Here you will learn how to create ladder diagram from Boolean logic and understand the basics of PLC.
Note: The PLC example shown here is for educational use only for students to understand PLC ladder diagrams.
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
This video tutorial helps you to learn the creation of ladder diagram based on the given boolean expression.
The inputs listed below.
A: I0.0
B: I0.1
C: I0.2
D:I0.3
The outputs listed below.
Y: Q0.0
Check the below logic output result with simulation.
When both Input A and Input B are ON
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
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.
