OBJECTIVES

1. To familiarize the design process using PLC.

2. To understand the operation of the timer in traffic light control system.

LIST OF EQUIPMENTS
1. OMRON PLC CPM1A – 1 unit
2. 24 V lamp (Red, Yellow, Green) – 3 unit
3. Push button (ON/OFF) – 2 unit

THEORY

When Push Button ‘ON’ is pressed, green light will be switched on within a preset time for five
second. After five second, the green light will be switched off and yellow light will be switched
on, and after five second, red light will be switched on and yellow light will switched off. This
process will repeat itself until Push Button ‘OFF’ is pressed to stop the operation.

DISCUSSION
 Firstly, we need to design a plc ladder diagram based on the figure given. The ladder
diagram had to make sure that the green lamp lights up and follow by yellow and red. The
normally open switches must be set parallel with each other for the bulb to light up when one of
the switch is press.

Then, a timer must be set for the green lamp to turn off when the yellow lamp is in on
condition. The same steps will be repeat again for the yellow and red lamps. On the designed
ladder diagram, mnemonic code must be set correctly. This step must be done accurately to make
sure it did not interrupt each other and can be run smoothly.

The timer on the yellow light line must be set with normally close on the green light line.
So when the time set is finished, the switch will open automatically. This operation will go on
continuously until the off button is pressed.

CONCLUSION

As conclusion, this lab is done to familiarize the student with the design process using
PLC. It let us to understand the operation of the timer in traffic light control system on the road.
Lastly, we can learnt how to build up the ladder diagram and read it correctly with the
menemonic codes.
