You are the best education canal on UA-cam environment ever. Thank you so much that you have been giving a knowledge about PLC and basic mechanisms of automation industries to people.
Hi Peter, Thanks a lot for your kind compliment! We are always extremely happy to hear such positive feedback! If you ever have any questions, feel free to reach out to us. Happy learning!
Your stop puch button is NC type so Input %I0.0 will change the contact to No so you have to place NO contact in first so that NC is normally closed gives the input to %0.0 and the contact will change to NC which allows the circuit to complete .
Hi . This is my first video i have seen. I have a simple note to the plc diagram, if you used a simple Normally closed push button for stop button , then you need to make the logical stop button in the plc diagram to ( Examen ON ) not (OFF ) to make the diagram works .
That's a very good catch. If we assume no hardware changes as the control panel devices get wired to PLC inputs/outputs, the physical contact on the STOP button would be normally closed and open when pushed. As such, you would want the PLC code for the STOP button to be an open contact. The closed physical contact would hold the logic true at that point until the button is pressed.
FYI, this wiring diagram is European. North American wiring diagram the diagram is vertical instead of horizontal, hence called ladder diagram, where each line is called a rung. Also for the viewers, the Auxiliary Contact is often called holding contact, already mention in the video but just making it clear. Liked the video!
Such a useful video on such a basic, yet essential topic! Thanks so much for explaining it step hy step! :D this kind of vídeos are really helpful for beginners like me
Hello @makhamachera3327. Thank you for your question. We used Siemens' latest software, S7 TIA, also known as just TIA. It’s the New programming software for the Siemens Simatic S7 PLC series of medium-to high-end PLCs. But this logic will work with any PLC software because it is simple relay logic. Happy learning from REALPARS!
the stop and the overload contact should be a Normally Open contact at the PLC program due to the fact that the inputs will be True ,,because the contacts wired at the inputs are Normally Closed Anyway , thanks for all the information you share at your videos :)
Thank you so much for all your videos❤❤ . Can you please make a video based on the types of cables used for termination of different instruments on PLC
When the stop-pushbutton and the thermal overload-contact are both normal clossed wired to the input's of the PLC you must use --| |-- instead of the -| / |-- for both of them.
Connecting a normally open switch as a PLC input to 'stop' a motor is potentially dangerous. And for 2 reasons it is illegal. 1) PLC would fail to see the switch change state if it was faulty and the motor would continue to run 2) A broken wire to the stop switch would go undetected and allow the motor to be started with no means to stop the motor.
Very true. This is important in a real time application, since the stop pushbutton/ overload will appear open---using this very ladder logic (as it will be having a logic state 1 by because of presence of 24v). Except when using the plc simulation mode whereby all the bits are ,by default, not energized until checked.
Hi there, Thank you for your precise comment. You are actually right about the Normally Closed contacts in the ladder logic. As the Stop Push Button is Normally Closed, then we should consider it as an Open Contact in our "PLC Logic". Otherwise, the Stop Contact in our logic will prevent our motor from running.
@@realparsHi. I suggest that you publish a video clarifying something so fundamental and basic in PLC programming. Beginners may be left with a confusing idea when they have to program by themselves. That´s one of the first aspect of programming that I taught to my students. However, your videos are the most interesting. It´s a pity you didn´t take that consideration in this explanation. Thanks for teaching in such a clear and simple and animated way. Regards
In my school I learned the circuit diagram is done in international European system and the ladder language is American system, which is the same but the first is done vertically and the ladder language horizontally.
Thank you for your videos. I'm confused about how the Start Button (PB2) causes the other branch (KM) to activate and how having a normally open switch to represent KM makes sense
Great question! When PB2 is pressed, you should be able to trace a complete circuit from L1 (Voltage Supply) to Neutral (N). That circuit goes through the coil in the motor starter KM. When the coil in KM is energized, it pulls in a magnetic contact block that closes a set of contacts, indicated by the switch KM that is wired in parallel to PB2. So, when PB2, the momentary pushbutton is released, the motor starter run contact, KM, keeps the circuit energized. When the stop pushbutton PB1 is pressed, the PB1 contact opens and the circuit is broken. The motor coil releases and the motor stops. When the motor stops, the KM run contact opens again, and you will need to press PB2 to start the motor again.
Hello, nice channel, I think. But me as an CAE- engineer would place the OL1- Contact right behind L1- potential, so I would be able to take the potential behind OL1 für other Controls as Hand-0-Auto or on site - remote. ;)
In Ladder program the Stop push button and the overload should be "examine on contact" because we have to check if they are closed before starting the Motor
Hello Real Pars, Thanks for all your videos, they are extremely helpful. Kindly make some detailed videos on PLC, SCADA, VFD Control Panel with Design and Working. Hopefully you will upload it soon.
I afraid, this is not a question that can be explained here and needs a complete course! It needs special instruments such as synchroscope to measure the synchronization of the voltage and frequency of the busbar and the generator. Relatively you should have special knowledge about these instruments and how they work in order to write the logic.
Hi Mohammad, Thanks for your comment! We don't have a free software link to practice the newly gained knowledge. But, we do sell a variety of software and hardware in our online store. Including a sharply discounted TIA Portal software for €59.99 instead of the regular €2.4300.

