PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLER
INTRODUCTION
A programmable logic controller (PLC) or programmable controller is a digital
computer used for automation of electromechanical processes, such as control
of machinery on factory assembly lines, amusement rides, or lighting fixtures.
PLCs are used in many industries and machines. Unlike general-purpose
computers, the PLC is designed for multiple inputs and output arrangements,
8/3/2019 jai lal meena
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/jai-lal-meena 20/49
extended temperature ranges, immunity to electrical noise, and resistance to
vibration and impact. Programs to control machine operation are typically
stored in battery-backed or non-volatile memory. A PLC is an example of a real
time system since output results must be produced in response to input
conditions within a bounded time, otherwise unintended operation will result.
Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are members of the computer family
capable of storing instructions to control functions such as sequencing, timing,
and counting, which control a machine or a process. The PLC is composed of
two basic sections, the Central Processing Unit (CPU) and the Input/Output
(I/O) interface system. The PLC measures input signals coming from a
machine and through the internal program provides output or control back to the
machine.
Ladder logic is the programming language used to represent electrical
sequences of operation. In hardwired circuits the electrical wiring is connectedfrom one device to another according to logic of operation. In a PLC the devices
are connected to the input interface, the outputs are connected to the output
interface and the actual wiring of the components is done electronically inside
the PLC using ladder logic. This is known as soft wired.
PLC is a device that is capable of being programmed to perform a controlling
function. logic control system.
The PLC was first conceived by group of engineers from hydramatic division of
GM in 1968.This was designed to provide flexibility in control based on
programming and executing logic instruction.

HISTORY
8/3/2019 jai lal meena
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/jai-lal-meena 22/49
The PLC was invented in response to the needs of the American automotive
manufacturing industry.
Before the PLC, control, sequencing, and safety interlock logic for
manufacturing
automobiles was accomplished using hundreds or thousands of relays, cam
timers, and drum sequencers and dedicated closed-loop controllers. The process
for updating such facilities for the yearly model change-over was very time
consuming and expensive, as electricians needed to individually rewire each
and every relay.
In the late 1960's PLCs were first introduced. The primary reason for designing
such a device was eliminating the large cost involved in replacing the
complicated relay based machine control systems. Bedford Associates
(Bedford, MA) proposed something called a Modular Digital Controller
(MODICON) to a major US car manufacturer. One of the people who worked
on that project was Dick Morley, who is considered to be the "father" of the
PLC. Other companies at the time proposed computer based schemes, one of
which was based upon the PDP-8. The MODICON 084 brought the world's first
PLC into commercial production.
8/3/2019 jai lal meena
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/jai-lal-meena 23/49
DEVELOPMENT
Early PLCs were designed to replace relay logic systems. These PLCs were
programmed in "ladder logic", which strongly resembles a schematic diagram
of relay logic. This program notation was chosen to reduce training demands for
the existing technicians. Other early PLCs used a form of instruction list
programming, based on a stack-based logic solver.
Modern PLCs can be programmed in a variety of ways, from ladder logic to
more traditional programming languages such as BASIC and C. Another
method is State Logic, a very high-level programming language designed to
program PLCs based on state transition diagrams.
Many early PLCs did not have accompanying programming terminals that werecapable of graphical representation of the logic, and so the logic was instead
represented as a series of logic expressions in some version of Boolean format,
similar to Boolean algebra. As programming terminals evolved, it became more
common for ladder logic to be used, for the aforementioned reasons. Newer
formats such as State Logic and Function Block (which is similar to the way
logic is depicted when using digital integrated logic circuits) exist, but they are
still not as popular as ladder logic. A primary reason for this is that PLCs solve
the logic in a predictable and repeating sequence, and ladder logic allows the
programmer (the person writing the logic) to see any issues with the timing of
the logic sequence more easily than would be possible in other formats.
8/3/2019 jai lal meena
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/jai-lal-meena 24/49
PROGRAMMING
Early PLCs, up to the mid-1980s, were programmed using proprietary
programming panels or special-purpose programming terminals, which often
had dedicated function keys representing the various logical elements of PLC
programs. Programs were stored on cassette tape cartridges. Facilities for
printing and documentation were very minimal due to lack of memory capacity.
The very oldest PLCs used non-volatile magnetic core memory.
More recently, PLCs are usually programmed using special application software
written for use on desktop computers, and connecting between the desktop
computer and the PLC such as via Ethernet or RS-232 cabling. Such software
allows entry and editing of the ladder-style logic, and then may provide
additional functionality to assist debugging and troubleshooting the software
(for example, by highlighting portions of the logic to show current status during
operation or via simulation). Finally, the software may allow uploading and
downloading of the program between the computer and the PLC, for backup
and restoration purposes. Alternately, specific devices known as programming
boards are used to hard wire the logic into the controller by the use of a
removable chip, such as an EEPROM, where the program is transferred to the
programming board from the workstation via serial or other bus logic.

