    Motor Forward and Reverse Direction Control Using A PLC

    This document describes how to control the direction of a motor forward and reverse using a programmable logic controller (PLC). It involves connecting inputs like forward, reverse, and stop buttons to the PLC. The PLC outputs control circuits that change the motor's polarity to switch the direction. The ladder logic program uses temporary variables and timers to cut power for 10 seconds when changing directions, allowing the motor to fully stop before engaging the new direction. This ensures safe switching of the motor's rotation from forward to reverse or vice versa when a user presses the buttons.

    Motor forward and reverse direction control

    using a PLC.

    AIM
    To achieve motor forward and reverse direction control using a PLC.
    PROCEDURE
    In our experiment, we wish to change the direction of motor rotation by
    click of a push button, using a PLC.
    Let us see the basic diagram of the circuitry:

    Ladder logic design


    Now, let us see how the ladder logic of motor forward and reverse
    direction control is implemented using a PLC.
    Inputs to the PLC are:
    Stop ( normally open push button )
    Forward (normally open push button )
    Reverse (normally open push button )
    Outputs to the PLC are:
    Motor forward circuit.
    Motor reverse circuit
    Forward (LED)
    Reverse (LED)
    Forward slow (LED)
    Reverse slow (LED)
    Note : Motor forward circuit (forwardmtr) and Motor reverse circuit
    (reversemtr) is a circuit, which is connected to the motor, which changes
    the supply polarity , which is fed to the motor. In return, changes the
    direction of motor rotation.
    Since the inputs and outputs are less, 8-point input module and 8
    point output module is sufficient, where CPU resides in slot 0, input
    module resides in slot 1 and output module in slot 2.
    Let us assign the address for the input and output signals of the
    PLC:
    Stop (normally open push button ) : I:1/0
    Forward (normally open push button) : I:1/1
    Reverse (normally open push button) : I:1/2
    Temp1(temporary variable) : O:2/0
    forwardmtr ( Motor forward circuit ) : O:2/1
    Temp2(temporary variable) : O:2/2
    Forward (LED) : O:2/3
    reversemtr (Motor reverse circuit ) : O:2/4
    Reverse (LED) : O:2/5
    Forwardslow (LED) : O:2/6
    Reverseslow (LED) : O:2/7

    Let us see its ladder logic diagram:

    Note : Here, the motors breaking is natural breaking. So when the


    motors direction in changed, it cannot instantly change its direction.
    When motors supply is cut down, it will have a natural breaking, during
    which its speed reduces and finally comes to rest. Our assumption is
    that, the motor takes 7 seconds to completely stop. So when the motor
    is instructed to change direction by the user, PLC cuts off its supply, till it
    comes to rest and then, it changes its direction, using the direction
    changing circuits ( forwardmtr, reversemtr ) . In order to be on the safer
    side, an off-delay timer of 10 seconds ( greater than 7 seconds) is used,
    to activate the motor direction changing circuits.

    a)

    The above rungs are used for the forward motor direction rotation.
    b)

    The above rung is executed when the motor is instructed to change


    direction from forward to reverse, or from forward to stop.

    c)

    The above rungs are used for the reverse motor direction rotation.
    d)

    The above rung is executed when the motor is instructed to change


    direction from reverse to forward, or from reverse to stop.
