Hi Ali, I am also confused why you used normally open for STOP even though you mentioned that "If at any time the STOP (normally closed momentary) button is depressed, both motors will stop."

[@ALiEALiPLCProgrammingTutorials]

Hey Bert, We need to agree on the terminology. Inside the software, we use instructions and these instructions has names. Based on this, the instruction used with Stop is not called normally open. It’s is called Examine If Close [XiC]. We used XiC referring to STOP as STOP is Normally Closed and we want this instruction to be TRUE as long as STOP is not pressed and will allow us to start the motors. Anytime the STOP is pressed; as a switch, it will change to the Open state and the XiC referring to it will change to False and this will break the rung and stop both motors.

[@spinsky1994]

Great video but i have a question i cant seem to find an answer to. Maybe i'm thinking of it like a physical circuit too much, but @6:52 how does a NO(XiC) stop the motors when pressed? This looks like something that has broken the circuit and needs to be held down to continue.

[@ALiEALiPLCProgrammingTutorials]

Thanks Ross, When U want to choose the correct instruction [XiC or XiO] to be used with a STOP or DE-ENERGIZE input, U need to remember that this instruction has to be ALWaYS True as long as this input is in it’s Default state. Based on this and knowing that Stop is Normally Closed button, we need to choose XiC with it as this will maintain this instruction in the TRUE state as long as Stop is not pressed. When Stop is pressed, it will change to Open state and this will change the XiC instruction to False - hence breaking the rung and de-energizing the outputs.

Design a PLC program and prepare a typical I/O connection diagram and ladder logic program that will correctly execute a timber pressing system. The process presses three timber plates to for one thicker timber. The sequence of operation is as follows: Thinner timber plates are placed on the conveyor manually as long as space is available to place on the conveyor. The conveyor moves the timber plates to a point A where a robot is used to pick 3 timber plates sequentially and place on the pressing plate. In between the timber a machine sprays glue on each. The pressing machine presses it for 6minutes then the robot puts the pressed timber back on the same conveyor and continues this way. The robot is operated by three motors, two for motion one for grabbing. One motor to move the base arm up and down, one motor to rotate the base arm right and left and the third to grab or release the object. The vertical and rotational motions are restricted by two limit switches for each. The is a limit switch on the grabber which switches on when it presses on the surface to pick drop the timber. The timber pressed should also be counted to know the production size. The process is started by a start button and stopped by a stop button. There will be stoppage of the conveyor for the process to operate properly. A position sensor is also installed at the base of the robot to detect the arrival of a timber.

Thanks for sharing these lessons, very helpful am learning a lot....but I think am a bit lost Ali...please explain how the M1 will start when only start-1 is pressed and the stop is XiC (N.O)?

[@ALiEALiPLCProgrammingTutorials]

Hello Brian, We are using an XiC with STOP to keep this instruction True as long as Stop is not pressed. This is important because it clears the way to start M1 when Start is pressed. We are going with XiC with STOP because it is NC and this will maintain this XiC in the TRUE state - not breaking the rung - as long as STOP is not pressed.

[@ALiEALiPLCProgrammingTutorials]

Thanks typical. please note that the instruction associated with the Stop within the program is neither NO or NC. Stop itself is a NC switch. However, within the program and for order for it to function as a stop or de-energizing function, we are associating it with an Examine-if-Close instruction. In other words, when we are building our program we talk INSTRUCTIONs. Which instruction to use depends on the input device that we are dealing with.

Thanks for the amazing vide, had one small doubt, shouldn't 'STOP' be XIO, as in general conditions it should be conducting and when we want to stop giving M1 and M2 an output we can energise 'STOP' and open the respective switch?

[@ALiEALiPLCProgrammingTutorials]

Hello RITHVIK. If we associate the STOP with an XIO, you tell me what would the state of this instruction always going to be as long as STOP is not pressed

[@danielbrimelow]

@@ALiEALiPLCProgrammingTutorials The stop which is normally a n/c push button will be a nc which will allow current to flow when it is not pressed as otherwise when you press the start how will current flow?

[@ALiEALiPLCProgrammingTutorials]

Daniel, U are discussion the Stop from an “Electrical” point of view. We shouldn’t ignore this of course when it comes to programming. As a matter of fact, the same analogy applies but from a logical programming perspective. We need the rung and specifically the stop or the off section to be always true to allow the energizing of an output. From this perspective, the NC Stop switch need to be tied to an XIC instruction which will be always True as long as Stop is not pressed because the XIC always return True as long as it’s tied to a Closed switch. When Stop is pressed, XIC changes to False, it breaks the logic continuity in the rung and de-energizes the output.

[@godricgryffindor8129]

I am still puzzled, whely the latching is normally open? Shouldnt it be normally closed..,?, How is it that normally open latching able to keep motor 1 running??

[@ALiEALiPLCProgrammingTutorials]

You need to check earlier videos and we need to agree that the latching in not Normally open or Normally close. It is an Examine if Close [XIC] instruction that is referring to the output memory address. This is extremely important in understanding the logic used in building the program.

[@ALiEALiPLCProgrammingTutorials]

Godric, I suggest you go check earlier videos about Ladder Instructions. you shouldn't look @ latching as normally open or even normally closed. IT is a computer instruction called Examine If Closed - XIC. Please go thru it and we can fill the gaps later on.

[@ALiALi-yu1nl]

Thank you sir :-)

[@g.a.b.4914]

Nice example, but your explanations of the logic are inconsistent. Perspective is normally provided from an energized or circuit ON/Active point of view. A normally closed switch is closed (or TRUE) when logic is '0', and opens (disconnects circuit, FALSE) when logic is "1". Thus, the series connection that you show with STOP and M2 to disconnect M1 is a logical AND, both conditions have to be met, i.e.,TRUE) for STOP and M2 to provide path for M1 to conduct (be energized), while a parallel connection is a logical OR as either connection will allow the circuit to conduct through the associated path. In general, series means AND and parallel means OR.

[@ALiEALiPLCProgrammingTutorials]

G.A.B, we can’t group all discussions in a single tutorial regardless how lengthy we make 😉 I agree to most of what you said but the last statement needs additional illustrations. “And” is series when energizing and “or” is parallel when energizing. However, when de-energizing the discussion is inverted and for this I have created a new video LD24 - Instructions arrangements.

In rung 0, for either or condition you put it in series and then again in rung, you put it in series for "and" condition. M confused.

[@ALiEALiPLCProgrammingTutorials]

Shashank, please rethink the solution using the following summary of concepts: 1- if U have 2 or more conditions with an AND relationship to ENERGIZE an output, these conditions will have to be in Series with each other. 2- if U have 2 or more conditions with an OR relationship to ENERGIZE an output, these conditions will have to be in Parallel with each other. 3- if U have 2 or more conditions with an OR relationship to DE-ENERGIZE an output, these conditions will have to be in Series with each other. 4- if U have 2 or more conditions with an AND relationship to DE-ENERGIZE an output, these conditions will have to be in Parallel with each other. Please do NOT try and memorize the 4 rules above. They are meant only to help us choose correct arrangement among instructions we are using [ series or parallel ]

[@cilicecica]

is it possible to replace the stop swith with NC set to 0?

[@ALiEALiPLCProgrammingTutorials]

Cili, I'm not sure I got your question. Stop is a NC closed switch that turns to open [0] when pressed to turn off M1 & M2.

[@mnstrnmocutsy5441]

I think cili is right. If we say it's a NC contact so why dd we use a NO and then set it always on 1. Why not just use a NC & wen the stop button is pressed, it opens thed circuit and M1 & M2 turns off, just as how the question says.