Configuration of Typical PLC
CPU
Like other computerized devices, there is a Central Processing Unit (CPU) in
a PLC. The CPU, which is the “brain” of a PLC, does the following
operations:
• Updating inputs and outputs. This function allows a PLC to read the status of
its input terminals and energize or deenergize its output terminals.
• Performing logic and arithmetic operations. A CPU conducts all themathematic and logic operations involved in a PLC.
• Communicating with memory. The PLC’s programs and data are stored in
memory. When a PLC is operating, its CPU may read or change the contents
of memory locations.
• Scanning application programs. An application program, which is called a
8/3/2019 jai lal meena
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/jai-lal-meena 29/49
ladder logic program, is a set of instructions written by a PLC programmer.
The scanning function allows the PLC to execute the application program as
specified by the programmer.
• Communicating with a programming terminal. The CPU transfers program
and data between itself and the programming terminal.
A PLC’s CPU is controlled by operating system software. The operating
system software is a group of supervisory programs that are loaded and stored
permanently in the PLC’s memory by the PLC manufacturer.
MEMORY
Memory is the component that stores information, programs, and data in a PLC.
The process of putting new information into a memory location is called
writing. The process of retrieving information from a memory location is called
reading.
The common types of memory used in PLCs are Read Only Memory (ROM)
and Random Access Memory (RAM). A ROM location can be read, but not
written. ROM is used to store programs and data that should not be altered. For
example, the PLC’s operating programs are stored in ROM.
A RAM location can be read or written. This means the information stored in a
8/3/2019 jai lal meena
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/jai-lal-meena 30/49
RAM location can be retrieved and/or altered. Ladder logic programs are stored
in RAM. When a new ladder logic program is loaded into a PLC’s memory, the
old program that was stored in the same locations is over-written and essentially
erased.
The memory capacities of PLCs vary. Memory capacities are often expressed in
terms of kilo-bytes (K). One byte is a group of 8 bits. One bit is a memory
location that may store one binary number that has the value of either 1 or 0.
(Binary numbers are addressed in Module 2). 1K memory means that there are
1024 bytes of RAM. 16K memory means there are 16 x 1024 =16384 bytes of
RAM.
INPUT AND OUTPUT MODULES
A PLC is a control device. It takes information from inputs and makes decisions
to energize or de-energize outputs. The decisions are made based on the statuses
of inputs and outputs and the ladder logic program that is being executed.
The input devices used with a PLC include pushbuttons, limit switches, relay
contacts, photo sensors, proximity switches, temperature sensors, and the like.
These input devices can be AC (alternating current) or DC (direct current). Theinput voltages can be high or low. The input signals can be digital or analog.
Differing inputs require different input modules. An input module provides an
interface between input devices and a PLC’s CPU, which uses only a low DC
voltage. The input module’s function is to convert the input signals to DC
voltages that are acceptable to the CPU. Standard discrete input modules
8/3/2019 jai lal meena
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/jai-lal-meena 31/49
include 24 V AC, 48 V AC, 120 V AC, 220 V AC, 24 V DC, 48 V DC, 120 V
DC, 220 V DC, and transistor-transistor logic (TTL) level.
The devices controlled by a PLC include relays, alarms, solenoids, fans, lights,
and motor starters. These devices may require different levels of AC or DC
voltages. Since the signals processed in a PLC are low DC voltages, it is the
function of the output module to convert PLC control signals to the voltages
required by the controlled circuits or devices. Standard discrete output modules
include 24 V AC, 48 V AC, 120 V AC, 220 V AC, 24 V DC, 48 V DC, 120 V
DC, 220 V DC, and TTL level.
POWER SUPPLY
PLCs are powered by standard commercial AC power lines. However, many
PLC components, such as the CPU and memory, utilize 5 volts or another level
of DC power. The PLC power supply converts AC power into DC power to
support those components of the PLC.
PROGRAMMING TERMINAL
A PLC requires a programming terminal and programming software for
operation. The programming terminal can be a dedicated terminal or a generic
8/3/2019 jai lal meena
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/jai-lal-meena 32/49
computer purchased anywhere. The programming terminal is used for
programming the PLC and monitoring the PLC’s operation. It may also
download a ladder logic program (the sending of a program from the
programming terminal to the PLC) or upload a ladder logic program (the
sending of a program from the PLC to the programming terminal). The terminal
uses programming software for programming and “talking” to a PLC.
WORKING OF PLC
Bringing input signal status to the internal memory of CPU
• The field signals are connected to the I/P module. At the output of I/P module
the field status converted into the voltage level required by the CPU is alwaysavailable.
• At the beginning of each cycle the CPU brings in all the field I/P signals from
I/P module & stores into its internal memory called as “PII”, meaning process
image input.
• The programmable controller operates cyclically meaning when complete
program has been scanned; it starts again at the beginning of the program.
I/O BUS
8/3/2019 jai lal meena
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/jai-lal-meena 33/49
A PLC works by continually scanning a program. We can think of this scan
cycle as consisting of 3 important steps.
Step 1-Check Input Status-First the PLC takes a look at each input to determine
if it is on or off. In other words, is the sensor connected to the first input on
How about the second input How about the third... It records this data into its
memory to be used during the next step.
Step 2-Execute Program-Next the PLC executes your program one instruction
at a time. Maybe your program said that if the first input was on then it should
turn on the first output. Since it already knows which inputs are on/off from the
previous step it will be able to decide whether the first output should be turned
on based on the state of the first input. It will store the execution results for use
later during the next step.
Step 3-Update Output Status-Finally the PLC updates the status of the outputs.
It updates the outputs based on which inputs were on during the first step andthe results of executing your program during the second step. Based on the
example in step 2 it would now turn on the first output because the first input
was on and your program said to turn on the first output when this condition is
true.
Process Control and Automation
Process Control
“The process of recognizing the state of the process at all times, analyze the
information according to the set rules and guidelines and accordingly actuate
the control elements is referred to as process control.”
8/3/2019 jai lal meena
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/jai-lal-meena 34/49
FUNCTIONALITY
The functionality of the PLC has evolved over the years to include sequential
relay control, motion control, process control, distributed control systems and
networking. The data handling, storage, processing power and communication
capabilities of some modern PLCs are approximately equivalent to desktop
computers. PLC-like programming combined with remote I/O hardware, allow
a general-purpose desktop computer to overlap some PLCs in certain
applications. Regarding the practicality of these desktop computer based logic
controllers, it is important to note that they have not been generally accepted in
heavy industry because the desktop computers run on less stable operating
systems than do PLCs, and because the desktop computer hardware is typically
not designed to the same levels of tolerance to temperature, humidity, vibration,and longevity as the processors used in PLCs. In addition to the hardware
limitations of desktop based logic, operating systems such as Windows do not
lend themselves to deterministic logic execution, with the result that the logic
may not always respond to changes in logic state or input status with the
extreme consistency in timing as is expected from PLCs. Still, such desktop
logic applications find use in less critical situations, such as laboratory
automation and use in small facilities where the application is less demanding
and critical, because they are generally much less expensive than PLCs.
In more recent years, small products called PLRs (programmable logic relays),
and also by similar names, have become more common and accepted. These are
very much like PLCs, and are used in light industry where only a few points of
8/3/2019 jai lal meena
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/jai-lal-meena 35/49
I/O (i.e. a few signals coming in from the real world and a few going out) are
involved, and low cost is desired. These small devices are typically made in a
common physical size and shape by several manufacturers, and branded by the
makers of larger PLCs to fill out their low end product range. Popular names
include PICO Controller, NANO PLC, and other names implying very small
controllers. Most of these have between 8 and 12 digital inputs, 4 and 8 digital
outputs, and up to 2 analog inputs. Size is usually about 4" wide, 3" high, and 3"
deep. Most such devices include a tiny postage stamp sized LCD screen for
viewing simplified ladder logic (only a very small portion of the program being
visible at a given time) and status of I/O points, and typically these screens are
accompanied by a 4-way rocker push-button plus four more separate push-
buttons, similar to the key buttons on a VCR remote control, and used to
navigate and edit the logic. Most have a small plug for connecting via RS-232
to a personal computer so that programmers can use simple Windows
applications for programming instead of being forced to use the tiny LCD and
push-button set for this purpose. Unlike regular PLCs that are usually modular
and greatly expandable, the PLRs are usually not modular or expandable, but
their price can be two orders of magnitude less than a PLC and they still offer
robust design and deterministic execution of the logic.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/jai-lal-meena 36/49
COMMUNICATION
PLCs have built in communications ports, usually 9-pin RS-232, but optionally
EIA-485 or Ethernet. Modbus, BACnet or DF1 is usually included as one of the
communications protocols. Other options include various fieldbuses such as
DeviceNet or Profibus. Other communications protocols that may be used are
listed in the List of automation protocols.
Most modern PLCs can communicate over a network to some other system,
such as a computer running a SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data
Acquisition) system or web browser.
PLCs used in larger I/O systems may have peer-to-peer (P2P) communication
between processors. This allows separate parts of a complex process to have
individual control while allowing the subsystems to co-ordinate over the
communication link. These communication links are also often used for HMI
devices such as keypads or PC-type workstations.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/jai-lal-meena 38/49
chances are good that there is a plc present. If you are involved in machining,
packaging, material handling, automated assembly or countless other industries
you are probably already using them. If you are not, you are wasting money and
time. Almost any application that needs some type of electrical control has a
need for a plc.
APPLICATIONS OF PLC SYSTEM
• In industry, there are many production tasks, which are of highly repetitive
nature. Although repetitive & monotonous, each stage needs careful attention of
operator to ensure good quality of final product.
• Many times, a close supervision of the processes cause high fatigue on
operator resulting in loss of track of process control.
• Sometimes it’s hazardous also as in the case of potentially explosive chemical
processes.
• Under all such conditions we can use PLCs effectively in totally eliminating
the possibilities of human error.
• Some capabilities of PLCs are as follows:

