No
Q1 a Draw the ladder diagram for the temperature 09 CO3 5 1,2,3,4, 12 2,3
ON – OFF control with a dead-band. The event
sequence is as follows:
• Start PB will start the process
• Stop PB will stop the process.
Water in the tank is heated with the steam. The
temperature of water is measured at the outlet.
It is compared with the set point (SP = 50
degree Celsius). Dead-band of 2-degree Celsius
is considered. If the temperature is below 49,
valve should be opened. If the temperature is
above 51 degrees Celsius, valve should be
closed.
b Explain the following instructions 09 CO3 2 1,2,3,4 1
1. MVM
2. SCP
3. MCR
OR
Q2 a Explain the limit instruction. 09 CO3 5 1,2,3,4 2,3
Also Draw the ladder diagram for the following
control application
Start PB will start the process
Stop PB will stop the process.
Take input from flow transmitter which is
transmitting in the range of 4-20 mA for the
range of 0-500 LPH.
If the flow is in the range of 400-420 LPH, then
open valve A and if it is the range of 421-440
LPH, then open valve B.
