Copyright Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Chapter 6 PLC Programming 123 L AB ACTIVIT Y 6B Control Problems This lab activity can be found in the Lab Manual as Lab Activity 6-11. Objective In this activity, you will create relay logic diagrams from problem descriptions. Then, you will create PLC ladder logic diagrams and verify their operation. Equipment Allen-Bradley SLC 500 series PLC trainer Single-pole, single-throw (SPST) switches (2) Normally open pushbuttons (2) Red, green, and white pilot lights Split-phase AC induction motors (2) (fractional horsepower) Procedure Activity 1 In this activity, you will create a PLC ladder logic diagram that carries out the following operations. When switch one (SW1) is closed, the green pilot light (Green_PLT) turns on. When switch two (SW2) is closed, the white pilot light (White_PLT) turns on. When both SW1 and SW2 are closed, the Green_PLT and White_PLT are off, and the red pilot light (Red_PLT) turns on. Step 1 Draw the relay logic diagram for this circuit. Step 2 List the input devices and PLC input port addresses, and then list the output devices and PLC output port addresses. Step 3 Complete the PLC I/O connections on your PLC lab station. Step 4 Draw the PLC ladder logic diagram for the relay logic diagram in Step 1. Step 5 Use Rockwell RSLogix 500 software to create the PLC ladder logic diagram. Step 6 Download the PLC ladder logic diagram into the PLC station. Place the PLC in the run/monitor mode. Step 7 Demonstrate your working PLC system for your instructor. Activity 2 In this activity, you will create a PLC ladder logic diagram that carries out the following operations. The black switch (SWB) is the emergency stop switch. When the red pushbutton (PBR) is pressed, the red pilot light (Red_PLT) and motor one (M1) are energized. They will stay on until the SWB is opened.
