LAB TASKS:
Exercise 1:
Consider a system in which we have a switch to turn on light and fan. Light goes on when switch is pressed 5 times
and fan when pressed 10 times. Also Reset switch.

Exercise 2:
a) From the Simulations Menu at the top of the screen, Select the Traffic Light Simulation.
Using your knowledge of timers and comparison instruction, develop a ladder logic
program which will sequence a set of green, amber and red lights in the following manner.
Sequence of Operation:
1. Light O:2/00 (Red) = 12 seconds ON
2. Light O:2/02 (Green) = 8 seconds ON
3. Light O:2/01 (Amber) = 4 seconds ON
4. The sequence now repeats with Red = ON.
b) Modify the part a) so that the 3 lights which represent the other traffic direction are also
controlled.
c) Modify again so that there is a 1 second period when both directions will have their RED
lights illuminated. Note that there are actually 2 such overlaps that need to be accounted
for. The timing diagram below shows the six discrete timing intervals required to
accomplish the desired sequence of operation.
Conclusion:
