components connected to it. For example, suppose we wanted to make this
switch-and-lamp circuit function in an inverted fashion: push the button to make the
lamp turn off, and release it to make it turn on. The "hardware" solution would require
that a normally-closed pushbutton switch be substituted for the normally-open switch
currently in place. The "software" solution is much easier: just alter the program so that
contact X1 is normally-closed rather than normally-open.

In the following illustration, we have the altered system shown in the state
where the pushbutton is inactivated (not being pressed):
In this next illustration, the switch is shown actuated (pressed):
 One of the advantages of implementing logical control in software rather than in
hardware
ardware is that input signals can be re
re-used
used as many times in the program as is
necessary. For example, take the following circuit and program, designed to energize
the lamp if at least two of the three pushbutton switches are simultaneously actuated:

Too build an equivalent circuit using electromechanical relays, three relays with
two normally-open
open contacts each would have to be used, to provide two contacts per
input switch. Using a PLC, however, we can program as many contacts as we wish for
each "X" input
nput without adding additional hardware, since each input and each output is
nothing more than a single bit in the PLC's digital memory (either 0 or 1), and can be
recalled as many times as necessary.
 Furthermore, since each output in the PLC is nothing m
more
ore than a bit in its
memory as well, we can assign contacts in a PLC program "actuated" by an output (Y)
status. Take for instance this next system, a motor start
start-stop control circuit:

The pushbutton switch connected to input X1 serves as the "Start" sswitch,

witch, while
the switch connected to input X2 serves as the "Stop." Another contact in the program,
named Y1, uses the output coil status as a seal
seal-in
in contact, directly, so that the motor
contactor will continue to be energized after the "Start" pushbutton switch is released.
You can see the normally-closed
closed contact X2 appear in a colored block, showing that it
is in a closed ("electrically conducting") state.

If we were to press the "Start" button, input X1 would energize, thus "closing"
the X1 contact in the program, sending "power" to the Y1 "coil," energizing the Y1
output and applying 120 volt AC power to the real motor contactor coil. The parallel
Y1 contact will also "close," thus latching the "circuit" in an energized state:
 Now, if we release the "Start" pushbutton, the normally-open
open X1 "contact" will
return to its "open" state, but the motor will continue to run because the Y1 seal
seal-in
"contact" continues to provide "continuity" to "power" coil Y1, thus keeping the Y1
output energized:
 To stop the motor, we must momentarily press the "Stop" pushbutton, which
will energize the X2 input and "open" the normally
normally-closed
closed "contact," breaking
continuity to the Y1 "coil:"
 When the "Stop" pushbutton is released, input X2 will de
de-energize,
energize, returning
"contact"
ntact" X2 to its normal, "closed" state. The motor, however, will not start again until
the "Start" pushbutton is actuated, because the "seal
"seal-in"
in" of Y1 has been lost:

In addition to input (X) and output (Y) program elements, PLC's provide
"internal" coils
ls and contacts with no intrinsic connection to the outside world. These
are used much the same as "control relays" (CR1, CR2, etc.) are used in standard relay
circuits: to provide logic signal inversion when necessary.

To demonstrate how one of these "in

"internal"
ternal" relays might be used, consider the
following example circuit and program, designed to emulate the function of a three
three-
input NAND gate. Since PLC program elements are typically designed by single
letters, I will call the internal control relay "C1" rather than "CR1" as would be
customary in a relay control circuit:
 In this circuit, the lamp will remain lit so long as any of the pushbuttons remain
inactivated (impressed). To make the lamp turn off, we will have to actuate (press) all
three switches, like this:
 This section on programmable logic controllers illustrates just a small sample of
their capabilities. As computers, PLC's can perform timing functions (for the equivalent
of time-delay relays), drum sequencing, and other advanced functions with far greater
accuracy and reliability than what are possible using electromechanical logic devices.
Most PLC's have the capacity for far more than six inputs and six outputs. The
following photograph shows several input and output modules of a single Allen-
Bradley PLC.

With each module having sixteen "points" of either input or output, this PLC
has the ability to monitor and control dozens of devices. Fit into a control cabinet, a
PLC takes up little room, especially considering the equivalent space that would be
needed by electromechanical relays to perform the same functions:

One advantage of PLC's that simply cannot be duplicated by electromechanical

relays is remote monitoring and control via digital computer networks. Because a PLC
is nothing more than a special-purpose digital computer, it has the ability to
communicate with other computers rather easily. The following photograph shows a
personal computer displaying a graphic image of a real liquid-level process (a
pumping, or "lift," station for a municipal wastewater treatment system) controlled by a
PLC. The actual pumping station is located miles away from the personal computer
display:

Conveyor

Objectives:-
Problem: A conveyor is run by switching on or off a motor. We are positioning parts
on the conveyor with an optical detector. When the optical sensor goes on, we want
to wait 1.5 seconds, and then stop the conveyor. After a delay of 2 seconds the
conveyor will start again. We need to use a start and stop button - a light should be
on when the system is active.

Accept/Reject Sorting

Objectives:-
Problem: For the conveyor in the last case we will add a sorting system. Gages
have been attached that indicate good or bad. If the part is good, it continues on. If
the part is bad, we do not want to delay for 2 seconds, but instead actuate a
pneumatic cylinder.
