Explain MAX instruction using example.
Application: -Understand the concept of MAX instruction in the PLC. Write the PLC program using ladder diagram language to understand the concept.

Explanation:-
Here we will understand the concept using an example.
MAX instruction is used to define MAX value out of two values. So this
instruction will compare two value and update the result in the output
register.
For example assume we want to show MAX value out of
two values. So we can take two values entry (MW10 and MW12 register for two
value entry) in the HMI and one output field for output (the result will be updated
in the MW14 register). In this entry field, we will enter two values here 50 and
60 so the output result will be 60.
PLC
program:-
Write the ladder program for MIN instruction using
ladder diagram language. Here for ladder logic, we can use any supported PLC
system like S7-1200, S7-1500, or any other PLC which can support this
instruction. In our application, we have used S7-1200 PLC for reference.

PLC
program Explanation:-
In network 1,
we have taken MAX instruction. Here we are entering 50 in the MW 50 and 60 in
the MW42 so the result will be updated in the MW 44 register. And it will be 60
