    PLC - 6 (Latching, Multiple Outputs)

    Uploaded by

    A latching circuit maintains an output even after the input is removed. It uses feedback so that closing the input contact also closes an output contact, forming an OR logic gate with the input contact. This allows the output to remain energized even if the input contact opens. Latching circuits are commonly used to keep a motor running after a start button is released. Multiple outputs can also be produced from a single ladder logic rung, with each output occurring only when its corresponding input contact closes in sequence.

    Latching

    • There are often situations where it is necessary to hold an


    output energised, even when the input ceases.
    • A simple example of such a situation is a motor which is
    started by pressing a push button switch. Though the switch
    contacts do not remain closed, the motor is required to
    continue running until a stop push button switch is pressed.
    The term latch circuit is used for the circuit used to carry out
    such an operation.
    • It is a self-maintaining circuit in that, after being energised,
    it maintains that state until another input is received.
    Latching

    • An example of a latch circuit is shown in Fig.


    • When the input A contacts close,
    there is an output. However, when
    there is an output, another set of
    contacts associated with the
    output closes. These contacts form
    an OR logic gate system with the
    input contacts. Thus, even if the
    input A opens, the circuit will still
    maintain the output energised. The
    only way to release the output is
    by operating the normally closed
    contact B.

    However, when there is an

    • X401 is closed when the program is started.


    When X400 is momentarily closed, Y430 is
    energised and its contacts close. This results
    in latching and also the switching off of
    Y431 and the switching on of Y432. To
    switch the motor off, X401 is pressed and
    opens. Y430 contacts open in the top rung
    and third rung, but close in the second rung.
    Thus Y431 comes on and Y432 off.

    • Latching is widely used with diagram. Note that the stop contacts X401
    start-ups so that the initial are shown as being programmed as open. If
    switch on of an application the stop switch used is normally closed then
    X401 receives a start-up signal to close. This
    becomes latched on. gives a safer operation than programming
    X401 as normally closed
    Multiple Outputs

    • With ladder diagrams, there can be more than one output


    connected to a contact. Fig. shows a ladder program with
    two output coils. When the input contacts close both the
    coils give outputs
    Multiple Outputs

    • For the ladder rung shown in Fig., output A occurs when


    input A occurs. Output B only occurs when both input A
    and input B occur.
    Multiple Outputs

    • For the ladder rung shown in Fig., output A occurs when


    input A occurs. Output B only occurs when both input A
    and input B occur.

    • Such an arrangement enables a sequence of outputs to be


    produced, the sequence being in the sequence with which
    contacts are closed.
    Multiple Outputs

    • Fig. illustrates this with the same ladder program in


    Mitsubishi and Siemens notations.
    Multiple Outputs

    • Outputs A, B and C
    are switched on as
    the contacts in the
    sequence given by
    the contacts A, B and
    C are being closed.
    Until input A is
    closed, none of the
    other outputs can be
    switched on.
    • When input A is closed, output A is switched on. Then,
    when input B is closed, output B is switched on. Finally,
    when input C is closed, output C is switched on.
