Basic fundamental of NO contact and NC contact

Application:-In electrical panel, operate green lamp with NO contact of relay and operate red lamp with NC contact of relay. Write PLC program using ladder diagram language.

 

Diagram:-Basic operation Machine ON lamp and OFF lamp electrical wiring diagram in the panel.








As shown in figure consider two lamps, red lamp is for machine OFF and green lamp is for machine ON. Once relay will get 24v dc machine ON signal, relay will be ON and green lamp will be ON. We have taken here NO contact for green lamp so supply will pass from C to NO as show in figure and if relay is OFF, supply will pass from C to NC so red lamp will be ON.


Components:-24V dc red lamp, 24V dc green lamp, 24V dc relay, wires, 24V dc source, Programmable Logic Controller


PLC program:-

We can write this logic in PLC also. We can use any PLC for this logic. For logic purpose consider Memory coils and outputs.

M coil:-

M0.0 (NO) =Green lamp ON

M0.0 (NC) =Red lamp ON

Outputs:-

Q0.0=Machine command

Q0.1=Green Lamp

Q0.2=Red lamp


 
PLC program:-
We can write this logic in PLC also. We can use any PLC for this logic. For logic purpose consider Memory coils and outputs.



PLC program explanation:-

In network 1 we have taken NO contact of machine command (Q0.0) so when machine command is ON, green lamp (Q0.1) will be ON.

In network 2 we have taken NC contact of machine command (Q0.0) so when machine is off, red lamp (Q0.2) will be ON.
