Control Process Physical Quantity is sensed in the form of small current/voltage e.g. Temperature, Pressure, Flow, Level etc (Sensor) This Electrical Signal is amplified to a certain level (Amplifier) Then amplified analogue output is converted into digital form. (Analogue to Digital Converter i.e. A/D) This digital output is fed to the controller of the system to control the various physical quantities with the help of different devices. (PLC, Microcontroller, DSP etc…)

What is PLC? A digitally operating electronic apparatus which uses a programmable memory for internal storage of instructions Implement specific functions, such as logic, sequencing, timing, counting and arithmetic Control various types of machines or process through digital or analogue input/output.

Traditional concept of PLC
PLC performs relay equivalent functions PLC performs ON/OFF control Designed for industrial environment

General Architecture of PLC
10
Input of PLC Types of Voltages: DC: 12V, 24V, 48V AC: 120V/220V
Input Devices: Pushbuttons Sensors Relay Contacts etc… *Input of a PLC can be Digital as well as Analogue
11
PLC input is the load in the circuit, sensing if voltage is present.
Contd… PLC input is the load in the circuit, sensing if voltage is present.
12
Output of PLC Types of Voltages: Output Devices: DC: 12V, 24V, 48V
AC: 120V/220V Output Devices: Relays (24V DC/AC, 120V/220V AC) Transistors MOSFET (24V DC) Valves Solenoids Light Fan etc…. *Output of a PLC can be Digital as well as Analogue
13
PLC output is a switch, controlling the current flow to the load.
Contd… PLC output is a switch, controlling the current flow to the load.

PLC Hardware Type A most basic PLC system is a self contained PLC which has two terminal blocks, one for the Input and other for the Output, called “Micros”. Typically they provide front panel LED status indication of I/O and processor status.

2. Modular Chassis Based PLC
The vast majority of PLC’s installed today are modular chassis based PLC consisting of:

3. Modular Chassis-less PLC Systems
The advanced PLC’s are chassis-less These are modular PLC systems. These systems also have: -Processor Power supply -I/O modules Communication card These components mount directly on a panel to allow easy insertion and removal.

Programming of PLC The purpose of a PLC program is to control the state of outputs based on the current condition of the inputs. Types of programming : Ladder Logic (Analogous to Relay Technology) Function Block (FB’s based on AND-OR logic) Visual Basic (VB based on C language) *DOS based programming (Old Technology)
33
1. Ladder Logic Most popular and most commonly used PLC language is known as “Ladder Logic” . Ladder Logic purposely resembles relay logic. In order to control a process we try to design the logical continuity from input to output of program.
