PLC Programming & Experiment no.1, “Boolean Expression”.


Objectives:
 The PLC, like all digital equipment, operates on the binary principle. These states are 1 and 0. can be
represent ON or OFF, open or closed, true or false, high or low, or any other two conditions.
5  The key to the speed and accuracy of PLC with which binary information can be processed is that there
are only two states, each of which is distinctly different. There is no in‐between state so when
information is processed the outcome is either yes or no.
 The student should learn how to develop and test a PLC ladder program.

Experiment no.2, “Die Stamping Application“.


Objectives:
 Design a system of a master switch is used to start the process and to shut it down.
 Two sensors: an upper limit switch that indicates when the piston is fully retracted, and a lower limit
switch that indicates when the piston is fully extended.
6  When the master switch is turn on the piston reciprocates between the extended and retracted
positions.
 When the master switch is turned off, the piston returns to the retracted position and all solenoids are
off.
 The student should learn how to develop and test a PLC ladder program.

Experiment no.3, “Continuous filling operation”.
Objectives:
 The student should learn how to develop and test a PLC ladder program.
 This process requires that boxes moving on a conveyor be automatically positioned and filled.
 The sequence of operation for the continuous filling operation is as follows:
 Start/stop the conveyor when the start/stop button is momentarily pressed.
7  Energize the run/standby status light when the process is operating/stopped.
 Stop the conveyor when the right edge of the box is first sensed by the photosensor.
 With the box in position and the conveyor stopped, open the solenoid valve and allow the box to fill.
Filling should stop when the level sensor goes true.
 Energize the full light when the box is full.
 The full light should remain energized until the box is moved clear of the photosensor.

Experiment no.4, “Soft Drink Machine”.


Objectives:
 The student should learn how to develop and test a PLC ladder program.
8  A coin is inserted into the coin slot.
 Once coin was detected, if a drink button is pressed, the correct drink will be dispensed and the coin
kept or
 if the reject button is pressed, the coin will be rejected and no drink will be dispensed.

Building more sophisticated PLC ladder program using Functional blocks


Objectives
9  Basic function blocks.
 Counter function block.
 Timer function blocks.
Experiment no.5, “Sorting Device for Packages”.
10 Objective:
 The student should learn how to develop and test a PLC ladder program.
 Job is travels down a conveyor. Size of the job is identified by the help of job length sensor I/P s (I/P 0
and I/P 1).
 If both the sensor sensed at a time, when job is passed then the job will be treated as big job. Or if
only one sensor is sensed at a time then job will be treated as small job.
 When job is reached to the rotary table, the table should turn either left or right depending upon the
size of job.
 The relevant piston should move the box to the correct conveyor and the box should then continue to
the end of that conveyor.

Experiment no.6, “Product Packaging”.
Objective:
12  The student should learn how to develop and test a PLC ladder program.
 Once the photoelectric sensor detects 10 products, the robot arm will begin to pack up.
 When the action is completed, the robotic arm and the counter will be reset.

Experiment no.7, “Spray”.


Objective:
 Paint spraying system where boxes are fed by gravity through a feeder magazine one at a time
onto a moving conveyor belt.
 Upon the start signal, boxes are pushed towards the conveyor by valve 1. This is a cylinder which
extends and retracts which operates switches S1 and S2 respectively.
 A spraying nozzle paints each box as it passes under the paint spray controlled by valve 2.
13  A sensor (S3) counts each box being sprayed.
 When 6 boxes have been painted the valve 2 shuts off (paint spray) and valve 1 (cylinder) stops
moving boxes onto the conveyor.
 Three seconds later the conveyor stops moving and the hopper with its load moves forward
(valve3) where it is tempted.
 Ten seconds later the hopper returns to the original position.
 The cycle is then complete and waits for a start signal again.

Experiment no.8, “Traffic light”.


Objective:
 Develop the PLC ladder diagram program and test its function for the following problem that
doing an automatic traffic light control:
14  The sequence of the traffic lights is as follows:
 RED 5 seconds later;
 RED & AMBER 5 seconds later
 GREEN 5 seconds delay
 The sequence should be fully automatic and start with the RED 'ON' immediately.

Experiment no.8 , “Shift register”


Objective:
15 A particular example to learn how to applicate Shift register in real world, using a PLC ladder
programming.
