PLC based Drink Dispenser System

Develop ladder logic program for PLC-based Drink Dispenser System according to the logic given below,

1. Press the power button to activate the power supply as shown in the figure.
2. Put manually glass (or a cup) on conveyor to hold up drink A/B/C as shown in the below figure.
3. Press a one-button from A/B/C whatever you choose on the available types of drinks (It is toggle type switch).
4. Press the start button from the local panel.
5. The glass (or a cup) moves from limit switch 2 to 4 and stops the conveyor when glass reaches the appropriate limit switch, which we select from the A/B/C toggle switch.
6. Glass (or a cup)  fill by drink A/B/C for 15 sec.(as per glass size) and conveyor again start-up to glass not reach limit switch -5.

PLC Dispenser System

Dispenser PLC Program

Program Description:

Rung 1:

I: 0.0 and I: 0.1 respectively start and stop press button to control the power supply with latch output.

Rung 2:

Put the glass on L1 (I:0.4) place, which is converted from NO to NC, Press the Drink selection button from A/B/C, respectively enable I:0.9/I:0.10/I:0.11.

Press the Start PB to enable NC (I:0.2) to start the conveyor (O:0.1) until any solenoid valve (O:0.2/O:0.3/O:0.4) not energized and Stop PB(I:0.3) not enable.

After completion of the filling process, conveyor again starts until not reach up to L5 place (I:0.8).

Rung 3:

Conveyor drives the glass up to L2 place as per selected drink type from A. enable the solenoid A (O:0.2) until timer (T:1.DN) bit not enable.

Rung 4:

Fill the drink A for 15 sec (assume constant as per glass size) start the Timer enable the SOV A up to 15 sec and respective timer down bit control the SOV ON/OFF (solenoid A (O:0.2)) state.

Rung 5:

Conveyor drives the glass up to L3 place as per selected drink type from B. enable the solenoid B (O:0.3) until timer (T:2.DN) bit not enable.

Rung 6:

Fill the drink B for 15 sec (assume constant as per glass size) start the Timer enable the SOV B up to 15 sec and respective timer down bit control the SOV ON/OFF (solenoid B (O:0.3)) state.

Rung 7:

Conveyor drives the glass up to L4 place as per selected drink type from C. enable the solenoid C (O:0.4) until timer (T:3.DN) bit not enable.

Rung 8:

Fill the drink C for 15 sec (assume constant as per glass size) start the Timer enable the SOV C up to 15 sec and respective timer down bit control the SOV ON/OFF (solenoid C (O:0.4)) state.
