PLC Assignment

The document outlines three assignments related to automation processes: filling two tanks with water using a pump, making tea with a heating tank, and implementing a 'Push to On Push to Off' logic for a lamp. Each assignment requires listing inputs and outputs, drawing ladder diagrams, and explaining the operation of the programs. The focus is on understanding the control logic and automation in these scenarios.

Assignment 1

Question 1: Two Tanks Filling

In the next figure, we want to fill the two tanks with water using a pump. The
pump is operated manually by a push-button “Start”. When the first tank
becomes full, the circuit should automatically start to fill the second tank by
closing the first valve, and opening the second valve, and when the second tank is
full, the pump disconnects automatically and a “sign lamp” is turned on to show
that 2nd tank is full.

Required:
- List the inputs and outputs used in the solution.
- Draw the ladder diagram.
- Explain the answer showing how the program will operate.
Question 2: Making Tea

The next figure represents the process of making tea every day in the morning
for seven days (water in the tank is enough for 7 days only).

Procedure:
➢ When pressing the ‘start’ button, valve 1 (V1) opens , so the water passes
through the valve to the heating tank.
➢ When the water level reaches the float switch (FS), the valve should
close, and heating must begin (E).
➢ When the temperature reaches the required level the thermostat (TH)
disconnects
the heater and opens valve 2 (V2) for 10 seconds then the alarm bell is
activated (as a sign that the tea jug is filled now with hot water).

Required:
- List the inputs and outputs used in the solution.
- Draw the ladder diagram.
- Explain the answer showing how the program will operate.
Question 3: Push to On Push to Off

There will be a single Push Button Input (X) , and one Output Lamp (Y).
➢ When user press Push button for 1st time output will be ON .
➢ when user Presses Push Button for 2nd time output will be OFF.
➢ This is also called as "Push to On Push to Off " logic.
We Can Break Sequence Like This :
➢ 1) PB Pressed (X) ==> Output (Y)On
➢ 2) PB Released (X)==> Output (Y) Latched
➢ 3) PB Pressed (X)==> Output (Y )Off
➢ 4) PB Released (X)==> Output (Y) Off

Required:
- Solve this problem using two methods.
- Draw the ladder diagram for the 2 solutions.
- Explain the answers showing how the programs will operate.
