PLC Ladder Logic Report

The report outlines the automation of a batch filling system using a pump and flowmeter to fill a tank to 90% capacity. It details the components used, including a START button, pump output, flow sensor input, and a count-up counter preset to 285 pulses, which indicates when the tank is full. The system was tested manually to determine the pulse count corresponding to the 90% fill level, which informed the counter's preset value.

PLC Ladder Logic Report - LogixPro Batch Simulator

Objective:

To automate a batch filling system using a pump and flowmeter, filling the tank up to 90% capacity

and indicating when the tank is considered full.

Components Used:

START Button (I:0/3)

Manual input to initiate the pump operation.

PUMP 1 (O:2/1)

Output that turns ON the pump to start filling the tank.

FLOW 1 (I:1/5)

Input that receives pulses from a flow sensor, each pulse representing a unit of flow.

Counter (C5:0)

A Count-Up counter used to track flow volume:

- Preset: 285

- Accumulated Value: Increases with every pulse from FLOW 1.

- Done Bit (C5:0/DN): Turns ON when the accumulator reaches 285.

FULL Indicator (O:2/7)

Output that lights up once the tank reaches 90% capacity (based on preset counter value).

Additional Information:

We were required to fill the tank up to 90% capacity. To achieve this, we first ran the system
manually and observed how many pulses were generated by the flow sensor at exactly 90% fill

level. Based on the observation, we determined that 285 pulses correspond to 90% of the tank

volume. This value was then used as the preset for the counter in the PLC program.
