PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC

CONTROLLER
PLC
 A PLC monitors inputs, makes decision based on
its PROGRAM, control OUTPUTS to automate
a process or machine.
 PLC consists of input modules, CPU, o/p
modules.
 An i/p accepts a variety of digital or analog
signals from various field devices & converts
them into a logic signal that can be used by the
CPU.
PLC
 The CPU makes the decisions & executes control
instructions based on program instruction in memory.
 Output modules convert control instructions from CPU
into a digital or analog signal that can be used to control
various field devices.

 Example for PLC output and PLC Input

INPUT & OUTPUT ELEMENTS
 I/P Elements :
Push buttons
Limit switches
Proximity
Relay contacts etc.,

 O/P Elements :
Solenoid Valves
Relay coils
Indicator Lamp etc.,

 FANUC LADDER
 Fanuc ladder is the program software used with
the Fanuc PLC to create the PLC operating
program.
 Ladder is a Sequential type program which control
machine tools and other systems.
 Ladder program is produced using PMC
instruction
 Fapt ladder consists of a number of instructions
that must be arranged in a logical order to obtain
the desired PLC operation.
PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROL
 Fanuc Ladder
 Sequence of the ladder diagram is converted into
machine language instruction which is done by
PMC programmer and stored into the memory.
 PMC’s CPU executes these instructions
sequentially.
PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROL
 AND and OR operation
PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROL
 The most commonly used programming functions
in Ladder are normally open (NO) contact,
normally closed (NC) contact and coils.
 The normally open contact (NO) is true (closed)
when the input or output status bit controlling
the contact is 1.
 The normally closed contact (NC) is true (closed)
when the input or output status bit controlling
the contact is 0.
 Coils represent relays that are energized when
power flows to them. When a coil is energized, it
causes a corresponding output to turn on by
changing the state of the status bit controlling
that output to 1.
PLC SCAN
PLC SCAN consists of:
 INPUT PROCESSING.
 PROGRAMMING PROCESSING.
 OUTPUT PROCESSING

 Basically there are 3 levels of sequence program.

Level-1 has highest priority. Its maximum
scanning time is 8ms. All ‘Emergency Stop’
signals and major interrupts are handled in this
level.
 Level-2 has relatively lower priority. Its scanning
time is remaining part of 1st level scanning.
