PLC based Drink Dispenser System

Develop ladder logic program for PLC-based Drink Dispenser System according to the logic given below,

  1. Press the power button to activate the power supply as shown in the figure.
  2. Put manually glass (or a cup) on conveyor to hold up drink A/B/C as shown in the below figure.
  3. Press a one-button from A/B/C whatever you choose on the available types of drinks (It is toggle type switch).
  4. Press the start button from the local panel.
  5. The glass (or a cup) moves from limit switch 2 to 4 and stops the conveyor when glass reaches the appropriate limit switch, which we select from the A/B/C toggle switch.
  6. Glass (or a cup)  fill by drink A/B/C for 15 sec.(as per glass size) and conveyor again start-up to glass not reach limit switch -5.

Dispenser PLC Program



Program Description:

Rung 1:

I: 0.0 and I: 0.1 respectively start and stop press button to control the power supply with latch output.


Rung 2:

Put the glass on L1 (I:0.4) place, which is converted from NO to NC, Press the Drink selection button from A/B/C, respectively enable I:0.9/I:0.10/I:0.11.


Press the Start PB to enable NC (I:0.2) to start the conveyor (O:0.1) until any solenoid valve (O:0.2/O:0.3/O:0.4) not energized and Stop PB(I:0.3) not enable.


After completion of the filling process, conveyor again starts until not reach up to L5 place (I:0.8).


Rung 3:

Conveyor drives the glass up to L2 place as per selected drink type from A. enable the solenoid A (O:0.2) until timer (T:1.DN) bit not enable.


Rung 4:

Fill the drink A for 15 sec (assume constant as per glass size) start the Timer enable the SOV A up to 15 sec and respective timer down bit control the SOV ON/OFF (solenoid A (O:0.2)) state.


Rung 5:

Conveyor drives the glass up to L3 place as per selected drink type from B. enable the solenoid B (O:0.3) until timer (T:2.DN) bit not enable.


Rung 6:

Fill the drink B for 15 sec (assume constant as per glass size) start the Timer enable the SOV B up to 15 sec and respective timer down bit control the SOV ON/OFF (solenoid B (O:0.3)) state.


Rung 7:

Conveyor drives the glass up to L4 place as per selected drink type from C. enable the solenoid C (O:0.4) until timer (T:3.DN) bit not enable.

Rung 8:

Fill the drink C for 15 sec (assume constant as per glass size) start the Timer enable the SOV C up to 15 sec and respective timer down bit control the SOV ON/OFF (solenoid C (O:0.4)) state.

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...
