Write the PLC program for two tanks filling as per priority. Design the PLC Ladder Logic programming for this application.
In pneumatic conveying system two or more tanks are used for material supply. Sometimes it is necessary to define priority for tanks. For example, if there are two feeding tanks are used in system and both the tanks are empty so we which tank should be filled first?
So write priority logic in PLC for this problem. In this example we have taken two feeding tanks and we will fill tank as per priority. Hence we will fill tank 1 first if booth the tanks are detected empty.
Here we used normal logic for START/STOP cycle.lathing function is used here.
Priority selection logic is used in this network. If both the tanks are empty,priority for tank 1 will be activated.
If tank 2 is low , priority for tank 2 will be ON.
If tank 1 level is low and priority of tank 1 is ON, tank 1 feeding valve will be ON
If tank 2 is low and tank 1 priority is not activated, tank 2 feeding valve will be ON.
Note:-Above application may be different from actual application. We can also make this application by using other PLC also. This example is only for explanation purpose. This is the simple concept of priority for multiple tanks in conveying system; we can use this concept in other examples also.
All parameters and graphical representations considered in this example are for explanation purpose only, parameters or representation may be different in actual applications. Also all interlocks are not considered in the application.
