Q.1 (a) Explain any three advantages of PLC. 03
(b) Explain scan cycle of PLC using suitable diagram. 04
(c) Draw the block diagram of PLC and explain the same in detail. 07
Q.2 (a) Give Instruction List (IL) program for the following Boolean equation.
X=D(A+B+C)
Where X=digital output,
A, B, C and E are digital inputs.
03
(b) Give the list of any three devices which can be used to give input to the PLC
from a plant. Also draw wiring diagram showing connections of these devices
to PLC.
04
(c) Explain AC output card for PLC using suitable diagram. 07
OR
(c) Using suitable diagram, explain remote I/O modules of PLC. Also give
advantages and disadvantages of remote I/O modules.
07
Q.3 (a) Explain UP counter instruction for PLC. 03
(b) Give FBD program for two inputs EX-OR gate. 04
(c) 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
OR
Q.3 (a) Explain latching relay instruction used in FBD programming of PLC using its
truth table.
03
(b) Explain PULSE timer instruction of PLC using timing diagram. 04
(c) Write a detailed note on SFC programming of PLC using suitable example. 07
Q.4 (a) Explain PLC data MOVE function. 03
(b) A fan is to be started and stopped from any one of three locations. Each location
has separate start and stop push buttons. Construct a ladder diagram to control
this operation.
04
(c) Using suitable diagram, explain analog input module of PLC. 07
OR
Q.4 (a) Explain PLC SKIP function. 03
(b) There are three machines. Each machine has a separate start and stop
pushbuttons. Only one machine should run at a time. Develop PLC ladder
diagram to control this operation.
04
(c) Explain various number comparison functions in PLC. 07
Q.5 (a) List and explain environmental factors that may have effects on PLC operation. 03
