SIMULATION OF EAS SYSTEM

An EAS system or electronic article surveillance system is a method of
preventing shoplifting in department stores, in retail or in whole sale. There
are tags that are fixed on the items whenever it will be sold. These tags are
being removed or deactivated by the clerk upon the payment of the item. At
the exits of the stores, an EAS system detects an active tag and will sound
an alarm in order to alert the staff that the shoplifter attempts to go out of
the store with an unpaid item.
The ladder diagram below shows the Activation and deactivation
buttons of the EAS system. Once activated the system remains activated
even the activate button changes its state. The deactivation button must be
pressed in order to turn the system off.
In ON state, the system is capable of detecting an active tag. Once an
active tag is detected, the alarm coil will be pressed which triggers the sound
of the alarm.
The alarm sound will remain on making an alert unless the OFF alarm
or Stop alarm sound is on.
 IMPLEMENTING BCD TO EXCESS-3 CODE CONVERSION
This PLC program implements BCD to excess-3 code conversion in PLC
using ladder diagram language. Excess-3 code can be derived from BCD
code by adding 3 to each number. The truth table of BCD to Excess-3 is
shown below:
 ELEVATOR SYSTEM OF A THREE STOREY BUILDING
The Elevator system is consisting of power switch which turns the
elevator on or off, an emergency stop switch and three floor buttons. It has
additional switches for manual loading and unloading of passenger to be able
to simulate the system. A counter was used to maintain the capacity of the
elevator below its maximum weight limit. An alarm was also attached to the
elevator as the indicator that the maximum weight limit was reached. When
the alarm was turned on, the passengers will not be able to move the
elevator. The number of passengers must be reduced in order to be able to
move the elevator car.
The elevator system has three outputs. One is for the state of the
elevator system which indicates whether it is on or off. Another one is for the
indication of the alarm signal. And lastly, one for the door state which
indicates whether the door is opened or closed.
The movement of the elevator system is indicated by a time delay or
timer for the closing and opening of the door.
 CAR PARKING SYSTEM MONITOR
The car parking system monitor is consisting of an ON button and an
OFF button. Once the system’s on switch was pressed, the system will
remain on unless the system’s OFF switch will be pressed. It also has a
manual switch for increase or decrease in the number of cars inside the
parking lot. A monitor display was used to indicate the time, day, the total
number or slots and the number of occupied slots. A light indicator was used
to indicate that the parking is already full.
