PLC Motor Operation Based On Time Cycle Sequence

This document describes a PLC program to control the operation of 3 motors on a time cycle sequence. The program uses a main timer set to 30 seconds that controls when each motor turns on for 15 seconds according to a sequence table. When the start input is pressed, the timer begins and each motor will operate for 15 seconds in a repeating sequence until the stop input is pressed.

PLC Motor Operation based on Time Cycle Sequence

This is PLC Program for motor operation based on time cycle.

Implement the logic in PLC for motors operation based on time cycle using ladder diagram language.

Problem Diagram

Problem Solution

 Total 3 motors are used in this logic. Each motor should run for a total of 15 seconds
duration.
 For the first 5 sec. time duration the previous motor should also run along with the
first motor. For next 5 sec. first motor should run alone and then second motor should
be ON for next 15 sec.
 The ON/OFF sequence of all three motors should be as per table given below. The
sequence should continue till start input is present. When start input is switched OFF
the sequence should stop

PLC Program for motors operation based on time cycle


Program Description
For this application we used S7-300 PLC and TIA portal software for programming.

Network 1 :-

Cycle can be started by pressing START PB (I0.0) and can be stopped by pressing STOP PB
(I0.1).M0.0 is cycle ON bit.

Network 2 :-

When cycle is ON, Main timer of 30s will start. Timer will turn OFF automatically after 30
sec by its own output (DB3.DBX6.0) or we can use relay coil (M10.0).

Network 3 :-

If main actual time is less or equal than 15sec, motor 1 (Q0.0) will remain ON.

Network 4 :-

If actual time is greater or equal than 10 sec and less or equal than 25sec, motor 2 (Q0.1) will
remain ON.

If actual time is either less or equal 5sec or between 20sec and 30ses, motor 3 (Q0.2) will
remain ON

Note :- Above application may be different from actual application. This example is only for
explanation purpose only. We can implement this logic in other PLC also. This is simple
concept of motor operation on given time cycle, we can use this concept in other examples
also.

All parameters considered in example are for explanation purpose only, parameters may be
different in actual applications. Also all interlocks are not considered in the application.
