PLC Program using Set Coil

Problem Statement

Design a PLC ladder logic for the following application.

If Switch 1 is ON, then LED I and LED II will be ON.

If Switch 1 is OFF, then LED I and LED II will be still ON.

If Switch 2 is ON, then LED III and LED IV will be ON.

If Switch 2 is OFF, then LED III and LED IV will be still ON.

PLC Learning Video

This video helps you to learn this PLC program example from scratch. It is helpful for beginners.

PLC I/O List

Digital Inputs:

The DI signals are listed below.

  • Switch 1: I0.0
  • Switch 2: I0.1

Digital Outputs:

The DO signals are listed below.

  • LED 1: Q0.0
  • LED 2: Q0.1
  • LED 3: Q0.2
  • LED 4: Q0.3

PLC Program Example on Multiple LEDs using Set Coil

Logic Explanation

In this PLC example, we used EcoStruxure Machine Expert Basic PLC software for programming.

In the above PLC program, we have used Normally Open Contact for Switch 1 (I0.0), Switch 2 (I0.1).

We have also used Set coils for the outputs LED 1 (Q0.0), LED 2 (Q0.1), LED 3 (Q0.2) and LED 4 (Q0.3).

Switch 1 is connected to two LEDs i.e., LED 1 and LED 2.

LED 3 and LED 4 are connected to the input, Switch 2.

For LED 1 and LED 2 to turn ON, input Switch 1 should be turned ON.

LED 1 and LED 2 will remain ON when the input Switch is turned OFF.

When Switch 2 is turned ON, then LED 3 and LED 4 will turn ON.

Then, when switch 2 is turned OFF, LED 3 and LED 4 will remain ON.

Result

When Switch 1 is ON

PLC Program using Set Coil

As Switch 1 is used as Normally Open Contact, it will allow the signal to flow through it. As a result, LED 1 and LED 2 will turn ON.

When Switch 1 is OFF

Ladder Logic Set Coil

There is use of Set Coils for LED 1 and LED 2. So, the outputs will not turn OFF when input Switch 1 is turned OFF. LED 1 and LED 2 will remain ON.

When Switch 2 is ON

Set Instruction PLC Example Logic

LED 1 and LED 2 will turn ON when the input Switch 2 is turned ON. The input Switch 2 is taken as Normally Open Contact, it will allow signal to the outputs.

When Switch 2 is OFF

Ladder Diagram for LED ON and OFF

The outputs, LED 3 and LED 4 will not turn OFF when input Switch 1 is turned OFF. We have used Set coils for the outputs.

On turning OFF the input will not turn OFF the Outputs. Therefore, when Switch 2 is turned OFF, Led 3 and Led 4 will remain ON.
