PLC Ladder Logic Chemical Mixing Process

Problem Logic

Step Conditions:
  1. Liquid A valve should ON till Sensor 2 activates
  2. Liquid B valve should ON between Sensor 1 and sensor 2 activation.
  3. After Sensor 2 activation, Stirrer motor should be ON for 10sec for stirring process.
  4. After stirring, Mixture output valve should open for 10sec.
  5. Process should continue still stop push button pressed.

Ladder Logic Description

RUNG000

Latching rung to operate the system through Master Start and Stop PB.

RUNG001 and RUNG0002

To turn on liquid A input valve using memory bit of start latching PB, it will automatically turn off once Sensor 2 activates

RUNG 0003 and RUNG 0004

To turn on liquid B input valve using Sensor 2 activation, it will automatically turn off once Sensor 1 activates

Rung 0005

To store the status of Sensor 1, memory bit is used.

Rung 0006

On delay timer is used to run  the stirrer motor for 10 sec .

RUNG 0007

On delay timer is used to Outlet valve for 10 sec .

Program runs continuously until STOP PB is pressed.

Note:
  1. Memory bits are used to store the sensor output, since it is the simulation, sensor cannot turn off automatically.
  2. Memory bits are used to get the sequence of operation.

Conclusion:

The above explained Chemical Mixing process is for example only. It may vary from real time. We can use this example program to understand the working of timers, memory bit and interlocking concept function in AB PLC.
