Tutorial 03 PLC

This document describes a conveyor system used to transport products between a manufacturing unit and a store. It has push buttons and an emergency stop button to control the conveyor's movement. The conveyor moves products forward when a start button is pressed and backward when empty to return to the manufacturing unit. The document asks questions about connecting input and output devices to a PLC to automate the conveyor system.

TUTORIAL 03: PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLERS

THEME: Transportation of goods.


1. Description:
The below platform is designed for transportation of products from the manufacturing unit to the store.
This is achieved by the means of a moving carpet animated by a motor.

2. Functioning:
Initially, the emergency button is closed, the loaded conveyor is placed at the manufacturing unit (Sm). An
action upon one of the following push buttons S1 (or S2), provokes the following actions:

- Displacement of the conveyor towards the store: arrival at the store Sb;
- The motor stoppes and observes a pause of 12 seconds: end of pause;
- Displacement of the empty conveyor towards the manufacturing unit; when the conveyor arrives at the
manufacturing unit (Sa), it stoppes: end of cycle. Another cycle can only start if the conveyor is newly
loaded and one of the start push buttons (S1 or S2) is actuated.

The stop push button S0, enable to stop the functioning of the whole system.

The Emergency button (EM), allows to stop the action of the motor any moment.

3. Work required:

3.1. the real world devices used at the inputs of the PLC are analog or digital or discrete input?
3.2. how many field devices will be connected at the input module of the PLC?
3.3. how many real world devices will be connected at the output module of the PLC?
3.4. establish the programme of the PLC by using the Ladder diagram;
3.5. execute the wiring of PLC input and the output modules on page 3/3.
