Part B: Experiments of PLC Automation
Dear Students
There are many open-source simulation software’s available to execute PLC program Ladder Diagram mode.
Among these software LogixPro is one of the best platforms to learn the PLC Logic along with built in
simulations.
LogixPro is the ideal tool for learning the fundamentals of ladder logic programming. The look, feel and
operation of LogixPro's ladder rung editor so closely mimics Rockwell's world renown PLC editing software,
that many need a second look to be sure whose editor they're using. Of course, the give-away is the window
containing one of our ProSim-II Simulations. This is where LogixPro really out-shines typical PLC training
setups employing a PLC connected to a handful of switches and lights. By graphically simulating process
equipment such as conveyors, bottling plants, etc. in software, the synchronous and interactive nature of real
industrial processes, presents the student with a far more realistic and challenging programming experience.

a) Starting from two different locations (OR Function)
b) Stopping from one position (NOT Function)
c) Two hand operation (AND Function)

Problem Description
Implementation of various Logic Gates AND, OR, NOT, NOR, NAND, EX-OR and EX-NOR in PLC using
Ladder Diagram programming language.
Symbol of Logic Gates
Problem Solution
PLC program to implement various logic gates, along with program explanation and run time test cases.
AND
• By connecting Normally Open / XIC contacts in series, AND gate can be implemented.
• When both inputs are set to 1, then and then only output goes high.
OR
• By connecting Normally Open / XIC contacts in parallel, OR Gate can be implemented.

• When either input is set to high, output goes high.
NOT
• By using just one Normally Closed / XIO contact, NOT Logic Gate can be implemented.
• Inverted state of input is obtained as an output.
NOR
• By connecting Normally Closed / XIO contacts in series, NOR Logic Gate can be implemented.
• If both inputs are Reset to 0, output goes High otherwise remains in Low state.
• Or by inverting output of a OR Gate, that is by using output of OR Gate as an input of NOT Gate,
NOR Gate can be implemented.
NAND
• By connecting Normally Closed contacts in parallel to each other, NAND Gate can be implemented.
• Or by simply inverting output of AND gate, NAND Gate can be implemented.
EX-OR
• By connecting XIC and XIO in series with parallel to XIO and XIC in series as shown in diagram
above, EX-OR Gate can be implemented.
• When both inputs are identical, output is 0. Output is high when A ≠ B.
• Note here that XIC of first series contacts and XIO of second series contacts must be given same
address and similarly for the other two.
EX-NOR
• By connecting two XIO contacts in series with parallel to two XIC contacts in series, EX-NOR gate
can be implemented.
• When both inputs are identical A=B=O or A=B=1, output goes high.
• It implies same here as in EX-OR gate that address must be given same.
• By inverting output of EX-OR gate, implementation of EX-NOR can be accomplished.

Ladder Diagram
Experiment Number 03: Develop and test the ladder program for interlocking two motors, using PLC simulation
software.
Problem Description
Let there be 2 Motors connected through charge coil, when one Motor is switched ON the second Motor should be
OFF and when second Motor is ON the First Motor should be OFF
Ladder Diagram:
Experiment Number 04: Develop and test the ladder program of the Alarm system for the following conditions: If one
input is ON- nothing happens, if any two inputs are ON- a red light turns ON, if any three inputs are ON- a Hooter/Alarm
turns ON, using PLC simulation software.
Problem Description
- If one input is ON nothing happens.

- If any two inputs are ON, a red light goes ON.
- If any three inputs are ON, an alarm sirens sound.
- If all are ON, the fire department is notified.
• Execute the Ladder
Experiment Number 05: Develop and test ladder Program to control automatic washing machine, using PLC
Problem Description
Washing Machine need minimum 3 main working steps and the overall work should start when the Washing Machine
after filling cloths has to be closed
The 3 steps are:
• Fill Cold water when the Machine is loaded and the door is closed
• Run the washing machine motor and cold-water inlet valve should be closed
• Motor and Inlet valve should be closed and Drain valve to be opened
• An alert signal to be given when the work is complete
Ladder Diagram
Experiment Number 06: Double acting cylinder is used to perform machining operations. Pneumatic cylinder is
advanced by pressing two push buttons simultaneously. If any one of the push buttons is released, cylinder comes back
to start position. Draw the pneumatic circuit, PLC wiring diagram and ladder diagram to implement this task.
