K1 M 0.0 Memory bit
K2 M0.1 Memory bit
K3 M0.2 Memory bit

Functional description: If the pushbutton S1 is pressed, the contactor

K1 is switched on as long as the pushbutton is pressed. At the same
time the contactor K3 is switched on and holds itself and the lamp H0
is on. If the pushbutton S1 is pressed again, contactor K2 is switched
on. Thereby contactor K3 drops and the lamp is off. The procedure can
be repeated arbitrarily.

Please create:

a) the Hardware configuration

b) the LAD

The pushbutton is wired to the input I 1.0. Contactors are to be

emulated by memory bits. The output Q 2.2 is directly connected to the
lamp.

a) Please specify the hardware configuration when using a PLC !

b) Please develop the statement list (STL)!

Exercise No. 7.11 :

The function ‘Back to back locking without direct switching over’

known from exercise No. 7.10 is to be implemented by means of R/S-
Flipflops.

Problem: FBD in PLC representation, LAD

Exercise No. 7.12 :

Please give a sequence of statements for a so called momentary pulse

in STL ?

(A momentary pulse is the logic "1"-state of a boolean variable for

exactly one program cycle as a reaction to the rising edge of another
boolean variable)
Exercise No. 7.13 :

The feed track in the parts delivery system should always contain
enough parts to make sure that the picking and placing process can
operate continuously without waiting for parts. When the upper level
switch sees a part for longer than 1 second the motor of the hopper
feeder should be switched off. It should be switched on if the lower
level sensor sees no part for longer than one second.

A lamp indicates a failure state. This failure state is set in case of

a congestion. It is reset by a pushbutton. The motor may not be on in
case of a failure.

Wanted: Logic in FBD

Exercise No. 7.15 :

variable to a upper limit ULIMIT and a lower limit LLIMIT?

Statements to use: L, T, JMP, JMPC, GT, LT

Exercise No. 7.16 : Multiplexer

According to the value of a boolean variable SWITCH either the one

(REF1) or the other reference value (REF2) for a control loop shall be
active.

Please specify a selection logic in STL !

Timer function

Exercise No. 7.17 :

An error indication shall be output at Q 0.0, if the value of a word

variable MW200 exceeds a limit value LIMIT for a predefined time t.
The error indication shall be stored in M 20.0. The Flipflop can be
reset by the acknowledgement input I 5.3.

How does the FBD representation of the logic look like?

Counters
Exercise No. 7.18 : Person counter

A Up-/Down-Counter is to be programmed. The persons in a room are to

be counted. For this purpose the entrance to the room is equipped with
two light barriers which are installed in a way that during the
passage through the entrance first one and then both light barriers
are interrupted. From that arrangement the counting signal is derived.
The sketch shows the counting direction.

Th e
light barriers provide a “1" signal, if the beam is interrupted. The
turnstile at the entrance is blocked if the room is occupied.

For resetting the counter a pushbutton S3 is to be used. H6 is for

room lighting. It is only on if there is someone in the room. K1
serves for the turnstile control. The maximum number of persons in the
room is 10.

From the timing sequence of the interruption of the beams of light we

can find out the counting direction. If light barrier A is interrupted
first, then the counting direction is upward. In case of counting
direction “downward” the light barrier B is interrupted first.

Preconditio n f o r
counting is, that at least one light barrier (in our example the light
barrier A) is interrupted. If now the state of signal B changes from
“0" to “1" we count upward. If B changes from “1" to “0" we count
downward. If only one light barrier is interrupted, counting is
prohibited.

Here the preconditi

on for counting is not fulfilled (Signal state “1" for A and edge for
light barrier B).
Exercise No. 7.19 :

Static sequence processor

Static sequence processors are systems which switch over output

signals from one output to the other or switch on new outputs
depending on input pulses.
A sequence processor, built up with R/S-Flipflops, is to be developed.
A rising edge, generated e.g. by a limit switch, given to the clock
input I 0.1 switches the output Q 10.0 on. When the logic state of the
input I 0.1 changes from "1"- to "0"-Signal afterwards, the outputs Q
10.0 and Q 10.1 have "1"-Signal etc.

The input I 0.2 resets the sequence processor.
