Q.3 (a) Using suitable diagram, explain remote I/O modules of PLC. Also give advantages and disadvantages of remote I/O modules. 07
(b) Explain UP counter instruction for PLC. 03
(c) Give FBD program for two inputs EX-OR gate. 04
OR
Q.4 (a) There are two machines M1 and M2. Each machine has a separate start push button. There is one master stop push-button. The system can be started only by starting of M1. While the system is running, start of one motor will stop the other running motor (that means only one motor will run at a time). When master stop push button is pressed, both the motors will stop. Write Instruction List program for PLC to control this process. 07
