PLC AUTOMATION EXAMPLES

1.

ON / OFF OF LAMP: Start & and stop of lamp using different combination of input pushbutton.
Operation :
When I/P1 is pressed , the lamp is switched ON
When I/P2 is pressed , the lamp switches OFF.

2.

START AND STOP OF MOTOR: Start & and stop of motor using different combination of input
pushbutton.
Operation :
When start pushbutton is pressed, similarly stop is not pressed , the motor starts
Running at preset frequency.
Now, if stop is pressed the motor stops running.

3.

ON / OFF LAMP USING 3 BUTTON :

Operation :
The condition for lamp to switch ON is that , it will switch ON only if 2 push button out of 3
If I/P1 & I/P2
OR
I/P 2 & I/P 3
OR
I/P 3 OR I/P 1 are pressed simultaneously the O/P is switched ON
If only single I/P is pressed OR if all 3 I/P pressed simultaneously then lamp will not glow

4.

COMBINATION OF SWITCHES TO ON THE DIFFERENT LAMPS:

NO. OF I /Os: - 2 INPUTS PUSH BUTTON.
NO. OF O/Ps:1) GREEN LAMP.
2) RED LAMP.
3) BLUE LAMP.
Operation:
When only PB 1 is pressed, Green & Blue lamp glows.
When PB 1 & PB 2 is pressed, only Red lamp glows.
When only PB 2 is pressed Blue lamp should glow

5.

ON /OFF OF PUMP:
Here are no. of I/Ps:
I/P 1, PUMP1;- START PB
I/P 2, PUMP1;- STOP PB.
I/P 3, PUMP2;- START PB.
I/P 4, PUMP2;- STOP PB.

Operation:
Whenever Pump 1 is switched ON, Red lamp glows and if Pump 2 are switched ON, Green
lamp glows.

6.

When Input

FLASHING OF LAMP:
No. of inputs 2
No. of outputs; - 1
Operation:When input is pressed once , the lamp ON and keeps flashing for 5 sec and is switched OFF.
The above sequence is repeated for 5 counts and then if the (I/P 1) is pressed for the 6 time ,
the lamp does not glow until reset input using pushbutton PB2 (I/P2).

7.

AUTO ON / OFF DOOR LAMP:

No. Of inputs:-1
No.of outputs:-1
Operation:
When Input 1 is pressed lamp ON remain on until door is opened & closed back if 10 sec.

8.

TRAFFIC LIGHT SIGNAL:

No. of I/Ps:-2
No. of O/Ps:- 3
Operation:As soon as the power is ON initially RED lamp should be ON after that Green lamp should ON
for a delay of 10 sec, green lamp off and Orange lamp switches ON for a delay of 2 sec and
after that RED lamp switches ON and cycle repeats.

9.

BOTTLE COUNTING APPLICATIONS:No. Of inputs:- I/P 1-Start

I/P 2-Stop
I/P 3- Proximity Sensor.
No. Of inputs:- O/P 1-CONVEYOR/ MOTOR
O/P 2- STOP LAMP
O/P 3 STOPPED
Operation:When I/P 1 is pressed, the O/P 1 i.e conveyor/motor starts, bottle starts passing through
conveyor through proximity sensor,

When 5 bottle are pressed, the O/P 2 i.e STOP LAMP switches to ON and conveyor /motor
OFF.
The whole operation is reset by I/P 2
10. MOTION OF 5 LED:
No. of inputs:-1
No. of outputs;-5 LED.
Operation:As soon as the power ON , the LED starts glowing for a delay of 5 second after which 2nd LED
is ON & 1st OFF, this continues up to 5 LED after which 1st is switched ON the cycle repeats.
11. FORWORD AND REVERSE MOTION OF 5 LED
No. of inputs:-1
No. of outputs;-5 LED.
Operation:When power is switched ON 5 LEDs are switched ON in the sequence from 1 to 5 with a delay
of 5 seconds.
After that LEDs are switched OFF in the sequence from 5 to 1 reverse direction with a delay
of 5 seconds.
12. PRODUCT TESTING- REJECTION OF COMPONENT
Operation:When start PB is pressed conveyor starts, the component to be tested is passed through
station 1 & station 2 depending upon the testing principles either tested ok or rejected any one
of the station, the stopper Reject tray is activated at is discarded.

13. PACKAGING LINE CONTROL

No. of Inputs:- I/P1-START PB,

I/P2-STOP PB,
I/P3-Part present sensor
I/P4 Box present sensor.
No. of Outputs: - O/P1- Apple Conveyor
O/P2- Box Conveyor
Operation :When PB1 (START Pushbutton) is pressed, the box conveyor starts. Upon detection of box
present, the box conveyor stops and apple conveyor starts, part sensor will count for a 10
apple.
Apple conveyor stops & Box conveyor starts again. Counter will be reset and operation
repeates until PB2 (STOP Pushbutton) is pressed.

14. TANK LEVEL CONTROL OPERATION

NO.OF INPUTS;
I/P1- start PB
I/P2- Stop PB
I/P3- Reset PB
I/P4- High level switch.
I/P5- Low level switch.
NO.OF OUTPUTS:;
O/P 1-Water supply valve
O/P 2-Drain valve
O/P 3- Stirring motor
O/P 4- End Indicator
O/P-5 - Buzzer

Operation :-

15. AUTOMATIC CAR PARKING SYSTEM.

No.of. Inputs:-5 (Proximity
sensor)

Car1 (I1)

Car2 (I2)

Car3 (I3)

No.of Outputs:- 4
Space

Full
I4

I0

Gate1(Q1)

Gate2(Q2)

Operation:
When space is available and car is in front of gate, I0 senses and gate 1(Q1) opens
When the car is parked, the gate 1 (Q1) closes. After 5 minutes
When all the car parked the Red lamp indicates as Full
When any one of the space available out of 3 car spaces, the Green lamp indicates as
Space.
When I4 detects the car, the gat 2 (Q2) opens and closes after 5 minutes.
