Start the Counting from a Preset Value in PLC

 

Write a plc program where there are boxes running by start-stop pushbuttons (PB) and there is a photocell sensor to count the number of boxes and there is a set pushbutton (PB) whenever it’s pressed the counter start counting from a preset value.

Note the best practice to learn the PLC programming is to start writing the PLC program, take your time before you review the answer.

 Inputs & outputs:

I0.0: Start Push Button (Normally Open contact)

I0.1: Stop Push Button (Normally Closed Contact)

I0.1: Set Push Button (Normally Open Contact)

Q0.0: conveyor

C1: Counter

Start the Counting from a Preset Value in PLC

PLC Logic Explanation

Network 01

When the Start PB has pressed the set coil of the SR flip flop is energized and the conveyor will run.

If the stop PB is pressed the reset coil of the SR flip flop is energized and the conveyor will stop.

Network 02

When the carton box passes by the photocell the count up coil of the counter C01 is energized and 1 count to the counter’s counts.

When the set PB has pressed the count value in the preset value PV will be moved to the counter’s counts.

When the stop PB is pressed the counter’s counts will be reset to 0.

What is a Torbar? – Averaging Pitot Tubes

 The Torbar is employed for flow measurement of liquids, gases, or steam in circular, square, or rectangular section ducts for large flow rates. The Torbar is an insertion type multi-port self-averaging primary sensor for flow measurement. Torbar TORBAR is a set of Pitot tubes mounted on a bar across the pipeline with no moving parts. An averaging Pitot tube is a technology, while TORBAR is a manufacturing brand name. There are several brands available in the market with VERABAR, ANNUBAR, etc. Averaging Pitot Tube Principle Purpose Averaging Pitot tube can be employed when the average velocity of the flow profile, rather than the velocity in a specific point in the cross-section is desired. Averaging Pitot Tubes Principle It measures the differential pressure between the static pressure tap and the tap of full pressure of a stream. Thus such magnitude of differential pressure is directly proportional to the square of the flow rate. Working The TORBAR is designed in such a way that ...

Ferrules and Cross Ferruling

 Ferrules are identification labels provided for every wire terminations in an instrument, equipment, or electrical/instrumentation control panels. These tube-shaped sleeves can be inserted easily on each individual wire in a multi-core cable. In earlier days fixed digits/letters are used as ferrules, but now Instrumentation engineers/technicians prints out desired ferrules by using a ferrule printing machine. Typical Ferrule The numbers/ letters on the ferrules will be given as per the approved electrical hook up or loop diagrams. This helps technicians to easily identify a particular loop/wiring from a series of terminal blocks and to troubleshoot the desired terminal connection. Separate numbers on the ferrules distinguish the positive and negative polarities of wires, thus ensure the polarity protection of the instrument. Cross Ferruling  As a wire is connected on its both ends, it is quite useful to use a cross reference method for wire identification. Unlike normal ferru...

Thermowell Insertion and Immersion Length

 The thermowell is the industrial housing for temperature elements like RTD or thermocouple or temperature gauges. Thermowell is directly exposed to process fluid/media. Inside the thermowell, element/gauge is installed. Thermowell transfers the heat to the temperature element. Depending upon the element type, the fluid temperature can be known. So Thermowell protects the temperature element against harsh conditions and process fluid. It enables removal of the temperature element for replacement, repair, or testing without affecting the process system. Generally, thermowells are provided with all-temperature Elements like RTD or Thermocouple or temperature gauge. A few exceptions would be bearing RTD, skin type thermocouple, air duct thermometer, etc where thermowell is not applicable / required. When the thermowell assembly is inserted into the pipe, it is subjected to vibration. This vibration is caused by vortices to be generated alternately on either side of the thermowell. The...
