Hi, my friends. Welcome to share a new tutorial in our ladder logic programming series. Today we will discuss counters in ladder logic programming using an expert’s view. So let’s wear the glasses of an expert in ladder logic programming and look deeply into counters, the types of counters, their variables and bits. In addition, techniques of using counters to solve a different kinds of problems that need counting. And without questions like every time, we will enjoy practicing programming and simulating all about counters. So with no further delay, let’s jump into our tutorial and nail that c ...
Believing in the essence of timers in ladder logic programming, we come today with a new tutorial in which we are going to show you all about timers, the types of timers, what’s inside timers’ block of parameters, variables, and bits. In addition, techniques for using timers will be explored, and for sure, we are going to practice what we learn using the simulator. So let’s get started with our tutorial.
Timers in ladder logic programming
Guys, this is not the first time we’ve talked about timers. However, this time we are going to look into timers deeply and use the glasses of practical app ...
The traffic light is one of the most important applications we see everyday everywhere we go back and forth. Controlling traffic signs was managed by people which was very problematic and headache on travelers and the officers as well. But nowadays, most traffic lights are controlled by automatic control systems. The brain that handles the complicated logic behind the traffic light control system is a PLC and one programmer like you guys has written its logic. So today we have come back to enjoy programming such a critical and large project by using ladder logic programming and for sure will a ...
Hello my friends! I hope your doing very good. Today we are going to practice what we have learnt through the ladder logic tutorial series. We bring a new .project which is mostly exist in our daily life that is electrical door control. in garage for domestic and public garage, you should found automatic garage gate or door that is controlled by the PLC ladder logic program. So today we are going to implement the project including determining the input and output components, design the logic, programming and testing using the simulator.
Project details
Figure 1 shows the project’s components ...
Hi friends, today we are going to learn one of the most important instructions in the PLC ladder which is MOVE instruction by which we can move data between different memory storage including input, output, marker, and variables. Also, data of different data types and sizes can be transferred from source to destination and source memory locations. For example data types including char, string, integer, floating, time and date can be transferred between source and destination. Memory location like input, output, and marker memory area can be acting as source or destination. Furthermore, a mask ...
Hello friends, all of us know that PLCs are nothing but the smartest migration from relay logic control to programmable logic control. Also, you know clearly that, logic is the heart of any programming language, and the same is applied to ladder logic programming. Bitwise operators represent the logical operations including the basic logical operations like AND, OR, and NOT and the derived logical operations like NAND, NOR, and XOR. in most cases, for each bitwise operator, there are inputs based on which the output can be decided. Some of these bitwise operators have two inputs and some have ...
