PLC Ladder Program To Control of Escalators

This document describes a PLC ladder program to control an escalator. The program uses two input switches - one to detect when a person approaches the escalator and turns it on, and another to detect when the person exits and turns it off. When the first switch is triggered, the escalator and an illumination lamp turn on to carry the person up. When the second switch is triggered after they exit, the escalator and lamp return to an off state. The document provides details of the input and output assignments in the PLC and examples of basic PLC ladder logic programs for controlling escalators and other applications.

PLC Ladder Program to Control of Escalators

Description

1. Let’s assume that the escalator does not move until someone approaches
it.
2. When someone approaches the escalator and turns on pass detection
switch: 0, the illumination lamp lights and the escalator starts to move.
(Escalator movement is up only).
3. The person is carried up by the escalator, and when that person moves off
the escalator, pass detection switch: 1 turns ON, and the illumination lamp
and escalator return to a non-operating state.

In this PLC ladder program example, consider both pass detection switches: 0 and 1 as
non-hold type switches.

Another assumption in this PLC Ladder Program example is that people do not
continue to get on this escalator.
PLC Input and Output assignment:
PLC Input Pass detection switch: 0 X000

PLC Input Pass detection switch: 1 X003

PLC Output Illumination lamp Y000

PLC Output Escalator drive output Y003

PLC program Explanation for Control of Escalators:


When input X001 is turned ON, outputs Y000 and Y003 operate. Next, when input
X003 is turned ON, outputs Y000 and Y003 become non-operational.

PLC LADDER Programming Practice Problems 1


Topics Covered in this example is using Contacts in series.
Number of PLC Inputs Required
X0 – Proximity Sensor to sense bottom of the Bottle i.e. X0 = ON when the detected input signal
from the bottle-bottom is sheltered.
X1 – Proximity Sensor to sense upper part of the Bottle i.e. X1 = ON when the detected input
signal from the bottle-neck is sheltered.
Number of PLC Outputs Required
Y0 – To operate Pushing Cylinder/Rod

PLC LADDER Programming Practice Problems 1


PLC Ladder Program Description:
 If the bottle on the conveyor belt is upstanding, the input signal from monitoring
photocell at both bottle-bottom and bottle-neck will be detected. In
this case, X0 = ON, and X1 = ON. The normally open (NO) contact X0 will be
activated as well as the normally closed (NC) contact X1. Y0 remains OFF and
pneumatic pushing pole will not perform any action.
 If the bottle from the conveyor belt is down, only the input signal from
monitoring photocell at the bottle-bottom will be detected. In this case, X0 =
ON, X1 = OFF. The state of output YO will be ON because the NO contact X0
activates and the NC contact X1 remains OFF. The pneumatic pushing pole will
push the fallen bottle out of the conveyor belt.
