Double acting Cylinder Forword/reverse operation using PLC.

 Double acting Cylinder Forword/reverse operation using PLC.           

This is the PLC program for double acting cylinder operation using PLC.                                                              

Although writing a PLC program in Double acting cylinder is a highly technical process, it can be understood in simple language:

Problem Description: -

We need to operate double acting cylinder using PLC. Write the PLC program using ladder diagram language and draw pneumatic circuit.

 

Problem Diagram: -

Solution: -

Here we need to operate double acting cylinder with PLC. As show in figure we took two push buttons for forward and reverse operation. PLC is used to control the outputs. We used double solenoid direction control valve for forward and reverse operation of the cylinder. Once user will press forward button, cylinder will move forward and if user presses reverse button, cylinder will move reverse.

Here we used PLC for output control so need to write program in PLC according to application.

 Program

Here is PLC program for making forward/reverse cylinder operation using PLC.

 

List of Inputs/Outputs

List of Inputs

X0: -Cylinder Forward

X1: -Cylinder Reverse

List of Outputs

Y0: -Cylinder Forword

Y1: -Cylinder Reverse

 

Ladder Diagram for forward/reverse operation of double acting cylinder.

Program Description: -

-        In first rung we have used NO contact of the Cylinder forward push button (X0) so Cylinder forward (Y0) output can be operated with the forward push button (X0).

-        In first rung we have used NO contact of the Cylinder reverse push button (X1) so Cylinder reverse (Y1) output can be operated with the reverse push button (X1).
