Exercise

1)Write a program such that when the start push button pb1 is pressed a motor starts rotating in the
forward direction and gets latched. When a stop pushbutton push button pb2 is pressed motor gets off.
When another start push button pb3 is pressed motor starts rotating in the reverse direction and gets
latched. When pb2 (stop pushbutton) is pressed the motor gets off. Here interlocking should be such
that the motor must be stopped by the stop push button pb2 before changing its direction of motion.

2)Write a program such that when a start push button pb1 is pressed a motor starts rotating in star
connection for 15 sec and then changes to delta connection. The motor stops rotating after 5 sec of
pressing the stop push button. The motor should be immediately stopped in case there is overload or an
earth fault occurs or an emergency push button is pressed.

3)The following logic is designed for an office store room which is situated in between two corridors
(corridor-1 as C1 and corridor-2 as C2) inside an office building there are two doors each one from the
corridors (means door D1 for C1 and door D2 for C2) to enter inside the room. If any of the doors is
opened (means either D1 or D2) other door will not be opened at any circumstances. When any of the
doors is open two bulbs B1 and B2 and one fan F1 gets on. When both the doors are closed, both the
bulbs and the fan will off and an indicator will be there at the top of the both door (means I1 for D1 and
I2 for D2) indicating that no one is present inside the room. Write this program in LAD and STL

4)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 a 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 must off and an alarm must glow.

Hint: Use one start switch to start the fans and three fault switches for the three fans.
5)Three pumps are to be monitored. If all three pumps are running an indicator should glow steadily, if
any two pumps are running the indicator should flash slowly and if only one pump is running then the
indicator flashes at faster rate.

6)After a count a count of 15 objects from a sensor a paint spray machine is to run for 25 seconds. In
between 25 sec the paint spray machine paints all the 15 objects and waits for next 15 objects. The
count of the object and the running of spray machine should run automatically when a start switch is
made on. After running of spray machine for 25 sec the counter should start counting from the beginning
for next 15 objects. The counting period between two objects is 1 sec.

8) An overhead tank is filled by water via external motor system. The tank possesses two level
sensors. When the level of water falls below 10% of the tank capacity, the motor starts automatically.
When the level of water goes above 95 % then the motor stops. Write a program in STL.
9) There is a sensor when a sensor senses, output gets ON after 15 seconds. When the same sensor
senses again, the same output gets OFF after 10 seconds. At any moment the program can be stopped
by emergency stop push button.
10) Items passing along two feeder conveyors are detected by photo cell and counted. When a
batch is completed which is made of 6 items of feeder conveyor-1 and 8 items of feeder
conveyor-2, the corresponding conveyor stopped. After 30 sec. of stopping of two conveyors,
Main conveyor started and run for 50 sec. When a batch complete light is lit for the operator to
remove the batch. A restart button sets the sequence running again
