PLC Programming Batch ProcessProgram Description:Rung 0000:Rung 0001:Rung 0002 & 0003:Rung 0004, 0005 & 0006:Rung 0007:Rung 0008:Rung 0009:Conclusion:
  1. Ingredient A is sent to the tank first by energizing solenoid 1. The flow meter gives one pulse for every gallon of flow. Solenoid Valve will be open until 200 gal has poured in.
  2. After ingredient A is in the tank, 200 gal of ingredient B should be added. The process of adding follows the same procedure as ingredient A.
  3. Once step 2 is done, the mixer motor starts and runs for 10s.
  4. After mixing is complete, solenoid 3 should open, let the mixed batch goes to the finished tank.
  5. When the tank is empty, the low-level sensor turns ON to open solenoid 3 to close and restarts the process again.

Program Description:

Rung 0000:

Start/Stop PB latched with memory B3:0/0.

Rung 0001:

B3:0/0 enabled to turn on solenoid A (O: 0/0). Until B3:0/2 turns ON.

Rung 0002 & 0003:

Flowmeter (I:0/2) is connected to one shot to give one pulse when flow meter reads 1 gallon of ingredient A. Counter is used to count the gallon.

Counter done bit turns B3:0/2 On to turn off Solenoid A and turn On Solenoid B.

Rung 0004, 0005 & 0006:

Flowmeter (I: 0/3) is connected to one shot to give one pulse when the flow meter reads 1 gallon of ingredient B. Counter is used to count the gallon.

Counter done bit turns B3:0/3 On to turn off Solenoid A and turn On mixer motor.B3:0/2 is connected in rung 004 & 005 to get the sequence of operation.

Rung 0007:

B3:0/3 turns ON to run a mixer motor parallel with timer sets for 10s to turn off the mixer motor.

Rung 0008:

Timer done bit turns solenoid valve C (O:0/3) until the low-level switch.

Rung 0009:

Low-level switch (I: 0/4) will reset the counters to restart the process again.

Conclusion:

We can use this example to understand the programmable logic controller programming in Allen Bradley PLC.
