MA Solved Numerical-1

This document describes an automated fluid storage tank system. When the start button is pressed, a valve opens to allow fluid to flow into the tank. When the tank is full, a float switch closes the inlet valve and activates a timer to allow for a chemical reaction. After the timer ends, a second timer is activated to drain the tank over 90 seconds while also opening the outlet valve. When draining is complete, the outlet valve closes.

Question

Consider the fluid storage tank illustrated in Figure. When the start button X1 is depressed, this closes the control relay
C1, which energizes solenoid S1, which opens a valve allowing fluid to flow into the tank. When the tank becomes full,
the float switch FS closes, which opens relay C1, causing the solenoid S1 to be de-energized, thus turning off the in-
flow. Switch FS also activates timer T1, which provides a 120-sec delay for a certain chemical reaction to occur in the
tank. At the end of the delay time, the timer energizes a second relay C2, which controls two devices: (1) It initiates timer
T2, which waits 90 sec to allow the contents of the tank to be drained, and (2) it energizes solenoid S2, which opens a
valve to allow the fluid to flow out of the tank. At the end of the 90 sec, the timer breaks the current and de-energizes
solenoid S2, thus closing the out-flow valve. Depressing the start button X1 resets the timers and opens their respective
contacts. Construct the ladder logic diagram for the system.
