Note: The PLC example shown here is for educational use only for students to understand PLC ladder diagrams.

Create Ladder Diagram

Problem Statement

Design a PLC ladder logic for the following Boolean Expression.

We are using toggle Inputs to control the output.

Find out the equivalent ladder logic for the given boolean logic.

 Y= AB+CD

Video

This video tutorial helps you to learn the creation of ladder diagram based on the given boolean expression.

PLC Program to Perform Various Boolean Functions

Digital Inputs

The inputs listed below.

A: I0.0

B: I0.1

C: I0.2

D:I0.3

Digital Outputs

The outputs listed below.

Y: Q0.0

Program Description

  • We used Schneider Electric EcoStruxure Machine Expert Basic software.
  • In the above program, Normally Open Contacts are used for input A, input B, input C and input D.
  • Input A and Input B are connected in series, thus implementing AND Logic Gate.
  • There is again the implementation of AND Logic Gate as Input C and Input D are connected in series.
  • There is also implementation of OR Logic Gate as AB and CD are connected in parallel.
  • For the output Y (Q0.0) to be ON, Input A and Input B should be ON.
  • Turning ON only one input i.e., either input A or input B will not turn ON the output Y (Q0.0).
  • Turning ON Input C and Input D will also turn ON the output Y (Q0.0).
  • If only one input i.e., either input C or input D is turned ON, then the output Y (Q0.0) will remain OFF.

Logic Result

Check the below logic output result with simulation.

When both Input A and Input B are ON

Boolean Logic Ladder Diagram

The signal will pass through Input A and Input B when turned ON. If only one input i.e., Input A or Input B is turned ON, the output Y (Q0.0) will not turn ON.

The inputs A and B are in series and are used as Normally Open Contacts. So, for the output Y (Q0.0) both the inputs i.e., input A and input B should be ON.

When both Input C and Input D are ON

Make PLC Diagram from Boolean

When Input C and Input D are turned ON, the output Y(Q0.0) will turn ON. Input C and Input D implement AND Logic Gate as these are connected in series and are taken as Normally open Conatacts.

When both the inputs i.e., input C and input D are turned ON, then only the output Y (Q0.0) will turn ON, If only one input is turned ON i.e., only input C or input D is turned ON, the the output Y (Q0.0) will not turn ON.