1. Logic control
2. PID control
3. Coordination & automation
4. Operator control
5. Signaling and listing etc.
• In short, wherever sequential logic control & automation is desired the PLCs
are the best suited to meet the task. It includes simple interlocking functions to
complicated analog signal processing to PID control action in closed loop
control etc.
• Few examples of industries where PLCs are used for control & automation
purpose are listed below: -
1. Tyre industry.
2. Blender reclaimer.
3. Bulk material handling system at ports.4. Ship unloader.
5. Wagon loaders.
6. Steel plants.
7. Blast furnace charging.
8. Brick-moulding press in refectories.
9. Galvanizing plant.
10. Dairy automation.
11. Pulp factory.
12. Printing industry etc.
• Today the PLCs are used for control and automation job in a single machine
and it increases up to full automation of manufacturing or testing process in a

factory.
In robotics:
PLC is used for two tasks in robotics:
1) As the controller or unprogrammble part of robot.
2) As an overall system controller.
In flexible manufacturing system:
The logical development from linking machines in this manner is to group
programmable machines into flexible manufacturing cells, each capable of
machining a variety of products under fully automatic control.
In factory automation:
The Austin-rover assembling plant.
The plant produces multi style car body from individual body panels .
The process consists of following activities:
1. Make up of sub assemblies from panels. Eg: doors, under frames
2. Tag sub assemblies together.
3. Pass tagged bodies to a main jig for automatic alignment & framing.
4. Conduct material transfer in which sub assemblies are selected, transported &
distributed to workstation by conveyor system
5. Maintain quality control by automatic monitoring & manual inspection of
each process.
The PLC tracks each component as it moves through the production area,
communicating this information to each appropriate robot as necessary. Data

