CMP - Material Mixing Machine

Control Purpose:
z

There are materials A and B in the mixing machine. Enabling the indicator(Y0) when the
Power On switch is pressed. Controlling the material A outlet (Y1) to start feeding and
starting the agitator Y3 by pressing the button Process(X1). When material A feeding
process reaches the set time D0, enabling the material B outlet(Y2) to start feeding while the
agitator keeps working. Stopping all processes when the whole mixing time(D1) is achieved.

Program Description:
z

When the Power On switch is pressed, X0 = ON. The Power On indicator Y0 will be ON. .

When Process button is pressed, X1 = ON. SET Y3 instruction will be executed so as to

execute TMR instruction. Timer T0 will be activated in this case.

At the same time, CMP instruction will also be executed. When the PV(present value) in T0
is smaller than the SV(set value) in D0, M0 = ON. Therefore, M0 will be ON to turn on coil Y1.
Material A feeding process will start. However, when the PV in T0 the SV in D0, M1 and
M2 will be ON but M0 will be OFF. Y2 will be ON in this case and the material B feeding
process will start while process A is stopped.

When the PV in T0 reaches the SV in D1, the NO(Normally Open) contact T0 will be ON to
execute ZRST and RST instructions. Y1, Y2, Y3 and T0 will be reset, and the agitator will
stop until the Process button is pressed again.

ZCP - Water Level Alarm Control

Control Purpose:
z

Controlling the water level in water tower by using analogue level measuring instrument.
When the water is at normal level, enable the normal level indicator. When there is only 25%

water volume in the water tower, start the feed water valve. When the level reaches the upper
bound, enable the alarm and stop the feed water valve.
Devices:

Function

Y0

Feed water valve. ( The lower bound value = K1000)

Y1

Y2

Upper limit alarm. ( The upper bound value = K4000)

Program Description:
z

The water level is measured by analogue level measuring instrument(Voltage output of

0~10V). Delta DVP04AD extension module converts the measured value into the value of
K0~K4000 and judges the water level by the value saved in D0

When the value in D0 < K1000(25% water volume), M0 = ON to set the feed water valve Y0.

When the value is between K1000~K4000, M1 = ON to set the normal level indicator Y1.

When the value > K4000(the level reaches the upper bound), M2 = ON to set the upper limit
alarm Y2. At the same time, Y0 will be reset, and the feed water valve will be shut down.

For the application of API78 FROM instruction, please refer to DVP-PLC Application
Manual Programming.
