Please Note: The PLC program provided here is intended for educational use and helps students and technicians understand the basics.

PLC Push Button Program

Problem Statement

Design a PLC ladder logic for the following application.

We are using one push button to control the output.

When Push Button 1 is pressed and then released, then Output will be ON.

When Push Button 1 is pressed again and then released, then Output will be OFF.

PLC Training Videos

This video helps you learn the PLC programming tutorial related to 1 Push button for switching ON or OFF an output.

PLC Push Button ON OFF  (1 Pushbutton START or STOP 1 Output)

Inputs

The required inputs are listed below.

Push Button 1: I0.0

Output

The required outputs are listed below.

Output: Q0.0

Memory Bits

The required internal memory bits are listed below.

Memory Bit 1: M0

Memory Bit 2: M1

1 Push Button to Turn ON or OFF 1 Output

The PLC program for the given logic is shown below.

PLC 1 Push Button to Turn ON or OFF 1 Output

PLC Logic Description

In this logic, we used Schneider Electric PLC software.

In the above program, we have used Normally Open Contacts as well as Normally Closed Contacts and Memory Bits.

In Rung 0:

  1. Normally Open Contact is used for Push Button 1 to turn ON the output.
  2. Normally Closed Contact is used for Memory Bit 2 to turn OFF the output.
  3. Latching is used for Output so that when Push Button 1 is released, Output still remains ON.

In Rung 1:

  1. Normally Closed Contact is used for Push Button 1, and Normally Open Contact is used for Output to turn ON Memory Bit 1.
  2. As Memory Bit stores the data, Memory Bit 1 is used to store the data that Push Button 1 has released.

In Rung 2:

  1. Normally Open Contact is used for Push Button 1 to turn ON the Memory Bit 2.
  2. Memory Bit 1 is used to store the data that Push Button 1 is pressed again a second time.
  3. Memory Bit 2 i.e. latched with Memory Bit 1 is used to turn OFF the Output, So that when Memory Bit 2 turns ON in Rung 2, Normally Closed Contact used for Memory Bit 2 in Rung 0 will be in True state, and Output will turn OFF.

So, when Push Button 1 is pressed, the signal will flow through it as Normally Open Contact is used for Push Button 1 in Rung 0. In a false state, Normally Closed Contact used for Memory Bit 1 also passes the signal and Output will turn ON.

When Push Button 1 is released, Output will remain ON as Latching is used for Output in Rung 0. When Push Button 1 is released, Normally Closed Contact used for Push Button 1 in Rung 1 will be false state and allow the signal to pass.

Normally Open Contact Used for Output in Rung 1 will also pass the signal as it is in True state and Memory Bit 1 will turn ON which is connected with Push Button 1 and Output in Rung 1.

When Memory Bit 1 turns ON, it will store the data that Push Button 1 has been released. When Push Button 1 is pressed again, Memory Bit 1in Rung 2 will turn OFF and Memory Bit 2 will turn ON  and store the data that Push Button 1 is pressed again i.e. latched with Memory Bit 1 in Rung 2.

So, When Memory Bit 2 is turned ON in Rung 2, Normally Closed Contact used for Memory  Bit 2 in Rung 0 will be in True state and Output will turn OFF.

When Push Button 1 is released again, Output will remain OFF as Normally Open Contact used for  Push Button 1 in Rung 0 will be in a false state and does not allow the signal to pass the the Output.

PLC Simulation Results

The PLC program was simulated and results are shown below.

When Push Button 1 is PRESSED

PLC Push Button ON OFF

The signal flows through Push Button 1 as it is in true state and Output will turn ON.

In a false state, Memory Bit 2 in Rung 0 also passes the signal to turn ON the Output as Normally Closed Contact is used for Memory Bit 2 in Rung 0.

When Push Button 1 is RELEASED

Switching On and OFF by Single Push Button

When Push Button I is released, Output will remain ON as Latching is used for the Output in Rung 0.

In Rung 1, Memory Bit will turn ON as Normally Closed Contact used for Push Button 1 will be in a false state, and Normally Open Contact used for Output will be in a True state.

When Push Button 1 is PRESSED Again (Second Press)

Single Push Button On Off PLC Program

Pressing Push Button I again will turn OFF the Output because Memory Bit 2 in Rung 0 and Rung 2 will turn ON.

So, Normally Closed Contact used for Memory Bit 2 in Rung 0 will be in true state and does not allow the signal to pass to the Output.

When Push Button 1 is RELEASED Again (Second Release)

Turn ON and OFF PLC Output with one Push button

When Push Button I is released again, Output will remain OFF as Normally Open Contact used for Push Button 1 in Rung 0  will be in a false state and will not pass signal to the output.
