  • Welcome back to our Automation and PLC Series! 🎉
    In Part 4, we dive into the fundamentals of PLC Ladder Programming, one of the most common and easy-to-understand programming languages for Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). Ladder programming establishes the control logic that defines the relationship between inputs and outputs in a PLC, enabling you to control specific processes effectively.
    🔹 What You'll Learn:
    • What is PLC Ladder Programming?
    o Understand why it's called ladder programming and how it visually resembles a ladder.
    • NO (Normally Open) and NC (Normally Closed) Contacts:
    o Learn about these essential programming blocks.
    o Discover how to use NO and NC contacts in control logic to achieve specific tasks.
    • Developing Logic Gates:
    o See how to create an AND gate logic using NO and NC contacts.
    • Visual Learning with Animations:
    o Grasp complex concepts easily through engaging animations and examples.
    👉 Why Watch This Video?
    Whether you're a beginner or looking to enhance your PLC programming skills, this video breaks down the basics of ladder programming in a fun and accessible way. Understanding NO and NC contacts is crucial for developing effective control logic in industrial automation.
    🔔 Stay Tuned:
    In upcoming videos, we'll explore more examples and delve deeper into developing complex logics using NO and NC contacts.

    One suggestion to avoid confusion ,NO and NC terms are supposed to be used to indicate initial or normal condition ,if actuated/pressed NO contact become closed and same should not be called NC , similarly NC contact opens not to be called NO.

      @@nephilimshammer9567 this guy is right..... programmable logic controllers only think in true and false, and they are advanced and simple at the same time.... if you plug NC or NO contacts from a normal relay into a PLC, it doesn't recognize it as "normally open or normally closed" unless you tell it to, via the True and False logic.

    Very nice video; HOWEVER, a rather IMPORTANT point of clarification needs to be made. A device (such as a pushbutton or PB) that is Normally Open (NO) DOES NOT become Normally Closed (NC) when it is pushed. The NORMAL state of a device is its SHELF (i.e. out of circuit) state. Hence, the contacts of an NCPB will indeed CLOSE when the button is pushed; however, its NORMAL state (i.e. when NOT pushed) has not changed.

    • @PracticalNinjas
      @PracticalNinjas  3 роки тому +1

      We completely agree with the points you have presented. A physical device manufactured as a NO type can never become an NC device. A lot of viewers have been confused with this point even though we never intended it. To bring more clarity on this concept, we are preparing next video on the same topic and differentiating between actual physical input (push button) and logical input (ladder blocks)

    Very well defined. Most Electricians (Not dissing Electrical guys) do not know digital logic. Let alone boolean algebra. But this is the basis upon which the PLC processor works. It is , a microprocessor ( maybe soon a FPGA) that is handling the inputs, outputs and control logic.

    QUESTION
    In a corridor there are four switches and three bulbs. when a man enters from one side of the corridor and presses switch 1,bulb 1 gets on when the man presses switch 2,bulb 2 gets on and bulb 1 gets off. When the man presses switch 3,bulb 3 gets on and bulb 2 gets off. When the man presses switch 4,bulb 3 gets off. The same thing can happen if at any instance a man enters from any side the 3 bulbs.

    Good evening! Forgive me if I am wrong but I have found some things that hinder my understanding of the terms NO/NC physical contacts and MAKE/BRAKE XIO/XIC internal PLC logical contacts.
    First, i tend to believe that a circuit is activated when there is some action (pressing a physical button or contact by the user or when the physical relay coil is energised and therefore magnetizes the contacts.
    Second, i tend to consider the user physical switches and the logical internal contacts of the PLC program as contacts of one state, because that way the brain thinks more simply, while they are two states by definition (double throw). So even in the case of non-activation by the user or PLC program there may be an active circuit/load.
    With the terms NO/NC I personally like to refer to the user physical buttons or contacts while with the terms XIC/XIO, MAKE/BREAK the logical contacts inside the PLC program that are activated by the user.
    To what extent am I correct in my words? Thanks!

    Develop a ladder diagram for the following as: A solenoid valve with two solenoids Y1 & Y2 is used to control motion of a pneumatic actuator. Where Y1 is ON the actuator extends and when Y2 is ON it retracts. When a START switch is pressed the actuator starts extending. At the end of stroke, it operates a limit switch. After reaching the extreme position, it starts retracting. The cycle is completed when it is completely retracted. Both the solenoids should be OFF at the end of cycle. An emergency STOP switch is provided, pressing which the actuator should retract, from wherever it is and stop.
