This document describes an experiment to develop a ladder logic program for controlling a water tank level using a programmable logic controller (PLC). The program is designed to turn a pump on when the water level is below a lower limit and turn it off when the water level exceeds an upper limit. The ladder logic diagram uses the states of two level switches as inputs to control the pump output. By developing and testing the ladder program, the experiment successfully achieved level control of the water tank.

AIM :- Develop/ test ladder program for tank water level control.

APPARATUS :- Hardware required :- Allen Bradely , connecting wires etc.

Software Required : - RS Logics 500

THEORY :-

A Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is a solid state/computerized industrial controller that


performs discrete or sequential logic in a factory environment. It was originally developed to replace
Mechanical relays, timers and counters. PLCs are used successfully to execute complicated control
operations in a plant. A sequence instruction is programmed by the user to the PLC memory and
when the programmed is executed, the controller operates a system to the correct operating
specifications. “Digital electronic device that uses a programmable memory to store instructions and
to implement specific functions such as logic, sequence, timing, counting and arithmetic operations
to control machines and processes”.
Procedure:-

1. Open the RS software

2. Switch On the PLC trainer kit

3. Open the New file

4. draw the ladder diagram and give than their addresses

5. configure the I/O

6. download the ladder

7. Run the Program.

8. Give force or press the push buttons and observe the output.

PROBLEM STATEMENT :-

The level control system of a water tank has two level switches Ls , and Ls as shown

In the fig. such that when level >L1 (value of lower limiting level) Ls, is ON i.e. output of Ls = 1 and
when level > L2 (value of upper limiting level) Ls , id ON i.e. the output of Ls = 1. Design a ladder
diagram to achieve the following objective

(1) When the water level < L, turn the pump ON


(2) When the water level > L, turn the pump OFF

The control of the problem is of the ON/OFF type and L1,L2 is the differential gap

TO. develop the ladder diagram , the logic may be stated as follow:

If Ls1 = 0 and Ls2 = 0 , then turn the turn the pump remain ON.

When the water level > L1, Ls1 = 1 and Ls2 = 0, the pump remains ON

When the water level > L2, Ls1 = 1 and Ls2 = 1, the pump is OFF

Now the water level start decreasing, When the water level is such that Ls1<L<Ls2

Ls1=1 and Ls2= 0,the pump remain OFF.

Thus, the logic may be developed as given below:

(1) LS1 = 0, Ls2 =0, pump = 1


(2) Ls1 = 1, Ls2 = 1, pump = 1
(3) Ls1 = 1, Ls2 = 0, if pump = 1, pump should be 1

, if pump = 0, pump should be 0

The inputs and outputs are as follows:

Inputs: Output: pump O:0/2

Start switch I:0/11

Stop switch I:0/12

B 3/12 is bit number 12 of binary fill. the bit is used for temporary storage of Rung 1 output status.

The ladder diagram is shown below :


RESULT:-

Henced we successfully developed and executed a ladder program to test the start/stop.
