1. Using suitable diagram, explain DOWN counter instruction for PLC. (03 MARKS)
2. Explain OFF delay timer instruction for PLC with its timing diagram and suitable example. (04 MARKS)
3. Four outputs (Q, W, E and R) will be started when START push button is pressed. When STOP push button is pressed, Q and W will be stopped immediately. If STOP is pressed within 20 seconds of pressing START, then E will remain on for 5 seconds extra and R will remain on until another push button C is pressed (only if Q is not ON). But if STOP is pressed 20 seconds after pressing START, E will remain on until another push button D is pressed and R will be stopped immediately when Q is stopped. Develop and draw PLC ladder diagram to control the system. (07 MARKS)

Q.5

1. In automatic temperature control system of fluid is to be controlled by PLC. An electric heater is used. The heater is operated by 230 V, single phase, AC supply. A temperature sensor is used to measure temperature of fluid. The sensor output is 0V to 10V DC for the temperature range of 0°C to 100°C. The sensor output is linear with the change in temperature. There is a START (NO) pushbutton and a STOP (NC) pushbutton. The system operates as follow:
   • When START is pressed, initial temperature-will be recorded by PLC. - After 10 seconds, heater will turn ON and will remain ON for 1 minute.

   • After waiting for 5 seconds, heater will turn ON again.
   • The heater then will stop permanently when the temperature of the fluid exceeds 5 times than its initial temperature.
   • When STOP is pressed at any-time, heater will be stop and can be restarted only after 30 minutes by pressing START once again.
   Develop and draw ladder diagram and also draw connection of the system with PLC. The PLC works on 24 V DC supply and digital output terminals of the PLC gives 10 V-DC signal when output is energized by PLC. (03 MARKS)
2. Using suitable programming example, explain how two numbers are multiplied in PLC. (04 MARKS)

3. Using suitable diagrams, explain Jump within Jump operation in PLC ladder diagram. (07 MARKS)

OR

1. Explain fail safe connection of start and stop switches with PLC with suitable wiring and ladder diagram. (03 MARKS)
2. Explain data transfer (move) function in PLC. (04 MARKS)
3. Design PLC ladder diagram for the following equation (07 MARKS)
   

   --- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

   X=Y+2Y+3, Where X is analog output and Y is analog input.

1. Explain various number comparison functions available in PLC programming. (04 MARKS)
