Step-by-step guide to plc ladder logic with set coil and reset coil example presented in this educational blog.
Please note: The logic diagram example is designed for educational use for students and engineering graduates to learn PLC fundamentals.
Problem Statement
Design a PLC ladder logic for the following application.
We are using two toggle switches to control two motors.
If Switch 1 is ON, then Motor I and Motor II will be ON.
If Switch 1 is OFF, then Motor I and Motor II will be still ON.
If Switch 2 is ON, then Motor I and Motor II will be Off.
Learn this PLC programming example with the below video.
Digital Inputs:
The list of inputs given below.
Switch 1: I0.0
Switch 2: I0.1
Digital Outputs:
The list of outputs given below.
Motor 1: Q0.0
Motor 2: Q0.1
Let’s see the program result with different input simulations.
When Switch 1 is ON
Switch 1, in the true state, will allow the signal to flow through it and Motor 1, and Motor 2 will get ON.
When Switch 1 is OFF
Motor 1 And Motor will remain ON when Switch 1 is turned OFF as Set Coils are used for these two Motors. The set coils will remain ON even when the input is changed to false.
When Switch 2 is ON
When Switch 2 is turned ON, Motor 1 and Motor 2 will TURN OFF as Reset Coils are used for Motor 1 and Motor 2 in Rung1.
The reset coils, once activated, will turn OFF the outputs. And it will keep it OFF even when the input is turned OFF.
