    This document provides examples of PLC programs that use counters, math instructions, comparisons, and timers to control various processes. The examples include programs for a paper making mixing tank, controlling the heating of a liquid in a tank, converting between Fahrenheit and Celsius temperatures, using a one-shot instruction to display timer output, recording time using a 24-hour clock, implementing a circuit using one internal timer, and using subtraction to indicate when a vessel is overfilled.

    Example Paper Making Process
    A process with logic, timers, compare and math is a mixing tank for
    making paper. The process works as follows:
    1. A tank is filled to medium level with water.
    2. The tank continues to fill with water and paper is added through a
    loss-in-weight feeder.
    3. A stirrer starts as soon as the paper begins to be added and
    continues until a batch is made and dumped and the level falls to the
    low level.
    4. The water finishes when the high level is reached and the paper
    finishes being added.
    5. The water and paper continue to be mixed until the paper is
    thoroughly mixed into a slurry by use of a timer.
    6. The tank is emptied by pumping the mixture out of the tank until
    the low level switch is reached. Then the process of making a new
    batch begins again.
    The most difficult part of the program is the control of the loss-in-
    weight feeder. The number is read as an integer and may be at any
    value in a range. The program is to start at this value, turn on an
    output and watch the number representing the weight decrement a set
    amount and turn off the output.
    Example Controlling heating process for the liquid in the tank.
    Implement PLC program for this application using ladder diagram
    language.
    Problem Solution
    • In this system we will consider S7-300 PLC and TIA portal
    software for programming.
    • In this system two sensors are used for level measurement
    in the tank, heater is used for material heating purpose in
    the tank.
    • We used temperature sensor (it can
    be RTD or thermocouple) also for temperature
    measurement in the tank.
    • Two valves are used for material inlet and outlet. Inlet
    valve is used for feeding the tank and outlet valve for
    discharging the tank.
    • If system detects low level, system will start to feed the
    tank. Feeding cycle will be OFF when tank will detect high
    level. After high level system will start heating process till
    set temperature.
    Example the program inputs a temperature measurement of 138 deg F
    and calculates the equivalent temperature of 58.89 deg C:

    Note use compute CPT (AB) / Calculate (Siemens) instruction


    Example Figure 8-19 shows a one-shot instruction used to send data to
    an output LED display. The one-shot allows the rapidly changing
    accumulated time from the timer to be frozen to ensure a readable, stable
    display.
    Example The 24-hour clock can be used to record the time of an event.
    Figure illustrates the principle of this technique. In this application the
    time of the opening of a pressure switch is to be recorded.
    Example Figure shows the program required to implement the circuit
    using only one internal timer.
    Example The program of Figure 11-7 shows how the SUB function
    can be used to indicate a vessel overfill condition. This application
    requires an alarm to sound when a supply system leaks 5 lb or more
    of raw material into the vessel after a preset weight of 500 lb has
    been reached.
