NORM_X AND SCALE_X value scaling in the S7-1200 PLC

Application: - NORM_X and SCALE_X instructions. Explain the instruction using an example. Write the PLC program using a ladder diagram language.

Explanation

Generally, NORM_X and SCALE_X guidelines are utilized for scaling the worth or we can utilize this guidance in simple value scaling.

By utilizing NORM_X guidance we can standardize the genuine incentive in more slender scale inside the value range.

For instance here the info range is 0 to 27648 and this value should be standardized indirect scaled value range from 0.0 to 1.0.

After this standardization of the worth, we can utilize this output as an information estimation of the SCALE_X guidance. This guidance maps the incentive in the required range (here 0 to 100).

These directions for the most part utilized in Siemens S7-1200 PLC.

PLC program:-

Write the ladder program for the above application using ladder diagram language. Here for ladder logic, we can use any supported PLC system like S7-1200, S7-300, S7-1500, or any other PLC which can support this instruction. For PLC logic we need digital inputs and outputs.

Define the memory register for the program as per the following address,

List of M Memory

MW10:-For analog value (0 to 27648).

MW12:-Out of NORM_X

MW14:-Output value

 

PLC program Explanation:-

In network 1, we used NORM_X instruction for input value conversion. So input value will be converted from 0.0 to 1.0 scale range.

 

In network 2, we used SCALE_X instruction to convert NORM_X value into output. So the value will be converted into range 0 to 100 from 0.0 to 1.0

 

Explain Leak testing System using example.

Application:-Make a leak test system. Write PLC program for leak test system using ladder diagram language.

Diagram:-

Explanation:-

As per the above application, there is one pipe in the system. We need to check its leakage by applying pressure up to 4- 5 bar. For leakage testing, the first pipe will be put into the fixture and one side pipe will be blocked completely. From the other side, the pressure will be applied.

The transmitter will read the pressure. Once the pressure achieved into the pipe, the system will close the inlet pressure valve and hold pressure into the pipe. If there is no pressure drop for 1 minute, the pipe is ok and if the pressure drop measured during 1 minute, the pipe is leaked.

PLC program:-

Write the ladder program for the above application using ladder diagram language. Here for ladder logic, we can use any supported PLC system like S7-1200, S7-300, S7-1500 or any other PLC which can support this instruction. For PLC logic we need digital inputs and outputs.

Digital inputs:-

Start Button=I0.0

Digital Output:-

Inlet Valve=Q0.0

Ok lamp=Q0.1

M Memory:-

MD24= Set Pressure

MD20=Actual Pressure

Network 1:-Inlet valve for air supply

 

Network 2:-Inlet valve reset when pressure achieved

Network 3:-Indication timer for ok pipe

PLC program Explanation:-

In network 1, the inlet valve (Q0.0) will on when the start button (I0.0) is pressed. Here we used set coil so the output will be set after the start button pressed.

In network 2, the inlet valve will be off when Actual pressure (MD20) is greater or equal to set pressure (MD24).

In network 3, if the pressure will not drop from the pipe for 60 seconds, ok indication lamp will be on.

Explain increment instruction in the PLC using example.

Explain increment instruction in the PLC using an example.

Application:-Understand the concept of increment instruction in the PLC. Write the PLC program using a ladder diagram language to understand the concept.

Diagram:-

Explanation:-

The increment instruction is used to add value.it will add 1 in input/output value. Generally, this instruction is used to increment the value of the application. For example, if you want to count value periodically. Example purpose we have taken here HMI so the user can enter value and instruction will increment the value.

So for that, we can take the input/output register for example. Here MW 20 is the input/output register.

PLC program:-

Write the ladder program for NEG 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.

M Memory:-

Input/output value:-MW20

Network 1:- INC instruction operation

 

PLC program Explanation:-

In network 1, we have taken increment instruction. So 1 value will be added into MW 20 register. Hence IN/OUT+1=IN/OUT
