PLC Quizes

1. This document contains questions to test knowledge of fault management systems and PLC programming concepts. It includes true/false questions, multiple choice, and programming problems involving timers, counters, sequencers and more. 2. The problems section asks the reader to program examples involving a conveyor sorting program, timers with preset and accumulative times, up and down counters with preset and accumulative values, a cascading timer and counter program, and a sequencer. 3. The questions cover a range of PLC and fault management topics including inputs, outputs, timers, counters, sequencers, latch coils, seal-in circuits, retentive timers, and more.

Fault management system

TRUE OR FALSEn

gement

1. _______ One advantage of all PLCs is that you can use contacts with the same address more than once in the program. 2. _______ When the PLC processor is in the run mode, it does not execute its scan cycle. 3. _______ A mnemonic is a timer whose time delay is controlled by air pressure. 4. ______ When a timer in a PLC program will not time, you should suspect the timer is broken & you will need to program a replacement timer. 5. _______ A control relay (memory coil) in a PLC program is different from an output instruction in that its signal does not control a circuit in an output module & it's used mainly to determine logic conditions.

MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A latch coil _____. a. maintains its state when power is interrupted. b. is only sealed in & returns to reset when power is interrupted. c. requires an unlatch coil with the same address. d. both a & c. 2. A seal-in circuit such as the one used for a start/stop circuit ________ a. maintains its state when power is interrupted. b. does not maintain its state when power is interrupted & must be energized after power has been returned by depressing the normally open push button. c. requires an unlatch coil to de-energize the output. 3. When the input contact that enables a retentive timer (RTO) is opened, the accumulated value in the timer will _______ a. reset (go to zero). b. freeze (remain at its present value). c. go to an undetermined value & the timer must be reset manually. 4. A non-retentive timer has its accumulative value reset _______ a. any time the enable contacts are opened. b. only when the reset for the timer is HI.

c. any time the accumulative value in the timer exceeds 99. 5. When the PLC processor is in the program mode _______ a. it executes its scan cycle. b. it does not execute its scan cycle. c. it's impossible to tell whether the processor is executing its scan cycle because you are not on line.

PROBLEMS
1. Enter the conveyor box sorting program in ill. 6 in a programmable controller & execute the inputs to watch the program operate. Describe the operation of each output. 2. Enter an on-delay timer & an off-delay timer in your PLC & describe the following: preset time, accumulative time, what must occur for the timer to run, what must occur for the timer to time out, & which contacts change when the timer times out. 3. Enter an up counter & a down counter in your PLC & describe the following: preset value, accumulative value, what must occur for each counter to count, what occurs when the counters preset & accumulative values equal, what happens when the counters accumulative value reaches 9999, which contacts change when the counter reaches its preset value, & which contacts change when the counter reaches 9999. 4. Program a timer & cascade the counters that will keep track of seconds, minutes, hours, & days. 5. Program a sequencer into your PLC & describe its operation. Yourteacher may give you an example program or use the sequencer for the carbon brush application.
