INTERNAL UTILITY RELAYS

(IUR’s)
Objective:
To understand the operation of Internal Utility Relays and simulate the given tasks in Allen Bradley PLC.

Internal Utility Relays:

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.

Lab Tasks:

Exercise 1:
Implement Binary addition of two numbers A and B each with of 2 bits, i.e. A=A1A0 B=B1B0 with
Cin = 0.

Exercise 3:
An automatic stamp system shown in Figure 2 works as follows:

 When start switch is turned on, system gets ready to run. When the operator puts a box at the
beginning of the conveyor (on LS1) the motor runs and conveyor move.

 Upon reaching the mid-point of the conveyor (on LS2) the conveyor motor stops.
 Then the stamp comes down and puts the stamp on the box.

 When this process is finished, the stamp goes up and conveyor moves again to the other end of
the conveyor.

 After box reaches to end of the conveyor (on LS3), the motor stops.

 The system waits for the box to get and another box to be placed at the beginning of the
conveyor. If start switch is turned off, the system cannot run even if there is a box on conveyor.

Conclusion:
This highlights the key features of Internal Utility Relays (IUR’s) used in PLC programming. The basic
function of an IUR is to transfer the output of a logic instruction to the input of another logical instruction
to compute the desired output.
This lab covered some of the basic instructions in which IUR’s play their role. Also how we can
implement and use these instructions in real life application. Such as automatic stamp system.
