Program Description
RUNG000 again here is to create Master Start and Stop coil with address O:2/4.
<="" li="">
RUNG002 comprises Timer0 T4:0 with 15secs of Time Delay which is used to de-energize O:2/0 output0
after 15secs.
When Master Start I:1/0 is momentarily pressed, output master coil O:4/4 is latched energizing the Output0
O:4/0 and activating Timer0.
When Timer counts upto 15secs, Timer Done bit goes high turning off the Output0 and energizing Output1
O:2/1.
This process gets repeated till the end.
All the timers have the same preset value here so all the outputs remain ON for 15secs.
To repeat this entire system again automatically, all the timers must be reset when Timer3 is done counting
and generates T4:3/DN bit as shown in diagram below (RUNG009 of main program).
Runtime Test Cases
First 15secs after Start is pressed
After 15secs
After 30secs
After 45secs
PLC Program to Implement an Automatic Car-Wash Process
This is a PLC Program to Implement an Automatic Car-Wash Process.
Problem Description
When a Car enters the hall, a certain sequence is to be followed automatically. Steps are, 1) Soaping, 2)
Washing, 3) Rinsing and 4) Drying. Implement this process sequence in PLC using Ladder Diagram
programming language.
Problem Solution
To detect the car automatically, load cells can be used, or any other sensor such as Infrared Sensor can
also be used.
Soaping, Washing, Rinsing and Drying are performed for a particular time, hence to generate time delay for
these outputs become mandatory.
To operate this process, for soaping, washing, and drying, four different timers are used.
IR sensor detects everything whatever restricts the signal but in load cell, particular Low Level and High
Level can be set to detect heavily weighted cars only. Load Cell can be here more effective here than IR
sensors.
