PLC Programming & Components Guide

The document provides an overview of a course on Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). It discusses the PLC programming equipment, formats, and proper construction of ladder diagrams. It also covers input and output devices that connect to PLC modules, such as switches, analog devices, and on/off or analog output devices. The document compares old relay systems to PLC-based panels and lists advantages and disadvantages of PLCs. It provides details on the overall PLC system, including the central processing unit, programmer/programming device, and input/output modules.

OVERALL PLC SYSTEM
LADDER DIAGRAM
1. Central Processing Unit (CPU):

It is the brain of the system, which has three subparts:


a)- Microprocessor/Microcontroller:
The Computer Center that carries out mathematics and logic operations.
b)- Memory:
The area of CPU in which data and information is stored and retrieved. Holds the
system software and user programme.
c)- Power Supply:
The electrical supply that converts AC line voltages to various operational DC
voltages to ensure proper computer operation.
2. Programmer/Programming Device

- The programmer /monitor (PM) is a device used to communicate with the circuits
of the PLC.

- Handheld terminals, industrial terminals and the personal computer exist as PM


devices.
3. I/O Modules

- The input module has terminals into which outside process electrical signals,
generated by sensors and transducers are entered.

- The output module has terminals to which output signals are sent to activate
relays, solenoids, various solid-state switching devices, motor and display.

- The actual operating process under PLC control can be thousands of feet from
the CPU and its I/O modules.
3. I/O Modules

- There are typically 4,8,12 or 16 terminals per module.

- There may be an equal number or different number of input and output


terminals for PLC I/O module.
- For smaller systems, the input/ output
terminal may be included on the same
frame as CPU.

- For Large PLC System, the input and


output modules are separate.
