PLC Program To Call A Subroutine For A Different Process

The document outlines a PLC program designed to call a subroutine that adds temperature outputs from two transmitters and updates the display every 10 seconds. It explains the advantages of using subroutines for data display and provides a detailed description of the program structure, inputs, outputs, and the ladder diagram. Additionally, it includes runtime test cases to demonstrate the functionality of the program.

PLC Program to Call a Subroutine for a Different Process

This is a PLC Program to Call a Subroutine for a Different Process.

Problem Description
Add temperature outputs of two temperature transmitters and display the total temperature. Update
display every 10 seconds when this system is active using Subroutine program.

Problem Solution
• Using subroutine has an advantage that process is not affected by any other data in subroutine
program unless and until the subroutine is called.
• This is very useful in displaying various data on the same display with a particular time
delay.
• For example, we can use the same display to show Pressure readings for the first 5 seconds
and Temperature reading for the next five seconds and so on.
• When we use subroutine instruction, Subroutine address must be same in JSR instruction of
main program and RET instruction of subroutine program.
PLC Program
Here is PLC program to Call a Subroutine for a Different Process, along with program explanation
and run time test cases.

List of Inputs and Outputs


I:1/0 = Start (Input)
I:1/1 = Stop (Input)
O:2/0 = Master Coil (Output)
T4:0 = Time delay to update data (Timer)
O:6 = Display address (Output)
N7:0 & N7:1 = Temperature data of transmitters (Register)
T4:0/DN = Update display calling Subroutine, reset timer (Timer Bit)
U:3 = Address of Subroutine (Subroutine)
Ladder Diagram to call subroutine
Program Description
• Main program comprises of simple Master Coil rung, rung for timer and rung to call
subroutine.
• When Start PB I:1/0 is pressed, Master coil energizes and the TON timer T4:0 is enabled.
• After 10 seconds when PRESET=ACCUMULATOR, T4:0/DN bit goes high calling
subroutine.
• Subroutine has a program that adds two data from addresses N7:0 and N7:1 which are
outputs from Temperature transmitters. These outputs are added and output of addition is
converted into BCD and sent to address O:6 which is connected to Display.
• Output data are in Hexadecimal and Displays accept BCD inputs. So TOD instruction is used
here to convert data of temperature addition to BCD.
• T4:0/DN is also used as an XIO input to Timer itself, hence it automatically resets to 0
whenever preset and accumulator values are equal or in other words, it updates the display
every 10secs resetting timer.
Runtime Test Cases
Display value is modified every 10secs