send between PLC & robot includes handshaking signals to indicate robot busy
parked, action complete etc. Data in binary coded decimal form is used to send
component information & weld sequences from the PLC to root, which must
acknowledge receipt of the correct data before the PLC will allow it to
commence operation.

PLC DISADVANTAGES
8/3/2019 jai lal meena
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/jai-lal-meena 43/49
• In contrast to microcontroller systems that have what is called an open
architecture, most PLCs manufacturers offer only closed architectures
for their products.
• PLC devices are proprietary, which means that parts and software from
one manufacturer can t easily be used in combination with parts of
another manufacturer, which limits the design and cost options.
CONCLUSION
PLC is a device that is capable of being programmed to perform a controlling
function. The PLC was designed to provide flexibility in control based
programming and executing logic instruction. PLC allowed for shorter
installation time and faster commissioning through programming rather than
wiring.
The PLC have in recent years experienced an unprecedented growth as
universal element in industrial automation .It can be effectively used in
applications ranging from simple control like replacing a small number of relaysto complex automation problems.
Today the PLCs are used for control & automation job in a single machine & it
increases up to full automation of manufacturing / testing process in a factory

Controlling Our M achines
Any complex piece of machinery
requires a user interface to enable the user to monitor its operations, check for
efficient functioning, and intervene when required. Machines overheat, slow
down, speed up or generally vary in their performance based on numerous
factors such as fatigue, weather conditions, and the wear and tear of
components and parts.
In electrical machines, like generators, these varying changes constitute an
electrical signal. These signals can be intelligently processed to control the
performance of the machine. A lot of machines in urban environments (such as
signal lights and automatic doors) are completely self-managed due to such
controllers. They have sensors that can detect changes in physical attributes like
heat and speed and generate signals accordingly. Modern generators also have
similar sensors to detect changes in all kinds of various parameters. These can
be used to control the generator through a control panel.

Working
The control panel is becoming an increasingly complex piece of electronics
with a microprocessor that can manipulate input from sensors to help give
feedback to the machine to manage itself. One such feedback could be the
temperature, indicating overheating, other examples would be over/under speed
and low/high oil pressure. Typically, a heat sensor inside the generator would
sense the build up of heat in the generator body and pass this to the
microprocessor in the control panel. The microprocessor will then take effective
measures to regulate the performance of the machine including shutdowns if,
for example, the oil pressure is too low or the coolant temperature is too high,
leading to buildup of heat. In industrial situations, this functionality of control
panels is becoming increasingly critical. The microprocessor or microcontroller
is embedded in the circuitry inside the control panel and is programmed to take
in the sensor input and react to that with the programmed control rules.

Control panels can be combined with an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) to
maintain the continuity of electrical power. The ATS detects an outage of power
when your local grid fails. It signals the control panel to start the generator.
Depending on the type of generator being used, the control panel may activate
glow plugs (for diesel) for an adjustable length of time. It will then start the
generator using an automatic starter, similar to the one you engage when you
turn the keys in the ignition of your car in the morning. As soon as the engine of
the generator reaches an optimum speed, the starter is disengaged. The ATS
then switches to the generator power, and you can go back to business as usual,
without having to frantically scramble to figure out what caused power loss.
This aspect of a control panel makes it extremely useful in homes during bad
weather and in industrial situations for ensuring mission-critical continuity
