Solution of Sheet 7

The document outlines the main sections of PLC memory, distinguishing between system memory (inaccessible) and application memory (accessible). It discusses two types of memory: volatile and nonvolatile, along with true/false statements about memory characteristics. Additionally, it provides a calculation for the memory size needed for a specific program involving counters and coils.

Solution of Sheet 7

1. What are the main sections of the memory of PLC?


1) The system memory (inaccessible)
i. Executive Memory
ii. Scratch Pad
2) The application memory (accessible)
i. Data Table
ii. User Program

2. What are the main two types of memory?


1) Volatile memory: need to be powered to retain stored contents.
In case of power loss all stored contents are lost. This type of
memory is used with backup battery to be powered to retaining
the stored contents.
2) Nonvolatile memory: keeps the stored contents even in the
complete absence of power.

3. State whether the following statements are True or False. Justify your
answer:
1) Application memory is accessible by the users.
True.

2) ROM and RAM are volatile.


False: RAM is volatile.

3) EPROM is non-volatile memory.

False: EPROM is non-volatile.

4) Nonvolatile memory is not immune to alteration due to electrical


noise.
False: nonvolatile memory is immune to alteration due to electrical
noise or loss of power.

5) Executive programs are often stored in RAM.


False: in nonvolatile memory like; ROM or EPROM

6) Data stored in RAM cannot be altered.


False: Data stores in RAM van be altered easily.

7) Data stored in RAM is lost in case of power loss.


True.

8) PROM is nonvolatile memory.


True.

9) PROM can be erased using UV.


False: EPROM can be erased by UV.

10) EAROM can be erased electrically.


True.

4. Using the following table calculate the memory size needed for the
following program.

Solution:

There are 4 counter C1, C2, C3, C4, and C5.

Coil of such as Upctr and Rstctr, which are used to trigger the counter to count
up and reset the counter, respectively are considered as normal coils that need
1 word.

There for the memory of the ladder program is:

5 × 3(𝑐𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑠) + 13 × 1 (𝑐𝑜𝑖𝑙𝑠) + 14 × 1 (𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑠) = 42 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑠
