--PLC PROGRAMMES ON LADDER LOGICS--

Draw the Ladder Diagram for the following logics by using
SIMATIC MANAGER Software for SIEMENS PLC.
Programme Examples on NO/NC Switches.

Example 1: Develop a LAD programme such

that the lamp L1 should glow when the switch
S1 is made ON and the lamp gets OFF when
switch S1 is made OFF

Example 2: Develop a LAD programme such

that the Lamp L2 should not glow when switch
S2 is made ON Lamp should glow when switch
S2 is made OFF.

Example 3: The lamp L3 should glow when both

the switch S1 & S2 are ON.

Example 4: The lamp L4 should glow when any

one of the switch S1 or S2 is ON.
Example 5: Develop Ladder Logic for a car
door/seat belt safety system. When the car
door is open, or the seat belt is not done up,
the ignition power must not be applied. If all is
safe then the key will start the engine.

Example 6: The lamp should glow when either

the switch (S1 & S2) or S3 is ON.

Example 7: The lamp should glow when the

switch (S1 & S2) or (S3 & S4) is pressed.
Example 8: The lamp should glow when the
switch (S1 or S2) & (S3 or S4) is pressed.

Example 9: Develop ladder logic for a car door

and inside light system. If any of the car door,
out of four doors is opened or a switch S1
inside the car is made ON a lamp L1 inside the
car gets ON .When all the four doors are closed
and switch S1 is kept open the lamp inside the
car gets OFF. If all the 4 doors are opened and
switch S1 is made ON the lamp inside the car
can be made OFF by pressing another switch
S2. If all the car doors are closed, then the
inside lamp can be made ON by switch S1 and
can be made OFF by switch S2.

Example 10: The lamp should glow when the

switch (S1 or S2 or S3) & (S4 or S5) & S6 are
pressed.

Example 11: The lamp should glow when the

switch (S1 & S2 & S3) or (S4 & S5) or S6 is
pressed.

Example 12: The lamp should glow when the

switch S1 & (S2 or S3) & (S4 or S5) are made
ON.

Example 13: A fan is to run when all the

following conditions are met:
a) Switch S1is kept OFF.
b) Switch S2 or S3 is made ON.
c) Switch S4 & S5 are made ON
d) Switch S6 or S7 or S8 is made ON.

Example 14: There are three fans in a room and

are controlled individually by toggle switches
there is a panel board outside the room. Draw
logic in LAD such that when the following
condition satisfied the indicator light should
glow in panel board.
a) If all the three fans are running the RED lamp L1 glows in
panel board at that time L2 and L3 should off.
b) If any two fans are running the YELLOW lamp L2 glows
at that time L1 and L3 should off.
c) If any one fan is running the GREEN lamp L3 glows at
that time L1 and L2 should off.

Example 15: In a factory there is a switch at

the entry gate when it is pressed a main
contractor is on when the main contractor is
on it makes five light off which was running
last night in a corridor loaded on a separate
contactor when the corridor lights are off main
office building light and other office rooms ten
numbers of lights gets on which is loaded on
another contactor.

Example 16: When the switch is made ON it

makes a lamp L1 OFF which is previously ON.
When L1 gets OFF another lamp L2 gets ON
which is previously OFF.

Example 17: Lamp L2 is glowing previously.

Another lamp L1 should glow when any of the
switches S1, S2, S3, S4, and S5 is pressed.
Lamp L2 gets OFF when the lamp L1 glows.

Example 18: There are four hazard inputs to the

alarm system which get ON when the following
logics occurs:
a) If one input is ON, nothing happens to alarm.
b) If any two inputs are ON, a pilot light glows.
c) If any three inputs are ON, the pilot light goes OFF & an
alarm siren blows.
d) If all the four inputs are ON the fire department light
glows with this the alarm siren goes ON as well as the pilot
light also glows.
Example 19: When the switch S1 is made ON
the lamp B1 should glow.
When the switch S2 is made ON the lamp B2
should glow.
When the switch S3 is made ON the lamp B3
should glow.
When the switch S4 is made ON the entire lamp
should OFF And B4 get ON.

Example 20: When the switch S1 is made ON

the lamp B1 should glow.
When the switch S2 is made ON the lamp B2
should glow. When the switch S3 is made ON
the lamp B3 should glow.When the switch S4 is
made ON the entire lamp should OFF
And B4 gets OFF which was previously ON.

Example 21: Four proximity switches (P1, P2,

P3 and P4) are wired to a PLC. The status of
each proximity switch will be displayed in a
digital output depending up on the status of
another 2 select inputs.
Hints:-S1/S2: 0/0:- P1ON,
P1:-Proximity Switch 1
S1/S2: 0/1:-P2ON, P2:-Proximity Switch 2
S1/S2: 1/0:-P3ON, P3:-Proximity Switch 3
S1/S2:1/1:-P4ON, P4:-Proximity Switch 4
S1: SELECTED INPUT 1.
S2: SELECTED INPUT 2.

Example 22: 9 numbers of alarm inputs are

connected to a PLC. When an alarm comes to
the PLC, the alarm-input number will be
displayed by 4 digital outputs (4 bit binary
equivalent).
Hints:-INPUT
ALARM 1 I0.0=1
ALARM 2 I0.1=2
ALARM 3 I0.2=3
ALARM 4 I0.3=4
ALARM 5 I0.4=5
ALARM 6 I0.5=6
ALARM 7 I0.6=7
ALARM 8 I0.7=8
ALARM 9 I1.0=9
OUTPUT
BIT 1 Q0.0=20
BIT 2 Q0.1=21
BIT 3 Q0.2=22
BIT 4 Q0.3=23

Example 23: There are three fans for cooling

purpose of a system and the system is powered
through K1 contactor. For proper operation of
the system, any two fans, out of three, must
run. Write program to start the reserve fan
automatically in case of failure of any one of
the two running fans. If any two fans fail, the
incoming supply to the system (K1 contactor)
must be off.
Hints:-Use one Start switch to start the fans (if Start is ON
and all fans are healthy, Fan1 and Fan2 will start and Fan3
will be the reserve fan) and three fault switches for the
three fans.
