Problem #1:
Program Summary: State the question, or problem the lab exercise is addressing. What is the
purpose of the program. Define customer requirements.
Program Output: What control output (motors, lights, etc.) are being controlled by the program?
Program Logic: Explain how the program logic works. How does the program accomplish its
objective? Explain the digital logic used.
Program Simulation: A screen shot of the program ladder logic. Clearly explain the
relationship between each rung and its effect on the logic.
Figure 1.1: Ladder Logic Program
Program Results: Screen shots of your program running for various sensor inputs and outputs.
Auxiliary tables and Figures: screen shots of other tables and figures from the software to
document the input and output module configuration and specific logic. For example,
Figure 7.2: Input/Output Configuration
The motor starter coil is energized when the pressure switch and temperature switch are both
closed, or when the manual pushbutton is closed. The appropriate output terminals are
energized by using the appropriate logical contacts (XIC or XIO) and input states (open or
closed). The input and output binary numbers are converted to decimal values using the radix
function in the data table menu.
