- 5. Types of control • Temporal -- control based in time • State -- control based in state level • Hybrid – both temporal and state
- 6. Objectives • To define the basic components of a PLC • To apply PLC based control to a manufacturing system • To be identify instrumentation required to implement a PLC control system • To program a PLC • To implement a PLC control program and hardware
- 7. PURPOSE OF Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) • Initially designed to replace relay logic boards – Sequence device actuation – Coordinate activities • Accepts input from a series of switches • Sends output to devices or relays
- 8. FUNCTIONS OF CONTROLLERS • 1) on-off control, • 2) sequential control, • 3) feedback control, and • 4) motion control.
- 9. CONTROL DEVICES 1) mechanical control - cam, governor, etc., 2) pneumatic control - compressed air, valves, etc. 3) electromechanical control - switches, relays, a timer, counters, etc, 4) electronics control - similar to electromechanical control, except uses electronic switches. 5) computer control.
- 12. What devices does a PLC interact with? • INPUT RELAYS-(contacts)These are connected to the outside world. They physically exist and receive signals from switches, sensors, etc. Typically they are not relays but rather they are transistors. • INTERNAL UTILITY RELAYS-(contacts) These do not receive signals from the outside world nor do they physically exist. They are simulated relays and are what enables a PLC to eliminate external relays. There are also some special relays that are dedicated to performing only one task. Some are always on while some are always off. Some are on only once during power-on and are typically used for initializing data that was stored. • COUNTERS-These again do not physically exist. They are simulated counters and they can be programmed to count pulses. Typically these counters can count up, down or both up and down. Since they are simulated they are limited in their counting speed. Some manufacturers also include high-speed counters that are hardware based. We can think of these as physically existing. Most times these counters can count up, down or up and down.
- 13. What devices does a PLC interact with? Continued • TIMERS-These also do not physically exist. They come in many varieties and increments. The most common type is an on-delay type. Others include off-delay and both retentive and non-retentive types. Increments vary from 1ms through 1s. • OUTPUT RELAYS-(coils)These are connected to the outside world. They physically exist and send on/off signals to solenoids, lights, etc. They can be transistors, relays, or triacs depending upon the model chosen. • DATA STORAGE-Typically there are registers assigned to simply store data. They are usually used as temporary storage for math or data manipulation. They can also typically be used to store data when power is removed from the PLC. Upon power-up they will still have the same contents as before power was removed. Very convenient and necessary!!

AN EXAMPLE OF RELAY LOGIC L1 LS1 PB1 LS2 R1 R1 R1 TIMER R2 PR=5 For process control, it is desired to have the process start (by turning on a motor) five seconds after a part touches a limit switch. The process is terminated automatically when the finished part touches a second limit switch. An emergency switch will stop the process any time when it is pushed. LS1 PB1 LS2 R1 TIMER 5 Motor R2

- 27. SCA N begin Input Output Resolve logic Idle A PLC resolves the logic of a ladder diagram (program) rung by rung, from the top to the bottom. Usually, all the outputs are updated based on the status of the internal registers. Then the input states are checked and the corresponding input registers are updated. Only after the I/Os have been resolved, is the program then executed. This process is run in a endless cycle. The time it takes to finish one cycle is called the scan time. Scan cycle

AND and OR are logic operators. ) Do not confuse the internal relay and program with the external switch and relay. Internal symbols are used for programming. External devices provide actual interface.
