Exp. No. 8: An Introduction to Industrial Programmable Controllers Using PC45/ML. (Part I) Objective
Objectives of this experiment are Familiarization with Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC). Introduction to Ladder Logic Programming. Introduction to basic programming instructions: Examine ON, Examine OFF, Output energize, Latch, Master control Reset (MCR)

Equipment list
The PC45/ML module contains following items: 1. Allen-Bradley MicroLogix 1500 Programmable Controller. 2. PC45 Programmable Controller Trainer. 3. PC45 Accessory kit. 4. PC49 Hand held compressor pump.

Procedure
Be familiar with the RSLogix software. All programming will be done using RSLogix programming software. StartProgramsRockwell Software RSLogix 500 Starter.

3/3 Programming Exercise 4 A press of green push button starts the conveyor in forward direction (using a self-latch operation) and a press of red push button stops the conveyor. Green lamp comes on when conveyor starts and red lamp comes on when conveyor stops. When the beam of sensor2 is broken conveyor moves in the reverse direction. It continues in this reverse direction until the beam of sensor1 is broken and the conveyor moves in the forward direction again. Ladder Diagram Hardware Wiring
