It is composed of two basic sections, the power section and the logic section, coupled by an

As part of its normal operation, the processor sets the output states according to the logic
program. When the processor calls for an output, a voltage is applied across the LED of the
isolator. The LED then emits light which switches on the phototransistor into conduction.
This, in turn, switches a semiconductor switch such as Triac into conduction which turns on
the lamp. Since the triac conducts in either direction, the output to lamp is ac.

The triac rather than having ON and OFF status, actually has low and high resistance levels
respectively. In its OFF state (high resistance) a small leakage current of a few mA still flows

d) Illustrate the steps for PLC installation. 4M

Ans: Steps :
4M

The following parameters should be considered while installing the PLC,

1) Enclosure :
It is a metal or non- metal cabinet to fix the PLC and its supporting devices. It
provides enough space between PLC and other components for air circulation to
maintain temperature between 0 to 55° C. if the temperature exceeds 55°C the
provide cooling fan. Install PLC away from high voltage equipments.
2) Disconnect device:
The enclosure should have power disconnect. So that, when required the PLC can be
worked on with power OFF.
3) MCR:
Master control relay is used to interrupt power to the I/O rack in the event of a
system failure.
4) Isolation transformer:

d) Elaborate ON – OFF controller with suitable example. State significance of neutral zone. 4M

Ans: ON – OFF controller : Explanat

ion : 2M
ON – OFF controller has only two positions either it is fully closed or fully open. This
control element does not operate at any intermediate position, i.e. partly open or partly
closed position. The control system made for controlling such elements is known as on off
control theory. In this control system, when process variable changes and crosses certain Significa
preset level, the output valve of the system is suddenly fully opened and gives 100 % output. nce: 2M
Generally in on off control system, the output causes change in process variable. Hence due
to effect of output, the process variable again starts changing but in reverse direction.
During this change, when process variable crosses certain predetermined level, the output
valve of the system is immediately closed and output is suddenly reduced to 0%.

As there is no output, the process variable again starts changing in its normal direction.
When it crosses the preset level, the output valve of the system is again fully open to give
100% output. This cycle of closing and opening of output valve continues till the said on-off
control system is in operation.

A common example of on-off control is the temperature control in a domestic heating

system. When the temperature is below the thermostat set point the heating system is
switched on and when the temperature is above the set point the heating switches off.

Significance of Neutral zone :

In any practical implementation of the two – position controller, there is an overlap as ep

increases through zero or decreases through zero. In this span, no change in controller
output occurs. It is called Neutral zone.
Fig shows p versus ep for ON-OFF Controller. Until an increasing error changes by Δ ep above
zero, the controller output will not change state. In decreasing it must fall Δ ep below zero
before the controller changes to the 0% rating.

Note: Any other relevant diagram should be considered

Explanation:

i) The combination of proportional control action, derivative control action and integral
control action is called as PID controller action.
ii) The combined action has advantage of the three individual control actions. The
proportional controller stabilizes gain but produces steady state error.
iii) The integral action reduces the steady state error. The derivative action reduces the rate
of change of error.
iv) PID controller is a band pass or band attenuate filter, depending on the values of the
controller parameters.
v) The response characteristics of PID controller is shown in figure. The proportional part of

PLC checks ON or OFF status of each input point connected to the module. This information
is stored in input status file.

Then CPU starts executing user program left to right and top to bottom from the first
instruction to the last. It updates the output status file depending on the program.

In the output scan, data on the output status file is sent to the output module and the
devices are energized or deenergised accordingly.

ON delay timer: This instruction counts time interval when conditions preceding it in the delay
rung are true. Produces an output when accumulated reaches the preset value. timer:3
M
Use Ton instruction to turn an output on or off after the timer has been on for a preset time
interval. The Ton instruction begins to count time base intervals when the rung conditions
become true.

The accumulated value is reset when the rung condition go false regardless of whether the
timer has timed out

Instruction parameter- Timer TON is 3 word element.

(ii) OFF delay timer : This instruction counts time interval when conditions preceding it in the
rung are false. Produces low output when accumulated value reaches the preset value. Use
Toff instruction to turn an output on or off after the timer has been off for a preset timer has
been off for a preset time intervals. The Toff instruction begins to count time base intervals
when the rung makes a true to false to transition.

As long as rung conditions remain false the timer increments its accumulated value each
scan until it reaches the preset value. The accumulated value is reset when the rung
conditions go true regardless of whether the timer has timed out. Instruction parameter-
Timer TOFF is 3 word element.
