CW and CCW Operation of Motor from Same Push button

Write a PLC program that if you pressed the push button (PB) for the first time then the motor should run in a clockwise (CW) direction and if pressed again it runs in counter-clockwise (CCW) direction and so on until the stop PB is pressed.

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: Push Button (Normally open contact)

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

Q0.0: Motor_CW direction

Q0.1: Motor_CCW direction

M0.0: marker_01 for positive edge.

M0.1: marker_02 for negative edge.

M0.2: marker_03 for negative edge.

M0.3: marker_04 for negative edge.

CW and CCW Operation of Motor from Same Push button

PLC Logic Explanation

When the push_button is pressed for the first time, the set bit in the Motor_CW SR flip flop is energized by a positive_trigger(to ensure it is energized for one scan cycle).

When the push_button is released the motor_CW flip flop is still on.

When the push_button is pressed for the second time the reset bit in the motor_CW is energized as it is the negative trigger of the Push_button normally closed bit and the normally open of motor_CW bit.

Then the set bit in Motor_CCW SR flip flop is energized as it is the negative trigger of the normally closed bit of push_button and the motor_CW.

When the Push_button is released the motor_CCW is still on.

When the push_button is pressed again the reset bit in the motor_CCW is energized and the set bit in the motor_CW is energized and so on.

If the stop push button is pressed any time the motor would stop.

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...