Hi RealParks, thanks a lot for the videos. I am a beginner, please can you give the link or name of software use for wiring diagrams so that I practice it at home. Thanks for the great job one more...
Normally, design of wiring diagrams is done with AutoCAD Electrical or other CAD software, but there are a few "free" packages that I have found useful with my mentored young engineers. The first one is SmartDraw, which has a 7-day free period, and is very reasonably priced for a license. The other is SkyCAD, which has a 'perpetual" free version which I believe can do what you are looking for.
Hi Jefrey, Thanks for your comment! Happy to hear that. Regarding your question, I am actually not sure about this as this is done by our graphic and animation department.
I think the type of stop pushbutton should be Normally Open for PLc. Or if you use Normally Closed Pushbutton you should make the contact of i0.0 be open in ladder diagram Thanks Great job
Hi there, Thanks for asking! You can check out the company in your area through the link I shared. They sell Siemens PLC and I/O cards. Here's the link: Siemens PLC and I/O Cards. us.rs-online.com/view/search?keyword=Siemens%20%20PLC Also, you have the option to grab the Siemens TIA Portal programming software for free.

You can download it from the Siemens website here: Siemens TIA Portal Software support.industry.siemens.com/cs/document/109784440/simatic-step-7-incl-safety-s7-plcsim-and-wincc-v17-trial-download?dti=0&lc=en-US Happy learning from RealPars!
you always have to program the Stop buttons as a normally open contact in the program. If there is a fault you will never be able to turn off the motor
Yes, this is how the PLC logic should be programmed for a fail-safe implementation of a wired stop pushbutton. The issue is in understanding how the field device is wired and how it is represented in the PLC. If you have a physical stop PB, the contacts should be NC, meaning the PLC input is a '1' when not pressed, '0' when pressed or the wire breaks. In this case, the PLC element for the stop PB in the ladder must be NO. HOWEVER, if the logic is driven by a software switch, then th stop PB is '0' when not "pressed' and '1' when pressed, and the ladder, in this case, the stop PB would use a NC contact. This is why you need to understand how the system is wired and which devices are physical and which are virtual (software).
In S7 PLC's there are two memory areas allocated for inputs and for outputs. Each of these memory areas start at word 0. For instance, for inputs, the memory addresses are I0.0, I0.1, ...., I0.7, I1.0, etc. For outputs, the available memory area is Q0.0, Q0.1, ...., Q0.7, Q1.0, etc. Although the numerical part of the output and input tables are the same, they are distinct and do not overlap.
Yes me too, the lecture so great. Very clear and interesting. I have much experience in the " old method" but, PLC is very new. Thank you very much sir.
Funny how the "Overload" OL1 is treated as normally closed, when in reality they are normally open. But engaged (closed) at an active system... when the pushbutton is shown as normally open. Besides that, the overload is normally the first item in the function tree, as it is supposed to protect the circuit below, relative to a short circuit early in the circuit. Because imagine the scenario where the wire gets loose at after the "Motor Starter" in a normally neutral grounded system.
@@felipequintela3254 What i mean is that if a wire gets loose before or after the OL, the circuit can still remain active, if the loose wire gets grounded (bypassing that OL auxiliary contact). It will not matter if the OL triggers. Only if the system is grounded and not isolated. They are mostly grounded. Circuit is not optimal, as the OL contact is after the relay...
On the left-hand wiring diagram, there a motor latch (seal-in) provided around the start pushbutton by NO contact "KM", the designation for the motor starter coil. In the PLC logic equivalent, this same functionality can be provided by %Q0.0 in the branch around the start pushbutton input. If using the PLC to control the motor, yes, only the output %Q0.0 is wired to the motor starter coil in the field. The start and stop pushbuttons are wired directly to the PLC. In many cases, a NO auxiliary contact is brought back from the starter to allow the PLC to determine if the motor coil was actually pulled in. If not, after a few seconds, a command disagree alarm can be generated which may be used to stop the motor. Signals from a disconnect, fuse block, or overload package can also be brought into the PLC to monitor and control the motor. These "extra" signals cost extra to interface to the PLC, so often they are not done so except in critical applications.
How did you guys make the animation on the basic wiring diagram (which program did you use?) I have a school project where I have to make a animation witch is similar.
Thank you for your question, Jethro. Our animation department makes our videos using a number of programs and graphic design tools. The way we do this is one of our trade secrets. If you are interested in software to create electrical ladder diagrams, EDraw Max is a good place to start (edrawmax.com). They have a free trial version.
According to the electrical diagram, the stop pushbutton is normally closed. The first element in the ladder should be an XIC, unless a relay or a NO aux block is used in the field (would show up on an I/O drawing, not a motor drawing) to reverse the polarity.
@@realpars But it does not have an XIC instruction for the stop button. It is an XIO. With the stop button as wired, the logic cannot be solved and the motor will not start. That's how I see it. Comments welcome.
Thank you for your question. This is a basic stop-start circuit for any machine with a motor, such as a drill, blower, conveyor, or even a food mixer at home.

Perfect training example. Not overwhelming. Thanks.
Glad you liked it!
Very worthful video to those who are starting in PLC programming. The parallel contact to the Start Button is usually called "Seal-In" Contact.
Thank you, Melquiades!
I know it also as a "hold in" contact. The magnetic solenoid has been pulled down when activated by the closing of the start push button.
in the uk its known as a "latch"

I think there is a problem of NC contact of stop button. If the NC contact is used, the plc program will not run because NC then changes to NO.

that's great

Has anyone questioned why the first program instruction(stop switch) is a XIO which will not be true with a normally closed stop switch?
According to the electrical diagram, the stop pushbutton is normally closed. The first element in the ladder should be an XIC, unless a relay or a NO aux block is used in the field (would show up on an I/O drawing, not a motor drawing) to reverse the polarity.

But it does not have an XIC instruction for the stop button. It is an XIO.
With the stop button as wired, the logic cannot be solved and the motor will not start.
That's how I see it. Comments welcome.
what kind of machine is that?
Thank you for your question. This is a basic stop-start circuit for any machine with a motor, such as a drill, blower, conveyor, or even a food mixer at home.
