Up Counter Instruction In PLC

Up Counter Description :

• Count Up Instruction Use to Increment the Value at Output CV.

• Count Up Input Changes from 0 to 1 (Positive Signal Edge) Current Counter Value Increment at Output CV.
• Counter Value Increment Each Time When Positive Signal Edge Is Detected.
• When Counter High Limit Reached, the Signal State at the CU Input no longer effect on the Count up Instruction.
• Current Counter Value is Greater than or Equal to the Value of the PV Parameter the Output Q is set to Signal State 1.
• When the Signal State at Input R Changes from 0 to 1 the Value at CV Output is Reset to Zero. 

Up Counter Parameters :

Parameter	Declaration	Data type	Description
CU	Input	BOOL	Count input
R	Input	BOOL	Reset input
PV	Input	Integers	Value at which the output Q is set.
Q	Output	BOOL	Counter status
CV	Output	Integers, CHAR, WCHAR, DATE	Current counter value

Up Counter Example :

Up Counter

• When the Signal State of the TAG_1 Changes From 0 to 1, the Count Up Instruction is executed at and the Current Counter Value of the CV Value is Incremented by one.
• Counter Value is Incremented until the High Limit of the Specified Data Type (INT= 32768) is Reached.
• When Current Counter Value is Greater than or equal to Zero the value of the PV Value Output Tag_3 Signal State 1.
• In all other cases, the Output TAG_3 has Signal State 0.
• When the Signal State at Input TAG_2 Changes from 0 to 1 the Value at CV Output is Reset to Zero.

• When PT Time Equal to Elapsed Time Output Change From 0 to 1 (Output ON).
• Output Remain On as long as Input is ON.
• When Input Change from 1 to 0 Output change from 1 to 0 (Output OFF).
• Timer Starts when new positive edge detect at input side.
• Current Time Store at ET Output.
• TON Timer Starts at Set PT Time and ends when PT Time Equal to ET Time.
•  ET Output Reset when input changes from 1 to 0.

TON Timer Parameters :

Parameters	Declaration	Description
IN	Input	Start input
PT	Input	Duration of the on-delay
Q	Output	Output that is set when the time PT expires
ET	Output	Current time value

• When PT Time Completed Motor Changes From 0 to 1 (Motor ON).
• Motor set to on as long as Start PB ON.
• When Start PB Change from 1 to 0 Motor change from 1 to 0 (Motor OFF).

Pulse Timer Description

Pulse Timer Description :

• Pulse Timer instruction to set the output for a programmed duration.
• Input Changes From 0 to 1 (positive signal edge) PT time start when timer start.
• Output set for the duration of PT time start.
• If new positive edge detects output is not affect when PT time running.
• Current time value store at ET Output.
• Timer Starts at set PT Time and ends when the value of the time reach at PT.
• PT Time elapsed and Input Change From 0 to 1 and Output change from 1 to 0.

Pulse Timer Parameters :

Parameters	Declaration	Description
IN	Input	Start input
PT	Input	Set time value
Q	Output	Pulse output
ET	Output	Current time value

1	1	1

PLC Exclusive-NOR Logic :

• When Input A and Input B both are on then upper branch provide result output 1.
• When input A and Input B both are not activated then lower branch provide output 1.
• When Input A activated then output 0.
• When Input B activated then output 0.

NOR Gate Logic in PLC

PLC NOR Gate

• We representing a NOR Logic Gate with two Inputs A and B.

NOR Gate

• NOR Gate provide same result is to put NOT gate on each Input and Follow with AND Gate for resulting inverted inputs.

NOR Gate Truth Table :

Inputs		Output

1	1	0

PLC NOR Logic :

• Ladder diagram starts with a normally close set of contact Input A and Input B with series with output.
• There is no input provide to Input A and Input B so contacts are closed an output on.
• There is Input provide to Input A and Input B so contacts open an output off.
