SPH2462___TUTORIAL-3 LD PROGRAMMING WITH TIMERS
Draw a ladder diagram which runs a motor in forward direction for 10 seconds and then
reverse direction for 10 seconds and a stop switch to stop at any time instant.
You havea machine that eycles ON and OFF during its operation. tis desired to keep a record
of its total run for maintenance purposes. What kind of timer should be used
au.
2. i)
Write a ladder logic program that will turn on a light, PL for 15s after a switch $1 has been
turned ON.
Q3. Study the ON-Delay timer ladder logic in Fig, Q3 and for each of the conditions given,
determine whether the timer is RESET, TIMING, TIMED-OUT or the conditions stated are NOT
POSSIBLE
a) The input is TRUE and EN is 1, TTis Land DNis 0
b)_ The input is TRUE and EN is 1, TTis 1 and DN is 1
€) The input is FALSE and EN is 0, TT isO and DN is O
4) The input is TRUE and EN is 1, TTis and DN is 1

Q4. Apume to be used to fill two storage tanks. The pump is manually started by the operator
from a start/stop station. When the first tank is after 5 seconds and the second tank is full after
another 5 seconds.
‘The control logic must be able to automatically stop flow to the first tank and direct flow to the
second tank using electric solenoid valves, When the second tank is full, the pump must shut
down automatically. Indicator lamps are to be included to signal when each tank is full and
when the process is completed. :
a) Draw a sketch of the process,
b) —_Prepare a typical PLC program for this control process,
QS. When the lights are turned off ina ‘building, an exit door light is to remain ON for an additional 2
minutes and after the parking lot lights are to remain for an additional 3 minutes after the door
light goes off. Write a ladder diagram program to implement this process.
Q6. Study the Ladder diagram in Fig.QS and answer the following questions:
i) What is the purpose of connecting the two timers?
How much time must elapse before the output PL is energized?
What two conditions must be satisfied before timer T4-2 start timing?
Assume that output PL is ON and power to the system is lost. When power is restored,
What will the status of the output be?v)
vi)
When input PB2 is ON, what will happen?
When input PB1 is ON, how much accumulated time must elapse before rung 3 will be
true?

Normally open Start and normally closed stop push buttons are used to start and stop the
process.
When the start button is presses, solenoid A energizes to start filling the tank
AAs the tank fills, the empty level sensor switch closes
When the tankis full, the full level sensor switch closes
Solenoid A is de-energized to stop filing the tank.
The agitator motor starts automatically and runs for 3 minutes to mix the liquid.
When the motor stops, solenoid B is energized to empty the tank.
When the tank is completely empty, the empty sensor switch opens to de-energize the
solenoid B and close the valve.
The Start button is pressed again to repeat the process
