ABBREVIATION
A programmable logic controller (PLC) or programmable controller is a digital computer used for
automation of electromechanical processes, such as control of machinery on factory assembly lines,
amusement rides, or light fixtures.
PLCs are used in many industries and machines. Unlike general-purpose computers, the PLC is designed for
multiple inputs and output arrangements, extended temperature ranges, immunity to electrical noise, and
resistance to vibration and impact. Programs to control machine operation are typically stored in battery-
backed or non-volatile memory.
A PLC is an example of a hard real time system since output results must be produced in response to input
conditions within a bounded time, otherwise unintended operation will result.
They were first developed in the automobile industry to provide flexible, ruggedized and easily
programmable controllers to replace hard-wired relays and timers. In 1968 GM Hydra-Mastic (the
automatic transmission division of General Motors) issued a request for proposals for an electronic
replacement for hard-wired relay systems based on a white paper written by engineer Edward R. Clark.
First PLC was developed in Modicon, which stood For Modular Digital Controller. One of the people who
worked on that project was Dick Morley, who is considered to be the "father" of the PLC.
Early PLCs were designed to replace relay logic systems. These PLCs were programmed in "ladder logic",
which strongly resembles a schematic diagram of relay logic.
Modern PLC systems today adhere to the IEC 61131/3 control systems programming standard that defines
5 languages: Ladder Diagram (LD), Structured Text (ST), Function Block Diagram (FBD), Instruction List
(IL) and Sequential Flow Chart (SFC).
TRAINING OVERVIEW
FUNCTION OF PLC:-
BASIC ELEMENTS:-
Input Module:-
Type of input module depends on type of input device i.e. DI, AI. Analog signals represent machine or
process condition as a range of voltage and current. Function of input circuitry is to convert the signals
provided by the switch and sensors into logic circuits that can be used by CPU.
CPU evaluates the state of the input and other variables as it executes a stored program.CPU then sends
signals to update the status of output(PIQ) It consists of Microprocessor for implementing the logic and
controlling the communication among the modules.
Output Module:-
Output modules convert control signals from the CPU into digital or analog values that can be used to
control various output devices.
Programming Device: - It is used to enter or change the PLC user program or to monitor and change
stored values.
Operator Interface: - It is a device used in addition to simplify monitoring of the machine and process.
Advantage of PLC:-
The control program can be watched in real time as it executes to find and fix problem.
Communication Capability: - A PLC can communicate with other controllers or computer equipment.
PLC Scan:- Once the program is downloaded in the CPU, the PLC is switched to ‘RUN’ mode and the PLC
executes the application program. The CPU regularly reads the status of the input devices and sends data to
the output devices as per the logical results after execution of the program.
PLC Configuration
1. No more than eight modules (SM, FM, and CP) may be installed to the right of the CPU.
2. All modules that you have installed on one rack may not exceed a total current consumption
of 1.2 A (312 IFM: 0.8 A) from the S7-300 backplane bus.
Interface module).It is always on the left before the first signal module. b) No more than 8 modules
(SM, FM, and CP) are permitted per rack.
c) The number of modules (SM, FM, and CP) is limited by the permitted current consumption on the S7-
300 backplane bus. The total current consumption may not exceed 1.2 A per row (if 312 FM CPU is used: 0.8
A).
Addressing
Slot Based Addressing: - Slot-based addressing is the default setting, that is, STEP-7 assigns each slot
number a defined module start address.
Absolute Addressing: - With user-defined addressing, you can assign any module address from the
address area managed by the CPU. For the S7-300, user-defined addressing is only possible with CPUs 315,
315-2 DP, 316-2 DP, and 318-2 DP.
Addressing Of Digital Module:-The address of an input or output of a digital module consists of a byte
address and a bit address.
Insert the first analog module into slot 4 so that it has default start address 256.
The start address of every subsequent analog module will be incremented by 16 per slot An analog
I/O module has the same start addresses for its input and output.
INPUT/OUTPUT HARDWARE
Contractor :- A contactor is an electrically controlled switch used for switching an electrical power circuit.
The contacts are the current carrying part of the contactor. This includes power contacts, auxiliary
contacts, and contact springs.
The electromagnet (or "coil") provides the driving force to close the contacts .
The enclosure is a frame housing the contacts and the electromagnet. Enclosures are made of
insulating materials such as Bakelite, Nylon 6, and thermosetting plastics to protect and insulate the
contacts and to provide some measure of protection against personnel touching the contacts.
Relay: - Relay is an electrical switch, which is turn ON /OFF under another switch.
I) Controlling type: - Controlling Relay takes lower amount of current & voltage and control higher
amount of current & voltage.
II) Protection type: - Protection Relay detects the isolated faults in the generation, transmission &
distribution system. Protection Relay is two types –
b. Microprocessor.
Toggle Switch: - A Toggle Switch is an electromechanical switch which uses a lever or baton as an actuator.
Toggle switches are available in many sizes and configurations and offer a wide range of uses. They are
popular for their ease of operation and generally offer 1-3 positions to open or close a circuit.
Limit Switch: - A limit switch is an electromechanical device that consists of an actuator, mechanically
linked to a set of contacts. When an object comes into contact with the actuator, the device operates the
Benefits:-
Limitation:-
ii. Must make direct contact with target. iii. Moving mechanical parts will wear out.
Timer:- A Timer is a device that provides time delay between two events or process.
Mechanical Timer: - It is a mechanical switching device. It’s max time range 0.1sec –30sec. It has no
coil part only having contact part. Contact part changes its state by mechanical force.
Electrical Timer:-It is an electrical switching device. It’s timer max range 0.1sec – 30min. It has one
relay coil, two contact parts, and two NO & two NC part. Contact part changes its state by the help of
electricity.
Types of PLC Timer :-
I) Pulse Timer.
II) Extended Pulse Timer.
III) On-delay Timer.
IV) Retentive On-delay Timer.
V) Off-delay Timer.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
During my training with the ACADEMY OF SKILL DEVELOPMENT under IICHE, I was able to
Put these skills in practise and to complete AUTOMATIC BOTTLE FILLING SYSTEM and
4 WAY TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEM using PLC in projects.
Learn the importance of automation in industries and got familiar with the challenging
tasks ahead.
Understand how difficult and challenging the learning process via online platforms
is during the pandemic.
CONCLUSION
It was a wonderful learning experience from Automatic skill development for two months
through online lectures. On the whole, this internship was a useful experience. I have gained
new knowledge, skill and met many new people. I achieved several of my learning goals. I
learned two of the programming languages PLC and SCADA used in the automation in
industries. I hope this experience will surely help me in my future and also in shaping my
career. The internship is also good to find out what my strength and weakness are. This
helped me to what skill and knowledge I have to improve in coming time. At last internship
has given me a new rights and motivation to pursue a carrier in industrial background.
