Analog Control Methods in PLC Systems

This document discusses analog control in PLC systems. It describes analog control as a continuous control method used for variables like temperature, pressure, flow rate and speed. It contrasts analog with digital control. It outlines common analog input and output components like sensors and actuators. It then describes two methods for analog control - voltage control and current control. It provides examples of the voltage and current ranges used. Finally, it discusses analog I/O modules, the conversion between analog and digital signals, and addressing analog signals in the PLC.

Analog Control

APPPLICATION OF ANALOG CONTROL IN PLC

IGTR
By Animesh Kala
What is Analog Control?

 It is continuous control method.


 It is used for controlling temperature, Pressure, flow
rate, speed or rpm etc.
What is digital control?

 In digital control we just on and off the output.


 Digital input components:
Proximity sensor.
Limit Switch.
Push Button. etc..

Digital output components:


Lamp.
On and Off of motor. etc..
Analog Input Components

 RTD
 LVDT
 Float Sensor/ Level Sensor
 Pressure Sensor
 LDR
Analog Output Components

 Solenoid Valve
 Pressure Valve
 Actuator
Methods of analog Control

Analog
Control

Voltage Control Current Control


Method Method
Voltage Control Method

 Analog control using Voltage control method


 Range: 0v to 10v

In SIEMENS if we give ‘10v’ it gives ‘27648’ to PLC CPU.


If we give ‘0v’ it gives ‘0’ to PLC CPU.
Current Control Method

 Analog Control using Current Control Method


 Range: 0 mA to 20 mA or
4 mA to 20 mA.

In SIEMENS if we give ’20 mA’ it gives ‘27648’ to PLC CPU.


If we give ‘0 mA’ it gives ‘0’ to PLC CPU.
AI4/AO2 Module

 4 no of analog inputs are available


 2 no of analog outputs are available
 It needs 24v dc to operate.
Conversion of Inputs

 PLC works only on Digital value.


 We need to feed digital value to PLC Microcontroller.
 So Analog Input is first converted to Digital Using ADC
converter.
Conversion Of Outputs

 If output device is analog type, we have to feed


analog signal to Output.
 There is also a DAC, which converts digital output
from PLC microcontroller and sends it to analog
output bit.
Addressing

PIW

Analog I/O Address
PQW
(Process Output Word )
