Learn the examples of PLC programming using Boolean functions and implement the equivalent ladder logic.
Disclaimer: The following logic diagram example is intended for educational purposes, targeting students and engineering graduates to understand PLC basics.
Problem Statement
Design a PLC ladder logic for the following Boolean Expression.
We are using toggle Inputs to control the output.
Convert the below boolean expression into equivalent ladder logic.
Y = AB+C
Try the video tutorial to learn the PLC example from the start.
Digital Inputs:
The required inputs is listed here:
A: I0.0
B: I0.1
C: I0.2
Digital Outputs:
The required outputs is listed here:
Y: Q0.0
Now test the ladder logic and simulate the inputs.
When both Input A and Input B are ON
When both Input A and Input B are turned ON, Y (Q0.0) will turn ON. If one of these Inputs is turned OFF, Y (Q0.0) will turn OFF as these are in series implementing AND Logic Gate.
The inputs are used as Normally Open contacts and when in true state, the signal will pass through these inputs and the output will turn ON.
When Input C is ON
The output Y (Q0.0) will turn ON when Input C is turned ON because the signal will flow through Input C.
The input C is taken as Normally open contact as is connected in parallel. Therefore, turning ON this input only will also turn On the output Y (Q0.0).
