1. Programming PLCs using LADDER Logic
Good afternoon. My name is Jeferson Correa. I am a Ph. D. Student and I work with Dr. Simões with power electronics and control systems.
I am going to present to you a tutorial about PSIM, a simulation package for power electronics and also for control systems.

2. Presentation Outline Review of Ladder Programming
Keyence PLC Ladder Builder
Example 1: Motor Control
Example 2: Drill Control
Example 3: Traffic Light
I divided my presentation in this main topics:
First of all: what is PSIM?
Then I am going to present the circuit structure to be used with PSIM
After we are going to start using PSIM and I am going to present some basic operations with PSIM, like inserting components, building a simple circuit and using measurements on the circuit;
Then we are going to do to together some examples and, finally, you will have an exercise to do, ok?

So; let’s start looking of what is PSIM.
Well, PSIM is a simlatoin package desinged for both power electronics and control systems.
It is manufactured by the the company PowerSim, whose web site is www,powersimtech.com.
You can download the evaluation version from this site.
PSIM allows fast simulation and its interface is very friendly to the user.
It is indicated for system-level simulation, including control loop design and motor drive systems.
Different from PSPICe, for example, PSIM is not indicated for devices studies.
The PSIM package contains three programs: the circuit schematic program (SIMCAD), the simulator program (PSIM) and the waveform display program (SIMVIEW)

It is indicated for system-level simulation, including control loop design and motor drive systems.
Different from PSPICe, for example, PSIM is not indicated for devices studies.
The PSIM package contains three programs: the circuit schematic program (SIMCAD), the simulator program (PSIM) and the waveform display program (SIMVIEW)

43. Example 3 – Traffic Light
Start the operation with the switch S1 (input 0000)
The red signal must be ON for 5 seconds (output 0500)
The green signal must be ON for 8 seconds (output 0501)
The yellow signal must be ON for 3 seconds (output 0502)
The cycle must continues until the switch
S1 is released
So; let’s start looking of what is PSIM.
Well, PSIM is a simlatoin package desinged for both power electronics and control systems.
It is manufactured by the the company PowerSim, whose web site is www,powersimtech.com.
