Before going into the article, let us assume some conditions here. APLC has to start a Motor when the Start button is pressed. It has three interlocks which are Motor Vibration High, Overload & Motor Temperature High. if any of the interlock activated then PLC has to stop the motor immediately. hitpsinstrumentationtols.comvple-contols-otox! 229123923, 1113.

AM LG Motor Control Ladder Logie Programming | Motor Control using PL The motor is a three phase, 415V AC powered device. So by default high voltage equipment will be powered from substations or motor control centers (MCC) which are maintained by electrical. So we consider this motor is connected to a simple motor feeder in the substation Generally the motor feeder have inputs from field (local control panel) & PLC also. Which are shown in below figure.

PLC Motor ContalLadéer Logie Programming | Motor Control using PLC Note : the motor feeder may have start, stop, some other trips indications like overload etc... in the motor feeder panel which are not shown in the fig. These are mounted on the motor feeder panel (in addition to LCP). If motor feeder receives start & stop command inputs from PLC then we call them as Remote Start & Remote Stop signals. Similarly if motor feeder receives start & stop command inputs from local control panel (LCP) which is installed in field (near to motor) then we call them as Local Start & Local Stop signals. In common practice, this LCP has emergency stop & Local/Remote selection switch also. The motor feeder also sends a Local/Remote status to PLC. If Local/Remote selection switch is in Local mode then motor feeder will only consider signals from LCP and ignore the commands from PLC. Similarly if Local/Remote Selection switch in Remote Mode then motor feeder will consider signals from Remote i.e, PLC and ignore the signals from LCP. For example : if Local/Remote selection Switch in Remote Mode. If field operator pressed the start push button from the field LCP then motor will not be started as the selection is in remote mode, O° @ hnps:insrumentationtools.comiple-contrle-moter 9229128723, 1113. AM PLC Motor ContalLadéer Logie Programming | Motor Control using PLC Depends on the Local/Remote selection switch status the motor feeder will decides which signals to be consider ie. either PLC or LCP signals. Note : Local/Remote Selection will not be applied for Emergency Stop or Stop Commands either from PLC or LCP. Whatever mode it is, the Stop commands will be accepted by motor feeder and stops the motor immediately. This is a safety concern Also Read : How a 4-20mA Transmitter Works ? Lets see how a PLC controls a motor. Now Local/Remote selection switch is in Remote mode. hitpsinstrumentationtools.comvple-contolsotox! 6229123923, 1113. AM LG Motor Control Ladder Logie Programming | Motor Control using PL ® Here we are sending an Permissive signal ( Start Permissive) to the motor feeder. For starting the motor, the permissive must be healthy otherwise motor feeder will be de-energized or will not start the motor. In PLC, Start permissive will be used as a extra safety & for checking the interlock status. if all the interlocks are healthy then only permissive signal will be sent to motor feeder. Generally we call this as “Start Permissive", as name implies it is only required for starting the motor, after motor started the status of this permissive signal will not be considered by motor feeder (Only required for starting the motor). This is an optional signal. For High capacity motors, start permissive signals will be used, For normal or low capacity motors these are very rarely used, again depends on our applications, industry, requirements etc. co} Lets say all interlocks are healthy, so PLC sends the permissive signal to motor feeder. Now start push button is pressed hnps:insrumentationtools.comiple-contrle-moter 29128723, 1113. AM PLC Motor ContalLadéer Logie Programming | Motor Control using PLC ‘Again it checks for any active trips/interlocks. If there is no interlock or all working normal, then PLC sends a start command to substation where motor feeder is installed. ® In this example we have three interlocks: Motor Vibration High, Motor Temperature High & Overload trip. In generally High capacity motors are equipped with Vibration sensors & temperature sensors In our example we consider vibration signals as fail safe, so default status is normally closed, if high vibration appears then the contact become Normally Open & PLC trips/stops the motor. We have another interlock which is Overload trip, this input is taken from the motor feeder. The temperature sensors signal is normally open and when temperature high then it becomes normally close and PLC trips/Stops the motor. Note: Fail safe or default contact status either NC or NO are depends on our application or logic requirements. Here we are only discussing an example for understanding the concept. hitpsinstrumentationtools.comvple-contolsotox! a29123923, 1113. AM LG Motor Control Ladder Logie Programming | Motor Control using PL Alter receiving the start command from the PLC, motor feeder will be energized and power up the motor. After motor started, the motor feeder will send the Run feedback to the PLC. The run feedback will be displayed on the graphics. In some PLC's or in safety PLC's if the Run feedback is not received in specified time frame ( say within 5 seconds) then PLC automatically sends an Stop signals to the motor feeder. This is a optional feature in normal PLC applications( must in safety PLC's). Say now Vibration High came, then PLC sends a stop command to motor feeder and it immediately stops the motor. The run feedback status also updates accordingly. Example Video : Motor will be started when Level Transmitter will be High & again it will stopped at Level Transmitter Low Start Permissive signal not used in the below video. hitpsinstrumentationtools.comvple-contolsotox! 9229123923, 1113.

The motor runs if pressure is low and stops if there is overload and pressure is above limit. A signal lamp is required to be switched on if a pump is running and the pressure is satisfactory or the lamp test switch is closed.
