I. Introduction
Many industrial processes such as packaging lines consist of pneumatic
actuators which follow a predetermined sequence of operations. These
sequences can be considered as a series of steps, each step resulting in the
operation of pneumatic solenoids. Progression between steps is controlled by
sensors on the controlled plant, e.g. photo-cells, stroke limit switches, timers,
etc. where a product is delivered on a conveyor, moved to the correct position
by a horizontal cylinder then stamped by a vertical cylinder. Associated with
these actuators is a series of sensors: a photocell, or similar device, to say a
product is present and positional limits to sense the end of stroke for each
cylinder.

To aid the design and to assist fault finding it is usual to draw a sequence
diagram showing the interaction between the sensors and actuators. Where A+
denotes cylinder, A extending and A– denotes cylinder A retracting. Sequence
systems are built around two-position pneumatic shuttle valves. It is important
to note that these have no spring return and hold position when the operating
signals are removed. If pneumatic pressure is applied to port X the spool shifts
to the right, extending the cylinder. This condition will be held even if the signal
is removed from port X. If a signal is now applied to port Y the spool will shift
to the left and the cylinder will retract. Again, this condition will be held even
if the signal is removed from port Y. The valve can be considered to be a
memory device with its state being an indication of which signal was last
applied. Obviously, signals should not be applied to opposing sides of the valve
at the same time.

II. Objectives
a. To be able to Design a sequence operation actuation from two different
position on the PLC system using the CoDeSys software.
b. To be able to design a similar program that satisfy the required of the given
problem. In which the problem must perform the sequence operation using
4 limiting switch and 2 Double acting cylinders that A+ B+ B- A-
c. To be familiarized with the operation and sequence of the PLC which
interprets the software
III. Procedure
1. Set the program in CoDeSys by creating a new file, choosing the FESTO
CPX-CEC/CPX-CEC-C1, type of POU (Program Organization Unit) and
use the Program and Ladder (LD) respectively, and configuring the plc to
be used by appending 8DIN/8DOUT [VAR] PLC.
2. Set how many Inputs and Outputs to be used in the PLC from the settings.
Which consists of 8DI/8DO.

3. Set up two inputs and output in the program by addressing it to the input
and output address of the PLC. For input address will consists of PB1, ,
LS1,LS2, LS3 and LS4 (5 inputs) and for output will consist of Single
Solenoid with spring return (Y1) and Double solenoid for (Y2) (2 outputs).

4. In this experiment K1, K2 , K3, and K4 is has no adressed which will be the
compiler and the PLC as a relay.Construct a diagram of the system diagram
of the system using latching switch or LS1Test the program for errors by
simulating it first. Go to Oline tab click simulation mode then login and run.
5. If the program runs correctly, then it is ready to be uploaded to the PLC.
6. Set-up the network configuration of the computer used by expiditing its IP
adress to 198.162.2.X,( X )note can be from any number except 50 for due
to by default 50 is being use by PLC already.
7. Connect the PLC to the computer using a ethernet or lan cable.
8. Then upload the program now to the PLC by unselecting the simulation
mode then login and search the conneted plc and select it now the program
is uploaded into the PLC and will excute the command even with out the
computer connected.
9. Then execute the program turn on the PLC make sure its all connected from
the main poweer supply and turn the knob of the PLC and make sure the air
service unit knob is on. Then push the buttons that satisfies the problem.
