This paper contains 4 questions

Answer all questions from this paper.
This paper carries 100 marks.
Question 1
The packing system is illustrated in Figure Q1 and it consists of one conveyor, a heat-
sealing system and cutting system. It also consists of 1 sensor which is the temperature
sensor. There are also two buttons available to start and stop the system.
Figure Q1: Packing System
Table 1: Input and Output address assignment

Input Output
S0: 0.00 = Temperature Motor 1: 100.00
sensor (Packing conveyor)
S1:0.01= Start button Motor 2: 100.01
(Cutting system)
S2:0.02= Stop button Sealing system : 100.02
Use the process steps given below and the input and output address given in Table 1.

1. By pushing the START button system is activated. Packing conveyor starts. When the
photo-sensor detects the part, the conveyor stops.
2. Using the temperature sensor, the sealing system temperature is monitored and when
temperature is 60 degrees the sealing mechanism is activated using the compare
function. The sealing mechanism is activated for 10 sec and conveyor starts restarts.
3. Using the photoelectric sensor, when bit number 4 is reached using shift register the
cutting mechanism cuts the packaging. The cutter is activated for 5 sec and stopped.
4. Operations repeat until STOP key is pressed or until 10 count of the packing backs are
finished. Process restarts after STOP key is released.
a) Outline the automation cycle process using Ladder Diagram. Refer to Table 1 for
the components’ names and addresses.
[25 Marks]
b) Illustrate the processes in Q1(a) using Graphical User Interface (GUI).

Question 2
A drilling control operation system is illustrated in Figure Q2 and the system consists of
one control panel with various inputs, one motor driving the forward or reverse of the
machine, and an indication box with various outputs.
Figure Q2: Drilling Control Operation
Table 2: Input and Output Table
Input Device Output Device

0.00 Auto Switch 100.00 Auto Indicator
0.01 Manual 100.01 Manual Indicator
0.02 Forward Switch (SW1) 100.02 Motor Forward
0.03 Stop Switch (SW2) 100.03 Motor Reverse
0.04 Reverse Switch (SW3) 100.04 Auto Start Indicator
0.05 Limit Switch (LS1)
0.06 Limit Switch (LS2)
0.07 Auto Start Button (PBS)

Outline the ladder logic for steps given below with the input and output address given
in Table 2.
1. Manual Operation
a. When SW1 is ON, Motor moves forward. It can be stopped by SW2.
When the drill touches LS2, the Motor is cut-off.
b. When SW3 is ON, Motor moves in reverse. It can be stopped by SW2.
When the drill touches LS1, the Motor is cut-off.
[13 Marks]
2. Auto-cycle
a. When PB and LS1 is ON, the Motor moves forward until LS2 is activated.
The Timer then starts timing down. The Motor reverses when the timer
reaches 2 seconds. When it returns to LS1 position, the cycle is repeated.
[12 Marks]
3. Illustrate the processes in Q1(a) using Graphical User Interface (GUI). The CX-
Designer is used for the input and output.

Question 3
Figure Q2-i: Auto Brushing System
An Auto Brushing System shown in Figure Q2-i, the brush has to extend and retract.
Analyze the operation processes of the system. Then:
a) Draw the sequence above with proper format of flow chart.

[5 Marks]
b) Identifies the necessary components are needed of the system, by using Automation
Studio, develop the operation using only PNEUMATIC circuit diagram.
[12 Marks]
c) A pneumatic-powered gate system as shown in Figure Q2-ii which prefer a

manual control over the opening and closing operation. Utilize the pneumatic
system in (b) and identify the small modification need to be done in order to
automate the door opening and closing.
