LADDER LOGIC PROGRAMMING: CAR PARKING SYSTEM
USING OMRON PLC
PRE LAB TASK
Objectives

In this experiment you to have develop a prototype with the help of PLC for automatic car
parking. The parking is smart in the sense that there’s no need of any human efforts to provide
any security or guide lines to the users.
Introduction

PLC:
A programmable logic controller, PLC is a digital computer used for automation of typically
industrial electromechanical processes, such as control of machinery on factory assembly lines
etc. It is a solid state user programmable control system with functions to control logic,
sequencing, timing, arithmetic data manipulation and counting capabilities. It can be viewed as
an industrial computer that has a central processing unit, memory, input output interface and a
programming device. The central processing unit provides the intelligence of the controller. It
accepts data, status information from various sensing devices like limit switches, proximity
switches, executes the user control program stored in the memory and gives appropriate output
commands to devices such as solenoid valves, switches etc.
Theory
Description:
In this experiment you to have develop a prototype with the help of PLC for automatic car
parking. The parking is smart in the sense that there’s no need of any human efforts to provide
any security or guide lines to the users.
In the above example we have to control a car parking having capacity of 100 cars. There are two photo
electric sensors S1 and S2 and the IN and OUT gates respectively for the detection of the cars. There are
two light indicators L1 and L2 entrance showing the status of the car park. L1 is the light for full parking
and L2 is showing that there is space available. PT Screen showing the actual status of the car park. In
this experiment we have two external inputs i.e. S1 and S2 and two external outputs i.e. L1 and L2.
The logic of operation is that there will be a data area in the ladder program where we can set the
maximum limit of the car park i.e. 100 cars in this case. Whenever S1 detects a car at the IN gate this will
increment the present value (PV) and when S2 detects a car at the OUT gate this will decrement the PV.
Operation Flowchart:
