What Is PLC ?
 PLC is an industrial computer designed for multiple input and output
arrangements.
 It is capable of storing the instruction to implement control function such as
sequencing, timing, counting, arithmetic , data manipulation and
communication
 The PLC receives information from connected sensors or input devices,
processes the data, and triggers outputs based on pre-programmed parameter
 PLC are widely used in a variety of industries because they are fast, easy to
operate, and considered easy to program.
History Of PLC
 The first PLC, model 084, was invented by dick Morley in 1969
the modicon 084, is considered the father of PLC.
 The first commercial successful PLC, the 184, was introduced in
1973 and was designed by Michael green berg.
 Earlier it was a machine with thousands of electronic parts.
Various Brand Of PLC
 Allen Bradley USA
 Siemens Germany
 Modicon France
 Omron Japan
 IDEC Japan
Major Components Of Plc
How Does a PLC operates ?
 A plc’s operation is broken down into three stages: inputs, program execution,
and outputs.
 PLC capture data from the plant floor by monitoring inputs from any
connected machines or devices.
 These inputs are checked against the program logic, which changes the outputs
to any connected output devices.
 It is possible to have the same machine connected to both inputs and outputs
on the same plc, such as a valve position sensor connected to the inputs with
the control of that valve position connected to the outputs.
 A program could read the current position of that valve, check to see if it
needs to move, then move the valve position with the output.
Programming Language Of Plc
 Ladder logic
 Functional block diagram
 Sequential function chart
 Boolean mnemonics
Ladder Logic
 Ladder logic is a programming language that represents a program by a
graphical diagram based on the circuit diagrams of relay logic hardware.
 The main ladder logic symbol
NO
NC
COIL
Basic Important Parts Of Ladder Diagram In
PLC Programming
1. Rungs
2. Branches
3. Inputs and Outputs for PLC programming
4. Addressing Inputs and Outputs
5. Instructions
Ladder Logic Structure
 Vertical lines are called rails and the horizontal line are called rungs .
PLC Instruction
 PLC Input Instruction (on/off input instruction, pulse, analog,
encoder and data instruction)
 PLC Output Instruction (on/off ,pulse, analog, encoder instruction)
 PLC Timer Instruction(on-delay ,off-delay ,pulse timer instruction)
 PLC Counter Instruction (UP, Down counter and UP/Down
counter)
 PLC Data Manipulation Instruction(Arithmetic Instruction, data
move instruction, compare .
 PLC Program Control Instruction(jump , call, return, repeat
instruction)

Ladder Logic Program For Start/Stop Of Motor
Develop A Ladder Logic For tank filling
In this example we have taken two feeding tanks and we will fill
tank as per priority. Hence we will fill tank 1 first if booth the tanks
are detected empty.
List of Inputs
I1 :- Start PB
I2 :- Stop PB
I3 :- Tank 1 low level sensor (LL)
I4 :- Tank 1 high level sensor (HL)
I5 :- Tank 2 low level sensor (LL)
I6 :- Tank 2 high level sensor (HL)
List of Outputs
Q1 :- Cycle ON
Q2 :- Tank 1 feeding valve
Q3 :- Tank 2 feeding valve
Advantages and disadvantages
 Reliability
 Flexibility in programming and reprogramming
 Small physical size
 High speed of operation
 Ease of maintenance/troubleshooting
 Reduced space
 Energy saving
Disadvantages
 PLC can be complex to program and maintain
 Fixed circuit operation
 PLC are generally most cost-effective.
Application
 Whenever automation is desired the plc are best few examples of industries
where PLC are used
1. Robot manufacturing and control
2. Car park control
3. Train control station system
4. Food processing
MECHATRONICS
INTRODUCTION TO MECHATRONICS
 The word mechatronics is composed of "mecha" from mechanical
and the "tronics" from electronics.
Mechanical+ Electronics = Mechatronics
"Mecha" + "tronics" = Mechatronics
 The term "Mechatronics" was coined by Tetsuro Mori, a senior

Japanese engineer at Yasakawa Company in 1969.
Automated Storage And Retrieval Plant
Mechatronics is a technical training tool that deals with complex
system and has arises in combination with of
 Mechanical building
 Electronics
 Control engineering and
 Computer / software engineering.
The project develop according to the model of complete operation
and cover the training areas
 Mechanical
 Assembly
 Electro-pneumatics
 PLC programming
 Commissioning
Advantages
 Mechatronic systems provide the increased productivity in

manufacturing organization.
 Increase efficiency
 Flexible design
Disadvantages
 High Initial cost
 Need of highly trained workers
 Complexity in identification an correction of problems in

the system
Applications
 Smart consumer products
 Medical
 Defense
 Manufacturing
 Automotive
